11. Bright Garden Bungalow in the Galapagos Islands

If you’re a fan of animals and all things nature, this next AirBnB is for you, because it’s right next to the entrance of the Galapagos National Park and the Charles Darwin Station. On top of that, it’s only a few blocks away from restaurants, bars, and art galleries. So you have the benefits of being near one of Puerto Ayora’s main streets, but it’s still secluded enough in nature that you won’t be hearing a lot of noise. The only downside to taking a vacation on the Galapagos Islands is that you’re not going to get high speed WiFi, so you’ll have to use your phone. But if you’re there for the experience of immersing yourself in the wild, you may not miss the Internet much, anyway.

7. Turks and Caicos FlameTree Cottage

Looking to vacation in Turks and Caicos? This cottage was built in 2013, so everything is relatively brand new.
