Close to the sea, this beach villa brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 39-minute drive to Patong Beach or the 22-minute drive to Bangla Road (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind at the beach, chill by the outdoor pool, or sip a drink on the rooftop terrace; you may also like the entertainment area. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi and Smart TV.

This 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom rental features a sitting area, a charcoal grill, a safe, and air conditioning. You can also use the deep soaking bathtub and rainfall showerhead, plus other bathroom amenities like free toiletries, towels, and bathrobes. For your convenience, there's a full-sized refrigerator/freezer and a wet bar. And there's a washing machine, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
