Spend some time at the nearby beach (enjoy the beach towels!), relax by the outdoor pool, or sip a drink in the garden of this 3229-sq-ft vacation home, which also features a deck or patio. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the WiFi, cable/satellite TV, stereo, and DVD player.

This 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental features a BBQ grill, a fireplace, a safe, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a lobster pot. And you can even travel light because you'll have access to laundry facilities.
