Close to the riverside, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 25-minute drive to Fuengirola Beach or the 21-minute drive to Mijas Golf Course (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 1399-sq-ft vacation home, you can unwind by the private pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the porch or lanai. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental features a living room, a fireplace, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
