Close to motor boating, cycling, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 6-minute drive to Guarajuba Beach or the 23-minute drive to Praia do Forte Beach (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

Spend a day at the nearby beach, relax by the private pool, or sip a drink in the garden of this 3229-sq-ft vacation home, which also features a porch or lanai. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at foosball, or enjoy the WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and stereo.

This 6-bedroom, 8-bathroom rental features a dining area, a sofa bed, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as an electric kettle, a microwave, and cookware. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have access to laundry facilities.
