Close to the sea, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Portuguese Republic Square or the 3-minute drive to Observatório Vulcanológico e Geotérmico dos Açores (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 2153-sq-ft vacation home, which also offers a firepit and a BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

A dining area, a fireplace, air conditioning, and a desk are featured at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher, as well as a microwave, cookware, and a toaster. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have access to laundry facilities.
