Close to surfing, snorkeling, and more, this luxury villa brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 6-minute drive to Kata Beach or the 8-minute drive to Karon Beach (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Spend a day at the nearby beach, relax by the outdoor pool, or sip a drink on the balcony of this villa, which also features outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and DVD player.

As you settle into this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom rental, you'll find a BBQ grill, a safe, air conditioning, and a roundtrip airport shuttle. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, free toiletries, and bathrobes. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchenette, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
