You'll find a kayak on site at this pet-friendly cottage. Jump into your car and make short work of the 28-minute drive to Hughlett Point Natural Area or the 9-minute drive to Mary Ball Washington Museum and Library (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind on the porch or lanai or sip a drink by the firepit. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and DVD player.

A living room, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning are featured at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
