A short distance from sailing, scuba diving, and more, this smoke-free vacation home lets you experience it all. There's convenient onsite parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 8-minute walk to Hamilton Island Marina or the 13-minute walk to Hamilton Island Bowling Alley.

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

This 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, climate-controlled air-conditioning, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a deep soaking tub, along with a hair dryer, towels, and soap. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, as well as an espresso maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
