You'll find bicycles on site at this family-friendly vacation home. Jump into your car and make short work of the 11-minute drive to Valley of the Monkeys or the 15-minute drive to Le Cormenier Museum (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the heated pool or sip a drink in the hot tub; you may also like the garden and deck or patio. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and stereo.

This 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental features a dining area, a BBQ grill, air conditioning, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
