Close to windsurfing, surfing, and more, this pet-friendly apartment brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Shopping Tijuca or the 5-minute drive to Maracanã Stadium (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and fitness center. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
