Close to whale-watching, the bay, and more, this smoke-free villa brings it all within reach. Puppet Museum is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers covered onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 11-minute drive to Ahungalla Beach.

After you return, you can unwind at the beach, chill by the outdoor pool, or sip a drink in the outdoor entertainment area; you may also like the garden. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and DVD player.

As you settle into this 4-bedroom rental, you'll find a safe and air conditioning. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
