Close to kayaking, motor boating, and more, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 17-minute drive to Zingst Beach or the 12-minute drive to Barth Port (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 1130-sq-ft vacation home, which also offers a BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, stereo, and DVD player.

A living room, a fireplace, and a desk are featured at this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
