Stone house Katarina with pool

A short distance from scuba diving, water skiing, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 14-minute drive to Kvarner Gulf or the 8-minute drive to Sentonina Staza Waterfall (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 1938-sq-ft vacation home, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the porch or lanai and BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, a fireplace, and air conditioning. You can also use the jetted bathtub, plus other bathroom amenities like towels and toilet paper. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and cookware. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
