After you return to this 240-sq-ft vacation home, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and video games.

As you settle into this 7-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer 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 a microwave. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
