Villa Carolina. Costa Nova, Jávea

Just a short distance from the sea, this smoke-free vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 9-minute drive to La Granadella Beach or the 3-minute drive to Cap de la Nau Lighthouse (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 2153-sq-ft vacation home, you can unwind by the heated pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the porch or lanai and fitness center. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the internet and cable/satellite TV.

A BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning are featured at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. No need to pay for a restaurant every night, when you've got an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator on hand, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
