Cozy house 7 minutes from the beach in Arraial d'Ajuda

Located in Porto Seguro, this welcoming vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Mucugê Street or the 17-minute drive to Pitinga Beach (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at billiards, or enjoy the WiFi and TV.

This 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom rental features a BBQ grill, air conditioning, a desk, and a water dispenser. 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 access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
