Casa Vista Bela by Our Madeira

Close to windsurfing, fishing, and more, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Casa das Mudas Arts Center or the 4-minute drive to Calheta Beach (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the balcony. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and DVD player.

This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a safe. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have a washing machine.
