Cozy in banana trees

A short distance from ecotours, birdwatching, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Epitacio Pessoa Plaza or the 57-minute drive to Pedra da Boca (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, 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. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis and billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and music library.

A living room and a dining area are featured at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a bidet, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
