A dining area and a fireplace are featured at this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental. 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 lobster pot. And you can even pack a bit lighter because there's a washer and dryer.
