Private vacation home

A short distance from scuba diving, windsurfing, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 18-minute drive to Machico Beach or the 20-minute drive to Palmeiras Beach (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 646-sq-ft vacation home, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink on the deck or patio; you may also like the outdoor furniture and BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and stereo.

As you settle into this 1-bedroom rental, you'll find a living room and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with a stovetop and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
