Close to sailing, scuba diving, and more, this beach apartment brings it all within reach. Copacabana Beach and Ipanema Beach are just a short walk away.

After you return to this 4305.6-sq-ft apartment, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the WiFi, cable/satellite TV, stereo, and music library.

This 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom rental features a dining area, air conditioning, a desk, and limo/town car service. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, 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 an ice maker. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
