Just a short distance from winery tours, this pet-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 18-minute drive to Collins Street or the 20-minute drive to Melbourne Central (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, unwind on the balcony or patio or sip a drink in the yard, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the flat-screen TV (first-run movies available). There's also a DVD player for your enjoyment.

A living room, a dining area, a fireplace, and a ceiling fan are featured at this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a deep soaking tub and a hydromassage showerhead, along with a hair dryer, free toiletries, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as an electric kettle, a lobster pot, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have a washer/dryer.
