A short distance from windsurfing, surfing, and more, this pet-friendly guesthouse lets you experience it all. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 9-minute walk to Reserve Beach, or easily tackle the quick 6-minute drive to Praia da Barra da Tijuca.

After you return to this 1937.5-sq-ft guesthouse, unwind in the spa tub 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 free WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a safe. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchenette, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washing machine, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
