34 Gorgeous Beach House Rentals Around the World

"It doesn't get much closer to the beach than this. Walk down the steps of this thatched hut (with all the modern amenities you need, Wi-Fi and air conditioning included) onto the white sand beach in the Dominican Republic's Uvero Alto neighborhood, about 40 minutes from Punta Cana. Reviewers note you can hear the waves crashing outside the balcony window, and raved about the Superhost, Jose. He stocks the fridge with plenty of food and offers a generous number of towels to use for bathing and the beach. Inside, there is a king-size bed, a living area, and a small but fully equipped kitchen." - Alex Erdekian,Jamie Spain
