5 recommended villas in Izu for a relaxing stay in Shizuoka

When you are busy with your daily life, you gradually start to feel tired. In such a case, why not go on a girls' trip with your female friends and refresh yourself? If you're going on a refreshing trip with girls, we recommend staying in a private vacation rental or a whole house rental. Have a barbecue, look out at the ocean, or take a dip in the pool without worrying about your surroundings. You can relax and spend your time at your own pace.

This time we will introduce rental villas and whole houses on the Izu Peninsula. Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka can be reached in about 1 to 3 hours by car or train from Tokyo. It is famous for its many onsen springs, including Atami, Ito, and Shimoda. There are many places to see, including the Izu Cactus Park where you can find capybaras, power spots such as Izuyama Shrine and Kinomiya Shrine, and Mt. Omuro and Dogashima, where you can enjoy spectacular views! The Izu Peninsula is the perfect place for a refreshing trip.

Sea Shell Vacation House is located about 5 minutes by car from Izukyu Shimoda Station on the Izukyu Line. Located in a quiet residential area by the sea, the first floor of the building is a staff room, and the second floor is a rental villa. The attractive view is that you can overlook Shimoda Port from your room.

The floor plan is 2LDK. The LDK part is very spacious. It can accommodate up to 8 people, so everyone will have a relaxing time. Of course, the living room also has an ocean view! You can relax and watch the ocean from anywhere.

You can have a barbecue on the terrace, which can be accessed from the living room. Having a barbecue while looking at the ocean up close is the best! We also recommend spending some relaxing time here, drinking coffee or reading a book while feeling the sound of the waves and sea breeze.

In addition, pets are allowed at Sea Shell Vacation House! You can bring up to 3 medium-sized dogs or smaller with you. Even if you have a pet dog and are a bit reluctant to travel, this is a great option.
