Gorgeous house 3 min walk to ocean; community pool, Celebrate The Simple Life!

Happy 250th Birthday to us!
Welcome to the 2026 season! Very spacial rate on July 4th this year, check it out! Also the three weeks over Memorial Day are much reduced! We want everyone to have a happy birthday celebration! We all need an affordable vacation that rejuvenates the whole family! The Simple Life is that! Is cozy, comfortable, extremely well located in a gorgeous, well kept neighborhood, no-nonsense- it’s simple!
It is a family friendly vacation house, not an office, however the past years many of our guests worked remotely or “attended school” while at The Simple Life, so we upgraded the WiFi - new password displayed on the new router- and added an air printer, located in the TV cabinet in the living room. Just plug it in, and go! If you need more ink and paper, please replenish and leave it for the next guests!
Here is to a safe and Simple Life!
