We stayed a month loved the peaceful retreat at Simons place! It is on a large piece of land - 10 acres I believe. It is a short drive to the beach (we loved Pine Beach) and the store is a 10 min drive. The area is nice and many upscale homes scattered on the same street. The homes all have 10 acres or more so you truly are secluded to enjoy the quiet and be in nature. There are bunnies that come out in the morning and sometimes day. The patio is lovely to have a drink on or even dinner. Watch of local events happening around when you are there. We happen to catch some street fairs and even a local carnival. Very family friendly! My children love art and had such a good time utilizing the supplies Simon offers. There are lots of kids and older reading material. Between the many books, art, land, and Netflix you will never be wondering what to do even if you stay in all day! The home is full of character and very different from the US where we are from but we loved the history of being in such a home. From the older style key to antique type windows and doors ,we fell in love with it. It unusually warm in the area a few days and the Aircon worked perfect. We appreciated Simons help the whole time and he was very responsive even from afar!
