Welcome to the 2025 season! The Simple Life is a family friendly vacation house, not an office, however the past three 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! This gorgeous property is for year around enjoyment! The Simple Life is located in the beautiful, wooded Sanderling section of Duck, NC, a 3 minute, short, 180 yard walk to the beach on a level, tree lined street with no road to cross! The free use of the Sanderling community pool and kiddie pool, an easy bike ride away - located directly on the Sound -is included with rental. Nature trails delight everyone. It is also a bikers paradise! Bikes can be rented at several rental agencies in nearby Duck. This luxurious home offers two king-size Master Bedrooms En-suite (one on each level), a queen size bedroom and a room with two twin beds. Three full bathrooms, one half bath, and a huge outdoor shower. Laundry facility with washer, dryer and ironing board. A well loved crib (our daughter's, now grown) is available. High quality 100% cotton bed linen and towels are provided. Flat screen smart/Roku TVs with gazillions of streaming apps (find your favorite and go!), free Wifi and super fast internet. Hundreds of books displayed on bookcases throughout the house. Wood floor throughout, ceiling fans, huge screened dining porch, open sun deck and private covered porch off the master bedroom.

Covered parking for several cars. Hundreds of books to choose from! The entire 2600 plus Sf living space Is bright and open, with gleaming wood floors, carefully chosen art, new bathroom fixtures, lights and ceiling fans inside, cedar shakes outside so it fits perfectly with the surrounding nature and well maintained neighborhood. The open concept main level features a huge, fully and well equipped gourmet kitchen with lots of windows, Quartz countertops, fully stocked built in pantry, french door refrigerator with freezer and icemaker below, and a custom made center island "table" for everyone to participate in the food preparation, and for casual meals.

The space flows into the spacious Cathedral-ceilinged living room with a huge screened dining porch on one side, and an open sundeck surrounded by trees, with Adirondack chairs in the back. The first master bedroom opens off the living room. It also has cathedral ceilings, ceiling fan, windows galore, a large and private covered porch with arm chars, a brand new bathroom with double vanities, built in shelving and a huge open European shower complete with rain-shower head.
