[quote=Anonymous]DH wants to buy a 2nd home at a beach.  He wants us to stay there all summer - he would work remotely and tend to matters he needed to in person periodically.  His idea is to join a local country club and have the kids play tennis and swim there (we belong to a pool club here), and just live the beach life in the meantime.  Kids are 7,4 and 1.

To me, this sounds a little…boring? I tend to rely on activities outside of our house to entertain my kids (a little bit of camp but lots of pool time and other outings). We usually take a vacation or 2 in the summer - we would probably curb those until the little one gets a bit older and trips with longer flights are doable again.

If you stay at the beach all summer, do you enjoy it? Does it get old? DH says it’s “stifling” here (he doesn’t mean the weather) and just wants to escape.  He can’t really disconnect when we are on vacation due to work demands so thinks this is the next thing. I do respect his viewpoint and don’t want to sound whiny, but it’s daunting to me to entertain 3 kids for 3 months away from home.  I am on board to buy the house, but only use it for 6 ish weeks and then rent it out so we don’t feel bad about it just sitting there.

Interested in others’ experiences please![/quote]
