Such a huge home with space for the kids to run around and the adults to space out. Decor is minimal and beautiful. There weren’t many things the kids could mess with so that was a huge win.
Air conditioning worked really well for the entire home which is impressive given it’s a huge house.
So many towels (pool and bath) which was really convenient. Beds we’re incredibly soft and comfortable. Even my kids sleep great.
Love the ample seating in the back yard. Lots of shade when you need a break from the sun. But if sitting outside the pool be prepared with bug spray.
The kitchen could use some improvements if you want to cook/entertain. Given covid- we didn’t dine out and grocery stores are ample. So cooking was the way to go.
I found only one cutting board. There are no serving plates if you make a dish. There are no baking dishes/sheets. That means you use plates which minimizes how many you have to eat on. Could use more plates, larger glasses and wine glasses as well.
No aluminum foil. There are no condiments other than salt and pepper, oil and vinegar. If you make burgers or dogs, you need to shop for your own ketchup and mustard. No sugar. No coffee.
If eating out often then it’s totally fine.
Everything else about the house is perfect honestly so I would be back in seconds to come stay again. The missing kitchen stuff was minor in my mind but for the major cooking family, I could see this being difficult.
