When we booked the vacation we kind of expected everything to just kind of be set so we could go and relax and enjoy. It was kind of a bummer that we were having to give a heads up about when we were going to use the bbq, when he was going to work on the pool maintenance and having to wait to swim. There was so much communication throughout our stay. It felt a bit more like cohabitating and we tried to be very considerate and respectful- as we always would. I worried about being annoying the few times I did have to reach out. Stephen did assure me that we were awesome guests and was very good at communicating throughout our stay. I just wish that everything was set in place and ready for us when we got there so we could fully enjoy all the amenities upon our arrive. We also felt like we were being listened to. Our first morning there I was making some pancakes and had mentioned to my husband while standing in the kitchen “I wish there were some mixing bowls. These bowls are small i can only mix a couple pancakes at a time.” Shortly after I was messaged that there were mixing bowls ordered. My kids were playing in the living room and I got a message saying “please, no gymnastics in the living room.” So then the rest of the trip I was trying to tell my kids to play quietly and try not to make too much noise. Which is a bummer when we’re all on vacation and wanting to run around, play and dance. Also, the kitchen door that connects to the stairway going down to where Stephen lives was finicky. We went through to make sure all the doors were locked at night and while it was locked it wasn’t latching right and could be pushed open. So we had to play with it a bit to get it latched shut. And I love that there was a washer and dryer there but, was unsure how to get to it because i didn’t want to touch the big beautiful car that was in there. Overall, it was a beautiful place, there are just some things that we would have preferred and we had expected.
