The house is beautiful and the pool is absolutely gorgeous. We had some issues with the hot tub not heating and John found someone to come out on a Saturday and fix the motor. Unfortunately the pool never got very warm, even at the end of our week stay. It was fairly chilly for April so I’m sure that didn’t help. My kids still swam, they would just jump from the hot tub into the pool and back.
John is very good at quick communication. He was also super sweet and dropped off wine, a bag of candy for my kids, and a bunch of lemons and limes from his tree (which my kids really got a kick out of, as we are from Chicago).
One thing to note, the kitchen is virtually empty. There are 3 skillet pans, but zero pots. No baking sheets or anything. No bowls of any kind except for a couple cereal bowls. Pretty much zero utensils or cups. There was some plastic silverware and Solo cups and disposable plates, but we ended up washing and reusing plastic spoons just to have enough for our family of 7 to eat cereal the first day. We went out and bought a ton of disposable after the first morning. None of this was the end of the world, just challenging. Had to use dish cloths for pot holders, as there were none. Again, just challenging in the kitchen.
Beautiful house, great host!
