This is the last night of our usual fall working vacation. The working part included painting the kitchen and stairway walls, weeding the yard, replacing light bulbs and lots of other little chores. We trashed the old gas grill, so the next guests get to use a brand new one, which also has a new cover. Please keep the grill and the garbage cans in the fenced area. This summer the homeowners association built a new wood fence around the pool and we are starting the process to landscape the area behind the pool. The new foot bridge over Oyster Lake is terrific and we learned there are some great fish in the lake. One fellow showed us an 18-inch bass that he took. Once again, our guests have treated Full Abalone so well that there were no significant problems or repairs. Thank you for treating it like your own home and we hope to see you again next year. -- Ric & Jeannene Manning / John & Lynda Wilcox

Full Abalone could not have been more perfect for our family of eight. It was perfection in every way - lots of space, tastefully decorated, close to the beach, fully equipped, pool close by. We had a vacation to remember.
