The beaches are beyond beautiful! Capt. Brandon was a great fishing experience. Call him if you need a guide. We will definitely be back.

My two sisters and I and our families had a wonderful time! The close proximity to the beach is excellent and all eleven of us felt perfectly at home in this cozy setting.

My sisters and our families rented the pink cottage at Full Abalone on Santa Rosa beach, and all ten of us give the property two thumbs up! From the moment our feet landed on the welcome mat our three families felt at home in your spacious, family-friendly townhouse. The open floorplan on the main level made day to day activities much simpler with such a crowd. The kids awoke every day in a race to the front windows to see what color flag was flying at the beach. Our young children especially loved the bunkroom and 3rd floor crow's nest "for their own privacy". The rest of us big kids were equally as pleased with our rooms and private balconies, especially when we needed to escape the family chaos for a few quiet moments to be alone with the sky and sea. We were blessed with sunny skies, friendly neighbors, great fishing, and mild surf for the entire week. The large front porch, outdoor shower, and hardwood floors made cleaning off after a day at the beach a breeze. We all enjoyed that the pool was only a house away and had an outdoor shower and bathrooms as well. Our only problem was having to eventually leave (plus the rascally raccoons who pillaged the trash every night, but even those little varmints were pretty tidy!).

This house was beautiful, and was so close to a private pool, Bay, and pure white beach sand. It was convenient for us as we walked to the wedding we were there for which was right on the beach. Great views, and great times.

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.

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.

Wonderful, wonderful time. This place exceeded our expectations & is now home to plenty of memories. We are not together as a family often and this is an ideal setting.

We are wrapping up another great summer season in Santa Rosa Beach. We spent this week doing a few minor chores, but everyone has treated Full Abalone so well that there is very little for us to do. Landscaping for the whole Beach Haven area has been upgraded, the pool is in find shape and the beach looks terrific. You would never know that we had any storms in 2005.

The county has started work on replacing the causeway road at Oyster Lake with a new biking/walking bridge. It will add to the beauty of the Dune Allen neighborhood when it is finished, hopefully by spring.

To all of you who shared our home this season, thank you for treating it like your own home and we hope to see you again next year.
