Fun times with Good Friends

abbeydelsol — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 18:37:15 +0000

Our dear friends from Minnesota, John and Kristin Ode (Abby’s known Kristin since 8th grade) come down every winter to create fun and havoc for us. They even got Abby to the beach one day to sit under the shade at the remodeled beach bar now called UNICO. We went to eat at lots of yummy restaurants (John is displaying his kabob at La Choza) and had lots of fun. One of the things Tiff and Abby love the most about owning Abbey del Sol is all the friends, old and new, they get to share Paradise with.

Beautiful sunrise on the beach

Most mornings Tiff and Abby walk the beach as the sun rises. Walking down the boardwalk beach access near our properties this is what the sky looked at. Pure Heaven!

New patio blocks spruce up Abbey Two pool area

abbeydelsol — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:24:10 +0000

After much debate we decided to replace the grass (that we just couldn’t get to grow!) around the Abbey Two pool. Jin has done his usual artistic job of finding the right paving stones and putting in pretty planters around the trees. No more dirty feet getting into the pool. Hope all of our regular guests like it as much as we do.
