location, size and Abbey springs property amenities amazing

Wonderful stay! absolutely LOVED the location and the area property amenities. It is located within Abbey Springs that has everything. Our VRBO came with cards to allow full access to the their full services. Pool, sauna, gym and food. So pleased with this. Also the walking in the area is stunning. Old tree growth and beautiful homes and such kinds neighbors. Checkin was super easy, lots of driveway parking. Easy for many cars within our group to park and get parking permits and cards for the facilities. The house had many great sleeping options and lots of extra bedding. Monica was kind and easy to communicate with, patient with my concerns and even let us back in quickly after checkout when we left belongings! Thanks for monica and VRBO for a fabulous 85th birthday celebration for my mom.
