Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1998
My wife and I are both from New York and both retired after working for the Department of Defense for over 30 years in Rome NY, Washington DC, and Heidelberg Germany. We both love to golf, go to the beach, and travel. We have traveled all over the world.
Why the Owner Chose Sunset Beach
We purchased property at Sea Trail in the mid-1990's after deciding this was the place we wanted to retire to and build a house. Florida was too hot and crowded for us and this area was the best retirement place we found. The people here are all very friendly, golf courses are great, and beach is beautiful. We purchased our condo a few years after we bought our property for investment and to have a place to live while our house was being built. Turned out we almost lived in the condo one full year as our house was being built.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
Beautiful view of the first hole of the Maples golf course, first floor condo so no walking up stairs, nice Village Activity Center about a 3 minute walk from our condo, beautiful family friendly Sunset Beach less than a 10 minute drive from the condo, out of the congestion of Myrtle Beach yet close enough to drive to for a day trip with plenty of activities for adults and children, and access to 3 nice on-site 18 hole golf courses.
