We loved the area of Crescent Beach.
Our unit at Sanabel was alittle out-dated and we had several issues, even upon trying to get in the door! The handle of Unit 704 was badly corroded, I assume from salt air...and our KEYS (neither of them) would open the door!!!...and then one key got stuck in the LOCK!!!...we called management and they were kind and sympathetic and sent someone out...by then we had shimmied the door enough that we DID GET IN. He checked all keys including a new one he brought with him and they all worked. THEN...on the second day we called management about a slow-flushing toilet. They came and flushed it a dozen times and said could find nothing wrong with it and left. MINUTES LATER we walked in and floor was covered with water...so called them back. We found that in cut off valve was leaking; so he took it apart and tightened it. NO MORE ISSUES THERE THEN...commode tended to still flush weakly but OK.
BEACH AREA was very nice. We felt SAFE in the complex as well as the area. Several levels of parking decks not directly on street level which felt safer. Close to easy connection to Hwy 17 to good restaurants and Barefoot Landing and Tanger Outlets. We had a great time but I probably would look for another accommodation next time.
