Beachfront Bliss! Condo in North Myrtle Beach

Communication was great. Showers had great water pressure. No issues with condo.

Perfect place. Been going to sanabel the last few years and will always try to go there every year. Great location and all the units I’ve stayed in are great. There’s nothing special about them and I love that. Very simple and homelike. With perfect views. Our families favorite place to stay. The rooms are 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms. Full kitchen. Everything you may need is there. Wonderful stay as always.

Pros: -Updated front bathroom -Updated kitchen -Back bathroom dated, but clean -Good location for beach and restaurants/shops Cons: -Check-in was 4:00PM; came in at 4:03PM. After carrying up stuff, checked the place out. Window by front door would not lock and could easily be opened from the outside. Called number provided and was told office was closed. Contacted emergency person, was told all maintenance was gone for the day and would have to wait until the next day. After much discussion, emergency contact ordered something from Lowe's and had it delivered. It was a door security bar; husband and security guard creatively put it into the window which was a temporary fix while we were there. -Back patio door is deteriorated and could not be locked and could not be closed completely from the outside. -Description of unit stated there was a washer/dryer, but the dryer was turned backwards. Repairman arrived 8:30AM on last full day of our stay with the part that finally came in. -Entire unit could use a fresh coat of paint. -Baseboard throughout the unit is in rough shape. -Composite plank floor in the kitchen squished up water when walking on it the first full day of our stay assuming from cleaning. -Ice maker did not work and no ice trays. Unit maintenance provided bags of ice after request. We hate giving negative reviews, but feel a responsibility to be honest for future guests. Would not stay again and not value for the money.

Great location, pool and hot tub area clean and well maintained. Instructions did not include how to lock the door from the outside-unlocking instructions were clear-and we had to call the property manager. The lock appears bent and should probably be replaced. The property manager called back quickly and we were able to get the door locked per his instructions.

We stayed for 4 nights and the condo was great. Easy parking for our Suburban with easy access to luggage carts and the elevator. The condo had plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 teenagers, with two bedrooms that each have a queen bed and a full bathroom. Air Conditioning worked great, and there was adequate hot water and pressure for showers. The balcony overlooks the beach and has plenty of room for relaxation. The condo association maintains an outdoor hot-tub and a small indoor pool, as well as a small grilling area. Beach access is right from the parking garage and has two boardwalks over the dunes with hoses to wash off the sand. A private company operates banana boats and parasailing right on the beach next to the building. There is a nice Irish pub right next door (try the Dirty Myrtle) and there is a mini-mart and an ice cream shop across the street. It's a short 10 minute drive to the popular Barefoot Landing shopping area. A few previous reviews stated they couldn't figure out how to lock the door from the outside. All you need to do is to hold down the big button for a few seconds until you hear the lock mechanism working. We thought it was super-convenient to go to the beach without having to carry a key... just need to remember the code!

There needs to be some updating, but nice. We were probably inside more than normal due to weather. However that isn't property owners fault. One bath is remodeled nicely, the other needs to be done. Beds are decent. Bed rooms are small, but serve the purpose. One bed room, the remote worked only the cable box and not the TV. No way to use apps on TV (such as Netflix). Kitchen was nice and has been updated. Parking was wonderful. My only real issue with property, when we arrived Friday evening, it was raining hard, winds were really blowing and the condo was cold, due to AC being on. However, the guest cannot change the controller from AC to Heat. It is LOCKED. So had to make a phone call. Never heard back since it was after hours. The next morning the readout said heat. On Sunday, it warmed up and even the sun came out some, and condo was very warm. Tried to move it to AC and therefore, had to make another phone call. This time I did the emergency issue, and this time I got a phone call. Told them the issue and and in about ten minutes it was moved to AC and we could cool off the condo. My issue with this, the guest should not have to call anyone to move the controller from AC to HEAT or HEAT to AC. I fully understand if they wish to lock in some temp ranges, but this is guest decision on comfort. Not someone who is not living in the unit. When you go to a hotel, you get to set your room on what you want.

I can’t give this a good rating for several reasons. Not sure have room for all. Room was at 78 degrees when got there. Set at 70, left to eat and came beach to 78! Was HOT. Called and sent repair next day. No ceiling fan in front bedroom! Living quarters good but bedrooms have ALOT to be desired. I know the way condo set up there is nothing you can do but bathrooms hard to move in. Front bedroom worse than back. No closet. No instructions on how to lock door. And dishwasher was FULL of dishes when we got there. Had to put all away to even have a cup of coffee. I would think the cleaning crew would empty it. If all the rooms are like ours Inwould never stay at San-A-Bel again. I have used VRBO many times and never been as disappointed as this. I am sorry for this review but being honest.

I booked this property for me, my wife, and my 2-1/2 year old for a 4-day beach getaway in the October off-season. The building is definitely a bit dated, having been built 30+ years ago, but still appeared to be structurally sound. It is located on top of a multi-story parking garage, which was incredibly convenient, as there wasn't a single parking space too far from the elevator and there was no parking fee. The property, which is on the 7th floor (or, Penthouse, as it is labeled in the elevator), is actually physically higher than 7 stories since the floor count doesn't start until after the parking deck levels. This was great, because it meant we had an even better view than we expected. The property was easy to access and very close to the elevator. Moving our luggage was very easy as there were several luggage carts available in the parking deck in front of the elevators. First impressions of the room, and I'm being honest here, we thought it felt small, cramped, and dated. That's really to be expected though given the age of the property. The bedrooms and bathrooms were small, but adequate. The beds were comfortable. Water pressure was good. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and the like. It would have been nice to have some dishwashing liquid in addition to the dishwaser detergent that was provided, as well as some extra trash bags. There was also a clothes washer/dryer combo beside the fridge. The living area was cozy, with a some comfortable couches and a large mirror on one wall that gave the illusion of more space. The coffee table was actually a large ottoman, which my daughter loved to play on. There was also a table and some chairs where we ate a few meals at and played some games. The very best part though was the balcony. The balcony itself was pretty large, with a good sturdy rail that didn't make me nervous to have my daughter standing in front of. It gave a gorgeous view of the Atlantic, and being able to watch the sunrise and moonrise was perfect. The only thing lacking was a table and chairs, but we assumed they were probably removed because Hurricane Ian had just come through a few days previous. The pool was closed for renovations, so we could not review it at this time. So, overall...would we stay here again? Yes. When it comes to value for money, this place is hard to beat. It's dated, but you do get what you pay for, and the view more than makes up for any shortfalls.

Nice property. It would be nice if you let us know how to lock the door as you're leaving. We figured it out but after the first day.

The building is older and signs of wear and tear with torn window screen and dated bathrooms However the Condo was very clean and the location and views were great and we were very pleased for the most part. The pool and hot tub area are very nice and well kept. We were initially given the wrong code and no pool bands given to us but we were able to get all of it straightened out once we spoke with Vereen.
