“There were no roads, nothing. There wasn’t even a model. We actually bought our home from a brochure. And I love it here.” Sullivan and Hand loved the climate
and were hooked by the location in Berkeley County, near Summerville, Moncks Corner and historic Charleston. “I checked everything, including the
distance to Publix and to the beaches and everywhere else,” she said. The couple has seen Cane Bay grow
dramatically, literally from nothing to 270 homes. Upon completion, the Del Webb community will include about 1,000 homes. Del Webb communities are known
for well-built homes, but the real draw is the incredible array of activities that are available. You’ll find all the standard amenities here, including heated pools, tennis courts and fitness facilities. There are clubs galore and residents are encouraged to create additional groups that serve their interests. Woodland trails invite both walking and bicycling
KATHY AND FRED BENTLEY The Homebodies Kathy and Fred Bentley are big fans
of the Del Webb lifestyle. In fact, after years of working for the National Park Service, their plan all along was to settle in a Del Webb community in a conge- nial climate. Kathy Bentley confided that she and
Life was good. So what possessed
these two to settle in Cane Bay, near Summerville, South Carolina? It was a combination of the Northeastern climate and the seemingly endless drive to the Sunshine State and back. They checked out numerous retire-
ment communities in Florida and stayed at a few places, but nothing seemed quite right. Then, on the way home, an e-mail about Del Webb at Cane Bay changed everything. “We came down and looked
around,” said Sullivan. “We were one of the first ones to sign on the dotted line.” Sullivan laughs and continues,
her husband first moved to Sun City Carolina Lakes, just south of Charlotte, North Carolina, explaining that the number one reason for moving South was retirement. “For several years, I wanted to live in
a Del Webb community,” Bentley said. “We like the lifestyle and the amenities. We took a couple of weeks and visited a number of them and made it to Del Webb just outside of Charlotte.” Two years ago, the Bentleys saw
an ad for Del Webb Cane Bay near Charleston and decided to make one more move. “We love all the things this area
offers and the wonderful weather,” Bentley said. The Bentleys settled into their new
home in Cane Bay in May and have enjoyed exploring the area. They’ve been on a carriage ride in downtown Charleston and visited the beach. “We had an evening downtown
and took the ghost walk,” Bentley said, adding that she looks forward to many more excursions and to getting involved with cultural events in the community. “I love where I live!” she exclaimed. Not that there is much reason to
leave Cane Bay, with the scores of activities offered by Del Webb com- munities, one of the big draws for the Bentleys. “They offer so many activities, we
thought it would be fun to have so many things to do,” Bentley said. “It’s like senior camp without campfires. We drink wine instead.”
