About this villa rental

Pet friendly, Shelter Cove Harbor villa at Captains Quarters. One of the closest villas to the water. Incredible view of the Broad Creek and entrance to the Shelter Cove Harbor. Views are great from the inside through floor to ceiling windows or sliding glass doors that lead out to two balconies. One balcony from the Master Bedroom and the other from the Living/Dining area. It is rare to have such an incredible view from a first floor villa. Being on the first floor this close to the water feels like being on a houseboat without the sea sickness. Watch the sea life from the villa, like dolphins, sea otters, sea gulls, egrets and pelicans just to name a few. Or watch people entering or exiting the harbor on water craft ranging from sea kayaks to luxury yachts. Shelter Cove is a Mediterranean-style village on the harbor with a great variety of restaurants and shops all within walking distance. Shelter Cove is also a part of Palmetto Dunes with full access all of it's amenities and beaches.

Location, Location, Location: Shelter Cove is located in the Palmetto Dunes Resort. Palmetto Dunes Resort is rated one of the top family vacation destinations in the US. The resort has three miles of beautiful wide sandy beaches, world class golf courses and tennis courts and miles of shady bike paths under Spanish moss draped century old oak trees. Shelter Cove is a small Mediterranean style village with numerous restaurants and shops. Enjoy Mexican food and drink one night, then French the next or Italian or fresh local seafood. All have indoor and outdoor dining and many offer live music. All within walking distance along the beautiful harbor. Shelter Cove also has on site harbor master to assist booking boating or fishing trips and on site adventure company for kayaking and eco trips.

View, View, View: Wow. As soon as you open the front door, you are drawn to the view thru two large sets of floor to ceiling windows in the living room. The beautiful blue water seems to flow right up to the windows. At first you may not notice the fully renovated villa with the fully equipped kitchen to your left or the large master bedroom with king bed to the right. You are just drawn to the water. You then notice the dining area to the left of the living room with sliding glass doors out to the covered balcony even closer to the water. Slide open the door, walk to the railing and just soak it all in. Take your time, have a seat, unpacking can wait. It is truly amazing. You will never be this close to the water in a villa on the beach. The beaches are great and you can spend as much time there as you like, but the view here along with the peacefulness of the calm water and quite surroundings is truly special.

If you are looking to stay somewhere closer to the beach, check out one of our other properties. We have a cozy 1 bedroom villa on the beach that can be viewed at property number 130894. We also have a 2 bedroom villa in Palmetto Dunes within walking distance to the beach that can be viewed at property number 4129709.

Our family enjoyed our second stay at this property. The updates to the kitchen and laundry made a big difference to the use of the space. We loved easily walking to the harbor from the property and you can’t beat the view. Watching the boats and kayaks out on the porch is a relaxing way to spend the time and it’s an easy drive to the beach. The condo is well-equipped. All in all, we would recommend this property for a quiet and relaxing stay.

This was a beautiful, well maintained condo with tall glass windows facing the water. It was clean,quiet, and we really enjoyed watching boats and canoes pass by. I think this is one of the finest properties we have ever rented! I would give it higher than 5 stars if I could!

Nothing was spared in making this welcoming space a favored property on Hilton Head Island. This clean, well furnished and light filled space is perfect for those looking to have walkable access to shops and restaurants, and easy access to all that Hilton Head has to offer.

The property overall is in very good shape. Kitchen and extra bath could use a update but not horrible or in bad shape. The number one thing about this condo is the location. We spent hours a day on the patios watching the dolphins, manatees, and birds. Not to mention all of the boats and kayakers out in the creek. You cannot go wrong renting this location

The location was fabulous. the unit faces the bay and marshes and is adjacent to a marina. We watched manatees, dolphins and alligators from the terrace. Yachts, tour boats, kayakers sailed in and out of the marina all day. It was lovely. Also, Shelter Cove is conveniently located in the middle of the island and very convenient to great restaurants, shops, beaches and activities. Unfortunately the unit did not meet my expectations. On the first night there we were locked out of the complex because we had been given the wrong gate code. After driving around for 45 minutes at 1:00 in the morning we flagged down a security officer who found the correct code and helped us access the property. Also, the unit was spacious and could have been very comfortable. Unfortunately it was not clean and smelled of mildew or something else. One of the pillows in the main bedroom had a stain on it. There were stains in the main bathroom shower. The table on the terrace was dirty when we arrived and there were other remnants of previous residents on the terrace. I will say that the owners were very responsive after I contacted them and asked them to send someone over to clean. My guess is that they are unaware of the job the cleaning staff is doing. With proper attention and professional cleaning this could be a really great place to vacation.

The view from this property was amazing, and the location was so convenient. The villa itself has a great layout and perfect amount of space for our group of 3, however, with the use of the pullout couch, a group of 6 could easily stay in the unit. Linda was very responsive when we had a couple of minor hiccups (due to our error - not hers!). Everything was clean and in good working order. We would stay there again without question.

We love the centralized location with an easy walk or bike ride to the Palmetto Dunes amenities. The marina/shopping/restaurant area is next door and very nice. The owners are quick to respond with any questions. The villa is comfortable, but could use a deep clean in areas. But it was easy to ignore the dust when you are looking at the beautiful view.

Eating Hilton Head

Eating Hilton Head

With its beautiful view of the channel and it creature comforts, our condo consisted of everything good that had brought us to Hilton Head. Our "vacations" consist of interesting homes in interesting places, and several things are interesting to us: the beauty or interest of the locale; good places to walk and good places to eat. Shelter Cove was a good place to walk, as was the ocean beach near Mitchellville, Audubon Park, and the long trail to the pond and beyond over there between the bridges. We also appreciated being close to Bluffton and Savannah. And what great places to eat: Charlie's Etoile Verte, A Taste of Europe, Olive and Fig, Old Oyster Factory, Dockside, Hudson's, Watusi, Ruan Thai, and other places; and, in Bluffton, Nectar's, The Oyster House, an The Cottage. We are snow birds, so what we value in our winter travels, consists of comfortable and private lodgings, good food, good libraries and galleries, good movies, quiet, and beauty. And celebrations like the Gullah festival on Hilton Head during Black History Month.

All we have is platitudes to share. Suffice to say the owners accurately described the property. There were a few minor issues that arose ( how could there not as we stayed a month). The were quickly taken care of by the owners. Thank you for sharing your villa with us.

The views are just awesome!!! Saw many manatees / dolphins / and even alligators swim right in front of your porch. Unit was very clean when we arrived. The owners were a breeze to work with. Lots of water toys right there in Shelter Cove …. Try the CraigCats, they are a blast. You need to add this one to your HHI list.

The owners were TERRIFIC! We loved the property, the location so close to the Harbor, yet far enough that we didn't hear the noise. The atmosphere of the resort is family friendly. We rented bikes and had a great time riding all the way to the beach and all around the resort. We hope to come back again and we will look for this property first!

We can't say enough about this property! The view is amazing, especially on fireworks night. We loved watching the boats, we rode bikes all over the marina and to the beach a few times. Hilton Head Social Bakery is great, as is the Pure Salt Studio. The hosts were friendly and were great with communicating. Our only complaint is that the property is booked going forward! We will keep an eye on it for another chance to go back:)

Great two-week getaway

Great two-week getaway

As all the reviews note, the views are wonderful, with the marsh on one side and the marina on the other. The furniture is very comfortable - we especially enjoying sitting in the two swivel chairs with our morning coffee and watching the bird activity. The villa is clean and very well appointed, with enough of the basics (toilet paper, soap, etc) to get you going the first couple of days. Shops and restaurants in the marina are just a few steps away, and many more shops and restaurants are walkable or a very short drive away. There is an underpass that allows you to walk to Palmetto Dunes without crossing the highway, which makes a nice morning walk. Or, it's a short drive over to the beach at Palmetto Dunes if you're lugging beach chairs and a cooler. The owner was very responsive to questions that we had.

Great view of the harbor from almost every room in the condo. It was certainly well equipped with everything you would need to enjoy your stay. In general communication with the owner was good but did not inform us of the roof repair project on the building until a few days before checking in. Enjoyed our stay.
