Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
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.
Relaxing patio, active wildlife, quiet setting. Had the pool to ourselves and it was refreshing. Close to food & drinks.
We had a lovely stay here at Captains Quarters. Beautiful views of the inlet and marsh watching the boats and kayak’s coming by. A short walk to restaurants and shops with views of the marina. We really enjoyed our stay.
Spacious condo with great views. We enjoyed our sightings of Blue Herons, Night Herons, Rosate Spoonbills, Egrets and more. Close to restaurants and recreation. We’ll stocked kitchen. We had a great time.
Great place and location. Sunsets are awesome here!!!
We really enjoyed our stay. Condo was clean and ready upon our arrival. It was so easy working with the property owners they made the process so smooth. 'This is our fourth time we stayed in the condo.
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. I am very grateful to have found this beautiful pet friendly property.
As depicted on the site, great place to stay. Fantastic view, convenient to great restaurants, close to other attractions. Would stay again in this condo.
We love the place. It is close to everything and has great views.
You can't beat the location of this property. The views are incredible. And to be close to the restaurants and shops is a bonus. Would definitely stay here again.
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.
Owners are fantastic and the location is great!!
Very unique location with easy access to everything to enjoy on HHI!
Wonderful!
Exactly as described! Great view watching boats, kayaks, and paddle boarders. Don’t even need to drive anywhere once you arrive! Ready to go back!
Great view of water yet very private.
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.
Another great stay, great weather and great location.
We enjoyed our week at this property. The spectacular view is the highlight of the villa. We spent a lot of time on the porch watching boats and wildlife come and go. The building is quiet and we enjoyed walking along the Shelter Cove harbor.
Villa offers a serene location coupled with numerous conveniences within walking distance. We enjoyed the beach, daily walks, long bike rides, pool, hot tub & endless restaurant choices in Shelter Cove. Marina wildlife, gorgeous sunsets & harbor boats kept us entertained while relaxing on the cozy deck. Owner was extremely responsive. Can’t wait to return to this gem.
