Map & Owner's Profile
4th Floor Harbourside II Penthouse! Spectacular Views!
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Shelter Cove
When we first vacationed on HHI we rented on the beach..always! However, when we started looking for property our realtor suggested that we look at waterfront marina property. At first we were hesitant but the moment we walked into our villa we knew we were going to buy it. The view was/is a show stopper! What we didn't know was how convenient to everything it was. Walk out the door and you have a choice of wonderful restaurants and bars. The grocery store is easily accessable by bike if you wish to get in some exercise. Boat and kayak rentals are all located within the marina as well. The beach? We have access to 2 spectacular beaches, Dunes Beach House and Disney both of which are within biking distance or what we do is load up the car and drive there. (roughly 2 minutes!) Never once have we regretted not buying on the beach!
The Unique Benefits at this Penthouse Villa
If you have little ones and have vacationed on HHI before you've probably seen Shannon Tanner. He plays nightly during the summer months right below our villa. While you can't actually see the show from our balcony, you can see the top of the pavillion he plays in! So we are very close.
Every Tuesday night during the summer months, enjoy Shelter Cove Harbourfest (6-9pm) where vendors display their goods and many of the restaurants offer local entertainment. End the evening with a bir
One of 2 beach access areas offering free parking, bathrooms, outdoor showers and beach front restaurant with full bar.
Disney Beach access offers covered parking, snack bar, bathrooms and charcoal grills
Owner's Map of Shelter Cove
Welcome to our villa and thank you for taking the time to read about us! We are the McCarthy's, Mark and Mary Beth. We have 2 lovely daughters Amanda, and Samantha. As a family we have been vacationing on Hilton Head Island for the last 10 years and in 2002 we made the leap, we bought a villa!! To say that it was one of the best things we ever did is an understatement. This is our home away from home and you'll know that the moment you enter the front door. One of our most favorite things to do is to grab a cup of coffee first thing in the morning, relax on the balcony while we take in the comings and goings of the boaters and kayakers in the marina or out on Broad Creek. In the evening, the same holds true with a glass of wine and a spectacular sunset! The view is one in a million. Need we say any more?

This is our fourth year staying in your wonderful condo. My parents have been visiting HH for 30 years and my family has been coming for about 7 or 8 years and some years my sisters family joins us. Thank -you for sharing your home with us, we love staying here and treat it as our own. If you can believe it we had never tried Charley's Crab and absolutely loved it...was out favorite! We also tried Signes for breakfast. My sister had seen it on Rachael Ray's cooking show. It was very good! We also tried Stripes this year. The men rated it an 8 and the women rated it a 6... Good food not great ambiance. We heard The Sage Room was good but never got there. We did our annual visit to the British Pub. Food is always good but we especially go for their bread pudding. We were all very disappointed to find out that they are not making it with the sauce. We were all like little kids whose ice cream had fallen off the cone. Have a Happy and Healthy Year. We look forward to our visit next year With many thanks
