About this property
Condo on the Water at Shelter Cove Harbour!
***Just now back on the market! We love being there--we've mostly kept it to ourselves for the last couple of years. *** Shelter Cove Villa. Completely Renovated. Well-Appointed, Perfectly Situated Unit. This bright and airy second-floor Harbourside I villa offers AMAZING HARBOR VIEWS from its balcony. Shelter Cove is a Mediterranean-style village located on the harbor across the street from Palmetto Dunes. More than a dozen restaurants and boutiques line the beautifully landscaped marina, where you can walk to breakfast, lunch or dinner; enjoy live music; shop; rent a boat or a kayak or book a fishing or a sightseeing excursion. Or just kick back, enjoy your wine or coffee, throw fish or steaks on the grill, all-the-while enjoying the incredible sunset views amongst the bright flowers and host of private yachts.
Best of both worlds: Shelter Cove offers everything from fine dining to family-orientated water-front cafes and Mexican fare. Guests of this villa can walk downstairs for a cup of coffee glass or a wine at Bistro 17, enjoy a white-tablecloth meal inside at Ela's On the Water, take advantage of great Happy Hour drinks and live music at San Miguel's or catch spectacular sunset dining views at outdoor tables at Scott's Seafood or Bucci & Murray’s Pub on the Harbour--all within sight of the villa. On Tuesday nights, the balcony is the place to be as Shelter Cove becomes the island's most popular destination with free live music and fireworks. But all back to peace and quiet by 10:00 p.m. Fun and relaxing at the same time: The best of both worlds.
Completely Renovated: The bright and airy second-floor villa has floor-to-ceiling windows; a newly renovated kitchen with granite, tumbled stone and European stainless-steel appliances; tile floors throughout the common area; newly carpeted bedrooms, and updated bathrooms. The master bedroom with an extremely comfortable hybrid mattress king-sized bed overlooks the harbor, while the front bedroom, with two full-sized beds, overlooks the pool area. The den has a top of the line LG OLED TV with an advanced-component sound system that includes AppleTV player hookups, so you can listen to your own music on this awesome system. The dining room table seats six, while the breakfast bar accommodates another three for meals. An outdoor high-top table on the covered balcony is the best location for sunset gatherings or early-morning coffee. Overall, the upscale decor has a beach theme using sunset colors, wicker, glass and a mix of light woods against newly painted neutral walls. Calm and relaxing feel, through and through.
So much to do...without a car: Nowhere on the island offers more to do, without driving anywhere! Enjoy the building's private pool, located within the gated grounds. And since Shelter Cove is part of Palmetto Dunes, guests have access to Palmetto Dunes for beach, golf (All 3 courses at Palmetto Dunes have been rated an outstanding four stars or more by Fodor’s Golf Digest Places to Play.) and tennis (Ranked Top 25 Tennis Resorts in the World by Tennis Online Resorts). Guests also have free use of the owner's four beach bikes for the duration of their stay. Beach access for Shelter Cove guests is a one-mile bike ride away along paths under 278 and through Palmetto Dunes, or it can be accessed by car or the Palmetto Dunes Beach Buggy. The Buggy is a free shuttle service available to Shelter Cove guests during season that takes you to the beach, the grocery store or the mall, so you don't have to step foot in your car from the time you arrive until you are ready to depart. Within five minute walk from the villa, you have access to dining, entertainment, canoeing, kayaking, dolphin cruise, sunset cruise, dinner cruise, charter fishing and much much more!

We really enjoyed the location, and the patio. Loved that bikes were provided, although we never got a chance to ride the beach. Well set up. I would definitely stay there again. Walkability to restaurants and marina area was great. Loved that we could hear live music from the patio. Just wish there were beach towels.
Great location for easy access to beach, tennis center, eating/drinking establishments, grocery, and miles of bike paths. Condo allows fabulous views of the harbour and superior people watching.Owner was extremely helpful and responsive.Overall 5 stars.
Great location, owner was very nice to provide bicycles, beach chairs and umbrella. The view was Beautiful off the balcony. Everything we needed was close by, restaurants, shops, bakery, grocery store.
Our family had a great time in Shelter Cove. The area is beautiful and the condo was very nice. Had everything we needed for a great vacation. Beach only minutes from the condo and the view from the balcony was amazing. Would love to stay again!

Thanks for your kind words. And thanks for taking great care of my place. Hope y’all can come back.
The condo was extremely clean, it had an amazing view and it is in a great location. The owner provided great information about the condo and area, along with responding quickly to questions.
Great location loved overlooking the marina and grabbing a coffee and fresh pastries from the shop below.
Nice patio to enjoy a glass of wine and the sunset.
Great weather. Owner very nice and easy to communicate with. The view was amazing. Loved having the Palmetto Dunes amenities. Looking forward to return.
This unit is perfect.Great location and every amenity. Very spacious and lots of storage. Fun area with many shops and restaurants within steps. Beautiful view of marina.
Condo has everything you need. Byron was so thorough with instructions it made accommodations easy. Sunsets over the Marina was a nightly highlight. My Wife and I already looking forward to the next time we can return.
This Condo is well equipped, was clean and the proximity to everything, was appreciated. Beds were good, beach chairs were provided, and having the washer and dryer was great! We sat on the covered porch every morning having coffee, and also in the evenings, and enjoyed the Marina. Loved the location, and everything about our two weeks at “Condo on the Water”.
The condo was a perfect spot for our family vacation. Shelter Cove has a little of everything and served as an ideal home base for our island adventures. Byron was great and the check in process could not have been easier. We can’t wait to get back to HH!
Everything was fantastic about our stay --- Byron was great from the start! He was always available and quick to respond to any messages,
Only surprise was no beach towels as well equipped as the condo is.
We highly recommend it and would stay there again if we return to Hilton Head!
It’s the first time I’ve ever been late to check out. Perhaps it was the relaxed balcony (thanks to the fan), the comfortable sofas, or the gorgeous view of the harbor from the master bedroom. Maybe it was the convenience of the restaurants and stores. Maybe it was the whole vibe (Tuesday fireworks without leaving the condo!). Maybe it was the fact that I could work and relax at the same time. Whatever it was, this felt more like retirement than vacation - and the real estate office downstairs helped me dream! We stayed during an incredible heat wave in July and yet I felt so chill. And then the cleaning crew needed to get in to the condo to get the place ready for the next lucky guests. I’ll be back!

Why they chose this property
Shelter Cove can be so many different things--all depending on your mood: It's Festive and Fun; or it's Quiet and Romantic; or it's an Adventure on the water; or... And you get to change your mind every day about what you want it to be.
What makes this property unique
Terrific mid-island location in Palmetto Dunes Plantation. Bike/walking paths everywhere. On-the-water location. Restaurants and shops all around in a Mediterranean Village setting, Palmetto Dunes 'Dunes Buggy' for free transportation--many guests don't get back into their cars until it's time to leave the island.
