Captains Quarters w/ a Shelter Cove Marina view
Welcome to our beautiful condo located in The Shelter Cove Marina. Come visit our condo and feel like you are at Home with our beautiful views of the Marina. The views and the quietness are relaxing and serene. Our gated complex has a newly renovated pool and hot tub which overlook the intracoastal waterway. Our one bedroom/2 bath condo is larger than most available. We purchased some new furnishings, including a new bed, in February 2023.
Watch the yachts, fishing boats and sightseeing expeditions travel in and out of the marina from this second floor condo in Captains Quarters. Don't miss the dolphins drifting in to entertain the visitors. A convenient buggy service is available free of charge, during the summer months, to take you to golf, the beach, dining and shopping in Palmetto Dunes. Don't worry about driving to shops, entertainment and restaurants, as a short walk takes you to all available in Shelter Cove.

Walking distance to restaurants in Shelter Cove: Ela's restaurant is located steps away from the condo. For seafood, there's Scott's on the Marina, for the Sports Fans there is Top Dawg, if you like Mexican food, San Miguel's is a fan favorite. Another restaurant option is Bistro 17. If you would like to grab a quick bite for breakfast or lunch, try Daily Market Cafe. For the sweet tooth, you should try Hilton Head Social Bakery. Their pastries are amazing.

The condo was actually bigger than we expected. Clean and comfortable! Host was very responsive when we arrived and the keypad didn’t work. Great, quiet, location with easy access, elevator and baggage carts. We really enjoyed our stay!
I had an awesome time returning to this property to relax, eat, shop, play golf, and biking. The unit is always extremely clean and the communication is excellent. The location and proximity to everything is fantastic!! I look forward to returning a few more times this year.

Thank you for the nice words and for thinking of us again for your visits to Hilton Head. We look forward to having you again.
The condo is conveniently situated in Shelter Cove to restaurants and shopping! We were able to see fireworks from our bedroom balcony! Unit was cleaned and well-stocked. Hostess was very responsive. Had trouble with door code entrance
Place was very clean, well stocked and comfortable. Great location being close to shops, restaurants and the pool. Only negative was it smelled musty, which isn’t uncommon in southern climates with humidity. It wasn’t a big issue for us all things considered, but for people with sensitivities it could be.
This was my 4th stay at Captains Quarters. The location is awesome and convenient to food, shopping, biking, and golfing. The unit was fantastic and I hope to return soon. Thanks!!

Thank you Mike for the kind words. We welcome you any time to come back. Captains Quarters is a great location and convenient to so much.
Everything about our stay was terrific.
The check in directions, including securing the parking pass, was clear and worked well.
The condo was very clean, well furnished and, oh boy, the view of the marina was magical.
Thanks Melinda for such a great spot for us to enjoy HHI!

Thank you so much Karl for the great review. Please keep us in mind for future travels to Hilton Head.
We are frequent visitors to Hilton Head as we have elderly parents who live there, and have stayed all over the island. Shelter Cove is one of our favorites, as is this condo with amazing views. It is very well equipped and perfect for our needs. We hope to be back - thank you!

Thank you Reta for the kind words. We love Shelter Cove and we would welcome you back any time.
My stay the location was excellent as in the past. The check in process was smooth, efficient, and without any hiccups. The view from both balconies was awesome. I enjoyed early mornings and evenings taking in the view. Lastly, the unit was as clean as any townhouse, hotel, or condo that I have stayed in. That is very important to me!

Thank you Mike for the kind words. It is so nice to hear everything was clean and enjoyable for your stay. We hope to host you again.
Very nice, quiet and clean 1 bedroom with a great marina view ( beautiful at night too)
Easy access to the shelter cove as this unit is off to the side and away from the marina crowds
Had an up front view of the fireworks display - as you can see the marsh and fireworks barge from the 2nd bedroom balcony

Thank you William for the great review. We do love our location as it is close enough yet far enough away from the noise. We would love to have you back if your travels bring you back to Hilton Head.
The property and location were fantastic, and would definitely recommend to anyone I know. The only comment I have is needing better directions on obtaining the parking permit.

Thank you Rhonda for the kind words. I’m so glad our condo was to your standards. We try but not being there, I don’t know how it looks all the time. We hope you come back.
We have stayed at this complex several times before, but never in this unit. Was not disappointed. Very clean and well maintained. So many units these days are devoid of spices and things like foil saran wrap, etc. This unit had them all. Would definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much Christopher for your nice comments. We try to make our guests comfortable and want to come back. Please keep us in mind for future travels to HH.
This was the perfect place for us. Quiet, clean, comfortable, private; all needed amenities - easy access to the Marina's shops and restaurants.
We had some trouble operating the "smart" tv, but the owner Melinda was very responsive in helping fix the issue ,including enlisting the assistance of a very kind neighbor.
All in all we would be delighted to be back.

Beautiful Amenities and Location!
This is a perfect condo and perfect location! All amenities anyone could possibly want are in this beautiful Captains Quarters condo in Shelter Cove! We enjoyed the beautiful views of boats coming and going in Shelter Cove marina from the livingroom balcony, and exquisite marsh/river views from the master bedroom balcony. Sipping a glass of wine in view of the late afternoon arrival of the beautiful great blue heron was heaven! Tuesday evening we were treated to the BEST view of the fireworks! We plan to stay again at this wonderful unit!
My husband & I chose Shelter Cove Marina because it’s a view we are very familiar with & the restaurants are close by. The condo had ample space for the 2 of us and was beautifully decorated. The 2 balconies provided shade in the afternoon & the chairs on the bedroom balcony were easy for my husband to use. My husband opted to sleep in the recliner because at home he sleeps in an adjustable bed & is used to sleeping in a semi-upright position.

Thank you for the nice review. I am glad everything worked out for you. Please keep us in mind for future travels to Hilton Head.
I had a great stay at the Captain’s Quarters! Right away communication was quick and clear from Melinda. The unit was very clean, bright and just as pictured. It was stocked with a starter kit of soaps, paper towels ect. When I needed something Kroger was just a few minutes away. My favorite spot was the balcony-perfect to watch the boats go by! The location was great as I did not rent a car and was able to walk to the restaurants and shops at the nearby marina and town center. Highly recommend 10/10!

Thank you Andrea for the great review. I am glad you enjoyed yourself at our condo and hope you think of us again if you ever visit Hilton Head.
The condo was exactly as described. It was very clean and the view was phenomenal sitting right over the water and Marina close by. It was very relaxing watching the boats go by. The host was very responsive when we needed to touch base. Checkin process was smooth. Pool was very nice with comfortable loungers and shaded tables if you need to do some work by the pool or have a snack. Shops, restaurants and water activities are all walking distance. There is also a shuttle that can take you anywhere within Palmetto Dunes, with beach access to Dunes House or Disney. Wonderful stay and will definitely use again!

Thank you Kimberly for your nice words. We love watching the boats and occasionally see dolphins and manatees swim into the Marina. We would welcome you to stay again.
This property was amazing for two people. We saw dolphins playing in the harbor off our balcony in the morning and the balcony faces east so very usable in afternoon. Melinda ( property manager) was awesome and friendly when we had questions. Convenient to many fun things to do. We came to golf but will come back for food and the ocean!

About the host
Hosted by Melinda Mahood
We are a family of 4. I have been going to Hilton Head since I was a young child. We like to play tennis, golf, boat, bike, which is why we love Hilton Head so much.
Why they chose this property
We love Shelter Cove for everything it has to offer. We like to walk to the restaurants and not worry about driving or parking. When it's firework season, you can see them from the bedroom balcony. We also like to watch all the boats, kayakers, dolphins, manatees and an occasional alligator come in and out of the Marina. We also like at night, you can sit on the balcony and see the boats, unlike the beach, you see complete darkness.
