Our most recent Hilton Head Island stay prior to this was Sea Pines, and I was a little apprehensive about the location, but that disappeared immediately when we first drove into Shelter Cove and then walked into the villa. WOW is our best description. The villa is very spacious, luxuriously appointed, and located with quick access to shopping, golf, restaurants, and the beach is a short bike or car ride away.
My wife and I enjoyed coffee and tea on the balcony in the morning and a glass of wine or beer there in the evening. We ate lunch at numerous restaurants and, for fun, compiled a log of She Crab soup reviews with Hugo's, across 278, the best. Redfish was our favorite restaurant, and Paulie's our favorite pizza. The bike catwalk under 278 greatly expands your range. The staff at the 3 golf courses in Palmetto Dunes were very accommodating. There are also lots of tennis courts a short bike ride away.
The owner worked with us to enable starting a day early due to a funeral that changed our itinerary. That was greatly appreciated. We stayed in touch with the owner via e-mail throughout our month's stay and even afterward.
The wireless worked very well, enabling us to stay in touch with our family, friends, and work.
All in all, we had a very relaxing and enjoyable time.
