If water sports interest you, nearby you will find kayak and canoe rentals, fishing boat charters, jet-ski rentals, dolphin and sightseeing cruises, as well as dinner cruises. Rent a bicycle and take advantage of the miles and miles of bike paths that the island has to offer, or pedal the short distance to the beach and spend the day in the sand and surf. Spend an afternoon shopping and dining at the many boutiques and restaurants located along the water's edge at the beautifully landscaped marina. You will also have use of the building's private pool, located within the gated grounds. As a guest at Shelter Cove, you will have access to all of the amenities that Palmetto Dunes has to offer, such as the beach club, the Dunes House restaurant, three world-class golf courses, and fantastic tennis facilities. The Dunes Buggy is just a phone call away and is a free shuttle service that is available in season to take you anywhere within the Palmetto Dunes area, should you not have a car or choose not to drive.

Beautiful setting! Peaceful and lovely. Especially loved the decor. While we did not cook much it was the most complete kitchen we’ve ever had in a rental.

Beautiful condo exactly as described and pictured. Parking and elevator access are conveniently located. Bike trail entry is across the street leading to endless miles of trails. Shelter Cove’s restaurants, shops and live music are only a short walk away.

We wanted to have a time away from winter in Canada but not intense heat and the weather in Hilton Head was perfect for us temperatures in the high 60’s ti the mid 70’s and we had very little rain and many wonderful sunny days. We walked, golfed, went to Savannah and Bluffton , had lovely restaurant meals and enjoyed some musical events and art galleries and mainly R and R !!

Captains Quarters, in general, is an excellent place to stay. Close to all of the amenities that Shelter Cove has to offer (boat rentals, restaurants & shops), but outside of the commotion on the marina promenade. The views of Broad Creek are spectacular as well. CQ253 is especially nice, being recently renovated and lacking nothing that you'll need, even for a longer stay like mine. Pool area is very nice, as is the gated parking lot, which offers both bike and kayak storage. Very quiet location, to be sure, which I truly appreciated.

We arrived on a Wednesday evening to a neatly arranged space with smooth music playing as we walked through the front door. Our property manager had made sure all of the finishing touches had been completed prior to our arrival and we thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, clean and simplistic designs of this beautiful home. The back porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening sunset views. The proximity to the shelter cove shops and restaurants is just 5 mins walk from the gated parking area and we definitely took advantage of this opportunity. We really enjoyed our 3 night stay and would love to make another trip down to stay again next year!

This has become my winter home. It is possibly the most peaceful rental on Hilton Head Island. The complex is very quiet and the views of Broad Creek, with boats coming and going from the marina, cannot be beat. Easy walk to shops and restaurants at Shelter Cove and the unit itself is nicely furnished, with a beautiful new kitchen to enjoy. I plan to return next winter, and for as many years as this delightful villa is available to rent. Look no further, this is the one you want!
