Property was just as described with a priceless view of the water marshes and boats and kayaks passing to and from Shelter Cove next door. Parking was ample and always available which was nice. Location is next to a variety of shops and restaurants as well as numerous sightseeing and fishing charters so everything was walking distance and hardly moved our car except to go to the beach and other places to see and eat. Overall we had a very good time and would recommend this property for your Hilton Head visit.

What a beautiful place to stay! It was so peaceful being on the water. Super convenient location near the marina, restaurants and shops. The building is very quiet. Truly a lovely condo and very comfortable. Thoughtfully and nicely decorated with quality, upscale furnishings. Looking forward to staying here again soon.

Beautiful Space

Nothing was spared in making this welcoming space a favored property on Hilton Head Island. This clean, well furnished and light filled space is perfect for those looking to have walkable access to shops and restaurants, and easy access to all that Hilton Head has to offer. I am very grateful to have found this beautiful pet friendly property.

Phenomenal View

Our family enjoyed our second stay at this property. The updates to the kitchen and laundry made a big difference to the use of the space. We loved easily walking to the harbor from the property and you can’t beat the view. Watching the boats and kayaks out on the porch is a relaxing way to spend the time and it’s an easy drive to the beach. The condo is well-equipped. All in all, we would recommend this property for a quiet and relaxing stay.

This was a beautiful, well maintained condo with tall glass windows facing the water. It was clean,quiet, and we really enjoyed watching boats and canoes pass by. I think this is one of the finest properties we have ever rented! I would give it higher than 5 stars if I could!

We've been going to HHI for years, and this was our first stay in the Shelter Cove area and I honestly can't imagine a better view anywhere on the island! Sitting on the balcony off the dining room with the beautiful view of Broad Creek was the perfect way to enjoy our morning coffee, evening drinks and any down time in between! We spent part of each day doing "something" but also spent a fair amount of time just relaxing and enjoying the view. The change in tides brought different nature to enjoy. If you're a NatGeo type, it’s like watching nature programming from your own front row seat! We saw dolphins every day, some right in front of the villa and many further out in Broad Creek. Birds abound – from the noisy Boat Tailed Grackles, various Herons and Egrets, to Anhingas and even a couple of Roseate Spoonbills. A Diamond Back Terrapin visited most days and there were manatees in the marina!The Villa is beautifully decorated, clean and the kitchen is very well appointed with nicer kitchenware than most rentals. The bathroom towels are much nicer than we've seen in other rentals. The bed in the master bedroom was comfortable. The dehumidifier running constantly was not an issue for us, but something worth noting for anyone who might be bothered by the humming. The only thing that could be addressed is the inability to use either of the screen doors as neither slid well enough to use. Otherwise, we couldn't have been happier with the villa and we can't wait to go back!

BEST VIEWS ON THE ISLAND

We have stayed several times at this location. The condo is neat, comfortable, and close to lots of activities. We see dolphins, boats, fireworks, and the best sunsets from the patio. Lots of room. Large family room, kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms. We have stayed a lot of places on the island and by far this is our favorite. The pool is right next to the condo with lots of room. It has a nice hot tub with a view of the water and sunsets. We fish right behind the condo and catch all kinds of fish, as well as crab. Great to wake up to the view of the paddle boarders, kayaks, boats, and dolphins. You are missing out if your not staying here. The Goss's have been very friendly and accommodating. You will come back over and over again like us. John Ward and Family Reminderville, Ohio

Amazing location, perfect in every way!

We stayed at this condo from July 26 to August 2nd and enjoyed every minute of it. This condo is in the perfect location for everything. With only minutes to the beach, the dunes buggy will pick you up within minutes. This two bedroom 2 bathroom condo was spacious and clean and on the first floor. Very tastefully decorated with all you would need to enjoy what Hilton Head has to offer. We watched dolphins enter and exit the cove on a daily basis. There were plenty of fish and other wildlife to view. You can enjoy a coffee or a beverage on the patio and watch the boats come and go. This is the perfect location for the Tuesday night firework show and what a show it was. Shelter Cove is amazing. Just across from the Disney Resort (also stayed there), Shelter Cove has it all. From party boat fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding to first class dining. I would totally recommend this property to anyone. The communication from the owner was speedy and right to the point. Will we come back??? ABSOLUTELY!!!! Thank you Keith and family. We had an amazing family vacation.

Great location

The location was fabulous. the unit faces the bay and marshes and is adjacent to a marina. We watched manatees, dolphins and alligators from the terrace. Yachts, tour boats, kayakers sailed in and out of the marina all day. It was lovely. Also, Shelter Cove is conveniently located in the middle of the island and very convenient to great restaurants, shops, beaches and activities. Unfortunately the unit did not meet my expectations. On the first night there we were locked out of the complex because we had been given the wrong gate code. After driving around for 45 minutes at 1:00 in the morning we flagged down a security officer who found the correct code and helped us access the property. Also, the unit was spacious and could have been very comfortable. Unfortunately it was not clean and smelled of mildew or something else. One of the pillows in the main bedroom had a stain on it. There were stains in the main bathroom shower. The table on the terrace was dirty when we arrived and there were other remnants of previous residents on the terrace. I will say that the owners were very responsive after I contacted them and asked them to send someone over to clean. My guess is that they are unaware of the job the cleaning staff is doing. With proper attention and professional cleaning this could be a really great place to vacation.

We are sorry to hear that the experience was not what the guest expected but to be clear the gate code was provided correctly and acknowledged by the guest before arrival. We always ask our guests to immediately contact us upon arrival if anything is found to be unacceptable.
