Waterfront 1 Bedroom villa steps away from shops and dining in Shelter Cove
Welcome to this distinctive vacation property managed locally by Island Time Hilton Head.
253 Captain's Quarters, where amazing sunrises greet you in this contemporary one-bedroom villa. Coming this fall the kitchen will be renovated with new cabinets, counter tops and fixtures.
The villa is designed to offer a perfect blend of modern amenities and a serene waterfront atmosphere. As you step inside, you're greeted by a spacious and tastefully decorated living area that seamlessly flows into an open-plan kitchen and dining space. The living area is furnished with plush seating arrangements, including a queen sofa bed, allowing you to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views of the marsh.
The kitchen is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, including a refrigerator, oven, stove, and dishwasher, making it convenient for you to prepare your meals. The dining area features a table for 4, providing a comfortable space for enjoying your culinary creations.
The bedroom is a cozy haven, featuring a comfortable king-sized bed adorned with high-quality linens. The bathroom is well-appointed and features a walk-in shower.
The private balcony overlooks the water, providing an ideal spot to relax and unwind. It provides an intimate and tranquil setting, perfect for a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat by the sea.
This villa is in a perfect location, steps away from the community pool and from the Shelter Cove Boardwalk Marina, which hosts activities, shops, and restaurants.
Complex Feature:
• Community Pool
Rent price includes: Rental Rate, Hospitality Program, Beach Gear Credit, Booking Processing Fees, and Departure Clean. Your Luxury Concierge is included with no additional cost.
Shelter Cove Area
Shelter Cove is located mid-island and is convenient for accessing all parts of Hilton Head. However, you may never need to leave, as there are so many things to do right outside your door. 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. The Shelter Cove Shopping Center is conveniently located nearby, offering a Kroger grocery store, a variety of restaurants, and an array of shops to explore.
