About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Looking for “something different”, but still want all the amenities of Hilton Head’s premier resort community, Palmetto Dunes? Want to be close to dining, shopping and recreational options? Want easy access to all the various areas of the island by foot, bike, shuttle or a short car ride? Want gorgeous views from every angle? This is it!
This upscale harbourside and waterfront condo is absolutely the perfect spot on Hilton Head for your next stay. Our unit features Italian tile flooring, a full kitchen with granite countertops, a large dining area, an abundance of comfortable seating, and all the amenities to make you feel right at home. Enjoy the open floor plan with sweeping harbour views from large windows and a comfortable private patio. Upstairs, enjoy two master suites, one with a double jetted tub under skylights.
Just outside, enjoy all there is to do at Shelter Cove! There are more than 30 shops and restaurants on the first level of the complex. Take a stroll along the harbour to see all the beautiful yachts and boats. The Marina features Hilton Head Island's largest deep water yacht basin. Every conceivable water sport may be enjoyed here, from deep-sea fishing, inshore fishing charters and crabbing, to sail and powerboat rentals, to sightseeing and nature excursions, to dinner cruises. Shelter Cove is the center of many of the island's evening activities. Harbourfest is held from April through August, and has exhibits, vendors, entertainment, and loads of fun for the entire family. In the summer, enjoy Shannon Tanner, an island tradition for music and storytelling. The theatre and the island's only indoor shopping mall are only steps away. And the beach? Just a mile away -- an comfortable walk or an easy bike ride. Or, since Harbourside is a part of Palmetto Dunes, take advantage of the Dunes Buggy, an air-conditioned van which will pick you up and deliver you to the beach, the mall, or any Palmetto Dunes properties FREE of charge! When you are ready to return, simply give the shuttle a call!
Beach access is at either of Palmetto Dunes' two beach houses. Stroll along three miles of uncrowded beach. Enjoy canoeing or kayaking on 11 miles of winding lagoons teeming with wildlife. Rent a bike and cruise over miles of paved bike paths, enjoy a little beach cycling along the shore, or just grab the provided chairs, towels and toys and settle in for some relaxation and family time in the sun. In the warmer months, you also have access to our complex's small, private pool, just steps away from our door.
For convenience, there is a Kroger grocery store in the Shelter Cove shopping area, and another — The Fresh Market — is also close by.
RESERVE NOW, and come discover why those who visit Shelter Cove come back again and again, even if they have always stayed oceanside before!
One note: Both of our bedrooms are on the 2nd floor, and the pictured spiral staircase is the only way to reach that floor of our condo. Consider this carefully if you have mobility issues or small children.

Great view, well appointed unit, comfortable and homey. Great communication from our host. This was the second time we stayed here and we were very happy. Will stay again.
This property has great views, is in a very good location to everything, was very clean, well stocked, comfortable and has a host that provides very good instructions on the property, is flexible and communicates quickly. This was one of our best stays. We love this area and will be back to stay again at this property/unit.
The villa was clean and had a great view of the harbor. Was very nice to be centrally located on the island. The communication from the owner was excellent
We celebrated our 30th anniversary for this stay. We love the unit and the other people who live here are very friendly. It’s centrally located in Shelter Cove and was a perfect place for us. Clean, well appointed, plenty of everything and so comfortable and homey. The balcony was very comfortable to sit at the high top for morning coffee and watching the boat activities each day.
Communication with owner was awesome and we plan to stay here again in the future. Top notch!!
Excellent location in Shelter Cove right across from the marina with an AMAZING view of the water. We loved being in the center of all the Shelter Cove action and we were thrilled with the free transportation to the beach and to town square for more shopping and great restaurants!
One thing to note is that there is not a pool. It was fine for us but small children may be disappointed.

Great View
This was an interesting and unique place to stay. The view of the marina and the fireworks were great! Accommodations were nice and beds comfortable. The kitchen was generously stocked
The complaint we had was in cleanliness. Everything we pulled from the cupboards to use to make meals needed to be re-washed, they were not clean.
The vertical blinds in the second bedroom had 3 blinds broken and they were just laying on the floor in the corner of the room when we arrived. There were several standing fans in the bedrooms, but we didn't use them because they were covered in dust.
We did enjoy the location and it was nicely decorated.

We loved the place. We did find it to be a "little" dirty. The garbage disposal smelled badly, we left a cleaner we used for the next person. The dish soap you supply ydpes not clean the dishes. WE found dishes and silverware in cabinets dirty. We left better dish washer detergent there for the next guest and suggest using a better product for a better result. Worth noting was the mold growing on the heating/AC vents. Under the sink in the spare bedroom bath is dry rotten and needs repair. I found that when using the rest room. it is not visible if you don't sit down, maintenance may have missed it for that reason. It is a lovely unit, as advertised with a couple little cleaning matters. We own a property management company so the very last thing we want to deal with is a problem wle away on vacation. It was nothing emergent and we LOVED the place.
Great experience! Can walk on balcony and watch firework show. Can walk 5 minutes and be at 5 different restaurants. Host is super responsive to any questions! Good stuff, will stay again.
Great little two story condo. Great location right at the marina. Very clean and hosts communicated quickly with a question we had. Our dog didn’t like the stairs so we had to carry him up and down.
We had a wonderful time for our first time in Hilton Head. Lynette was an amazing host. The property was everything we thought it would be. Would absolutely stay here again.
Overall I thought that this condo was in a prime location, close to shops, restaurants, the beach, etc. The condo was very clean, spacious and had everything that you would need to have all of the comforts of home.
Great getaway. It was hard taking the stairs as much as you need to. But the ad tells you that. Beautiful views. Great location. Lots of shopping. Good food. Great for getaway. The only thing I needed was soap in shower and bathroom sinks. I did bring my bath gel so worked out great. Photo of the view. Beautiful
We’ve stayed at Palmetto Dunes several times over the years but this was our first experience at Shelter Cove. Throughly loved it. Thursday evening at “Neptune” was really jumping with a live band, You can’t go wrong with San Miguel’s happy hour, so many wonderful choices to eat, the area around the marina is so much fun to walk around, short distance to the beach, we left with so many wonderful memories.
Perfection location. In walking distance to stores and restaurants beautiful harbor view.
Our first VRBO. This condo was just beautiful. When you walk in your felt at home comfortable, a beautiful view of the harbor and so convenient to shops and restaurants. We rented a pontoon boat, took a drive to Savannah, rented bikes for the week all conveniently done. The condo was spotless walking into and had everything you would need. Of course you buy your own groceries. Kroger grocery store just down the complex. My family would rent this condo again and definitely recommend to anyone looking for a stay in HHI.

Thank you Lynette and Mark for a great vacation.

The condo was in a perfect location in shelter cove. It was super cute and had that South Carolina feel. It was very clean and has everything we needed including forgotten beach towels! The owner was super responsive!
The app was bogged down and not working properly but I was able to text the owner with needing a few instructions getting in and responded super fast. Any questions I had she answered right away.
My entire family (sisters’ families and parents) were all able to comfortably come over to watch the fireworks! It was the perfect spot!
I had to check out a day early due to last minute work commitments and the owner kindly refunded me for me night and I didn’t even ask.
Overall super cute, clean, cozy, perfectly located condo! If you have a small family or it’s just you and a partner/friend, this is the place to lease!
great location and property. note: the stairs inside the condo are steep and not that pet friendly so be prepared to have to carry your pup up the stairs if necessary.
the condo was super nice and well furnished.
