Captains Quarters on the Water: Incredible Views and Fantastic Location!

Pet friendly, Shelter Cove Harbor villa at Captains Quarters. One of the closest villas to the water. Incredible view of the Broad Creek and entrance to the Shelter Cove Harbor. Views are great from the inside through floor to ceiling windows or sliding glass doors that lead out to two balconies. One balcony from the Master Bedroom and the other from the Living/Dining area. It is rare to have such an incredible view from a first floor villa. Being on the first floor this close to the water feels like being on a houseboat without the sea sickness. Watch the sea life from the villa, like dolphins, sea otters, sea gulls, egrets and pelicans just to name a few. Or watch people entering or exiting the harbor on water craft ranging from sea kayaks to luxury yachts. Shelter Cove is a Mediterranean-style village on the harbor with a great variety of restaurants and shops all within walking distance. Shelter Cove is also a part of Palmetto Dunes with full access all of it's amenities and beaches.

Location, Location, Location: Shelter Cove is located in the Palmetto Dunes Resort. Palmetto Dunes Resort is rated one of the top family vacation destinations in the US. The resort has three miles of beautiful wide sandy beaches, world class golf courses and tennis courts and miles of shady bike paths under Spanish moss draped century old oak trees. Shelter Cove is a small Mediterranean style village with numerous restaurants and shops. Enjoy Mexican food and drink one night, then French the next or Italian or fresh local seafood. All have indoor and outdoor dining and many offer live music. All within walking distance along the beautiful harbor. Shelter Cove also has on site harbor master to assist booking boating or fishing trips and on site adventure company for kayaking and eco trips.

View, View, View: Wow. As soon as you open the front door, you are drawn to the view thru two large sets of floor to ceiling windows in the living room. The beautiful blue water seems to flow right up to the windows. At first you may not notice the fully renovated villa with the fully equipped kitchen to your left or the large master bedroom with king bed to the right. You are just drawn to the water. You then notice the dining area to the left of the living room with sliding glass doors out to the covered balcony even closer to the water. Slide open the door, walk to the railing and just soak it all in. Take your time, have a seat, unpacking can wait. It is truly amazing. You will never be this close to the water in a villa on the beach. The beaches are great and you can spend as much time there as you like, but the view here along with the peacefulness of the calm water and quite surroundings is truly special.

If you are looking to stay somewhere closer to the beach, check out one of our other properties. We have a cozy 1 bedroom villa on the beach that can be viewed at property number 130894. We also have a 2 bedroom villa in Palmetto Dunes within walking distance to the beach that can be viewed at property number 4129709.

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!

Great location!

We love the centralized location with an easy walk or bike ride to the Palmetto Dunes amenities. The marina/shopping/restaurant area is next door and very nice. The owners are quick to respond with any questions. The villa is comfortable, but could use a deep clean in areas. But it was easy to ignore the dust when you are looking at the beautiful view.
