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!
