About WaterWalk at Shelter Cove

WaterWalk at Shelter Cove Towne Centre is a rental apartment community in the middle of Shelter Cove, on the southern shore of Broad Creek. It sits between the Towne Centre’s shops and the marsh, with Shelter Cove Community Park and the Veterans Memorial on either side. The apartments run from one-bedroom homes of about 1,050 square feet to three-bedroom ones of about 2,100, many with screened porches, and residents get a pool and sundeck over the creek, a fitness centre, a club room, a courtyard with grills, concierge services and gated parking with a garage entrance on each floor.

The appeal is the location. Residents say they can walk to the grocery store, shops and restaurants, ride a bike to the beach, and join the events the staff organise, and several reviews thank members of the leasing team by name. Reviewers rate it highly, and the lone recent complaint was about a phone call, not the apartments.

Renting at WaterWalk, Hilton Head

WaterWalk leases for 12 to 36 months and does not offer short-term stays, so it is somewhere to live rather than somewhere to spend a week. It welcomes pets, is smoke-free and requires renters insurance. Floor plans, current rents and tours are on WaterWalk’s own website, which is the place to ask about availability.

Looking for a holiday stay at Shelter Cove instead? The condominium buildings around the harbour are rented short-term; our Hilton Head vacation rentals guide covers the companies that manage them. And if you want to buy on the island rather than rent, start with our Hilton Head real estate guide.

What reviewers say

Residents praise the waterfront setting, the spacious apartments and the location: they walk to the grocery store, shops and restaurants and ride bikes to the beach, and the staff put on events for residents. Several reviews thank the leasing team by name. The one recent one-star review came from a caller put off by how the phone was answered.
