Marriott’s Harbor Pointe is an older resort, and varies in design from “newer properties.” Mariott’s Harbor Pointe offers large, free, blacktop parking as opposed to the “under unit” parking at the newer properties. Marriott’s Harbor Pointe is located within the Shelter Cove development, directly west of Palmetto Dunes Plantation. Shelter Cove is at the lower lacing of the “shoe” (island.)

Marriott’s Harbor Pointe is located directly on Broad Creek. The resort faces west, and the views of the marshes, Broad Creek, and the sunset are delightful. The balcony is secluded with a close lagoon with fountain, and a view of the all weather swimming pool.
The setting includes live green oaks and the ever-present palm trees.

The unit seems small and in dramatic need of a real designer. The furniture requires updating, and there are a variety of methods for a designer to transform a plebian interior into a real showcase. The few wall hangings seem appropriate, the LED TVs are nice, but the units deserve some tender loving care. Without question Marriott’s Harbor Pointe is clean and well maintained. The interior lighting is adequate. The exterior is pleasant cream stucco with faded red tile roofs. Overall Marriott’s Harbor Pointe is inviting and provides an upscale holiday. The second bedroom is small with two twin beds.

I have booked two weeks at Sunset Pointe @ Shelter Cove. I am scheduled to arrive there this coming weekend for a 2 week visit. Already I am impressed. My personal concierge, Kim Jenkins, has been in contact with me and assured me I will have a great unit for two weeks without having to move midway through our stay. Kim has already assisted us with some dining reservations and has been helpful with suggestions for activities during our stay on Hilton Head Island. I am a frequently travel to HHI and am very impressed with the assistance Kim has offered us to date.

What a surprise gem this is!. We traded this threw our Starwood ownership Interval International! It was an easy process on-line. We are comming back. I would request a backside room though. It over looks Broad Creek. What an amazing site! Hilton Head loves there wildlife! Hilton Head is a beautiful change from all the hussel and bussel of everyday commercial life. No billboard and giant neon signs. It is off the beaten path but not too far. You can still ride your bike shopping and too eating places. Everyone is friendly and helpful! I agree with SPENGLE1. Everything is wonderful. But I don't feel the room was too small. It was just right for a vacation getaway. Everything at you finger tips!

We've been to Hilton Head many times over the years, but this was our first stay on the Broad Creek side of the island. It's a hidden gem. The views are spectacular - tides coming in and going out create a constantly changing scene of the marshes, seabirds, and small boat traffic to the Shelter Cove harbor.
Our 2 bed-room, 2 bath unit was a bit smaller than we've had at other Marriott timeshares and the buildings are older. However, we had everything we needed in the well appointed kitchen including a combo washer/dryer tucked away in a corner of the kitchen. The unit was very clean with plenty of towels, comforterson the beds,flat screened TVs 2 balconies and parking right in front of the building.

Most importantly, we were greeted by friendly and helpful desk staff, a warm and accommodating manager, and extremely good service. Mimosas in the lobby one morning, caramel apples one afternoon, root beer floats on another day. The staff here was 2nd to none (and much friendlier than we have found at the larger, more elaborate venues.

Walking distance to the harbor with shops and restaurants (some of which were closed due to the proximity to the holidays and the slowest week of the year on the island. Very quiet and perfect for a relaxing off season week. The main road on the island is 1/2 mile away - so easy access to any place we wanted to visit including walking on the lovely, wide, flat beaches.

Definitely recommend highly.
