About this property

# 305 A Luxury Resort at Little Harbor With Dolphins and Fishing Just Steps Away

This is an Island-Style getaway...
Privately owned and privately managed.
Great waterfront view to wake up to. There are 2 pools, one heated, both overlooking the water. Beach, restaurants and tiki bar just steps away. Sit on the private patio and watch dolphins. Steps away from fishing out the front door or from the pier. Beautiful sunsets. Truly one of the most peaceful resorts that you will evet visit.

Beautiful, quiet, tranquil
The property is exactly as it stated online. I literally walked out the back door, went 20 feet to the lagoon in the back, and there were dolphins! It was incredible. The space has everything I needed, and it was very easy to access. When I come back to the area, I will definitely be staying here again.

A hidden gem
Everything as described. Loved our little condo with a great view, easy parking, great amenities. Spent time at one of the pools which was clean and guests respected the rules. Just a short walk to Sunset grille for dinner or drinks for sunset. Got to see a dolphin right from the swimming pool! The condo has everything you need. Hairdryer, two beach towels, dishes and glassware, fan, comfy linens. Had enough amenities that we could have cooked our meals there but we were only there for the weekend. The a/c was pleasant and an extra fan was included for hot moments. We would definitely stay again! So glad our cousins recommended this to us!

Nature lovers dream location
What an absolute great place! The listing doesn’t do it justice. I truly enjoyed this property and would love to return. The manatees, dolphins, eagles and osprey had me in awe the entire time. Such a great location to visit other beautiful beaches with a short car ride. Thank you for a great vacation.

Great Place to Stay
This is the perfect location to stay when we visit my in-laws who live in Freedom Plaza. This unit was very nice, had everything we needed during our stay. Very clean and comfortable. Also, very nice to have a view of the canal to watch the dolphins swim by.

Short getaway
The property was very cute and perfect for a couples getaway. The dolphins out front were excited to see. The little beach nearby was great for sunbathing. The restaurant on the beach was great for drinks and appetizers. 2 pools on the property. Overall a very fun time.

Relaxing
The condo faced the slipway so we could see birds of all kinds and it was quiet. We enjoyed the pools and hot tubs and the beach. The sunrise grilll and Hooks had amazing food . Thank you to the owners for making the place so comfortable and affordable as we were celebrating our 36th anniversary a little early. Just what we needed.

Staying in paradise!!
The perfect place to put all your worries away and just relax for a weekend, week or longer!! Love sitting on the patio watching amazing boats and the beautiful dolphins several times a day. There really is everything you need including a couple restaurants, beach, pools and fishing dock! You can go into town for breakfast which is only a 5 min drive. Unit was very clean and the air purifier is a special bonus to this unit. Check in has always been very easy and communicating with the owners/manager has also always been great! We’ve been going to Little Harbor for 3 years and the last 2 have been in this unit. We’re so grateful to have such a nice place to escape too and wonderful people to communicate with.

Very nice clean condo.
the size was perfect for us two. Clean, comfortable and nice view. Bed was super comfortable. Could have used some shower soap. And just a suggestion, a coffee table would have been great to eat at while watching TV. Would definitely stay again.

Great property
Absolutely amazing property we even saw dolphins a couple of the days we were there. We enjoyed sitting outside our room and just looking at the water. The sunset restaurant was decent food with entertainment nightly which was nice. We were there with family and other unit so it was kind of nice that we were all together. The condo itself was great head anything that you needed to use coffee maker microwave stove toaster. Everything about our state was fabulous thank you so much

Weekend Getaway
This property was absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway. Little Harbor is an amazing resort area that is pretty well hidden from the normal traffic and all amenities are an easy walk from the unit. The unit looks directly at the channel and you can enjoy beautiful sunrises right out the front door from the patio. We had a fabulous time here and will be back.

Nice Getaway
My overall impression of unit 305 is outstanding. The unit was very clean. The linens and towels smelled fresh and clean. The bed was very comfy. For it to be a studio type unit, it was plenty big enough for my husband and myself. We loved the the restaurants, the sunsets, and the overall atmosphere. It was sad the "Red Tide" kept the dolphins away, but maybe we can visit again and see them. The location of the resort is perfect for exploring Sarasota, St Pete, and Treasure Island. We even made our way to Clearwater. So, we were on the go. The onsite pools were nice for a relaxing evening dip after a hot sweaty day of exploring. We ran into a small plumbing issue which the owners immediately took care of, and the on site laundry was temporarily out of order (not the owners fault). Overall, we loved the "little harbor" and would highly recommend this vacation spot.

Nice resort
The property is clean, comfortable and has great restaurants. If your looking for a beach and ocean experience you will need to drive 45 minutes away. If you are boating this place is perfect. The view is great and the resort is quiet and peaceful.

Classy and comftorable
Very classy clean and comfortable - I don't think I've ever slept so good either. Can't beat it for the price. The veiw was pretty too. The pool and beach was closed most of our stay but that has nothing to do with the room. As for the room it was great
