A Real Jewel
We were celebrating the Fourth of July with family in the area and decided to give Little Harbor a try. Very glad we did, comfortable room all the amenities you would expect. The owners were very responsive and provided clear instructions for everything. We cannot say enough about the entire area, several pools close by, restaurants in walking distance and water views anywhere you look. It was just generally a peaceful and scenic location that we would love to visit again.

Mold issues
The property was nice. The major issue was a large amount of mold in the wall AC and vents. This can cause respiratory issues along with other problems. My husbad has Asthma and the property Manager knew we were staying at the unit while my husband was recovering from a major operation. We ony stayed at the property for an hour. After the discovery, we contacted the property mgmt and we left for obvious reasons. The manger told the host we stated there was dust coming out of the AC, which was a lie. After letting the Host know the truth and sending her pictures She refuses to refund our money or even offer an apology.

Remote, but area is nice
The price was low and the location was remote. If you like remote, this will work for you. Quite area. Couple of nice restaurants within the property. The unit needs some updating, cleaning is needed. Don’t expect perfection, but it wasn’t clean enough for me and my wife.otherwise, budget family on a trip, this would work nicely.

Ruskin Clean and Comfortable
The property was very clean and comfortable. It was close to the pool, the beach, and two restaurants. We especially enjoyed watching sunsets at the Sunset Grill. Warren was very pleasant and communicated very well. The only suggestion I would have would be to have some sort of blankets in the unit. There were only sheets on the beds, with no other covering, and we got chilly and had to go purchase a blanket. We would highly recommend this unit for a clean, quiet, relaxing, stay!

Perfect Creature Comforts
This was our first experience with VRBO. And it may sound silly, but once you're over 55 the little things matter more. Good quality towels and toilet paper ! We loved the layout. The bed was very comfortable. Ice cubes were ready when we arrived. Quiet peaceful area. Restaurants in walking distance. Loved our stay. We will definitely refer others. Beautiful location. Thank you very much.

Rented this condo to be close to our fishing charter. Close, as in 50 yards. It’s an old hotel that has been converted into condos. Perfect for what we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Warren, property manager

Host profile image
I am currently a teacher and my husband is retired.
I plan on retiring next year and look forward to spending some time with my grandson. We have 2 pugs, Maggie and Marley. They love people and are so friendly. Currently, we live in New York and enjoy our visits to Little Harbor.

Why they chose this property

We came down last year to Little Harbor and fell in love with the area and all its amenities. We decided to purchase a unit so we can come down any time and share with others. We talk about little Harbor as, "the hidden gem," to everyone.

What makes this property unique

Little Harbor has a private beach to spend the day just relaxing and having lunch at either one of the waterfront restaurants. There are sport courts and if there are children, they can enjoy the playground area. For those who enjoy fishing, there is a 250 ft. fishing pier or perhaps charter a fishing boat for some serious fishing. With two pools and a spa, there is something for everyone. You can take an early morning walk around the resort for a little exercise while taking in the sites of the yacht harbor. In a short drive you can spend hours just shopping, going to the beautiful public beaches, and enjoy the rides and thrills at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Amusement Park. At night just sit on the balcony, enjoy the views and unwind. So much to do and see when you stay at Little Harbor!
