Little Harbor is a beautiful resort with 2 Marinas, 2 restaurants, beach, and pools. From the 2 decks in back of the unit you can watch the manatees and dolphins. The location is close to Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater. Carmen the property manager was super to work with.

The bathtub has a height of 2 feet or more to climb into, not ideal for anyone elderly or with bad joints. The bathtub also backed up quickly and had a hard time draining. It has a very private balcony and was nice to watch the birds and the manatees.

We had a good trip. We enjoyed the house. It had balconies from each bedroom and the living room. The pool was right by the river. The beach had beautiful sand. The water was icky due to red tide ( no fault of the property owners or manager). The overall view of the bay was beautiful as was the sunset! If you are coffee drinkers I would bring your own cup or get disposable hot cups as there is only one coffee cup. Overall it was a great experience!

We had planned this trip last June to be our last as a family before my son ships off for the Navy in September. We had debated going not knowing if beaches or pools would be open due to covid but figured it was all private so didn't think they would close. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Not the managers fault at all. I will say booking this property was a hot mess. I had changed our dates to arrive a day early and it totally screwed up everything. At one point I wondered if the booking agent was legit because I was sent to a different place to process a payment. and the manager definitely lacked the proper communication in my opinion. She would only communicate through text and maybe email and that was sketchy at times. The booking was such a mess at one point I asked to speak to her personally and she would not answer her phone. I understand text and email complete a trail but it is what made me wonder if I had booked a scam. She did however help us check in a day even earlier than our original change which was great. We loved the area and property. From the minute we walked in our favorite thing to do was watch the manatee play from the back balcony. Some things that could use some help: The beds in both rooms were very hard. They could use an upgrade, The shower head was awful, that def needs replacing. We had booked 3 weeks and when we arrived we had no cleaning products. I had to buy everything including a broom. Trying to get these things during the pandemic was fun. Days after we went into the garage and did find a broom but too late by then. The kitchen was bare bones. I had to buy a baking pan and measuring cups. And some beach chairs would be nice for those able to use the beach. Outside the Little Harbor area was pretty bleak. Grocery shopping was pretty close but there was not much else going on close by except the little red trailer on the way to Little harbor that did Bar B Que was great FYI. Pluses: the area had 2 restaurants which would of been very convenient, saw dolphins, could of rented boats or gone on cruises, great area to walk, neighbors seemed nice and a lot of younger families amongst the retired which was great.. We wish we could of enjoyed it in its full capacity. Overall I would recommend this area and property, but I would also recommend the manager work on communication.
