Disappointed about swimming in just pool. I wanted to swim in the bay..the owner was great.. didn't like the bugs when outside at night.

What can I say?? The photos do not do this amazing vacation condo justice! My best friend and I wanted a relaxing, yet exciting, vacation spot, and Claudia's condo was everything we hoped for and more! Walking and running on the beach each morning and drinking and dancing at the Sunset Grille each night provided the quiet and excitement we needed for an excellent time! Both the beach and the restaurant were minutes (minutes) from the condo! But the icing on the cake was the pool/hot tub that we literally lived in each evening! Talk about relaxing right before bed! The week we stayed was extremely hot, but Claudia's condo was just right! And, the view of the ocean from her condo was breathtaking, especially at sunset! We also went to Tampa, and it was not too far for a day trip! Finally, Claudia thought of everything, and I mean everything, you could ever want for an incredible beach experience! Kitchen and bathroom supplies were plentiful, and the bulletin board with instructions were so very informative! Both before and during our stay, Claudia was always available to answer any question we had, and she was always so pleasant and nice! I would highly recommend a stay at her beautiful home in Ruskin! We will definitely be back, and maybe I'll bring my husband!

This condo is a converted hotel with a small kitchen and bathroom. It also has EVERYTHING you need to enjoy your time at the beach and resort. Claudia is an excellent host and very responsive to needs. My time of refresh and renew was exactly what I needed. I will be back for sure!

The host was exceptional and so much better than dealing with a management company. The condo was clean and well supplied with everything one needs…and more. And so many options for activities in the Little Harbor complex. We hope to return next year.

Claudia’s condo was the perfect place for our young family to come and relax. Claudia made the process super simple and was very responsive to any questions we had, even offering suggestions on places to go and things to do. Parking is steps from the door making unpacking/packing very convenient. Accommodations were great and the beach chairs, toys, pickleball gear, etc were a bonus. The location was amazing too - just a short walk to pools, a hot tub, the beach, restaurants and courts. We were lucky and spotted dolphins while swimming in the pool. Quiet location with friendly neighbours, and only a short drive to grocery stores, Tampa and popular beaches. Would definitely come back!

Unit was exactly as advertised and was extremely clean with all the essentials provided which was so helpful. Claudia was easy to reach with any questions and quick with a response. Stunning view of the sunset right from the patio and two great bar/restaurants within a stone's throw. I don't have a bad thing to say about my stay.

We came to visit my mother who lives in assisted living in near by Sun City Center. This was an awesome alternative to staying in the hotels out on 674, it was the same price per night, more room, tons of amenities, and a beautiful location. Claudia went out of her way to contact me before arriving, and was super quick to answer some pre arrival questions. Thanks again, we will be back for sure!

Comfy bed, the unit was quiet and very well equipped.
My travel buddy enjoyed the quiet roads for walking around the complex.
Claudia was great to work with and quickly responded to my questions. Loved the 1st floor, so unpacking the car after a long trip was easy.
The unit is also close to the laundry area, pool/hot tub & fitness center.
This was my first time using VRBO, and it was a very positive experience.
We were very happy with this rental, and hope to visit again.

Excellent property!
We absolutely adored this location. Claudia seriously provided anything we needed! From beach chairs, toys, an umbrella, beach towels, a mesh beach bag to even a rolling cooler and cart. She was very accommodating with my toddler as well. She provided a pack n play for him to sleep in, and even bought 2 new mini crib sheets that were still in the box and had them ready in the condo for us when we got there. We had a late afternoon flight on the day we were to leave, and she extended the check out time for us. I would highly recommend this to anyone. The view was nice, the restaurants on the resort were great, and it was within driving distance to everything we wanted to do in Tampa and on Anna Maria Island. It was such a cute little oasis for us :) it's right next to a little playground which was great for our son as well. There is a pool, laundry, some vending, a nice pier, and a little beach all within walking distance. I'm missing it already and we've only been home a week! The condo was also very clean, had basically a full kitchen, and the fridge was stocked with cold water. All we really needed was our clothes. She provides shampoo, conditioner, soap, some sunscreen (we bought more) and many other things.

Amazing, Relaxing Vacation Getaway!
My husband and I loved our stay in Claudia’s condo! It was so relaxing! We spent half of our 2 weeks going to beaches in Siesta Key, Bradenton, Fort Desoto, Anna Marie and Clearwater. They are all between 45 minutes to an hour and a half away. The rest of the time we stayed right at Little Harbor and enjoyed the beach and pools! We met a few neighbors at the resort that we now consider friends. Our place was exactly as described and Claudia had extra supplies to start our vacation out, so we weren’t running to the store as soon as we got there and could relax. It was one of our favorite vacations and will definitely be back.

Perfect family getaway-I wish we had stayed longer!
Claudia was the best host we have ever dealt with and the property was exactly as described. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-equipped stay for your family, look no further. We traveled with two young children and were very happy with the accommodations and property. The beach, river, pools, and dock on the bay were all a short walk from the room. We saw a manatee, stingrays, and a dolphin right off of the dock. The condo has everything that you need to visit the beach, from sand toys to a cooler, children's floaties, chairs, and umbrellas. We drove into Tampa and Sarasota and both were easily accessible from the property. We wished that we had stayed longer and will certainly be back!

Girls Trip!
We had an excellent time in Ruskin! There were three of us, so we had plenty of room. We were there celebrating our birthdays, and Claudia pulled together a cake, balloons, flowers, and drinks for us! It was amazing! We loved being in walking distance of the pools, ocean, and restaurant/beachside bar. We even got to see dolphins while we were at the pool! Fantastic trip and we all can’t wait to come back!

Winter Getaway
Had a great time at Little Harbor Resort. Didn't have to leave the resort if we didn't want to. Had the beach, pool, things to do, and The Sunset Grille for waterfront dining. What more could you ask! Shopping was 5 minutes away.

Our Stay at Little Harbor
Claudia, the property manager was great! She went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed. The room had games, beach chairs, tennis equipment. and stocked water in the refrigerator. The room has a full size refrigerator! The room is cozy with the king bed that shares with the living room.

Exactly what we needed!
My wife and I needed a place in florida that would allow us to relax and still be close to family. Claudia’s property well surpassed what we were looking for. It was clean, in a beautiful environment. The property is in a community with a small private beach that provided access to various water sports, a harbor that provided fishing charters and two bars each with its own amazing view with good food and drinks. If we had any questions Claudia's response was always quick. We wanted for nothing and left with no regrets.

More than we ever expected
Little Harbor was truly more than we expected in a wonderful way. My husband, 2 children and I stayed for 5 days and the location was perfect. Every morning you wake up to the most gorgeous view of the water. The kids had the freedom to play at the playground and the basketball courts while we sat on the front porch of the condo and kept an eye on them. There was a bed for each kid which made things so much easier. We walked daily back and forth between the beach and the pool which was not only a very short walk but had a most beautiful view. Claudia was so helpful, courteous and went above and beyond to provide things in the condo to keep the littles busy as well as just incase you forgot anything types of things. We are so grateful for the experience.

Cute place
My wife & I had a great time. The place was cute. Appreciate that the host think ahead and had beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, beach towel etc on hand for their guests to use. The bathroom is fully stock of little knickknack. My wife like that a lot. We definitely would come back. Good place for family & couple who need to get away and rekend their love.
