Local residents to the area. However, each July 4, we spend a short staycation for the wife's bday and the 4th at Little Harbor. We've stayed in 6+ different townhomes / condo locations on Bahia Beach Blvd. The accommodations at this location were the best we've encountered. Having the garage availability with games for the kids/adults was 5-star. This was used everyday by our family. Nice place to retreat for an adult beverage or two as well. The living area was clean and had everything we needed for the kitchen on hand. Just bring the ingredients to compile your food. The bed / bathroom in the master was great. The bed was firm and adequate airflow with the fans and a/c cranking. It can get stupid hot in July, so this was important. The other beds were nice and comfy as well. Overall, of course we will look to book here again. Rented a golf cart from an offsite company (SSCC). It's operated by a locally well known owner and located close to LH. Thank you Lindsey and family!!! The communication from the owner and the flexibility they had with us was 2nd to none. The owners even gave us a little unexpected surprise for the wife's bday... Can't beat an early checkin, when available... ;)

My husband and I stayed at Lindsey's fabulous unit for the month of November. Our grown children & grandchildren joined us for 2 of the weeks and the space was perfect for two sets of adults and the grand kids. We enjoyed watching the manatees during our morning coffee and throughout the day. The location was a perfect jumping off spot to Siesta Key, St. Petersburg and Tampa. The beach and pool are so relaxing and a short walk from the unit. The use of the golf cart was also appreciated! We took advantage of the tiki room and bbq as well. Lindsey is a super host who responds quickly to any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend this unit for long term stays!

Location: If you aren't a boater there really isn't much to do locally. Even the restaurants out side of the property are really just basic. There are a few gems out there to drive to. You really need to drive to see nice beaches, which we did do, 50 min. from Anna Marie Is., 50 min. away from Treasure Isl. I guess we were spoiled being able to be in the heart of a beach location, which this really was not as the beach was rather small, dark water and seaweed. There were no rentals such as jet skies as the sign indicates on the description of the site. Perhaps it was the time of year that we went. If you are truly looking for rest and relaxation this may just be for you. The sunsets when not cloudy are really worth seeing down by the beach area. I do not think this area sprays for bugs as other areas such as Clearwater and Indian Rocks does so beware of the bites. For the the townhouse itself it was nice & quaint, 3 bedrooms & baths were definitely a plus. One thing I would suggest is putting better pictures up of the rooms as it is hard to gage the size of the rooms by the close up pictures that are on the site. I did feel the main living space was pretty small. Another suggestion is to state that there are 2 flights of stairs in this townhouse, in case you have people joining you who have trouble doing stairs. Lindsey, the owner was very nice and accommodating. She even over-nighted beach towels to us when I could not find them.
