Guest Reviews:
This was the perfect place for our stay. The condo was immaculate and had everything that was listed in the ad. Back porches are perfect for watching the sunrise and has a great view of the marina. There are two great restaurants in site as well. We did some events in Tampa and went to Siesta Key and both were within an hour drive. I'd recommend this place to anyone! Alvin F.

We have enjoyed our stay and the accommodations. The unit is furnished nicely and the kitchen had all of our basic needs for preparing meals. It is enjoyable to sit on the rear balconies and enjoy the peaceful environment. The restaurant on grounds has good food and it’s an easy walk there as well as to the little beach area. Daily walks became a part of my daily routine, We had a couple of things that needed attention -eg- smoke detector deciding it needed a replacement battery in the middle of the night. Maintenance responded to our concerns and everything was quickly resolved. Good customer service and communication! It’s definitely a big “Thumbs Up” for the unit and for our stay. Marilyn H.

We love this condo. Very nicely decorated. Very comfortable. The 4 decks have great views. Found some electrical outlets not working and they fixed the problem very quickly. Wish there was a little more to do within walking distance. The community and restaurants are very nice. Unfortunately it is super hot so far which puts a damper on some activities. Lyn H.

My family and I traveled to Florida for a family birthday. We had never stayed and Little Harbor before, and we were very impressed with the property. Our unit was very clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated/furnished. The rugs looked brand new and helped us to feel safe with our little ones traveling up and down stairs. We loved being able to enjoy the four different balconies. The bunk beds were perfect for my young family. We were very sad to leave and are already talking about wanting to book this unit for our next visit! Amanda M.

This is a beautiful home. The cleaning staff does an excellent job also of getting it ready for us. The spare bedroom has twin bunk beds. If you are sharing the house with any other than children that us a bit of a problem. The view is beautiful, the area is clean and the beach and pools are great. I would totally recommend this place.

Very friendly and easy process to book it. You’ll find everything needed to enjoy and relax during your vacation. (Edited for space) Marcelo K.

Our stay at 517 Little Harbor has been a relaxing one. This condo is close to amenities and within close driving distance of some of Florida’s most amazing beaches. The condo was well-equipped for a one week stay.

Many things were not satisfactory. For starters you can’t lower the air conditioner below 73. Florida, in the summer! We don’t even have our air conditioner set at 73 at home why would I want to go on vacation to sweat. We had to purchase fans to make the bedrooms somewhat more comfortable to sleep. The master bathroom smelled like cat urine and carpeted areas smelled like animals. A few days into the stay a breaker flipped in the master bedroom causing us to have no electricity, so again sweating while trying to sleep and rest on vacation. It took longer than 12 hours to have someone come out and access the breaker box which was outside and locked. The beach area was closed due to bacteria in the water. I felt like that we should have been notified prior to our arrival.

Beautiful and quiet community hidden in Ruskin FL. 45 min from Tampa or St. Pete activities. The sunsets on property are postcard Gorgeous. The condo was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. Beds were super comfy. Plenty of towels, but bring your own shampoo, soap or body wash. Coffee pot in unit 517 is a Mr.Coffee drip style in case you were wondering. Worked great, but you need to have your own filters. Wasn't a fan of having to pay to park at the local restaurant (first 3 hrs are validated). But you can walk up the sidewalk no problem in this quiet and safe neighborhood. Will stay here again!

Check-in was easy, the house is very clean and nicely decorated. Plenty of space for my family of five . . . even a pull-out couch we weren't expecting. It would be helpful if there were a notebook with information about the resort, but we figured it out just roaming around. Decent amenities, restaurants and private beach . . . still more for us to explore. Will definitely consider staying here again!

We had a great time. Love all the balconies. My only complaint was there was no place for two of the four adults to sleep. Bunkbeds are a little uncomfortable.

Very nice condo in a very nice area. Little Harbor is a fun place for beach, pool, and bars. Condo was spotless and exactly as advertised. Nice furnishings and comfy bed. Parking is the only problem and not the condo or beach bar’s fault. Had a great time!
