While you're here, don't miss the local gem, the Fish House, open three days a week and beloved by the locals. For your convenience, we've compiled a list of nearby restaurants in the room, so you'll always have a great place to enjoy a meal after golfing, visiting the parks, or shopping at the Premium Outlet Mall.

Inside your room, you'll find all the comforts of home. The kitchenette is equipped with a fridge, microwave, portable double burner stove, toaster oven, and a blender – perfect for crafting your own frozen concoctions. We provide dishes, pots, pans, and utensils, giving you the freedom to heat up leftovers or prepare your meals if you desire. We've also included two Tommy Bahama beach chairs, so you can relax on the private beach or the sundeck while watching the sunset with your freshly made drink.

Make the most of your stay by taking a kayak out on the bay, where you might be pleasantly surprised by dolphins, manatees, or stingrays dropping by to say hello.

Welcome to paradise – we hope your experience here is as enchanting as ours!

About the host

Hosted by Christine Lucenti

Host profile image
I live here in Florida and I work as an Association Manager, I love to travel when I can, when I am not working I enjoy taking a ride on the boat, going scuba diving or going for long drives to place I have never been and exploring Florida and all it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

I love the tropics, which is probably the main reason I live here. Most of my travels are to the Caribbean. I have been lucky enough to have visited places such as Costa Rica, Mexico, The Dominican Republic, Bahamas, Jamaica, Aruba just to name a few, what I love about the Little Harbour Island Resort at Mariner’s Club Bahia Beach is that it reminds me of all the things I love and enjoy about the tropical places I have visited. So I decided to purchase a unit, not really for a rental property but for my own personal use and enjoyment as a vacation home. I stay there as much as we can, but when i cannot not use it myself, I feel that I should allow other to enjoy this tropical escape. While I am there, I also love going to the parks, Bush Gardens, Sea World and Universal, so its easy to drive to them from the resort. If you like tropical getaways and feeling like you’re on “Island time” I am positive that you’re going to love it here as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

In our condotel my will find all the amenities of home and the luxury of begin on vacation. We have two queen beds, enough room to sleep four. In the kitchen we have a two burner portable stove, as well as pots, pans dishes, etc. in addition to a microwave and toaster oven, sometimes you just want to heat up your left-overs. For those of you who like to make your own frozen concoctions, we have a blender. We have a 46' flat scree TV and Blu-ray player preloaded with free unlimited Netflix and Pandora radio, as well as cable with all the premium channels. We have for your convenience two Tommy Bahama Beach chairs, for your use when visiting, use them to sit on the sun deck and watch the sun rise in the a.m. and then go back in the evening and watch it set. There is water all around you, you can take a dip in the pool, swim at the private beach, sit in the hot tub and have all your troubles swept away. Or if you’d rather be adventuress you can go on a boat ride from the marina, or go to an amusement park, it just a short distance to Bush Gardens, and Disney. Then end your day by having drinks at the tiki bar where there is always a drink special going on then take a seat by the bonfire on the beach before you turn in for the night. You can do so much or you can do nothing at all, it's all up to you and how you wish to spend your vacation!
