About the host

Hosted by Lorraine

Host profile image
Hello and welcome to my VRBO listing of The Artful Nook. I moved from New York to the Tampa Bay Area in May 2019 and fell in love with Little Harbor. Luckily I was blessed to purchase two condos (The Blue Lagoon and The Artful Nook). I am happy to share this quaint seaside community with you. I welcome you as my guest, wish you an enjoyable stay, and invite you to come back again and again. It will always be my pleasure to host you.

Why they chose this property

Little Harbor is a unique community in Ruskin - the air, sea, wildlife, beautiful plants, trees and flowers are refreshing. There is so much to do in addition to relaxing in the peaceful air-conditioned comfort of The Blue Lagoon or The Artful Nook, or sitting on the patio enjoying the antics of dolphins playing in the channel. Little Harbor offers water sports, fishing, dinner cruises, swimming, kayaking, basketball, pickleball, corn-hole, tennis, gym-time, golfing at a nearby resort....and more. Sunrises and sunsets are beautiful and on-site restaurants offer good food and live entertainment. Little Harbor is magical.

What makes this property unique

The dolphin and manatee sightings in the inlet that runs from The Gulf of Mexico is an uplifting and magical experience. Little Harbor is also conveniently located. The property is within 45 minutes of Tampa International Airport as well as Busch Gardens. Other off-site attractions within reasonable driving times include Busch Gardens, The Tampa Zoo, Florida Aquarium, The Dali Museum, The Manatee Viewing Center, YBOR city, The Alley (for bowling).
