Sunsets over the water are spectacular. Take them in by the Tiki bar with live music, from the pier, or at the onsite restaurant, Sunset Grill. You might even catch sight of a dolphin or manatee. This place is perfectly located between Tampa and Sarasota right on Tampa Bay. You'll enjoy access to a number of amenities including tennis courts, beach volleyball, 3 pools, 2 Jacuzzis, a Tiki Bar and more when you stay here!

If water sports are your thing, the resort offers a number of activities on-site including guided jet ski tours, kayaks, and paddle boating. After lounging at the beach, retreat to your air-conditioned LIVING SPACE. Curl up on the bed and enjoy your favorite shows on cable TV. In the early evening, step out onto the pier and enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful sunset. You can easily connect with friends and family back home, courtesy of the complimentary Wi-Fi. If you feel like venturing away from the resort, we suggest day trips to visit The Dali Museum, Busch Gardens, the Tampa Zoo, the Florida Aquarium, or The Alley, a bowling alley and arcade. If you want to dance the night away, we are just 30 minutes from Ybor City nightlife and South Howard neighborhood in Tampa. We also have children’s playground that is great for the little ones.

We had to wait 2 hours after check in to get in our room with no contact from owner everything else was good with amenities and surroundings were great
Wished it had a king bed and black out curtains and some info about the area restaurants, directions, menus. We are not very tech-savvy and would have appreciated a notebook with some basic info. The area needs some work! Holes in the ground, lots of clutter under trees, benches by the water falling apart. Still love the area, quiet and safe. We will be back and hope for some improvements! Jets on the hot tub never worked.
The suite was so cute and well set up, everything was provided: towels, sunscreen, kitchenware, etc. The property had a private beach, tiki bar and restaurant with gre at food. We enjoyed our fee days!
Great location, very clean facilities, Marilin was easily accessible on the phone when we needed to reach her. I highly recommend staying at this location.
This place was impressive. It had everything quick walk up the free beach and access to the free pool that also has a hot tub. Beautiful quiet location but convenient to everything we needed. Beach towels were provided which I appreciated so much! Thank you for such a sweet quiet place where we had the most memorable time and a lifetime experience. Thank you! Host were great and on top of everything!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Harbor in Ruskin. Our room was wonderful and the amenities and community of people were great! We look forward to staying again in "our room."
Our stay was great! The room was clean, fully stocked and had everything we needed for our five days. The decor was super cute and very welcoming. I highly recommend this property to anyone! Thanks for an amazing vacation.
Love this resort and this specific unit is very nice. Overall good experience and would book again, just not having any check in details until 2 hours before check in caused some stress.
Unit 105 is absolutely adorable! The kitchen had everything I needed for cooking, along with plenty of space to store my food, which made it feel like home. The decor and finishes were fresh and modern, creating a very welcoming atmosphere. I also felt very safe during my stay, and the sense of community in the area was a nice touch. It was the perfect blend of comfort and style, and I’d definitely stay again! Bringing the fam, next time!
