The property itself was very nice. The drawback was the private beach was closed. That should have been communicated before the trip since it was one of the main decisons on staying at that property. Other than that, it was very enjoyable and peaceful.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the property and found your stay peaceful and relaxing. We understand the disappointment of arriving to find the beach temporarily closed, especially when beach access was an important part of your plans. Because water access is regulated by the Florida Department of Health, closures can occur when water quality concerns arise and are outside the control of the resort, homeowner, or our team. We do include this information in the property listing so guests are aware that access can be restricted by the state. We’re sorry the timing affected your stay, and we appreciate your understanding. We’re very glad the rest of your visit was enjoyable and hope to welcome you back under sunnier, beach-open circumstances.

Week with Family

Property is well maintained with great water views and lots of space. We very much appreciated the beach towels available. Visiting in July the only thing we wished we had were some fans to keep air moving. Overall a wonderful stay.

An oasis in ruskin

We have stayed here twice due to its location and value. Though we had issues with towels,clothes hangers, dirty act vents and a vacuum that was completely clogged, thdmanagement and their response to issues was excellent. Wish they would have listed the fact that the beach was closed for most of the year in their description

After reading the older reviews and not seeing many more current ones, I was a bit nervous about this one, but I’m glad I gave it a try and I’d love to stay again. This townhouse is one of the closest units of its kind to the hot tub/pool/restaurants/beach. Our kids enjoyed the beach and shell searching while we watched them from the restaurant. All the bedrooms had smart TVs. Living room didn’t have a smart tv, but did have cable. The temp control was very comfortable, but was a bit warmer in the master which lacked a ceiling fan (but fans in the others). The front load washing machine/dryer seemed brand new, which was nice. The dishwasher needs an upgrade. I loved all the balconies, and watching the boats come and go. It could also use a helpful map print out somewhere to display the facilities/dumpsters. I wanted to give a detailed review for anyone contemplating. Bottom line: I really loved it here!

We’ll share the appliance and comfort feedback with the homeowner for their consideration, and our team will review how we can make property details even clearer for future guests.

Beautiful condo on the canal.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ruskin. Peaceful, dolphin watching , and walking on the beach. Only thing I can think of that I would change is I wish that there were more cooking utensils and serving /mixing bowls. That would be. So appreciated. Otherwise great stay

Pleasantly Surprised

Loved this place. The private beach had nice clear water, loved the convenience of the restaurant , enjoyed having water sports rentals, playgrounds, basketball courts, fishing pier and pool all in one place. The apartment was spacious and clean. Other guest and residents were polite. Sunsets were amazing , could see it from our room or walk to the pier for close up. Higly recommend. Thank you to the owners for making this place available for others to enjoy!

Not Bad

Nice furniture, appliances, and area. Carpets need cleaning, no wash rags, and all sliding door blinds need replacing due to missing pieces. Otherwise, not a bad place. Sunset Grille was a very good restaurant. Hook’s restaurant was ok. There are places to eat, a Walmart, and Dollar Store within 10 min.

Loved It!!

This unpretentious townhouse overlooking the canal turned out to be our favourite stay ever. From the comfortable master bed to the well-designed kitchen to the hours we spent on the balconies, regularly watching dolphins and manatees pass by, we just loved staying here. We used the swimming pool and gym most days. We had plenty of room to park both cars eith plenty of space nearby for any visitors to park. We appreciated the security patrols. We walked all around the community. To top it off we walked the hundred yards to watch the sunset from the bar or the beach almost every day. WE WILL BE BACK!!!

Thank you, Mark & Shawn, for your fantastic review of 615 Little Harbor! We're thrilled to hear that it has become your favorite stay ever. It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the comfortable master bed, the well-designed kitchen, and the beautiful views from the balconies. Watching dolphins and manatees must have been a magical experience! We're glad you made the most of the swimming pool and gym, and that parking was convenient for you and your visitors. It's great to hear that you felt secure with the patrols and enjoyed exploring the community. Watching the sunset from the bar or beach sounds like the perfect way to end each day. We can't wait to welcome you back for another memorable stay!

Nice and spacious

This was a great set up for my family. Rooms were nice and clean. Loved having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. We had a few hiccups with some maintenance that was addressed. It was confusing and unclear what items were available for rent—and the rental number was unavailable on our down day when we wanted to play tennis and try pickle ball. We were able to find shuffleboard and corn hole equipment. Pool was nice but water was pretty chilly. Overheard the heater has been broken for years—but I don’t recall it being marketed as a heated pool. This is more info for future renters.

Second visit, and we'll be back

Great place and great location to get away from everything. We stayed here about a year ago and enjoyed it enough to book a second stay at the same unit. Everything was great, but the property could use just a little upkeep. For example, our kitchen only had four mismatched drinking glasses and an odd assortment of plastic cups. Additionally, the screens on the sliding doors may not make it through the season. Finally, there's a small amount of grocery bags and papers left under one of the beds. That being said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We love this property, and we hope everything is just a bit updated when we get back for our next trip. Final note. Double check all of the windows and patio doors when you arrive. They are not easy to latch, and almost all of them were unlocked when we arrived.

Great Location

This is a lovely place within a short walking distance of a small private beach on the bay. It was roomy and the living room furniture was comfortable. There was a nice dinette set for 6 . Sleeping was ok. The king and queen bed were too hard for our liking but that could be personal preference. The kitchen was stocked with the basics for some light cooking. Though it could use 1 or 2 large bowls and some storage containers. The pools are nice. Our biggest complaint is that we had difficulty getting the front door to lock and unlock. It either needed new batteries or needed to be replaced. We definitely did not like that you could not test the door from the inside to see if it was locked or not because that would open it by design. Overall the stay was pleasant. The property manager responded to our email within a reasonable time. We loved walking down to the Sunset Grill on the beach each night for food and drinks. It was the perfect place to watch the sunset. They have good live music every night.

615 Little Harbor/ Bahia Beach Road

We loved the location of this unit! It was great having one bedroom on the main floor! The unit was exceptionally neat and clean! The kitchen was well supplied with utensils and dishes. The table and chairs on the back deck were so nice! We appreciated all the seating. We did find the vertical blinds to be in pretty rough shape. The bedroom with the twin beds had a totally broken set - they would not slide to close or open and they were missing several slates. The kitchen faucet had a slow leak. If you weren't watching it, it would flood your counter top. We did call to report it. We were told that someone would call us back but that did not happen. We did not have any washcloths when we arrived (despite what the towel count said). Hand towels were counted as beach towels. ??? We also did not have even a small amount of dish washing soap. I am sure this was just forgotten during cleaning. Overall, it was a nice place to stay for a few days. We loved that we could walk to the pool and didn't need to move our car! Thank you for sharing your place with us!
