About this property

#303 A Luxury Resort at Little Harbor With Dolphins and Fishing Just Steps Away

This is an island -style getaway...
Completely refurbished. Privately owned, and privately managed.
Great waterfront view to wake up to. There are 2 pools, one heated, both overlooking the water. The beach, restaurants and tiki bar just steps away. Sit on the private patio and watch dolphins, just steps away from fishing out the front door or from the pier. Beautiful sunsets. Truly one of the most peaceful resorts that you will ever visit.

Little harbour studio apartment

Lovely resort. The 2 local restaurants are very good, and both have a huge selection of great beers. Spent most of our time on the private beach. It's a great place to chill for a few days. I had one problem with the freezer not being cold enough to store ice creams. The owner knows about that, and he's probably fixed it by now. Thank you Phil

Perfect Getaway

We love staying in Little Harbor. For us, it's not only convenient to our properties in Ruskin, but it has always been a great place to ride our bikes to the beach, have dinner at one of the 2 restaurants, or just sit by the inlet and watch the resident dolphins come in for their meals. We also enjoyed the Manatee and Pelicans and Osprey. The unit is spacious and has everything you need. It was also very clean.You will love your stay here!

Very happy with our stay!

The rental unit was lovely. There was a view of the water right from our first-floor window where dolphins swam by. The unit was clean and had all we needed, including a kitchenette. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful. He had all the information to us in advance. The area is quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this rental.

Wish We Upgraded

The property was fine, most of it was very well kept and very well decorated for the holidays located away from the hustle and bustle. Especially the condos up front in the complex. I looked at so many condos online and just missed how small this studio condo room was, how the furniture was arranged and how storage was being used. Will do better in the future by renting something larger, my fault. Also, it was our fault for not realizing we didn't have the host's phone number because the directions were totally confusing when we got towards the back of the complex. Our GPS got us in the general right direction but never saw a street sign for where the condo was. We didn't know where the guest service was to know where to turn right or left or that you had to turn right after the sports bar to find the pool side as the directions were written. There were 2 people in the guard house when we arrived, but they would not come out to talk to us. I know many people would love this place. It just wasn't to our liking. It didn't help to drive into the city itself. Trash all down Shell Road and a mattress and box springs thrown out along the road for over a week. If the city wants people to come back for return visits, they need to help out these nice complexes by picking things up better.

There was musty smell in the room that probably couldn't be helped we opened the door to the outside and tried to air it out. The location and amenities of the complex are what make this place wonderful. Pools are clean and well maintained the hot tub was great both restaurants are okay but so close that you can find something in each of them to dine on.

Hidden gem

My best friend and I stayed here over Labor Day weekend. We had the BEST time! This little property is a hidden gem with 2 pools within just feet, a bar/restaurant that serves food poolside, and another bar/restaurant that has live music. We both saw a dolphin and beautiful sunsets/sunrises. We loved being able to see the water right out the window! We will definitely be back! Thank you!
