The house was beautiful and the host was great. We had a wonderful time. The only thing I would say was the pool times on the pool rules was conflicting it said 10pm but a rude security guard kicked is all out at 8:30pm. But other than that it was amazing

Such a great rental! We stayed a month and looked forward to seeing the manatee from our patio each day. Nice sized Master. Flooring upstairs was really nice. Plenty of space to spread out if traveling with couples or large family. We used the kayaks in the garage and had so much fun! Beach, pools, grounds are excellent. Already planning for next year!

Great place for our family

This is my second stay at Little Harbor and we loved it! We saw manatees frolicking every morning in the mangrove trees while sipping coffee on the balcony. David was very professional and a responsive host, especially since we arrived shortly the duo of hurricanes hit the area so we had no idea what to expect. Still a lot of cleanup happening, but our place was perfect for our needs.
