Waking up to the dolphins

Our stay was almost perfect . The only thing missing was no TV’s on the second floor where both bedrooms where located. Waking up to seeing the dolphins through our bedroom balcony made up for the TV’s.

The Beach @ Tampa Bay

Very nice and functional townhouse. Comfortable living reasonably well equipped - we were first to occupy since renos and upgrades done - as more people use the unit more supplies will accumulate...spices, etc. Neighbours friendly and helpful with tourist like ideas. Beach & water are not comparable to the Gulf but still nice for sunning. Easy access to Tampa, St Petes and Clearwater as well as south to Sarasota. Circles Restaurant is first class (Apollo Beach). Main public pool is busy on weekends. Great for a winter break!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful waterfront townhouse! The views were absolutely stunning—we saw dolphins and manatees right from the property, and waking up to the sunrise on the balcony was unforgettable.The townhouse was perfect for our family of four (two adults and two kids), with plenty of space and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the onsite restaurants and pools, and watching the sunset on the beach each evening was a highlight.We did have a minor issue with one of the toilets, but Meagan was incredibly responsive and had a plumber out the same day—great communication and service.We would 100% recommend this place and would love to come back again!

Lovely

Condo was very clean and exactly as pictured. Well decorated, so cute, great views .Both sliding glass doors had broken locks and were on lockable. When reporting problem we were told that they did lock but if we were concerned used poles provided in closet . Dishwasher was not bolted into the counter and was difficult to get working because it would not latch. Minor maintenance issues but other than these Lovely

March at Little Harbor Estates

My wife and I spent March at Little Harbor Estates and enjoyed it’s views of the harbor and watching the boats going out and coming back along with the Dolphins playing in front of our balcony. The two bedroom townhome was nicely decorated and very well maintained. Had everything needed for an extended stay kitchen was well supplied with dishes and cookware. Only possible con would be if you have trouble with stairs as parking is on ground level with the main floor on the second level and bedrooms on third level. There are two restaurants both have good food and beach in 5 minute walking distance. We would definitely recommend Little Harbor Estates.

Peaceful, well-stocked condo!

Pictures really don't do this place justice! Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beach condo. We tried both on-site restaurants and can recommend, though we preferred the beach-side one with live music. We spent a whole day on the small, private beach and loved wading chest deep into the warm, quiet water. The beds were comfortable and everything we needed was available in the kitchen and bathrooms. Just a little over a 30 minute drive into downtown Tampa was perfect for our concert plans. The local area has several grocery stores within 5-15 minutes. I think the only thing not in the immediate area is actual shopping! Both big box and boutique stores are more than 20 minutes from there which wasn't a big deal for us, as we weren't there to shop, but could be an issue for someone who, say, forgot their bathing suit or even wanted to buy a souvenir. My favourite balcony was off the primary bedroom -- it had a similar view to the one off the living room downstairs but higher and more dramatic. Still, we spent many evenings sitting on the living room balcony and even caught some dolphin and manatee sightings! Individuals with limited mobility will want to strongly consider the number of stairs to both access the condo itself as well as to get from the main to upper level. We found that the interior staircase was also quite steep. Again, not an issue if not for someone with mobility concerns. Highly recommend this well-kept space!

Beautiful view

The property was great. Our favorite part was sitting on back balcony watching the boats go out and in all day long. We also were able to enjoy watching dolphins from that same balcony. The only thing we were disappointed in was that when we booked the VRBO the website showed that we would have access to the garage beneath the unit where we could enjoy 2 bikes, a beach cart and a BBQ, but once we arrived and contacted the owner she said that those things were no longer available......the website needs to be updated to reflect this change. Overall it was a wonderful stay

Proceed with Caution...

Upon entering, we found dirty kitchen counters, filthy stovetop, broken door lock on the patio door, door screens off track and leaned up against the patio doors, and someone's hair stuck to the shower wall. No supplies readily available to clean counters, so we had to go buy clorox wipes before putting away our things. I scrubbed at the stove top and was able to clean it somewhat, but the cleaners really need to come in with some cooktop cleaner and some elbow grease. We had 2 young children with us, so the non-locking door in the living room patio was a safety concern. At least it is on the 2nd floor so we didn't have to worry too much about someone coming in. Thankfully there is a washing machine, as we found a dirty bath towel midway thru the stack in the closet, making me wish I had washed all the towels before we used any of them. The fact that the unit had a washing machine and I was able to do our laundry before our trip home is actually the best thing I can say about this unit. The beds are terribly uncomfortable. And the upholstered headboard in the master is a turn off for cleanliness purposes. The unit advertises use of a beach cart, beach chairs, bicycles, and a grill. Upon arrival, I asked the host how to access these items and she stated they were unavailable due to "covid". As if somehow beach chairs, beach carts, and bicycles spread covid? Certainly not more than an upholstered sofa. This was never disclosed to us before our arrival. After the fact, seeing other more recent reviews, others were told these items are for winter renters only. Had we seen the recent reviews before arriving, we'd have cancelled. The sole reason we booked this unit was because of the beach chairs and cart. Anyone with kids knows it's a huge hassle to lug everything to the beach by hand. The only item we could get to was the grill, and to get to that you would have to walk around the entire apartment building to get to the back of the unit, with food, cooking supplies, etc, and then walk back around with everything again. Not worth it. The "resort" itself was somewhat disappointing as well. The pools are very old and dingy, the restaurants are as well, and the food and drinks are overpriced and adult beverages were weak. There are 2 small pools for multiple properties, and neither are walking distance to the unit, so you must drive. I'm almost out of space, so the town of Ruskin as a whole is gross, not very many choices for dining, and dont.shop alone.

Nice condo, but….

Condo was clean and nicely decorated, with labels on everything so you know exactly what to do. Rental agent wasn’t as nice when communicating with her regarding what was included and advertised on her listing. She was happy to take our money for our 7 day stay, but when questioned about how we access the garage for the bikes and the location of bbq, and things listed as included, she basically said bikes are in the shop and you can go rent them, and you are a “summer” renter, not winter renter and can’t access garage (which wasn’t specified in her listing that there is a difference), and she will never rent short term again. She didn’t even offer to pay for bike rentals. Maybe a class in customer service would help.

Our Sanctuary In Little Harbor Beach, Florida

I do not have enough words to describe how happy we were staying in the condo. Everything that we expected was far exceeded the minute we opened the door to this property. A fabulous welcome bag was also waiting for us. Super classy touch as far as we are concerned. Every surface in this condo was totally clean. All the furniture was comfortable as well as tasteful. None of the furniture was worn out, scratched or the fabrics less than perfect. We felt at home. The owners are every renter's dream. We received a welcoming email with reassurance that they would help in anyway possible if necessary. We had a few questions and within minutes Elaine answered with total satisfaction, including our inquires about local information. While we were there the television stopped working and needed replaced. Within hours we had a bigger and better television to enjoy. We consider ourselves particular in what is acceptable. We 100 percent would recommend this to all people who appreciate a clean, comfortable home away from home. I have yet to tell you the hours we spent on the balconies watching the boats come and go, the dolphins swimming by, a manatee or two lingering and pelicans fishing. The sunrises and sunsets were a daily enjoyment. Our vacation was a month with a private sanctuary. We will be going back time and time again to what we consider as a 5 star property. Sincerely, Elizabeth and William Washburn

Relaxing vacation

This condo was clean and we enjoyed the 4 decks, especially the 2 facing the water. Elaine was quick to respond whenever we emailed. We loved the grounds, walking areas, pool and beach. It was fun to see the boats coming and going and to watch the fishermen cleaning their catch. The 2 restaurants were good and we enjoyed the nightly music at the Sunset Restaurant.

The unit was spotless, very well kept and clean. Furniture was comfortable and decor was stylish. Living room and master bedroom overlook the bay with comfortable seating. Very scenic and peaceful. Spare bedroom had a balcony as well with comfortable seating. Ground floor outside back of garage has a seating area and large capacity gas grill for outdoor cooking. Kitchen has full amnesties for indoor cooking. Just across street from main lodge with swimming pool and full size gym available for use. And both are really nice. Two restaurants on the resort just a short walk away offer good food and drink, weekend entertainment, beach front with rentals available. Boat rentals and excursions available in the harbor as well. Off resort shopping nearby as well as other entertainment including nearby beaches and Busch Gardens just a short drive. We were very pleased with The Beach and plan to stay again on our next visit.

Adorable, clean townhouse!

My husband and I and our 2 sons enjoyed a 3 week stay at this property! Very clean, well maintained and is even labeled throughout - super organized! The unit is tastefully decorated and in a fantastic location - we watched the boats arrive and depart from the marina from our balconies, and even saw a couple dolphins and manatees! Our boys enjoyed fishing from the fishing dock next to the building, and everything, including the gym, pools, restaurants and beach were just a few minutes walk from the door step. Elaine was a great host, answering questions leading up to our stay and beyond! She made the townhome very welcoming for us - with even a little treat for the boys upon arrival! :)

Five stars

We stayed here for the month of March 2019. A lovely, cozy condo with a great view. We have stayed at Little Harbour before and enjoy all the amenities, pool, exercise room, onsite restaurant we can walk to, golf close by and easy access to St Petersburg & Tampa. The codo is well equipped and well maintained. There were a couple of maintenance items the owner is looking after. The owner was very responsive and answered our questions quickly. A lovely welcome package was waiting when we arrived. Getting into and leaving were seamless and stress less. I would recommend for small groups. The codo was perfect for the 2 of us. The first level is raised with the garage underneath and the bedrooms and main bathroom are on the third level, so probably not suitable for someone who cannot handle stairs. Thank you Elaine, we had a great time.
