Guest Reviews:

This was the perfect place for our stay. The condo was immaculate and had everything that was listed in the ad. Back porches are perfect for watching the sunrise and has a great view of the marina. There are two great restaurants in site as well. We did some events in Tampa and went to Siesta Key and both were within an hour drive. I'd recommend this place to anyone! Alvin F.

Came down for my fathers funeral and this place was perfect for the family to be able to stay together. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We felt like home if only for a short while. Brian O.

We have enjoyed our stay and the accommodations. The unit is furnished nicely and the kitchen had all of our basic needs for preparing meals. It is enjoyable to sit on the rear balconies and enjoy the peaceful environment. The restaurant on grounds has good food and it’s an easy walk there as well as to the little beach area. Daily walks became a part of my daily routine, We had a couple of things that needed attention -eg- smoke detector deciding it needed a replacement battery in the middle of the night. Maintenance responded to our concerns and everything was quickly resolved. Good customer service and communication! It’s definitely a big “Thumbs Up” for the unit and for our stay. Marilyn H.

We love this condo. Very nicely decorated. Very comfortable. The 4 decks have great views. Found some electrical outlets not working and they fixed the problem very quickly. Wish there was a little more to do within walking distance. The community and restaurants are very nice. Unfortunately it is super hot so far which puts a damper on some activities. Lyn H.

My family and I traveled to Florida for a family birthday. We had never stayed and Little Harbor before, and we were very impressed with the property. Our unit was very clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated/furnished. The rugs looked brand new and helped us to feel safe with our little ones traveling up and down stairs. We loved being able to enjoy the four different balconies. The bunk beds were perfect for my young family. We were very sad to leave and are already talking about wanting to book this unit for our next visit! Amanda M.

This is a beautiful home. The cleaning staff does an excellent job also of getting it ready for us. The spare bedroom has twin bunk beds. If you are sharing the house with any other than children that us a bit of a problem. The view is beautiful, the area is clean and the beach and pools are great. I would totally recommend this place. Earl W.

Check-in was easy, the house is very clean and nicely decorated. Plenty of space for my family of five . . . even a pull-out couch we weren't expecting. It would be helpful if there were a notebook with information about the resort, but we figured it out just roaming around. Decent amenities, restaurants and private beach . . . still more for us to explore. Will definitely consider staying here again! Cicely W.

Very friendly and easy process to book it. You’ll find everything needed to enjoy and relax during your vacation. (Edited for space) Marcelo K.

Our stay at 517 Little Harbor has been a relaxing one. This condo is close to amenities and within close driving distance of some of Florida’s most amazing beaches. The condo was well equipped for a one week stay. Thank you for the hospitality. Tara S.

Quiet and nicely decorated
Beautiful and quiet community hidden in Ruskin FL. 45 min from Tampa or St. Pete activities. The sunsets on property are postcard Gorgeous. The condo was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. Beds were super comfy. Plenty of towels, but bring your own shampoo, soap or body wash. Coffee pot in unit 517 is a Mr.Coffee drip style in case you were wondering. Worked great, but you need to have your own filters. Wasn't a fan of having to pay to park at the local restaurant (first 3 hrs are validated). But you can walk up the sidewalk no problem in this quiet and safe neighborhood. Will stay here again!

Balcony on the river
We had a great time. Love all the balconies. My only complaint was there was no place for two of the four adults to sleep. Bunkbeds are a little uncomfortable.

Very nice condo in a very nice area. Little Harbor is a fun place for beach, pool, and bars. Condo was spotless and exactly as advertised. Nice furnishings and comfy bed. Parking is the only problem and not the condo or beach bar’s fault. Had a great time!

Awesome stay
Great place! It was very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was there. We came down for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and needed a place since they didn't have enough room for us. This place was perfect. Great views, felt like home. Just wish our stay was longer. On a side note, my daughter left her stuffed fox animal there. Is there any way you could look for it? She has had this fox since she was about 4 years old. We will be happy to pay for shipping cost if it is found.

Great stay!
This place was perfect for me and my husband and 2 kids (4 and 7). The views of the river off the balcony made it a nice place to sit and relax, and having the private beach, a pool, and two restaurants right on property was great! There was also a fun dolphin/manatee boat cruise that you could buy tickets and join from right on property, plus fishing charters. The property management company did need to come make a small repair to the bunk beds, but they emailed and let me know when they were coming, so that was just fine. The only drawbacks overall: Ruskin is pretty isolated. There were restaurants nearby, but we ended up driving 45 min most days to go explore. It didn’t bother us, since we wanted to go to both Tampa and Siesta Key, but just a heads up that you will either be staying on site a lot (with plenty to do!) or driving quite a bit. Also, the walk to the restaurants/beach/pool is about 5-10 minutes. Again, we like to walk a lot on vacation, but definitely needed a stroller for our littlest and people with mobility issues may want to drive (there is parking over there). Would be great if the property company could have a beach wagon and some beach supplies (kids sand toys) available in the place, just to make it a little easier to get back and forth. Also a map to figure out where the pool is would be great. Some friendly neighbors helped us out there. Overall a great stay, and couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather!

Property had been recently painted. It was a decorated nicely. The kitchen cabinets need some TLC as there is some peeling happening with the covering applied to the outside. The peeling is only noticeable when you open the cabinets and look at the door edges. Closet door in master bedroom is color mismatched from the other doors.
