Little Harbor

Little Harbor is a beautiful resort with 2 Marinas, 2 restaurants, beach, and pools. From the 2 decks in back of the unit you can watch the manatees and dolphins. The location is close to Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater. Carmen the property manager was super to work with.

Bathtub, not a walk in shower.

The bathtub has a height of 2 feet or more to climb into, not ideal for anyone elderly or with bad joints. The bathtub also backed up quickly and had a hard time draining. It has a very private balcony and was nice to watch the birds and the manatees.

Nice property!

We had a good trip. We enjoyed the house. It had balconies from each bedroom and the living room. The pool was right by the river. The beach had beautiful sand. The water was icky due to red tide ( no fault of the property owners or manager). The overall view of the bay was beautiful as was the sunset! If you are coffee drinkers I would bring your own cup or get disposable hot cups as there is only one coffee cup. Overall it was a great experience!

Would of been great if it hadn't been for pandemic

We planned this vacation back in June of 2019. It was our last family trip with our son who is leaving for the navy in the fall. We debated about coming not knowing if anything would be open but we had hoped since they had a private beach and pool we would be okay. Unfortunately everything closed. If it had remained open this place would of been great. Couple complaints: We had planned to stay for 3 weeks, The condo did not provide much in the way of cleaning supplies so I had to buy everything. The kitchen was minimally stocked, had to buy a few things like measuring cups, and baking pans. I would of also thought being there for 3 weeks more paper products would of been supplied but they weren't. Beds could use an upgrade, and the shower head as well. A couple of beach chairs would be a nice addition if you're able to go to the beach. Communication with the manager could be frustrating at times. I would go a day or more before a reply at some points. Positives: Great community, the balcony over looking the mangroves was awesome. We watched the manatee play everyday, beach was great if we had been able to utilize it more than 1 1/2 days. It was nice to have 2 restaurants on the property even if it was just for take out. The property itself was clean, loved the 3 balconies and the option of a garage. Overall if this stupid pandemic hadn't hit we would of had a great vacation.

Would of been great If it hadn't been for Covid but was very bare bones

We had planned this trip last June to be our last as a family before my son ships off for the Navy in September. We had debated going not knowing if beaches or pools would be open due to covid but figured it was all private so didn't think they would close. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Not the managers fault at all. I will say booking this property was a hot mess. I had changed our dates to arrive a day early and it totally screwed up everything. At one point I wondered if the booking agent was legit because I was sent to a different place to process a payment. and the manager definitely lacked the proper communication in my opinion. She would only communicate through text and maybe email and that was sketchy at times. The booking was such a mess at one point I asked to speak to her personally and she would not answer her phone. I understand text and email complete a trail but it is what made me wonder if I had booked a scam. She did however help us check in a day even earlier than our original change which was great. We loved the area and property. From the minute we walked in our favorite thing to do was watch the manatee play from the back balcony. Some things that could use some help: The beds in both rooms were very hard. They could use an upgrade, The shower head was awful, that def needs replacing. We had booked 3 weeks and when we arrived we had no cleaning products. I had to buy everything including a broom. Trying to get these things during the pandemic was fun. Days after we went into the garage and did find a broom but too late by then. The kitchen was bare bones. I had to buy a baking pan and measuring cups. And some beach chairs would be nice for those able to use the beach. Outside the Little Harbor area was pretty bleak. Grocery shopping was pretty close but there was not much else going on close by except the little red trailer on the way to Little harbor that did Bar B Que was great FYI. Pluses: the area had 2 restaurants which would of been very convenient, saw dolphins, could of rented boats or gone on cruises, great area to walk, neighbors seemed nice and a lot of younger families amongst the retired which was great.. We wish we could of enjoyed it in its full capacity. Overall I would recommend this area and property, but I would also recommend the manager work on communication.

We really enjoyed our experience at this property. Manatees playing in the morning. Canโ€™t get better

Plenty of room for our family. We were grateful for the pet friendly option. Unfortunately, it had a smell that a dog was there and the carpets were a bit loved. We loved the private beach and the restaurants here too.

Our stay

The condo was nice. Little Harbor is nice but unfortunately its not " black people" friendly. Ruskin fl. Is not for blacks. We were pointed out as soon as we hopped on a golf cart. Did i mention it was by a cop? Smh.... Also everything shuts down at 10p.m.. Too much to type about the situation but very uncomfortable outside of the condo. But it is a nice looking place.

Great Value for a Posh Place

Comfortable, well-appointed townhouse with nice garage. Manatees frolicking beneath second-story porch. Beach, marina, and two restaurants in easy walking distance. Safe, quiet resort away from crowded shopping.

Great property!

Beautiful property. When we first got there the tv and internet werenโ€™t working. The owners responded immediately and gave us an upgraded property at no additional cost to us. We also asked for early check in which they were able to accommodate. Renting the golf cart was super easy and Iโ€™m so glad we spent the extra money on it!

Perfect Vacation

The property was beautiful. The garage was a nice addition. We had also rented a golf cart for the week which was well worth the money to go back and forth to the beach and fishing pier. The fishing was slow at times but in Virginia you have to take a charter to catch the fish we were catching right off the pier. Having a kitchen so Mom could cook her son who is in the Coast Guard home cooked meals was a hit. The only issue we had is that the reward card that we tried to use was out dated and some of the places wouldn't accept it and the menus were out of date. The bed in the master was wobbly and very uncomfortable. But we couldn't have been more happy with our vacation. Relaxing and the owner was very helpful because we had to be moved before we arrived to a different condo. Thank You Harbor View you have created countless memories.

Beautiful beach, cozy condo

Would have been absolutely perfect if the description had showed that I had to go 1 flight up to the front door. My parents are both over 65 and didnโ€™t like all the climbing up and down. Location was perfect, walking distance to beach was perfect. Kitchen was great to have meals at home.
