Don't want to miss the Sunset? Walk down to the Tiki Bar and Sunset Grille! Another great restaurant option with a full bar and Caribbean-American Cuisine. Want a memorable selfie?

Want to enjoy Tampa Bay but also visit Disney? Make the drive! It's worth it! Our homes are large and cozy for families, hard to find a deal like this near Disney. Many families book here and drive to Orlando. Here is a secret, Orlando doesn't have the nice beaches we have :) Stay here and drive to Disney for the day! That is the best way to get the best of both worlds! Tropical beach days and Mickey Mouse ears! After all, you already are in Florida! Make the best of it!

The unit was definitely large enough but it was outdated, smelled, dirty, especially the floor, shower head needed help. Lights over the sink area didn't work. The bed was low to the ground and uncomfortable. There were not enough supplies. It's unfortunate because it could be a nice unit in a pretty place.

everything we could have asked for. we know the area quite well and was perfect getaway to visit friends. had a few questions when arrived but Carnen answered them quickly. pool were amazing, restaurants close by was a big plus. AMAZING views of both sunrise and sunsets. seen dolphins and manatees in the river. only bad experience was the water pressure in the shower. had to put it on pulse to get any pressure. overall amazing place to stay. we'll be back for sure.

AMAZING

I've stayed at this resort before and it's always been a great place. Nice neighborhood. Nice amentities. The specific room i was in this time took all the cake. i mean comfy level on 100. loved the way it was decorated. Loved the specific location of the apt. To top it all off it had a double balcony. My only complaint is ever having to leave. A++

Relaxing at the Inn

The resort was everything that was advertised. Beach was clean and lovely. The hairdryer wasn't working, but a new one delivered in 2 hours. It would have nice if the ice machine was closer. The rooms were clean except for the floors. Our barefeet were black within a few minutes.

Hidden treasure.

Overall this property and surrounding area were great! The views were great and the grounds made you feel like you were at an all-inclusive. Walking distance to both restaurants, marina and pools. Did not feel crowded at all. Very fun and relaxing atmosphere! The apartment was well appointed. I would recommend a deep clean every 3-4 stays. Small issue with one fridge that was reported to the manager, along with the cleaning. She was very accommodating in taking care of these issues. I would definitely return to this condo. Directions when we arrived in Little Harbor were a bit confusing but the neighbors helped us out.

Visiting relatives.

It is a short drive from Little Harbor to our relatives. It is a nice place to stay with food available, beach, a place for morning or evening walks. Quiet and peaceful after hours. Our condo was very comfortable and very nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

Disappointing

The condo was clean enough, although the bathroom could use some dusting (front of cabinets, baseboards, top of mirror). The bedding was unacceptable. The sheets appeared to have been washed, but the comforter, shams, pillows, and extra blanket smelled strongly of dirty hair and body odor. They had obviously not been cleaned in a while. There were no pillow protectors. Instead of using the smelly bedding, I went to a discount store and purchased two pillows, a blanket and a fleece throw to use during our stay. The wi-fi doesn’t require a password, which leaves connected devices vulnerable to tampering. On the morning of our last day, the cleaner arrived at 9:00 am. I told her that I wasn’t ready, and that check-out is at 10, and she just said OK and left. I had to make several trips to the car with our belongings. She was sitting in her car by the stairway and stared at me each time I walked by. We were gone by 9:40 am.

Great room and location

The room was very spacious, well stocked and clean. It was walking distance to everything...the beach, pools, restaurants, even the ice machine. The host was very responsive and even allowed early check-in on my request. I would definitely stay here again!

4 day stay

We enjoyed our stay at Little Harbor. The resort was clean and beautiful. The condo we stayed in was well maintained, and nicely furnished. The only problem we had was with the microwave, the door would not open. We notified the owner so it can be fixed for the next guest. We look forward to future visits here.

A Diamond that need a little Polishing - With Beautiful Sunsets

Communication, check-in and check-out were very easy. Spacious living/dining/kitchen and Bedroom/Bath. Plenty of closet and cabinet space. A bit lacking in kitchen utensils, plates and only a few pieces of cookware. Bath towels were cheap hotel quality. Overall nice place. Convenient location to both restaurants, pools and the beach area.
