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.



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.



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 Fl

Great Family home

We really enjoyed our time at this property. The beach and pool were great for the kids. The bunk beds were awesome. With 4 kids each one had their own bed. The house was comfortable for a family of 6. It was well stocked and a quiet respite from the hot Florida sun. The house was simplistic and minimalistic, which was great for busy kids (less to get broken) and honestly we spent most of our days out and about. It was a nice distance from Disney, Clearwater, and Anna Maria Island. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home!

Great stay so far!

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!

The unit was dirty the floors where disgusting had to clean before my grandson one years old could play on the floor, pulled up the rug in the living room, and there was about 2 inches of dirt underneath it. Couldn’t use the dishwasher because it smelled like something was burning the filter on the microwave was flashing. It needed to be replaced.Also someone may want to look at the lights some work some don’t and some flicker. It was a great location for us and the restaurant was amazing.

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.
