Family trip to Ruskin

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. My daughter has been staying in Ruskin (Going to school there) for 2 years now. We have stayed at different VRBO's in Little Harbor Resort over that time and we have determined that this was by far our nicest rental. We spent the morning and some evenings on the balcony watching the manatees playing in the water right by us.

Ruskin Mini Vacation

This was our first stay at a townhouse in this area. Usually we stay at hotels but wanted to have a different experience. We rented three units and all had a great time. Only problem was the cleanliness of the sheets and towels at this one unit. Luckily we had brought towels with us, but not sheets, pillow covers or comforters, so we had to deal with the not so clean comforter, pillow covers and sheets. We had a great time, so we will be back.

Peaceful getaway near the beach

We had a very enjoyable 28 day stay here. Nice views from both sides of the unit, manatees in the channel virtually every day. 7-8 minute walk to the beach and to both bars/restaurants on site. Beautiful sunsets most days! Many grocery shopping and dining options within a 15 minute drive.

Property Review

Our condo was clean and comfortable with nice views. While there are tennis and basketball courts, equipment is not provided. Communication with manager was very spotty prior to our arrival. It stated two pools were available - only one was and that one was unfortunately dirty. Be prepared to drive 45 minutes to get to beaches and attractions -- there is not much entertainment in close proximity.

Pleasant community. Good value

Quiet community. Great location. Cute restaurants on-site, easy access to beach. Conveniently located near off-site restaurants and grocery stores. Pet friendly! Front porch overlooks the gulf, back patio overlooks a mangrove/ channel and we saw manatees almost every day.

Clean, comfortable & perfect location for our needs.

This place worked out perfect for our needs, restaurants, beach & pools all within walking distance, was great to not have to constantly drive. Plenty of stores within short driving range. We enjoyed the kayaks offered at a very reasonable cost right on the beach. Several balconies at the house gave us beautiful outside views!
