Newly remodeled and Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, in the Southshore area of Tampa Bay, this waterfront inn boasts beautiful views, a restaurant serving American-Caribbean fare and two pools to splash and swim in. Sunsets over the water are spectacular. Take them in by the Tiki bar with live music, from the pier, or at the onsite restaurant, Sunset Grill. You might even catch sight of a dolphin or manatee. This place is perfectly located between Tampa and Sarasota right on Tampa Bay. You'll enjoy access to a number of amenities including tennis courts, beach volleyball, 3 pools, 2 Jacuzzis, a Tiki Bar and more when you stay here! For an additional fee guests can access watersports activities, bike rentals. Hooks Restaurant offers poolside snacks, drinks and cocktails until 9:00PM. Go for a stroll through the tropical gardens or take a nap on the resort's private beach. If water sports are your thing, the resort offers a number of activities on-site including guided jet ski tours, kayaks, and paddle boating. After lounging at the beach, retreat to your air-conditioned LIVING SPACE. Curl up on the bed and enjoy your favorite shows on cable TV. In the early evening, step out onto the pier and enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful sunset. You can easily connect with friends and family back home, courtesy of the complimentary Wi-Fi.
If you feel like venturing away from the resort, we suggest day trips to visit The Dali Museum, Busch Gardens, the Tampa Zoo, the Florida Aquarium, or The Alley, a bowling alley and arcade. If you want to dance the night away, we are just 30 minutes from Ybor City nightlife and South Howard neighborhood in Tampa.
We also have children’s playground that is great for the little ones.
There's something here for everyone!
I look forward to booking with you and hope you enjoy your beach home away from home!

    It was a perfect little apt. Very clean and had everything we needed supplied. The resort area it is lovely and has enough options to keep you busy. It's not far from other activities and the host was lovely. Only down side I can give is a broken sink that stayed clogging all weekend. And there was a spider issue no fault of the owner at all it Florida and bugs are a given. However somehow at least 6 were found in the bed. We had to stipe and shake out beds. I would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be returning.

    This property at Little Harbor is right by the water where you may see dolphins and manatees! It’s a cute little beachy condo and it was super clean.

    Owner did not respond when asking which unit, took several calls texting and leaving voicemails before getting a response. Then the power went out early our first morning with no answer or call back to check the status, we were not sure if we needed to wait on someone to enter our room to fix which delayed our day. We ended up just leaving and hoping we had air when we got back.

    The area was lovely and the small private beach was perfect for our family. The two restaurants on property were excellent! The room was clean and had what we needed for our quick stay. The bath/shower set up is not ideal for people with small children who are unable to bathe themselves and there is a light outside the door that automatically turns on in the evening and is incredibly bright. The curtains are white and tan and do not block out the light at all. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the value was good, but the two things mentioned above were disappointing. I also reached out to the property owner three times with no response. I tried the app as well as the contact number provided at check-in. Communication should be improved.

    Gym, 2 pools, 2 restaurants all on property. So handy! Things are needed a little care in our room however, & the grounds. The pool heater in the lg pool was broken. The little one was not very clean. In our room, the couch really needs replacing badly! The cleaning could be better too black mold in shower on shower head. Throw rugs were NOT CLEAN , I put them under the bed. I was not about to use them. The. Outside chair cushions are all ripped w the stuffing coming out. Just needs a bit of spiffing up

    Loved the view with the water and dolphins. Bar and restaurant close by was wonderful. It was a small room but we didn’t go there to sit inside. Would have been even better if there were a couple of waters there for when we arrived and coffee pods for the morning. We didn’t arrive til late at night and having a few extra special things for guests would make it 5 stars.

    We enjoyed our stayed to certain extent, we also had stay here last year too. We weren’t happy with the sofa bed it is horrible PLEASE replace it. The couch is falling apart and horrible to sleep on. It also needs Black out curtains the lights are to bright coming from outside and hard to fall asleep. The bathroom shower head, the faucet the entire shower needs an upgrade. The shower curtains are holding on with plastic straps is just ridiculous. Upgrades will not cost you a lot but it will help you getting good reviews and happy clients. Also musty smell that didn’t go away. Hopefully we find it in better conditions next year.

    I've stayed at this motel a few times for business. Its main advantage is the location—very convenient for work, with beautiful water views on both the bay and river sides of the property. The highlight is definitely the two waterfront tiki bars and the on-site restaurant, which create a relaxing atmosphere after a long day.The rooms are all about the same size—clean but dated. Some have been updated, but others are still quite old. The bathrooms in particular leave a lot to be desired: they’re small, with outdated fixtures and an awkward shower design. You can’t turn on the water without getting wet at this particular room. Be prepared—this is more of a motel setup, not a full-service hotel. There’s no coffee or breakfast provided, so plan to bring your own or go out to eat.While the nightly rate seems low, there are additional fees (like cleaning, hosting and taxes) that add up quickly. Also, be aware that bookings are non-refundable. I originally booked for three nights but only needed two due to a change in plans—and unfortunately, I had to pay for all three.Overall, if it weren't for the view and the on-site tiki bars, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. But if location and a laid-back atmosphere are your priorities, it might be worth considering—with realistic expectations.

    I rate the location a 5, cleanliness of the apartment a 3, and communication with the owner a 0. At the time of this review, the apartment needed some TLC. It appeared to us that there is not much care in taking care of it. There was a musty smell, not overwhelming, but noticeable. Half a shower door was glued to the bathtub which made it hard to turn on the shower. Zip ties holding up a plastic shower curtain. The drain-stop in the sink was defective and needed to be taken out which was all rusted. The rest wasn't that bad, bed was comfortable, sheets were clean, no bed bugs, no roaches or rodents, etc. There was an ironing board but no iron. I tried to contact the owner on three separate occasions using three different methods and I never heard back. We ended up buying a small iron at the nearest Publix. That added an annoying inconvenience but at least we didn't have to run around with wrinkled clothes. I did not receive check out instructions but pretty much knew the drill, take out the trash and clean up the place. Not sure why the owner never contacted us back, but it would have been nice to get some sort of heads up.

The security light comes on at 7:00 at night and stays on till 7:30 a.m. no way to turn it off. So . Looks like the lights are on very hard to sleep! I'm a positive note.
