Daily dolphins and peaceful paddling!
We loved being by the waterside, watching dolphins fishing from our patio area! We too a couple of inflatable paddle boards and explored the local mangroves where we saw lots of fish? Manatees and stingrays. Some great bars and restaurants nearby with some food for vegetarians (but not much that was healthy!) still? We were on holiday and the paddling helped us burn calories!!Nice little gym too and we even took up pickleball during our stay.The accommodation was compact but perfectly fine for 10 day and two people.We really enjoyed our stay - thank you!

Saga of no door code
My wife and I rented a room to attend our friend's wedding. A few days before, I accessed the web site and asked for our check in instruction(s) and a "form letter" email informed me that another email with all our info would be forthcoming. That didn't happen. When we were on the property we are still trying to get someone to reply through the web site. We could not get access to the room so we had to get prepared for the wedding in the parking lot in the car. Suffice it to say my wife was not pleased. About an hour an a half later at the wedding reception I got the email with the door code. So, at least we got a night's sleep. The room was ok - towels, bathroom seemed clean. The wedding and friends were great but we were glad to be on our way home the next morning. Not the service I would expect for the $$$.

Good stay
My wife and I liked the room. Not many frills but parking was right outside our door and the water was right there as well. Had coffee with the local dolphin twice in three days. The room was very clean. The only downside was the location. It's fairly far off the path from most touristy things but we knew that before we booked.

Lacking
The location was great and the host Lorraine was exceptional. The only thing that bothered me was the lack of up to date technology. There was really no place to charge phones or laptops. I know there are lamps that have plug-ins in the base to charge devices. Other than that, we would definitely stay there again !

Inn at Little Harbor = location excellence
The location is awesome, the beach, the view. The room was not representative of the photos online which was noted on the website they may not be. Being an older unit, outlets are seriously limited and lighting and tv remote were not clear cut. The bath towels need updating. I let the property manager know and she was aware. If it were me, I would leave a supply of thick bath towels, hand towel and face cloths (say 2 per person).
