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!

Very nice but some issues
There was no hot water in the shower. The knob would not turn enough to allow the water to get hot. The sofa mattress was extremely uncomfortable. Would suggest blackout curtains as the outside lights were very bright. An extra blanket would have been nice too. It was odd that there was only one shower door and it was immovable. Water got all over the floor. Also, the advertisement listed "Beach Studio Apartment" with a picture that insinuated you could step out your door and onto the beach. This was not the case. It was in fact on the intracoastal which was beautiful. The beach was within walking distance. Otherwise, the unit was clean and the area was very nice.

Perfect for myself, my husband and our 13yo son. 2 pools and 1 hot tub that you will have access to; all nice sizes. Security makes their presence known, so you feel very safe. Sunset Grill was great!! Didn’t eat at Hooks, but did get a couple drinks. All people we came into contact with were very friendly and helpful. Host was great! Shower was weird with only a half door, do water does get on floor. Easy enough to put a towel down and we moved the toilet paper to the little cabinet so it wouldn’t get wet. Also, there is only a mini fridge so be mindful of leftovers!! My only complaint is that it needs a small, full size fridge for drinks and whatnot! Oh! Also, if you are a coffee drinker, bring your own coffee pods!! Great little place!! Great little area!! Would definitely come back!!!

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.

Time well spent
Nice unit we enjoyed it. Only issue was the sofa bed was really uncomfortable to sleep on, I think is time to replace the couch. Also the bathroom sink stopper wasn’t able to raise up and down it needs to be replaced, water kept filling up. Also it will help to have curtains that block off the light from outside not so easy to fall asleep it feels really bright.

Surprised my husband with a quick, kid free wk end. We enjoyed watching the dolphins and manatees in the water. The restaurants and pools was a great added bonus. We had an absolutely great time. It was just what we both needed. We will definitely be back. Thanks, Marilin, for your quick responses. Your place was decorated well and very clean. Location was amazing too.

Perfect Getaway`
If you're seeking a low-maintenance escape, this is your spot. We loved both pools. The larger pool was heated, and the smaller pool was more secluded. We spotted dolphins multiple times in the nearby waterway. The private beach was awesome, and both restaurants were conveniently within walking distance. Although we didn't dine there, the prices seemed reasonable. The weekend nightlife at Sunset Grill and Beach Bar was lively! The only issue we encountered was a faulty outlet for the Keurig, easily resolved by relocating it. The fitness facility exceeded expectations, surpassing typical hotel gyms. The room was very clean, and we felt very safe as we frequently saw security. Definitely would go back.

Not The Most Convenient
The overall property was nice and our unit had nice waterfront with views of dolphins, pelicans and boats. The unit itself could’ve used a dresser or cabinet or even under bed drawers for clothes. Ironing board but no iron, had to push up the shower by putting finger inside faucet and pushing it up as shower knob was stripped. Only 1/2 shower panel so water leaked out on to floor and toilet paper holder always got wet so we ended up moving toilet paper. Bed was comfortable. Lots of time spent driving to beaches, restaurants and shopping. I couldn’t load vrbo app on my phone as it required iOS 16.0 or higher so I had no communication other than when we arrived we got a welcome email. I kept trying to communicate but I needed the app which I couldn’t download. There was no information binder in the room regarding what do we do upon checkout? Do we pull linens, empty trash, set the thermostat at a certain level etc etc.

WEEKEND GETAWAY
Needed a break from reality and stumbled upon Little Harbor in Ruskin FL. The apartment was perfect for two and we were able to walk to two pools, a hot tub, two bar/restaurant choices, a private beach and beautiful sunsets. Food and drinks cost more than expected, but it was only for the weekend so we managed.

Great Stay
First, all the good -- this property was SPOTLESS. Good location, great communication, and WELL worth the price. We would definately stay again if we are in the Tampa/Ruskin area. We enjoyed the Sunset Bar and Grill every night we were there and Hooks for the occasional lunch. The workout facility is fantastic and the deeper pool was wonderful. The jacuzzi is not heated and we heard that has been an ongoing issue -- but didn't really effect us. The shampoo dispenser did not work and the hair dryer really needs to be replaced. It is cracked and a fire hazard. Our only complaint: Please get blackout curtains. That light outside is as bright as day and your curtains are not sufficient to block it out. We duct taped a towel to the light to keep it from keeping us awake. Other than that, your place is great -- and you describe it well on the site -- it is NOT a traditional VRBO place -- it is a hotel room with some cooking options -- but we didn't go there to cook. Anyone who says it is not clean is nuts. Thank you!

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.
