Nice pool great restaurants and easy beautiful scenery! We could walk to any of our destinations at Little Harbor. The only negative is the condo is very small and we did get tired of being in such a small space. Otherwise, great time! ##### Pam B.

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. ##### Ivonne C.

There is no nothing as they said or anything that’s really Close picture onlines the closed beach is 45 minutes away from this area. The shop is almost 20 minutes 30 minutes from this area the place in the middle of nowhere there is nothing really excited in the place to stay in absolutely nothing. ##### Safwat B.

Apr 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Kristin M.

Only had 2 grills outside to use.Outside porch light stays on all night and the curtains are thin and the room stays lit up all night. Was very difficult to sleep in the bright room at night.Views out the room was beautiful. Overall peaceful place to stay. Have to drive off property for miles to find shopping or convenience stores.On-site restaurants are expensive. ##### Angela H. Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### jeff b. May 6, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Decent room for the price 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. ##### jeff b.

Jun 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ruskin Trip 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!!! ##### Kristen M. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bernardo L. Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### What To Know About Our Trip 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. ##### Bernardo L. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren H. Oct 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Lauren H. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharon M. Mar 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### 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. ##### Sharon M. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### James T.

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. ##### Ivonne C. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mailen R.
