Great place for our family
This is my second stay at Little Harbor and we loved it! We saw manatees frolicking every morning in the mangrove trees while sipping coffee on the balcony. David was very professional and a responsive host, especially since we arrived shortly the duo of hurricanes hit the area so we had no idea what to expect. Still a lot of cleanup happening, but our place was perfect for our needs.

Travelled with group
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
David was very accommodating with our larger group of 11 people and facilitated an early check in and late check out for us, which we all really appreciate. While the property was clean, the condition of the property was average - some of the lights in the kitchen did not work and in one bedroom, we could not even turn on the lights. Additionally, we ran out of toilet paper, dish soap and dishwasher pods, and paper towels while we were there and had to purchase more. While we were there, we were under the impression that we would be able to walk to the beach and swim. Unfortunately, the beach was closed for swimming (it was more like a bay and it looked polluted) and more of a 15 minute walk. We enjoyed the amenities there like the pool and pickleball/tennis courts.

Great Rental
This rental was as described. It was clean and well appointed. We had a couple of small issues which the owner addressed immediately. He was very easy to reach and pleasant to deal with. The only negative was the beach and water. It was partly my fault because it is on the bay not the ocean and I knew that. Overall, a great place to stay. I would rent again.

It was a great property. I had planned for a reunion of my sons and myself however one son got COVID and had to cancel the other had a severe sinus infection and cancelled. Instead of nine people there it was only me and I spent most of my time with my oldest son in Valrico, Florida.

My car was locked in the garage when the code stopped working and i called the locksmith per the property's owner instruction. He said to tell him how much it was. I gave him a month to refund me and i send a reminder that was never answered.

Little Harbor
Very nice as advertised. Great Manatee viewing during mating season at least. Watch out for the parking cameras at the sunset grill. They willsend you a ticket for $85 even if you are lust dropping someone off. Super quiet on the water side. Convienent location and lots of water toys.

It worked better than expected, we really loved this place!
This process was easy, the pictures were accurate. Listing said 2800 Sq ft. I guess if you include the garage that was accurate enough. There were more amenities than listed as far as toys to use. The manatees were fantastic to watch, the Harbor walk in the AM was too awesome for words. The porpoises and dolphins feeding in the AM off the pier and the brief AM sighting and growl of the "big cat" (panther we think) going into the heavy brush (Old Shell Road was memorable.

Nice Place
If your looking for a family stay, it is a very nice and spacious unit. We were there for a sports tournament so we were on the road quite a bit. The owner was extremely nice and accommodating! The unit itself is lovely, but it should be noted how many stairs there are. I have rheumatoid arthritis so by the 3rd day it was a bit difficult. The decor was lovely and it is true about watching the manatees directly off the balcony! Thank you for a lovely stay. It was our first time using VRBO.

So glad I made the decision to stay at this VRBO. The home is amazing and comes with everything you would need in that area. We felt right at home as soon as we got there and we did not want to leave. The owner was very attentive and responded quickly to my inquiries. Perfect location and environment for a relaxing family vacation.
