Families will love the playground, arcade playroom, and pet owners will appreciate the dog run (select rentals are pet‑friendly).

Stay active at the fitness center with its scenic upstairs terrace, or relax at one of our two onsite waterfront restaurants — Sunset Bar & Grill for tiki‑style beach dining and Hooks Waterfront Bar & Grill for American favorites with canal views. Explore with golf cart rentals, narrated eco‑tours, sunset cruises, or kayak adventures nearby. These activities are operated by our local vendors. Whether you’re here for sunsets, seafood, or simply a slower pace, Little Harbor offers the perfect blend of Florida charm and coastal fun.

Located near all community amenities, you can easily walk or drive to the pools, private beach, pier, sports courts, fitness center, and arcade playroom. Free parking zones are available for the beach and amenities — be sure to park in the correct lot to avoid pay to park tickets. Guests receive a pool pass and parking pass; additional passes are available upon request.

The pools close at sunset and reopen each morning, with the water heated in winter. Restaurants open daily at 11am, and community amenities operate year round, unless closed for maintenance or renovations.

Third‑party vendors (such as tour operators, kayak rentals, or golf cart rentals) are independent and not affiliated with this home. While amenities are available for your enjoyment, we cannot guarantee they will be open at all times, as closures
may occur due to maintenance, repairs, or natural events such as storms. No refunds or discounts are provided for any amenity closures or availability issues. The rental of our property and the cost of the property is 100% cost of rental space being used not for amenities. Use of amenities is 100% complimentary, no additional fees added.

If you’re not home during the scheduled time, please be sure to give us permission to enter so we can take care of it for you.

We do not offer reimbursements for inconveniences. Instead, we’ll work quickly to offer solutions — such as sending maintenance or cleaners, or in some cases, moving you to another property. Non urgent items can be noted and will be handled after your stay unless you’d like them addressed sooner.
Things to Know Before You Book
We don’t provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, detergent, salt, pepper, or cooking oils — so please bring your favorites. For sanitary reasons, we can’t store food products.

Pack what you’ll need for the rest of your stay, and you’ll be all set for a great trip!


New***PAY-TO-PARK for the beach only. You get free parking in the community parking spaces which are a short 2 minute walk from the beach! So it is best to leave your car in the free parking space and walk down to save $$ ;) Golf carts park for free at the beach.

But in case there is conflicting information anywhere on our listing we want to clarify that currently all water sport activities are now located 3.6 miles away from our community at E.

Christmas Vacation

We enjoyed our time at this property. It was clean, great views, and pretty convenient to a lot of things. We were able to watch dolphins and manatees from our balcony almost daily and experienced them right at the dock just down from our condo. We used Doordash a couple of times and had no problem with the delivery person finding us. The local people in the harbor are very friendly. The town of Ruskin that you have to drive through to get to Little Harbor could use some fixing up and I think they are trying to do so, but Little Harbor is a beautiful place. We would definitely stay again!
