Celebrated my bday here!

It was the perfect place to get away and have some time near the water. Beach is on the grounds as well as two restaurants that had awesome customer service and great food! The condo was in immaculate conditions and communication with the Host was very good.

We really enjoyed our stay at this bayside condo! The condo is located in the peaceful resort of Little Harbor with plenty of things to do on the property. We enjoyed playing shuffle board, corn hole, and pickle ball while on the property. The pool was nice to hang out by, very clean, although closed at dusk. Also wish the hot tub could have been hotter and the jets were stronger, however this is no fault of the owner. We loved watching the dolphins and had many close up encounters! Additionally, my husband enjoyed fishing and one of the local bait shops hooked him up with supplies. As for the inside of the condo it was very clean and as described. The bed was very comfortable, which made it easier to get some good nights of rest while there. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of supplies to use if staying in, including a hot top to cook with, and supplies to wash your dishes. There’s 2 restaurants located on the premises if you don’t want to go far, and many nearby stores as well. We had a great experience and would love to return in the future!

Great hidden resort

We stayed here while in town for a memorial service. Our studio suite had everything we needed...updated decor, and was extremely clean. The description on the website was precise. We saw dolphins while drinking coffee on the deck. Listened to live reggae music Sunday, while having a drink at the bar on the beach. This resort is definitely a hidden treasure in this town.

Very clean and comfortable.

The unit is the size of a hotel room. The kitchen is small but functional. Keurig coffee maker, etc there is a cooktop inside a drawer. But no oven. The bed is exceptionally comfortable king size memory foam. Beautiful view from the second floor balcony. We even saw a rocket launch from Cape canaveral. The couch is also comfortable good size television. Overall for the price point a wonderful stay.

Hidden Gem

This resort is a sweet spot in this area. We were in the area to celebrate a 90th birthday; we stayed at Little Harbor Resort. We were very happy with the unit; it was clean, roomy enough for 2 & the bed was very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the balcony which had a view of the water. Unfortunately we did not get a chance to enjoy the property as much as we would have liked-3 days of family events. Though we did have a nice dinner together at Sunset Grill. Sheron, the host, communicated with us regularly to make sure we were comfortable or had any questions. We would definitely stay here again so we could enjoy the property, especially the beach, & just spend time relaxing.

Mother's Day Retreat

I really enjoyed my stay. The room was quiet and tidy. I made good use of the outdoor pools and enjoyed the two restaurants only a few steps away from the room. The sunsets where stunning as were the sunrises from the balcony of the rental unit. I would definitely book again.

Perfect stay

We came down to see our son who lives nearby. This was the perfect location for us. Beautiful views, very clean, and probably the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in away from home. The owner touched base with us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Ideal for a couple

We spent 3 nights at this location and loved it! The suite has everything you need including a super comfortable bed and sofa. We enjoyed drinks from the balcony viewing the channel, watching pelicans and various birds. The area has much to offer. Lots of places to eat or enjoy a drink by the water. Thanks Sheron for a great stay!
