Welcome to Little Harbor Beach Community — a laid‑back, waterfront paradise on Tampa Bay’s south shore. Enjoy our private beach perfect for swimming and sunbathing, two sparkling pools, a brand‑new pier (2025) with waterfront firepits, and a variety of sports courts including pickleball, tennis, shuffle board and basketball. 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. Enjoy fishing from the pier or canals (please follow posted rules — no cleaning or disposing of fish on site). Whether you’re here to soak up the sun, enjoy waterside dining, or explore all that Little Harbor has to offer, this home provides the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm.

Disclosure: Your rental rate includes access to community amenities at no extra charge. 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.
Check In & Maintenance Info
When you arrive, we suggest doing a quick walk through and letting us know right away if you spot anything that needs attention. If something urgent comes up, we’ll schedule our maintenance team or cleaning crew to come by. 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.
When you arrive, you’ll find a small starter supply waiting for you:
• 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom
• 1 roll of paper towels for the kitchen
• Dish soap, sponge, and hand soap
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.
Important Update for guests. We do our best to keep our listing updated. 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. G Simmons Conservation Park. This is specifically for Jet Ski Rentals and Kayaking. Jet Ski Rentals are done through a third party vendor and Kayaking is done through E. G Simmons or Latitude’s Guided Tour.

Nice area for family getaway

This condo from the online pictures meet our expectations of the layout and accommodations . Two out of three of the beds needs to be replaced. Would work for children, uncomfortable for adults. Refrigerator handle missing.

There aren’t enough words to describe the amazing accommodations and pet friendly community. The view of the mangrove from the balcony was perfectly relaxing. I will definitely be renting again!

Nice stay but needs some new furniture

We did enjoy our stay very much. The couch and chair are quite worn and too soft to comfortably sit on. The mattresses were also a bit soft for all of us. Aside from that everything else was great!

Good layout not super entertaining area unless you want to drive to St. Pete/Tampa or Sarasota

This rental was great for our family. 3 Bedroom and 3 bathrooms worked out perfect for the 3 married couples each having their own space and privacy. The town home/condo needed a few upgrades/fixes but overall what needed to be fixed was not detrimental to our stay. (Ex. Great large fridge but missing a fridge handle). This property is advertised as having a beach with different activities to rent out. Bahia Beach is tiny and crowded because it was so small and the rentals were not available due to Covid(understandable). We did drive to St. Pete, Treasure Island and Clearwater to go to the beach and that was about 45-60 min drive. The property manager was very unresponsive when I tried to contact her before and during the trip. And we had problems getting the code for check in due to the no responses. Thankfully she finally was able to answer after multiple and various types of attempts. Overall good stay we enjoyed the layout of rental and scenery of Little Harbor but would recommend staying closer to bigger towns if you plan on doing most activities in other towns.

Nice condo

Condo was nice , 3 bedroom and 3baths.. was farther away from things than we anticipated, private beach was to far to walk and had a warning about the water, unsafe bacteria levels. Check in was delayed 2 hrs because wasn't cleaned yet. Owners did give us small refund for delay but we planned our arrival time based on the check in time we were told.

Great stay

Great place to stay. Comfortable. The only thing I could add is that the unit was lacking just a few amenities. Not enough toilet paper, no dish soap, coffee filters, one extra garbage bag, etc. Other than that it was wonderful!
