Explore with golf cart rentals, narrated eco‑tours, sunset cruises, or kayak adventures nearby. These activities are operated by our local vendors.

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.

Vacation

Pictures were different than what was in the townhouse but still very nice. The appliances and washer/dryer could use updating but still working. The unit was located in a very quiet location but kinda far from pool but we were able to rent a golf cart for our time which was so convenient instead of having to get in our vehicle. Overall nice place and would definitely come back easy check in and out

Don’t stay here. Unit wasn’t cleaned, dirty sheets, dishes, pet hair all over the house. Washer and dryer full of pet hair and mold. We did not feel safe especially during a COVID pandemic. Manager could not be reached throughout the stay, despite multiple calls /texts. Could not rent golf cart or grill because the manager would not respond to texts/messages. Even after checkout, no sign of her.

Roomy townhome

This was a reasonable rental for what we needed. It was less than an hour drive to the airport, Busch gardens and Anna Maria island. There was room to spread out- however if you are looking for a resort style vacation home this is not it. You could walk to the pool/restaurant area but it was much easier to drive. The hours were limited to only 2 a day and the pool closed at 6. I realize that Covid 19 changed a lot of things so this couldn’t be helped. The “beach” area is more for looking than swimming, but all in all it worked for what we needed since we didn’t spend much time there. There were not enough pillowcases, decent bath towels or even a kitchen cloth to wash dishes but we made do. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of dishes to use. The kitchen and baths were clean but there was still dog hair all over the sofa from I guess whoever stayed there previously.

Beautiful property

The owners have refurnished the home and recently painted. It is very beautiful, comfortable, and very clean. We felt right at home. The only issues we had were: the kitchen sink water didnt get hot which made it difficult to wash dishes, this was reported but not fixed while we were there; the parking pass and pool card were not there and took quite a few messages with the owner back and forth to get it when we finally did we weren't able to swim because it started raining and the other days were full with other activities; the check out time posted on the website says 11am but we received messages from the owner that we need to check out at 10am so the cleaners could come.
