Great for a family group!
It was exactly as it looked in the pictures! Having the laundry onsite (right outside the master bedroom) was extremely convenient after hot days at the beach! The porches were very relaxing! We really enjoyed our stay! We did not get to use any of the extras in the neighborhood (private beach, pools, etc...) due to being booked at other things, so I can't speak to the conditions of any of that. The only thing that might be concerning for anyone with very small children is the stairs to the second floor. It would be quite a tumble if they fell down them... Just an FYI!

Nice area but not a good property
This property is in a nice area and close to water. It's spacious as well with three decent size bedrooms. However, it is poorly managed and it feels like the owner just wants to make money off the property without making any effort to make sure guests have a comfortable stay:- On the day of our arrival, we were told that the washer & dryer is broken and won't be fixed during our stay; no help or compensation was offered to address the issue- A musty smell welcomes you when you enter the property and we couldn't get it out- The instructions for wifi were wrong and we couldn't connect to the internet; I mentioned to the property manager (iTrip Orlando) and nothing was done- one of the shower doors doesn't close- main bedroom has a huge open window with no covering- everything was bare minimum or was of poor quality e.g., towels, blankets; not even hand soap for any bathroomsI rarely write reviews for a property, but I had to write this one so that future guests know what they are getting into. Rest assured, I won't be staying in any property in the future that iTrip manages.

Townhouse at Little Harbor
It was very nice and clean.Master suite was on second floor as was the laundry. There were about 14 steps up to second floor. We just stayed in bedroom on first floor because of the steps. The dryer ran but did not heat. Property was located well and had 2 resturants near us. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful home in quite resort neighborhood
The home was simply gorgeous, with high end details and features like plantation shutters, large rooms, and comfortable furniture. It was nice to have ceiling fans in every room which helped to keep the home cool since you aren't allowed to set the AC below 71. Luckily it was not too humid the week I was there. The resort was well maintained, quite and I felt very safe being there alone. I love that the owners thought of little features like plenty of coat hangers, plates, and kitchenware. My only complaints are that the daily items that were stocked were minimal and cheap. It would have been nice to have better soaps, more trash bags and toilet paper! Also the private beach was rather disappointing but the condo was close enough to travel to St. Pete beach which was amazing. Also, in the welcome packet please give a location description of where the trash dumps are housed and where the club house and pool are located. I would have never found the pool if I hadn't messaged the renter to find out. Overall, it is a great property with a beautiful view of the harbor, very comfortable furniture and nice amenities!

Secluded paradise
Excellent floor plan. It was clean but the only incident that occurred was the shower curtain liners in the two bathrooms that have the shower/tub combination were dirty. I can't believe the cleaning crew did not replace the liners. After reaching out to the owner new liners were put up. We loved the 3 balconies and the views of the bay. There is minimal furniture in the bedrooms. The greatest disappointment was that the bedroom on the main floor does not have a TV. We loved our meals at the Sunset Grill . We would definitely return.

Everything we hoped!
We chose this property as a hub for the West Coast Florida locations we wanted to visit and couldn't be happier with our decision. The location of the unit within the Little Harbor Community was ideal for all of the amenities. We loved eating, listening to music and enjoying sunsets from the restaurant. Everyone played Tennis and Pickleball, used the gym and enjoyed two excursions from marina for fishing and dolphin watching. The unit itself was perfect for our party of 6 to rest and regroup personally between all of the fun. Thank you for the opportunity to stay!

There were 5 of us that stayed here, and we all enjoyed our 3 days at this townhouse. Everything was exactly how it was described, it was very clean, and the view was beautiful. The landscaping on the grounds were very maintained. My son loved swimming in the pool. The restaurants on the premises were convenient, but food not that great, and very pricey. We all had a great time and will be back!

Condo was great. The property however had some odd rules. Amenities closed at 8pm (pier, hot tub, pool, beach). Nothing to do with the rental but something to note. Condo was empty. No spices/seasoning, no plastic wrap/tin foil. Had to buy everything. Been to other places that have the "basics" which was a nice touch. Overall still a good experience and beautiful place.

A little slice of paradise, exactly as expected
We have visited this area in the past and we’re looking forward to return. It is a nice little community with two good restaurants on site so everything is walkable. My particular unit was pet friendly, so my little dog enjoyed as well. We definitely plan to return, and our host gave us clear check in instructions. It is a lovely spot on the Tampa Bay. So, although it is not on the gulf it is still a lovely beach area, and there is access to two pools.

This vacation rental was perfect! There was plenty of room for the 7 of us. The condo’s kitchen was fully stocked (with quality cooking supplies) and rest of the place had plenty of linens for the beds and bathrooms. Keeping the condo clean, from sand being tracked in, was super easy thanks to the floors being some kind of hard vinyl planking. Dan was extremely responsive leading up to our vacation (we didn’t need anything from him once we got there) and the check in process was a breeze. We will absolutely stay here again!
