Florida get away

Love to stay at Little Harbor and visit family in the Tampa area. Also Happy Gospel church in Bradenton is part of our church -Family Worship center in Baton Rouge. Awesome Pastor down there. Little Harbor has plenty of room to roam and while the pier got damaged from the hurricanes it is being repaired and also they are installing lights for nighttime use of the tennis cats.

Very nice condo. Amanda quick to respond. It was right after hurricane so the pools were not open. However we have family in Florida and they have pools. Restaurants near by and food was delish! Thank you Amanda for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!

Great Stay. Came down to visit Son and Family to meet new Grandson. Everything was perfect. Left the day before the storm. Son's property (2 miles inland) was fine and no damage. I hope the condo fared as well. Thanks Amanda!

Little Harbor

The location is very nice. The layout of the condo is nice; however, I was disappointed with the lack of cleanliness. There were crumbs and peanuts left on the carpet, as well as an opened safety pin (OUCH). The beach area is covered in seaweed right now and during our stay we witnessed police officers and sheriff's surround an apartment at the inn looking for a wanted criminal (a bit scary).

Great beach vacation

This two story condo had plenty of room and was well stocked for cooking, laundry, etc. Beautiful balcony views and lots of activities to choose from (beach, pool, kayaks). A short drive away was EG Simmons Park that we also enjoyed for a second beach location.

Excellent Accommodations!

We enjoyed our stay at this comfortable Bungalow! The location was perfect and our group of 5 enjoyed the four different balconies to sit and relax. My sister and niece especially loved having use of the kayaks. They spent an afternoon kayaking behind the condos alongside a friendly dolphin. Also, there were beach chairs and beach towels available for our visit to the beach. The owner was very professional and responsive whenever we had questions. One piece of information that may be helpful is that there are steps to get into the condo, and then a flight of steps to get up to the bedrooms. The older ones in our group were huffing and puffing a few times, but we all had a lovely time. : ) Thank you, Amanda, for allowing us to stay in your home!

We would certainly go back again. It was nice that they provided so many snacks/drinks for us when we arrived. One improvement would be a full-size ironing board. Very responsive to our communications. Maybe next time I'll actually get out on the kayak!

Great amenities but even better hosts! Everything was spotless. Awesome area for a mini family vacation The instructions were clear and they even had beach toys and kayaks for us to use.

About the host

Host profile image
God gave us this life, it's our job to live it! Boy mom, Florida resident, Michigan native (Go Blue!). Always up for new adventures and think it's the little extras people do to show they care that really make a difference. Sometimes it's tricky traveling with children so I'll go out of my way to make sure this vacation is as relaxing as possible. (Minus coming over to put your kids to sleep. ;)
