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:

• 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.

Not the best stay
We love love love the area and resort. But definitely not this unit. Carmen was slow to respond- Codes were incorrect, Remotes and fan needed batteries and coffee pot missing. Washing machine was moldy and tub would not drain. Maintenance came to fix both. Not very clean overall and kitchen was thin on utensils and kitchenware. Big deal if you're here for a month. Many things didnt work. If you have a problem it will be awhile for a response from property manager. Would not stay here again

Clean. Responsive. Would stay again.
When we booked, the pin location on the VRBO map did not match the actual address of the unit, but the manager was very helpful, understanding, and responsive. The area where we ended up was fine for our needs, so we stayed. The unit was very clean, and we enjoyed our stay. Would stay there again.

Overall Nice Property
Loved the development with restaurants, beach and marinas. As a member of Freedom Boat club it was very convenient with two locations. Gym has minimal equipment and bugs on canal side were unbearable at the end of the day. Wifi reception is awful and there is literally no cell reception in the area. I emailed owner several times with no response, however she was receptive when texting and very helpful. Overall we loved the property and development. Area outside the development was not the best.

It was exactly what we were looking for. Nice place and a good area. The beach is really nice and pretty much anything you need is just a short drive away.
