Great location

Roomy condo convenient to beaches and great food. Lots of great restaurants within 15 minutes of the condo. Love the decks. Also liked that we were able to use the private garage for our vehicle and bikes. Little Harbor is a great place to bring your bike. Would rent again.

Cozy Stay

Very cozy and comfortable. Quiet neighborhood. Pool was great and the food at Sunset Grill was awesome. Had the Ribeye and some happy hour shots. We were able to walk to the amenities since the condo was so close. Management and maintenance are super great.

Great amenities and beach

Property was fine for 4 adults and 3 kids, we only stayed 2 nights- the beach was amazing, spent all day there. Only issue was that we were told the pool was open until 10pm but it was closed at 5:30/6pm (dusk), so we had some pretty upset kids there wasnโ€™t much else to do at night there. Closest entertainment was 30 min away; so I wouldnโ€™t stay in Ruskin again with small kids. The house was nice enough, but be prepared to bring toilet paper/paper towel/condiments etc (as it stated in the ad).

Pools and hot tub were shut down.

Both pools and hot tub were really dirty and shut down by the health department our second day there so we couldnโ€™t use them at all. The beach was alright, but a little small, especially when no one could use the pools. Our condo was fine, but definitely need to stop at the store to get supplies as they donโ€™t stick much at all. We didnโ€™t even have all the supplies they listed. Overall, we had a good time but weโ€™re really disappointed with the pool situation.

Check in

It was hard checking into the condo, the owner didnโ€™t know the combination number 5 different times! Plus, there was a fuse blow & property management never called us back to tell us where the box was hidden! Thank god a neighbor informed us where it was located!

Needs upgrading

First the carpet needs cleaning very badly, the coffee pot was very old school. Who uses filters anymore? And really 4 washcloths for a month? Needs new sheets, wonโ€™t stay on. No vacum cleaner or anything to clean floors(a month we were there) curtain rods to outside door were broken and we bought new rods . Bathrooms smelled of mold! And all the steps we wonโ€™t mention! The location is wonderful, with everything you need. The whole place needs an upgrade! But we will never book here again!

First outing with our three girls under three. Property was clean and as advertised. Stairs were very inviting to our middle one as a play area. Pools were good and beach area very calm and shallow. Had a good time

Fair stay.

Lovely area , would prefer if sheets fit beds so in middlebof night having to get up to remake it , bottom sheet always came off because to big. Only 2 wash clothes and towels are very thin and dingy..a few more plates and glasses would of helped. For the price a little sparse. Could use more chairs for balconys.. Privacy issues with noise at 1:00 in the morning on other belcony next to us.

We had a great vacation!

We enjoyed our stay! The place was lovely, minor things that need to be fixed but the manager was accessible at all times and was very responsive to our needs! I would recommend the unit to anyone! The neighbors were very friendly and the area is very clean. I would definitely go back and rent here. Thank you Carmen for making sure our stay was pleasant!
