Beach Resort! 3bdrm 3 bth- Quick walk to the beach, restaurants, bars, pools, fitness center and so much more!

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.
Relax in comfort at our spacious 3 bedroom home with balconies overlooking the tranquil canal. Fully furnished and featuring a well equipped kitchen, this home is perfect for families or groups. Parking and Wi Fi are included, with no limit on vehicles — overflow parking is available throughout the community. For your stay, we provide linens, bath towels, and two beach chairs (beach towels available upon request). Additional chairs can be rented directly on our beach.
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.

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.

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.

Non urgent items can be noted and will be handled after your stay unless you’d like them addressed sooner. We will not tolerate guests who are looking to stay for free or looking to scam homeowners. We believe that mutual respect and communication is crucial for a successful stay. These are large homes and like with any home, issues can arise.
