Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, in the Southshore area of Tampa Bay, this waterfront inn boasts beautiful views, a restaurant serving American-Caribbean fare and two pools to splash and swim in. Sunsets over the water are spectacular. Take them in by the Tiki bar with live music, from the pier, or at the onsite restaurant, Sunset Grill. You might even catch sight of a dolphin or manatee. This place is perfectly located between Tampa and Sarasota right on Tampa Bay. You'll enjoy access to a number of amenities including tennis courts, beach volleyball, 3 pools, 2 Jacuzzis, a Tiki Bar and more when you stay here! For an additional fee guests can access watersports activities, bike rentals. Hooks Restaurant offers poolside snacks, drinks and cocktails until 9:00PM. Go for a stroll through the tropical gardens or take a nap on the resort's private beach. If water sports are your thing, the resort offers a number of activities on-site including guided jet ski tours, kayaks, and paddle boating. After lounging at the beach, retreat to your air-conditioned LIVING SPACE. Curl up on the bed and enjoy your favorite shows on cable TV. In the early evening, step out onto the pier and enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful sunset. You can easily connect with friends and family back home, courtesy of the complimentary Wi-Fi.
If you feel like venturing away from the resort, we suggest day trips to visit The Dali Museum, Busch Gardens, the Tampa Zoo, the Florida Aquarium, or The Alley, a bowling alley and arcade. If you want to dance the night away, we are just 30 minutes from Ybor City nightlife and South Howard neighborhood in Tampa.
We also have children’s playground that is great for the little ones.
There's something here for everyone!
I look forward to booking with you and hope you enjoy your beach home away from home!

Couple getaway
This is our 2nd time staying at the location. Everything was clean and weather was beautiful. The 2 restaurant/bars located on the premise are very good as well. Only a 35+minute drive to Tampa or Sarasota so not to far from things. It is a quiet place to relax and get some sun. Highly recommend the place.

Tx 4 the stay
I liked the room, so clean and stylish. Short walk across parking lot there was benches, tables , grills, where you can sit and watch wildlife, we saw a dolphin, birds and many fish jumping out of the water. There was a cool tree frog and snails in the landscape by the patio. We had a drink by the beach bar, expect hefty prices. Maybe check swim conditions before going if that matters if a last minute trip. The beach has a no swim sign due to bacteria levels. Locals told us the beach is pretty bad in little harbour, lots of no see ums. And if you park at beach you have to pay. It's walkable unless you are physically challenged. If I don't need to stay on a big beach in the future, I'd consider staying here again. One more thing if physically challenged is the mini fridge, as it's low, and a taller fridge would be better for my travel companion.

I thought beach meant it was on the beach. I was looking forward to hearing waves crash, but it's on a canal, not a beach. Still very nice and a great bargain for the money.

Great Place to Stay!!!!
This condo is newly renovated and is in a great location. You don't need anything but your clothes and personal items. Towels including beach were very nice. The following items were provided: shampoo, conditioner, body soap, hair blower, keurig, family size air fryer, and microwave. The location is across from the canal where we watched the dolphins and manatees. Both pools were clean and warm and the restaurants provided good food and Sunset had live music. You will not be disappointed with your stay in this quaint condo. We will be back!!!

Excellent-true to description
Two 65+stayed for 14 nights. The description was spot on. Very clean, kitchen amenities (utensils, cooking pot/pans) were all there. We stayed in a different unit last year for one week but I like the set up of this unit with the 1 queen bed away from the door/windows. This is in a neighborhood of condos (this is not a condo) and marinas and we walked 1-2 miles each morning. Felt very safe to walk to Sunset Bar (nightly entertainment). Entrance to community has guard shack after 10 p.m

Christmas gift for my wife
I wanted to surprise my wife with a short get-away to Florida. The apartment was just as described. Very clean and good for what we needed. The weather was not great but it beats Chicago weather any day. The bar/restaurant is walking distance from the unit and it has some of the best Key Lime pie. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. It is not to far from Tampa.

Black out shades!
A map of property with directions would be very helpful. I arrived around 1 am and was completely lost. Also, black out curtains from floor to ceiling are needed. I continually woke and thought it was daylight out as the porch light is very bright and I had no way to turn it off.

Nice Unit
The unit was exactly what I needed for a short stay. Clean and modern. My only issue was the area. It wasn’t what I personally would choose. Seemed a little rough. I was also traveling alone so this made me a bit nervous. If I was traveling with other people it would be okay.

Lovely area with beach, pools, restaurants, new work-out /gathering space, shuffleboard, bocce, cornhole, pickleball, etc. Comfortable room with everything we needed for a relaxing time. But the best part was watching dolphins and manatees in their natural habitat!
