Waterfront/Pet friendly-7 min walk to Beach-TikiBar-Pool-Boat rentals-Marina-Gym

The best sunsets are at Little Harbor on Bahia Beach. Our well appointed townhome faces west and is beautifully furnished. It features new table & dining chairs, new sofa & love seat, 4 terraces, 2 overlooking the harbor (where manatees and dolphins have been spotted swimming), 4 TVs, cable, internet, washer/dryer, granite counter tops, and stainless steel appliances. Tile and hardwood floors throughout. The main bedroom has a king poster bed and en-suite bath, the 2nd bedroom has a queen bed with en-suite bath, and the 3rd bedroom has a queen bed and is located next to the main bath. Plus we have a queen air mattress available and a pack n play.

The townhome is in the Resort & Club at Little Harbor which is right on Tampa Bay between Tampa and Sarasota but away from the crowds.

The beach is just yards from our home. On the beachfront you can enjoy full service dining all day, the tiki bar with live entertainment, and the beautiful sunsets over Tampa Bay. There are two restaurants, plus the community offers a private beach, heated pool, outdoor fire pit, hot tub, basketball, pickle ball, tennis, playground, boating, and 2 marinas with slips.

Golf cart available for an additional fee through the owner or other sources and is not included in the rent.

Nice beachless getaway

The condo and hosts were as advertised- 10/10. Beautiful 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom condo with gorgeous views of the tampa bay. Every room had it's own balcony which was a major plus for our group. The complex was super nice & welcoming. We did rent a golf cart and would recommend as the unit is a trek to the pools, gym, restaurants & bay area. Vacationers should know, Bahia "beach" is a bay that feels like a lake with a manmade beach that has warning signs against swimming due to contamination/ potential illness. The "beach" is also NOT pet friendly. Don't get me wrong, the view is beautiful, but if you are looking for a BEACH vacation, this isn't it.We drove to Fort De Soto, Clearwater, St. Pete Beach, & Ana Maria island for our beach fix. Nearly one hour each way with Florida tolls.We will not be returning, because we are beach bums, but if you are looking for a stay in the Tampa Bay and not your typical beach vaca, this is a great spot.

Amazing property

This condo was absolutely beautiful. We couldn't have been happier. From the adorable decorations on the inside to the amazing comfortable beds! We were also impressed with how many items the place had that you need for every day vacation living! The kitchen was stocked with utensils, baking wear, and more just like at home! I got up every morning and was able to make us real meals. We will definitely be coming back to this place for another family vacation!
