Peaceful and Relaxing

4 of 5
Submitted: April 3, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful unit with us. We needed a time away to relax and rejuvenate and celebrate a recovery..this fit the bill. This unit has spectacular decorating/colors and we found the separation between entertaining and bedrooms wonderful. The deck off the living room was sunny and warm, out of the wind on those days when it was cooler. The area was peaceful and quiet and we saw lots of wildlife from the deck. We loved walking around the marina and seeing the sunset each evening. This was a highlight for us. We did a lot of touring as well and would recommend: the Manatee Viewing area at Appollo Beach: Circles Restaurant ( the grouper bites are to die for); Palmetto Reserve and Ellenton Outlet Mall for the shoppers. Thanks again for sharing.

This house spoiled us!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 12, 2013 Stayed: August 2012
We stayed here during the first week of September and have to say my friend and I (both 22 years old) were blown away by how beautiful this home was.

First and foremost, you can tell each room was meticulously furnished and decorated. Each room had its own them, from ocean, seashells, and pelican inspired, to rich and fiery sunsets and the like. It felt like we were in the Caribbean, yet with all the amenities offered in America! Everything was very clean, neat, and high quality.

The 3 balconies spoiled us. One of them faced east (great from morning breakfast), and the master balcony was possibly the most wonderful part off our visit. Overlooking the canal and manga trees, the sounds of the water, birds and view of dusk, made it a very tranquil spot.

We really enjoyed the amount of storage space available for our clothes, and the entertainment! Free movies playing all day/night long! This was especially a treat. And most importantly, no problems with wifi.

Other than the home, we were only a 2 minute walk from the outdoor pool and exercise facility, which was mere feet from the docks!

The restaurant had delicious food and the live entertainment played great jamming songs and oldies for any crowd.

Above all, the docks were spectacular. The best view of the sunset is at the dock no doubt. There were also many pelicans, and different types of fish of all sizes that gather the friendly fishing folk.

We had a great time fishing, kayaking, and swimming (all on site), and would highly recommend this home as a place to stay! Everyone was very friendly, and every aspect of this house and resort was clean, organized, and enjoyable.

...And there were no mosquitoes!

Our winter get away

5 of 5
Submitted: March 5, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
The listing and photos of the unit were exactly as described. The property was clean, well maintained, and excellently decorated. The only thing that was not available that we would have liked was a grill.

The owner was very helpful prior to our visit and the property manager was available and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this to a friend or relative.

Didn't do a lot of attractions, but did enjoy the Lowry Park Zoo. Plenty of golf courses to keep us occupied. Spent time on the private beach here which was very nice (and convenient).

Restaurants: Sunset Grill, Circles (Apollo Beach), Grannies (for breakfast), were all very good.

Owner's Response: Hello William,
Thank you so much for your nice comments. I am glad you liked my place and the pictures did not disappoint you. It would be my pleasure to have you back in my property for the next year. Too bad my place was booked for March and I couldn't have you staying for March as well. You have been very polite and excellent guest and I would certainly like to have you back and will do my best to make you feel like home.

Best regards,
Mary Yousif

A Very Specious and Comfortable Town Home in a Beautiful Resort

5 of 5
Submitted: February 13, 2013 Stayed: November 2012
My wife and I stayed for a week at this luxury town home last November. With the recent snowstorm hitting North America, we decided to start planning for next winter. We promised ourselves that our next getaway will be for a few weeks and if possible we would like to go back to this beautiful town home. We agree with all the reviews below that this is an amazing town home well decorated with nice colours and located in a beautiful resort. However, we would like to point out a few things that we particularly liked. First, the breath taking view of the mango forest as you wake up in the morning and face it through the wall-to-wall sliding glass balcony doors. Second, the complete privacy that you have in the two large balconies off the living room and the master bedroom where you can enjoy your breakfast, lunch, and supper or just have a quiet time. Third, the town home has southern exposure, which means in the winter you have sun from morning until sunset and the summer shade throughout the day. Fourth, the few minutes walk to the beach is very relaxing as you walk under the palm trees, along flower beds and around the beautiful little harbour. Fifth, the long pier and the two gazeboes provide an excellent location to do your morning exercise and yoga routines. Sixth, the three swimming pools can satisfy any taste and the two gym facilities as well as the three tennis and basket ball courts are always available for the more athletic visitors. Finally, the sunsets are amazing and different from one day to the next. This is why we plan to go back to this beautiful town home. Thank you Mary for letting us to stay at you beautiful home.

Lovely home well decorated

My husband and I stayed here over the Christmas holiday and it was lovely. I have stayed at other town homes in Little Harbor and this was the best one of all. I loved the was it was decorated, great colors and perfectly maintained. My husband appreciated that the mattress was so comfortable and he slept well. Kitchen was well appointed and just a short walk to the restaurant. No question, I would stay here again next year.

Beautiful Townhome

Submitted: October 24, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
First, thank you, Mary for allowing us to share your beautiful vacation home to visit with our children and grandchildren. Although all of these units are rather small, this unit was beautifully decorated and very clean. We have stayed at Little Harbor in the past and will probably stay again, as the resort is fairly close to our daughters home, and the property is gorgeous. The property offers many amenities such as swimming, restaurant, and nightlife on the weekends. Also, fishing, boating, and charters - and the manatee are here! This is a quaint little townhome that is great for 2-4 people, and offered all that was needed for a pleasant stay.

Had an amazing time!

5 of 5
Submitted: October 10, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We had a fantastic time at the resort in this beautifully maintained home. The rooms are very spacious and well decorated. Every room had a fun and subtle theme. The rear upper balcony facing the ravine is breathtaking to wake up to from the master bedroom and the ravine aids in opening up the house with natural lighting during the day and night. We never bothered with closing curtains. It is a very clean home in an amazingly well maintained community with something for everyone. There is not one day we walked to the restaurant or beach and did not see workers maintaining the gardens and palm trees.

Little harbour was a great treat and we will definately reconsider this home in the future and recommend to any couples and even families as there was plenty of extra room!
