    Sitting in the hot tub watching the sunset
    John F.

    Really nice place to stay without all the normally busy tourist spots. I have been asked several times "vacationing in Ruskin?" Yes in Ruskin, a short distance to all the tourist attractions in and around Tampa bay or any of the other towns plus you get a resort location just off a private beach. This resort has three clean pools and two spas. The only downside is the lack of restaurants and retail outlets but that is what makes it a unique resort that doesn't have the tourist trap feel. Great place to relax. Just be aware that the resort charges an extra $40 per day above what you pay on any online service. Not the greatest value but the place is worth the cost.

    A little piece of paradise. Rooms are nice, clean, and have ample space. Full kitchen and easy enough to bring your own meals or cook for yourself. Affordable, private beach, plenty of activities, great sunsets. Doing a day at Disney from here is completely doable. 3 different visits for us and counting. Need I say more?

    My boyfriend and I took a vacation here from Maine. We loved it!! Very clean, great staff, plenty to do. The food was great, only complaint is breakfast doesn't start until 8am. That was a little late since we had to hit the road early in the a.m. We sat on the beach most of the day. The water was very warm and you can see a great view of St Petersburg and Tampa. We took advantage of the jet skis. One thing to note, we spent hundreds of dollars on cocktails at the bar. 12hrs of continuous drinking and we didn't get drunk. The cocktails obviously contain the bare minimum alcohol! LOL. Definitely worth it. The place is beautiful. I would go again!

    BEYOND AWFUL!!!!! Stayed here after reading an article that it was one of the top hotels to stay in in the area and it literally could not have been any worse. We got an email saying we got complimentary breakfast buffet for two per day as on of our VIP deals. So we asked at the front desk where it was and when. We went the next morning and the waitress said no that's actually tomorrow. So we had to pay for our breakfast; not a huge loss. However, we went as told the next day and our waiter told us we needed a voucher for it. After calling the hotel at breakfast we found out we should have received 30 dollars worth of resort credit every day we stayed. We had already been there for three days and only had one left, not to mention we had already spent well over 100$ on meals at the resort. In addition all of the kitchen utensils in our room were covered in dust and there was a gross used condom over by the hot tub. Yet, we decided to give the pool another chance the next night. After a day of the town we got home pretty late at night but decided to see about the pool. A resort map the hotel gave us said "all pools open until 11 pm. " it was only 10. Within two minutes of getting in the pool a guy showed up on a golf cart and told us we had to get out and the pool closed at 10. The sign outside the pool did say 10 and we went to try another pool that we knew said 11. Unfortunately the hot tub had about 10 adults over two in the hot tub and a pool full of obnoxious teens. We gave up and called it a night. Later we asked the staff and she said oh that's a different hotel all together that's why. Then be straightforward and don't list those pools on your hotels amenities if it's not the same hotel. I feel that this hotel was very misleading and did not at all live up to our expectations. It is too far from the popular Florida attractions and we will never recommend this hotel to anyone or will we ever be visiting again.

    Very nice hotel and condos in Little Harbor. The owners are just now releasing some of the hotel units to be able to be sold as condos. There are 3 buildings, A, B, and C. They are 5 stories tall and have great views of the open water. The penthouses are 2 stories and on the 4th and 5th floors. There are also studio units with kitchenettes, 1 bedrooms units with full kitchens, and other floor plans to choose from. They have a very nice pool area and work out area. The building is kept very clean, and all of it is very well maintained. Parking gates control who can enter the ground level parking areas. A pool and gym membership is available for $50 monthly to those who do not own/ lease/ rent a unit in the property. I have been inside most of the various floor plans and posted photos of most of them. Walk to the marina, as you can see your boat outside your room, if on that side of the building. You can also walk to the local beach and 2 different restaurant/ bars in the area.

    Filthy windows!!!

    My husband and I reserved and prepaid for 3 nights and left after the 2nd night. This place is an absolute dump. It is located in a miserable town. One of the highest rated restaurants is a roadside stand. Others include food trucks. I knew we were in trouble as we drove toward it off I75. The surrounding area included mobile homes and dilapidated houses. The property itself was very attractive as we drove up. That good impression wore off as we saw the space accommodations. The bed was tiny. There wasn't even bedside tables. The shower was full of hair. I had to clean and sanitize it. As I placed a towel on the rack the entire thing hit the ground. While I was cleaning my husband was calling the front desk about the in-room safe that didn't work. He was told to bring our valuables to them for safe keeping. I opened the curtain to see the view they raved about. I have attached a picture. The windows were disgusting. There were layers if bird poop. The tiny refrigerator provided was missing the entire door rack. We tried to make the best of it. We couldn't get any sleep with the constant whistling of the pipes in the walls. We drove an hour away to enjoy a decent beach. We went to the laundry room the next day to find all the dryers broken. That was the last straw! We checked out. What a dump!!! Stay away from the entire town. There is nothing to see or enjoy here!!

    This was a getaway weekend combined with a high school reunion in Saint Pete and it worked out nicely! Ruskin is a sleepy little Florida town that time has forgot but Haborside seems to be in a world of its own. You have a private beach and restaurants to chose from, we booked a Suite with a full kitchen so made most meals there because of our kids. The rooms are probably the nicest hotel rooms I've seen just about anywhere, it was more like a apartment with a full kitchen and living room, the interior design team did a great job with the colors and the furniture, it feels like the the vacation condo you should have! The staff was a mixed bag, cleaning staff was very friendly, the front desk somewhat disgruntled and the only mark on this place. We throughly enjoyed the sunsets after spending the days at Treasure Island and Madeira Beach, the restaurant and beach club were busy and it turns out it is a destination wedding spot as there was a couple getting married each night at the ballroom adjacent Great, great place, truly a diamond in the rough! You won't be dissappointed!

    Ruskin seems to be isolated, not much going on in the neighborhood. But surprisingly, there are quite a few nice eateries nearby and the manatee viewing center is in neighboring Appollo Beach. Tampa, Clearwater, St Petersburg and Sarasota are all in easy drive distance. The Harborside resort was nicely done interiorly. Well furnished in kitchen. All the gates, elevator and rooms are accessed by electronic card. Very safe. The pool, hot tub look nice though we did not get to use them. Fitness room offers enough of machine and equipment. Our only gripe was they only gave 2 rolls of toilet paper for one week's stay. You are on your own if you need more. Kind of annoying! Also, the hallway often smelled like some strong cleaning agent in the air. Overall, decent clean place!

    This place is disgusting! They could care less about keeping the property looking nice or your comfort. The public spaces are tore up and have been for almost a year now. There is mold. A LOT of mold in the showers by the pool. There is no way someone has even bothered cleaning this space. This is a public area! There's a bar of soap with a pubic hair in the shower that has been there since I was here last over a month ago! The front desk girls are in there all day gossiping and just don't care. See attached pics.

    My husband and I stayed here for a little "getaway" for the weekend and it was phenomenal! We ate at the Sunset Grill each day, spent our days on the beach, and our nights in the pool. It was so relaxing and the suite was very nice!! I can't wait to go back!! I do wish they supplied paper towels for the kitchen, and maybe cleaned the couches slightly more, but it wasn't bad enough to change the 5 stars. :)

    Last time in as here th suites were nice.I went to the hotel side by the basketball courts.We had a few of the rooms.One room 105 had mold in the toilet like they never clean & soap scum on the sink faucet I didn't take pictures of that room cuz it was for our other guests.The pics shown below are from my room 109. Not shown in pics(dusty head boards& not so cleaned floors)I wore brand new white socks and in a few hours of only walking on the "clean" floors the bottom of my socks were grey.I put on the socks right on when we got checked in.

    Awesome stay with family and friends. Very clean spacious rooms and well managed. We were there for just overnight and really had a wonderful stay with very comfy beds and well stocked amenities inside the room. Will for sure go back to spend more days and avail their packages.

I loved that we all had our own cottages and in the mornings we would gather at one and have breakfast and coffee together, just catching up. There was so much to do as well. The kids had a blast in the pool and some went fishing on the dock. We played games and chatted for hours. The cottages were well stocked and comfortable. I rented the 2 bedroom and it had 2 ac units to keep the place cooled down. I only had 2 gripes during this stay: 1. The shower head in the restroom. I'm not saying that it needs to be a rainfall shower head but a regular shower head set up in the ceiling isn't working. They need to just move it where a regular shower head goes, on the wall. 2. The bug bites. I mean, I get it, it's right on the water but no amount of bug spray worked. No home remedies worked. You just had to take it. I walked out of there looking like I have chicken pox but I had a great time! Other than that, everything was amazing! Tami and Lynn were great and any questions we had they were both ready to help. I will definitely come back but it won't be in the summer, I have learned my lesson lol.

Before I could even finish saying, "Good morning, i am here to check in." A man at the front just started going on and on about how check in isn't until later there is nothing that we can do and etc. i called my mom because i didn't even say anything and wasn't in the mood to go back and forward, he was extremely rude to her on the phone until she named dropped Kimmie. Then all of a sudden he had a room available for check in. Funny enough Kimme is the one who was telling my grandmother not to worry about it or him and that everything would get situated. We checked into room 101. Which smelled like mold, had a broken toilet, telephone , and several roaches. I walked to the lobby(the phone was not working) to tell them. The man who was rude earlier insisted on us staying in the room because they will fix the toilet. Kimmie however made sure he moved us to a new room. As i was walking to the front to tell the front desk about the room my grandmother let me know room service and maintenance just walked into fix the toilet without knocking. She said they told her "they didn't think anyone was in the room" which makes sense to me if check in is normally at 2. But poor communication in the staff nonetheless. Ive got to say the best thing about the place was Kimmie and the house cleaning staff. I wouldn't recommend this stay to anyone but my worst enemy.

A broken window with cardboard box closing it up, a doggie door on a locked door into a garage that the owner was STAYING IN!! At all random times during the day and night. We had two, one year old children that could have crawled through that dog door! The floors were discussing, all of our feet were black from just walking on it. We started bringing our stuff in from our long drive here only to find more and more filth. The fridge was full of old food and dirt. The front of it was splattered in who knows what. The microwave had food all over it. The stove top had grease splattered and was so dirty you could write your name in the filth. The dish washer STILL had dishes in it!! The bathroom tub had hair everywhere and was BLACK with dirt. Both toilets in this house were covered in hair and poop. The drawers in the bathroom had hair clippings like someone shaved and dumped their hair in there!! We found glass multiple times on the floor. The beds were beyond GROSS. Stains everywhere, one even had blood stains on both the sheets and the bed . There was layers of dust on the ceiling fans and under the beds. The walls were splattered with filth. Picture frames on the wall covered in all things gross. The dock was broken, the mini golf was A COMPLETE JOKE. It would be better off as fire wood. We called vrbo immediately and they called Peter who told us that he would be sending a cleaning service to fix this around 2 pm the next day. Of course being during naptimes for our kids we agreed (mistake) so we headed out so they could clean. We came back after 5 to Peter NOT a cleaning service. He said he cleaned the bathrooms but there was no difference at all. He left and the place was exactly the same. So we called vrbo this time to see if they could help move us, and get our money back. How could we stay here with our small children and the filth?!? Vrbo said that there was nothing they could do for us but continued to apologize. We called Peter then to see if we could get our money back or at least do something for us. Because at this point we had now cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen to make it work just so we weren't so grossed out. We went and bought our own cleaners to do so!! Peter Yelled at one of the wifes on the phone, making her cry. Then came to the House!! With his girlfriend telling us that the place was clean and that it was fine. Never apologizing for anything. Just that he would get us new bed sheets and that we were over reacting. "Treated like family" is a joke. All of this drama happened while we were trying to feed our kids dinner. At this point none of us felt comfortable staying here with our families. But were out of money if we left. So we were stuck. We cleaned the house and left everyday and went somewhere to get out of that place. None of us slept in fear of what was on those beds and knowing peter was there at all times. The place is gross and not worth your time nor money. This was supposed to be a fun family friend trip and we all couldn't wait to leave. How horrible!! Family's saved money, took off time for work, travelled over 18 hours to come to a complete mess of a place. We all have tons of photos of everything! Save yourself time and money and stay somewhere else.

    I inquired about this property after arriving here from Los Angeles. The first night I stayed in…read morethe house they rent out I was so tired I went right to sleep and checked out next morning. About an hour after checking out Peter and his wife "Taz" called me offering me the motorhome next to their house to stay in because the rental house was being rented out for the weekend. I agreed and met with them that day. From the outside the motorhome looked ok. When they showed me the inside it was dusty and didnt appear to have been used in a long time. I thought it was odd they didnt clean it before showing it to me but in that area there arent a lot of apts available and no hotels that I seen so out of desperation I agreed to rent the place. Against my better judgement I agreed to pay $750 a month and $750 deposit which I would get back as long as I didnt do any damage. So I gave them $1500 and moved my stuff in. First incident that happened was when I opened refrigerator it was infested with bugs I immesiately called them and Taz came and put a bunch of towels soaked in bleach in fridge and left it overnight. She said she'd be back in morning to finish. So in the morning Im still asleep and theres a knock on the door, mind you I wasnt given a key. So shes knocking I didnt answer because i was still asleep and after knocking twice she decided to just let herself in the motorhone. I know where Im from its illegal for manager or owner to enter a rented property without 3 days notice. Theyre definately not allowed to just open the door especially a locked soor whenever they want. I was asleep naked and this woman just walked in like it was nothing. She cleaned the fridge and left. I know she entered the motorhome numerous times when I would leave in the next 2 or 3 days i was there without permission. Ive sinced noticed numerous things of mine missing but this would be the least of my lroblems come to find out. This next series of events I have attached pics so you can get an idea of what Im about to say. The last night I was there, while laying in bed, I kept itching really really bad about 3 hours later i turned on all the lights and couldnt believe what I saw first of all she took the sheets I had used 4 days prior when I stayed in the house and put them on the bed in the motorhome, not really a big deal but little odd. When I looked at the mattress underneath the pad that was put on top of bed I was horrified. (See pics) i jumped in the shower cuz I felt so nasty and covered in bugs. (See pics) when i got out of shower and looked at the water you could literally see all the bugs that came off my body and hair while showering. Not to mention i had to take a cold shower cuz entire time i was there I never got hot water. Its trou ling even repeating and reliving this situation again. Im horrified of bugs especially bed bugs. As I started to look through my things everything had bugs on it. I grabbed all my things and immediately went to 24 hour laundrymat and hot water washed everything I xould salvage that ddidnt get thrown away by me. I had to throw away about 15 pairs of shoes because they had fabric on them and I couldnt wash them. I have very good taste in shoes and as everyone knows womens shoes are not cheap. I was itching for days after. While at laundrymat i text Peter asking him for my $1500 dollars back. I had only been there for 4 days and in thise 4 days i never had hot water, my privacy was violated daily and I had to throw out probably $1200 in food that was in fridge and my other belongings that were ruined by bed bugs. Not only did they refuse to give me any money back but I didnt even get an apology. Nothing from them whatsoever except "wheres the key" thats the response I got after writing a 3 page text frantic and in tears I was so horrified by bug situation. Not even an apology. I still to this day havent received a dime back from them. I have many photos and will be taking them to court. So anybody even thinking about staying here, think again you will regret it. Im a very easy going person and I was done so wrong by these people. Please look at the pics Ive included so you know everything your reading is the absolute truth about what happened there. Grom afar it seems like a nice place but dont be fooled. I can almoat guaranteed they did nothing about the bed bug problem and the next person that stays there i feel very sorry for. And if your thinking about renting the rental house they have just remember it only takes one bug on their shoe or clothes and they walk in that rental place that place is now infested.
