Stunning Resort Like Townhome w/ Pool, Beach, Bar!

🏡 Watch Manatees and Dolphin play in the canal or gaze across the mangrove forest all from your multiple back balconies. Your time at Mangrove Magic can be a relaxing and romantic seaside getaway or a fun filled and action packed exploration of all the wonderful amenities that Little Harbor Resort has to offer. A white sandy beach, sunset tiki bar, two pools, and exercise room, and two waterside restaurants await your arrival.

Join one of the boat clubs in the Marina and pick your ride for the day or self propel with kayak or paddle board rentals. Day trips include lots of golf, parks and nature trails, or maybe a short trip over the Skyway bridge some shopping and dining in St. Pete Beach. Our favorite is Pass-A-Grille and the Red, White, and Booze restaurant right on the inter-coastal waterway.

Immerse yourself in the inviting ambiance of our communal heated pool, where you can soak up the sun and unwind in style. Feel the cool, refreshing water caress your skin as you embrace the tranquility of this oasis. Indulge in the beauty of beach access just steps away, where pristine sands and shimmering waves await your arrival. Take leisurely walks along the shore, bask in the sun's gentle warmth, and let the rhythmic sound of the ocean soothe your soul.

And that's not all! Our resort-like townhome boasts an onsite bar where you can sip on your favorite drinks and mingle with fellow guests. Enjoy delightful conversations, laughter, and create unforgettable memories in this inviting social space.

This townhouse was perfectly appointed. The location on Little Harbor is ideal. My family & I loved vacationing here and agree to rent this VRBO every time we come to Ruskin to visit family versus multiple hotel rooms. Check-in & check-out were a breeze. The host's instructions were spot-on. We highly recommend this VRBO to any family of 4 or more! THANK YOU Emperor Rentals for providing such a wonderful & memorable home away from home!

The host took us in last minute after a disaster at the prior VRBO. They were easy to communicate with and the property was better than what the pictures showed it.

Exceptional experience all around!

I've stayed in quite a few VRBO rentals over the years, and this property was one of my very best experiences ever. Every aspect of the rental experience was outstanding. The townhome was nicely decorated, remarkably clean with many extra touches that made it standout. Beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The back balconies looked out on a canal and natural foliage with a view of the bay to the right. Lovely view and very peaceful. Enjoyed watching herons, eagles, fish and more. The property management company was extremely communicative and responsive. I highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.
