A picture is worth a thousand words is the best way to describe this property. The size of the unit is best described as a hotel room but the way the space is utilized makes it seem much larger. It was absolutely perfect for two people. We had everything we needed for a four night stay including coffee and essentials to get us started. The bed was comfortable too. Let’s talk about the view and location. WOW. Walk right out your door for a beautiful sunrise. We also saw dolphins and manatees swimming daily. The location was also quiet and off the beaten path a little. It is just a few steps from the pool, playground and other amenities. It the pool is not your thing just a few more steps to the beach area where you can rent chairs for only 5.00 a day. Both of the restaurants on property where also very nice. There is not much else to do in Ruskin itself but it’s a easy drive to Tampa and we actually enjoyed the area for what it has to offer. Besides you don’t have to leave the resort.

We loved the place, walk out to the water and watch the dolphins! Walk to restaurants and the beach!

Excellent location, stay. Room clean and convenient!

Compare with others in the same condo, one of the best ones.

A very quiet, restful spot for us for a couple of days. Highly likely we will come again.

We had a great stay. The place was exactly as described. The location was perfect for us. We will stay again. Great host.

Good

It was great for my husband and I we had a lot of fun

A lovely condo located in a quiet and serene area! 2 pools, whirlpool, private beach, beach bar and grill and another restaurant on the property! You'll need a car as grocery stores, etc are not within walking but once you get what you need, you won't want to leave the property. Lush plants, trees and flowers abound. My host, Marilin, was super helpful and accommodating. This condo is less than 40 minutes from the Tampa airport.

Good experience

What a crazy weekend was had. From check in to check out the communication was amazing. She even put rose pedals and champagne in the room when we arrived (coordinated). There’s a “beach” very close and a beach bar right there too. It was just a great experience. Will be back!

I had a wonderful stay in this VRBO unit, an efficiency apartment in a beautiful bayside resort. I've stayed in other units in the complex, and there's just no comparison. THIS BEAUTIFUL ground-floor unit was airy, very clean, well-lighted, smelled good, and tastefully decorated. It had clean, plentiful linens, a great shower, cooking equipment with pretty dishes and utensils, a Keurig coffee maker, shampoo, etc., a good-size "mini" fridge, and a nice TV. I appreciated the kitchen-size trash can and extra supplies. You park at your door, which makes it easy to unpack the car. Super comfy bed. During the time I was there, the place was quiet - just what I needed. Beautiful, breathtaking sunrises over the water to enjoy with your morning coffee on the porch just outside the door. Gorgeous pool right on the water accessible with key fob. Nice little beach area with equipment rentals. Very good gym/workout area accessible with key fob. Pier for fishing. Fishing charter boats and dolphin tour boats are also on the property. Nice playground for the kids. There's not a store of any type on the property, so be sure to bring everything you need. If not, there are lots of little stores and a regular grocery store just up the road in Ruskin. The restaurant on the property is wonderful, and their prices are very fair. I looked forward to dinner and a glass of wine there every night. You can't beat the live music and sunset view from the restaurant, with St. Petersburg twinkling in the distance as the sun sets over Tampa Bay. It's a rare treat to enjoy the sunrise and sunset right from your "home" every day. I've recommended this unit to several friends. Extremely responsive and thoughtful host. I'm already checking my calendar for a return trip to this specific unit. Thank you for everything.

Room was very nice and clean. Across from the water with a great view

Our stay at this facility was amazing. Not only was the facility overall as described but it was a beautiful location and the facilities were excellent. I would make one small suggestion that for every room a ride up be left as to like for the laundry room is, where the game room is and how to get into it, location location of stores and restaurants in the area. That would be more than helpful for those not from the Ruskin area. We will definitely use your facility again and have recommended it to many people. Thank you again.

Beds were not comfortable.Room and property was clean. Only had 2 grills outside to use.Outside porch light stays on all night and the curtains are thin and the room stays lit up all night. Was very difficult to sleep in the bright room at night.Views out the room was beautiful. Overall peaceful place to stay. Have to drive off property for miles to find shopping or convenience stores.On-site restaurants are expensive.

Issues with check in - door code was never changed and waited over an hour to get in.

We had a blast ! Walking on the beach looking for shells on one side of the property and on the other side watching sting rays, manatees and dolphin family !! The food at Hooks was delicious!!

Property was very well kept and clean! An air fryer, hot plate and skillet, and misc kitchen items were perfect! The fridge was large enough and dish soap was already there. The extra large trash can was also nice! Dolphins play daily in the harbor/channel right outside the door. What a treat! The beach was within walking distance along with a nice playground and tennis courts. It was a quiet area. The only two negatives were 1. Lack of accessible outlets for charging. (Only two, none near the bed, so bring an extension cord.) and the exterior porch light was quite bright at night. We hung a towel over it and that helped. A clothesline or drying rack would be a great addition. We did not rent a car, and there are NO stores (not even fir a pack of gum) closer than 3 miles. So keep that in mind when you make plans.

This was the perfect location for myself and my young daughter. We wanted to spend lots of time outdoors, rather than visiting attractions. The property has everything you need for a relaxed beach vacation in very close proximity - 2 pools and a hot tub, a private beach, and two restaurants. The property is steps from the water and you wake up with gorgeous views of the sunrise. The unit was comfortable and well appointed, with a nice coffee station. It feels a lot like a hotel room. The host was helpful and responsive, and dropped off a garbage can and bags when I requested them. The beds are definitely full size, not queen. This did not turn out to be an issue for us, but it would have been a problem had we come with 4 people, as originally planned. I also wish there had been more towel-hanging areas (clothesline or drying rack outside) and more accessible electrical outlets (especially near the bed, where they are inaccessible due to a large furniture piece blocking them). The location was quiet and safe, and we did not encounter any rowdy spring-breakers or have any issues with noise. Hot tip - neither of the restaurants have ice cream (which seems like a big missed opportunity!!), but we found that the gift shop sells ice cream bars. ☺️ Thanks so much for the lovely and restful vacation opportunity!!!

Great spot for a fishing adventure with my son.

We would rent it again

The owner called us and said the day before we were suppose to fly out, that the air-conditioning broke. We had no choice, it was a little late to try and find another place, we said we would try the place. The place was very difficult to find. We arrived that night because our plane was delayed. The lighting in the place was horrible. When we woke up the next day, we called the woman and told her we couldn't stay there. It was dirty, cobwebs in the corners of the room by the floor. There was no beach. The pictures on the site were very deceiving. She said she would refund us ecept for the one night. She refunded us $213.00. It was suppose to be $468.00. I called and emailed her about the refund, she quite answering my calls and emails. Horrible place.

Nice view and clean room. It was missing a trash can and parking spots close to your room were minimal.
