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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Julie & Mark Campbell

Host profile image
We live in Indiana but just love Florida. While visiting earlier, we began looking for property to purchase for future use. We stayed at the hotel here in The Resort & Club at Little Harbor and fell in love with this area. The rest is history and here we are.

Why they chose this property

We chose this community because it truly is a quiet, private, off the beaten path treasure. A hidden gem if you will!

What makes this property unique

The benefits are awesome here. You can do as much or as little as you like. The area offers tranquility yet is within 1/2 to 1 1/2 hours of everything. Busch Gardens, Adventure Water Park, Lego Land, Disney, Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, and all Tampa and St. Pete have to offer, shopping, restaurants, theater, golf, airports, outlets, etc. It is right on Tampa Bay and has incredible sunsets and absolutely amazing weather.
