We enjoyed our time staying here! A beautiful townhouse with plenty of room for everyone to relax. The amenities are great! You will definitely enjoy your stay here!
We had an amazing stay! The communication from the owner was excellent from start to finish, which made everything seamless and stress-free. The property itself is beautiful, extremely clean, and the beds were so comfortable. We especially loved the thoughtful touches like the coffee pods and creamer, and spent so much time enjoying the pool area and nearby beach both just a short walk away. There’s also a great local restaurant within walking distance, which was a huge plus. The cherry on top was the stunning sunset views right from the balcony. absolutely unforgettable. We would definitely stay here again
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!
I have rented many homes over the years and this was one of the best. Beautifully decorated, extremely clean and every detail attended to. The management company truly works to make your stay perfect. I would definitely recommend.
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.
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.
