About this property

Waterfront Little Harbor. Keller’s Dockside - walk to the beach!

Welcome to Keller's Dockside! We are waterfront and dog friendly (w/pet fee, sorry, no cats) townhome with amazing views and on property dog park! We sleep 10 in beds and are a private beach resort community.

All townhomes are not created equal at Little Harbor. We have no extra person fees or extra management fees. We are also at a premium location with a short walk to the pools and beach.

Enjoy waterfront views from the two back private balconies, and enjoy the resort view from the front two balconies. We often spot dolphins while sitting on the back balconies! This townhome is beautifully decorated with a calming beach theme and well maintained throughout.

Keller's Dockside is a three bedroom, three bath townhome located in the fishing mecca of Little Harbor, a 125 acre Carribbean inspired waterfront community with a private 1/2 mile exclusive beach on Tampa Bay and surrounded by direct Gulf access waterways. You will be close to everything but far enough away from it all.

This unit is less than a 5 minute walk to the beach, or it is 1 minute by car. It is also that close to the two onsite restaurants and waterfront tiki bar and two swimming pools.

There is a ring doorbell camera at the front door.

Perfect Escape

This was the perfect spot for our family. Plenty of room for us, our 3 kids and our mother in law. Quiet. Beautiful sunrises and even more beautiful sunsets! The restaurants and pools on site were great! Communication with the owner was always quick, and they were always responsive to ensure a great experience. Would highly recommend!

Great Location and Host!

We have family who live in Ruskin and wanted to celebrate an early Christmas with them but we didn't want to stay in hotel rooms, so we booked this townhouse in the Apollo Beach area. The hostess, Kendra, was wonderful. Great communication and she made the check in process so easy! The condo's kitchen is fully equipped and the living area and dining room was spacious enough for everyone. The views were lovely. Oh, and we also appreciated all the holiday touches, including an adorable Beach themed Christmas tree!

Saved in Ruskin

After an unsatisfactory booking to start our vacation VRBO saved the remainder of our stay. They were very understanding and helped us rebook in a beautiful place. No need to discuss the first condo. But to praise the the one we spent the rest of our time. It was beautiful and had anything you could possibly want or need. I would recommend this condo and the VRBO staff for making our trip memorable!

Best Condo in Little Harbor

What a wonderful place to stay! Convenient to the restaurants and amenities in Little Harbor and well stocked with extras like coffee and snacks. It has beautiful water views from the rear decks and it fully equipped for an extended family like ours. The host is very reasonable and responsive. We loved our stay!

Great Family Vacation!

Loved this property and community. The townhome was so clean and had so many extras to make us feel at home. The pool was nice and everyone loved the beach. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer.

Beautiful home!

The home was beautiful, and the location was great. Unfortunately, we did not get to enjoy the place like we would have wanted to due to Tropical Storm Debby. We were looking forward to walking to the little bar and having some drinks, walking to the beach in the morning, and relaxing in the pool. Hopefully, we can return when there is better weather.

Why they chose this property

Our home away from home is our pride and joy. :) We live on 10 acres nearby, but we have our two units in Little Harbor to enjoy when we need a break from farm life and we need Vitamin Sea. We take pride in our home and love sharing it with others.
