Short stay

We stayed from Sunday to Saturday! Called Manager Sunday told them shower wasn't working. Never received reply. The security light comes on at 7:00 at night and stays on till 7:30 a.m. no way to turn it off. So . Looks like the lights are on very hard to sleep! I'm a positive note. The hot tub was nice and we saw dolphins in the morning

We had a really good time at our Ruskin property. Nice pool great restaurants and easy beautiful scenery! We could walk to any of our destinations at Little Harbor. The only negative is the condo is very small and we did get tired of being in such a small space. Otherwise, great time!

Quality Time

Surprised my husband with a quick, kid free wk end. We enjoyed watching the dolphins and manatees in the water. The restaurants and pools was a great added bonus. We had an absolutely great time. It was just what we both needed. We will definitely be back. Thanks, Marilin, for your quick responses. Your place was decorated well and very clean. Location was amazing too.

Decent room for the price

I've stayed at this motel a few times for business. Its main advantage is the location—very convenient for work, with beautiful water views on both the bay and river sides of the property. The highlight is definitely the two waterfront tiki bars and the on-site restaurant, which create a relaxing atmosphere after a long day.The rooms are all about the same size—clean but dated. Some have been updated, but others are still quite old. The bathrooms in particular leave a lot to be desired: they’re small, with outdated fixtures and an awkward shower design. You can’t turn on the water without getting wet at this particular room. Be prepared—this is more of a motel setup, not a full-service hotel. There’s no coffee or breakfast provided, so plan to bring your own or go out to eat.While the nightly rate seems low, there are additional fees (like cleaning, hosting and taxes) that add up quickly. Also, be aware that bookings are non-refundable. I originally booked for three nights but only needed two due to a change in plans—and unfortunately, I had to pay for all three.Overall, if it weren't for the view and the on-site tiki bars, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. But if location and a laid-back atmosphere are your priorities, it might be worth considering—with realistic expectations.

The BEST place to stay outside of Tampa.

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!
