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.

Beautiful Place

After talking about a Florida vacation for many years, we finally decided there was no time like the present. We have family in the Tampa area, so we wanted a place within a reasonable distance. Keller's Dockside was absolutely perfect in every way. Plenty of space for the 5 of us. The kids loved their room with the bunk beds, and I loved that we had our own bathrooms. The views were spectacular and I loved seeing the dolphins in the harbor and the boats going in and out from the marina. If we ever plan a trip to the Tampa area again, we won't hesitate to book here again.

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!

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.

Lovely Townhome

Awesome property! The townhome was very clean and neat when we arrived. The host had a ton of snacks ready for our family to enjoy and even some free samples of different toiletry items. We loved that all the rooms had access to a balcony with seating, some towards the waterway and some toward the front of the townhome. I loved that all bathrooms had a large soaking tub and detachable spray nozzle, the kids loved the bunk beds and TV in their room. Plenty of room for our 4 adults and 4 kids The pool was very nice, though a bit of a walk and restaurant next door Hooks was delicious. The beach did have some signs saying no swimming but we took a drive over to St Pete and enjoined the beaches. Do check out the drive in movie theater, it was very cool!

Haven in Little Harbor

I've been coming to Ruskin several times a year for 10 years, and this property and the way it is managed is the best I've experienced in Little Harbor. The townhouse is as advertised. It's clean, well furnished, well provisioned and in a great location. Kendra Keller is a top shelf professional as the property manager. She's organized, timely, helpful, very responsive; yet isn't overbearing.
