2 Bedroom House in Ruskin

Welcome to BAYDREAM, your perfect getaway in the quiet bayside community of Little Harbor. This beautifully furnished canal-side townhome offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and the rare combination of sunrise and sunset views from its four private patios.



Wake up to peaceful mornings overlooking the canal and end your day watching boats glide across the Bay as the sun dips below the horizon. From your balconies, you may even spot dolphins and manatees playing in the water.



Prime Location

BAYDREAM is perfectly positioned within Little Harbor Resort—just 380 yards from the private beach and a short stroll to the resort’s two waterfront restaurants, Tiki bar, and heated community pool. Everything you need for a relaxing coastal retreat is right at your doorstep, so you can park the car and truly unwind.



Living Spaces

Step inside to a bright and open living area filled with Florida sunshine. The space features all-new, comfortable furnishings, including a queen-size sleeper sofa and a 65-inch Smart TV. Large windows and sliding doors connect the indoors to the patios, bringing the water views right into your living space.



Kitchen and Dining

The newly renovated kitchen is designed for both style and function, with stainless steel appliances, solid-surface Corian countertops, and plenty of space to prepare meals. The adjoining dining area seats six—perfect for shared breakfasts, family dinners, or evening card games.



Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Upstairs, the master suite features a private canal-side balcony, a king bed, and an elegant ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower. The second bedroom includes a fun twin-over-full bunk bed, its own bayside balcony, and a Smart TV—ideal for kids or extra guests. The third bedroom, located on the main level, offers a comfortable queen bed and convenient access to a full bathroom, making it a great option for anyone who prefers to avoid stairs.



Modern Comforts

This home has been thoughtfully updated with details that enhance your stay, including Smart TVs in multiple rooms, updated lighting and ceiling fans, and convenient USB outlets throughout. Free WiFi and streaming options make it easy to stay connected during your trip.



Outdoor Living

Enjoy four spacious patios—two facing east for sunrise and two facing west for sunset. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee, dining outdoors, or simply taking in the breeze, you’ll have a front-row seat to the beauty of the bay and canal.

Summary: Great place! Lots of amenities in the condo complex.Clean. Comforable.Plenty of towels and there were beach/pool towels.It would be nice if a few basics were provided such as, coffee filters, salt/pepper, basic spices, cooking spray, more than one trash bag (we did find another bag at the bottom of the can but we did not know that until the day we left and the paperwork said there will only be one bag so we were just using grocery bags once the can got full), hand soap in the kitchen and cleaning solution to clean off the counters after cooking.Lots of people fly in so a few of those things would be helpful so that clients don't have to buy items that they most likely won't be able to take home.The information provided in the welcome packet was helpful.My rating for communication with the property manager is a two because when we arrived at around 9PM,we could not find the WIFI PW posted in the house. It wasn't an emergency so I emailed the manager and asked if there is wifi in the unit. The response was,"There is!" Yes, technically my question was answered but that is poor customer service and is passive aggressive.I had to email back and ask for the network and PW.I did get a return email with the information but it also said,"All of this information can be found in your welcome packet." However, that is where I looked first. It was NOT in there and I checked multiple times.I found that response to be rude.Just provide the info to the paying customer.No need to be snarky.
