🏡 Watch Manatees and Dolphin play in the canal or gaze across the mangrove forest all from your multiple back balconies. Your time at Mangrove Magic can be a relaxing and romantic seaside getaway or a fun filled and action packed exploration of all the wonderful amenities that Little Harbor Resort has to offer. A white sandy beach, sunset tiki bar, two pools, and exercise room, and two waterside restaurants await your arrival.
Join one of the boat clubs in the Marina and pick your ride for the day or self propel with kayak or paddle board rentals. Day trips include lots of golf, parks and nature trails, or maybe a short trip over the Skyway bridge some shopping and dining in St. Pete Beach. Our favorite is Pass-A-Grille and the Red, White, and Booze restaurant right on the inter-coastal waterway.
Immerse yourself in the inviting ambiance of our communal heated pool, where you can soak up the sun and unwind in style. Feel the cool, refreshing water caress your skin as you embrace the tranquility of this oasis. Indulge in the beauty of beach access just steps away, where pristine sands and shimmering waves await your arrival. Take leisurely walks along the shore, bask in the sun's gentle warmth, and let the rhythmic sound of the ocean soothe your soul.
