A quick weekend getaway
We had a lovely relaxing stay. Our cottage was very pretty and big enough for our needs. It has a lovely small yard for our little dog. It is surprisingly private and quiet. The pool was lovely. The dock is so peaceful and a surprising little oasis. We loved our stay.

Great get away. Private dwellings are very, very hard to find. We noticed everything was recently updated and in great shape. Low key atmosphere and hanging out on the river front deck made this an awesome place to stay

We enjoy coming here every year. It's very relaxing and we love having our own cottage when we come to visit the grandkids. I don't want to say too much more because I don't want it to be sold out next time I come! Seriously though, it's a great setting.

Great Local Family Owned and Operated Bungalows
Pirate's Pointe Resort was the perfect location for us while visiting family nearby! This cozy bungalow felt very "Florida" in the best way, bright colors and beautiful lush landscaping. We also really enjoyed being able to walk out on the dock to view the beautiful surrounding areas on the water. Owners Tammie and Tom go above and beyond in making sure your stay is comfortable and even made an effort to check in with us during our stay. You can tell that they put a lot of effort and care into this local family owned and operated establishment. We would definitely stay here again when in town.

We stayed here 2 nights and absolutely loved the serene quiet environment. There is a beautiful pool and also a nice quit deck on the river with plenty of seating options. The rooms were super clean, newly decorated with everything you need. Tammy and Tom were very nice hosts and do a great job making you feel welcome. I would stay here again.

Cute cottage in Ruskin, Fl
We stayed in 1835. The decor was so cute! We loved sitting down by the water on the areas they had for guest to relax. They only improvement was a more comfortable couch for the living room. We were busy during the day but wanted to watch tv to relax at night. The room itself was clean especially the bathroom. We really enjoyed our stay.

Exceeded our expectations. We were in a remodeled cottage. Bigger than I thought it would be. With one queen bed and full kitchen and pull out sofa and nice big bathroom.. So cute and clean with an outdoor little patio area with privacy fencing. Pull right up to your front door. Ice and snacks in the office for cheap. Cute clean pool. Not crowded Fishing pier with covered shady areas. So nice! Nice owners!

Our stay was wonderful. We were in the one-bedroom cottage right by the river. It was a beautifully decorated place, clean, nicely furnished, and the kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, pots and pans, cutlery, etc. PLUS there was a wonderful private patio and a big shade tree. All our good intentions for getting out on Saturday were lost as we relaxed out there! After a hectic week, it was lovely to kick back and enjoy the peace and quiet.

This is such a cute little resort. It has all that you need if not ask Tammy and she will help you. It is a circular drive of individual bungalow type places. We stayed in a king size studio place. It was very clean and spacious. It has lots of windows to let in sunlight. Has shades to close at night. They have a pool in the complex. There is a dock that has places where you can sit and enjoy the river area. They have canoes that you can rent for very inexpensive. It is in a very quiet secluded area. We will definitely return again.
