Fantastic hideaway
So friendly. Great experience. Loved our little cabin. The pool area was nice as well and we would sit in the water at sun down. Hope to get back there.

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 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.

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.

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.
