Wonderful location with pool. Amazing access to so many great restaurants and the beach. This was our second stay at this property and would stay here again.
The property was very well situated within a few blocks of bars, restaurants n the beach. The house’s accommodations were great especially the heated pool facing the canal and Alan was very helpful and responsive when asked. He was so great we have already booked with him for 2026!
The location was great just a short walk to the beach even for the youngest in our party. It was great that there were beach chairs umbrellas and a beach wagon on the premises to use. The house was spacious enough for the 10 of us everyone loved the pool and the fire pit. I would like to thank Alan for all the assistance and the great time we would definitely like to come back next year

Excellent Location!! It is really 3 "steps" from the beach!!
The property is not so good, and more light on the backyard would be helpful to enjoy evenings. But they have chairs, a beach car and umbrellas, and a nice pool so that part is covered.
If you're looking for a short walk to the beach, this is the place. If you like a retro home this is the place. They should really update this place for the price they are asking. It was very clean and comfortable. However the fenced in back yard is only accessible from the side of the house, about 20 feet from door to gate is not fenced in. Once you enter the backyard it IS a little slice of heaven. Pool and sanded area are very nice. Although we never used the pool. We did not go outside in the back at all after dawn as it butts a conservation pond and without a pool cage the mosquitos are vicious. We contacted the property manager with requests of changing location with a few major dislikes. The only one available did have a pool cage but we were informed one of the top screens needs to be replaced. (THEN FIX IT!) Overall plenty of room for a large family, all the basics are provided. We ended up leaving 2 nights earlier than we booked. I give it a 3* rating

Wonderful, relaxing vacation in a beautiful, comfortable, home.
Johnny’s Beach Hideaway is a beautiful, immaculate home within a very short walk to the beach. The pool area has a very tropical feel to it and was more popular with the grandchildren than the beach.
The beds were extremely comfortable. We all enjoyed the open plan kitchen and living area.
There was plenty of room for the whole family and we all loved our vacation in this comfortable home.
Hosts were super helpful. The walk to the beach is very short and cute childrens park with mangrove boardwalk just as close in opposite direction. Definitely dream beach getaway for us. This was our first online house rental and I was fearful of a long list of to do's for check out and we basically had to put the trash out, so another !
The house is in a great location with a very short walk to the beach and a lovely walkable neighborhood that has a park with tennis/pickleball courts. The interior of the house is open concept and is completely updated. The extra "game" room was a bonus to use as an office for my husband who needed to work a few days. The bedrooms/baths are not large and only 2 baths, but overall a great place to stay. The host was very responsive when we had some questions.

Amazing House in a Great Location
Just spent 8 nights in this amazingly located gem of a house. Literally a block from beach access that was never crowded. We had a mix of young children to 70+ year old's. All of the amenity's were amazing, warm pool, mini arcade games that everyone had a blast with. Kitchen was perfect for large family meals and late night fires were enjoyed by all. Will stay here again when in the area. Hit up nearby Crabby Bills and Frenchy's Rockaway Grille for great food with amazing views and fun bands.
Amazing location, nice space to share ( we had 8 people). Nice outside area with fire pit and pool. Being so close to the beach made it easy and didn’t need vehicles. That being said, we arrived with 8 people for an entire week and had a total of 4 rolls of toilet paper, 2 garbage bags, a couple of laundry pods, no kitchen extras like foil, seasonings other than salt. We are from out of state so having to buy these items was an inconvenience and added expense that I have never experienced in another vrbo. There was a few lawn chairs, a beach chair and a wagon which was nice for hauling things to the beach.
Place was great and the property manager was awesome and super helpful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone especially with kids. The pool was great to come home to after the beach as well as late night swims.

Nicely updated, convenient location, and short walk to the beach
We had such a great stay! The property was newly remodeled, beautifully furnished, and just a short walk to the beach. It’s located close to tons of great restaurants, but also has everything you need to cook in if you’d rather stay in.
With 4 spacious bedrooms and three pull-out couches, it easily sleeps more than 10 people comfortably—perfect for larger families or groups.
The game room was a huge hit with our kids—they loved having their own space to hang out and play. And the outdoor pool and backyard area were clean, well-kept, and made for relaxing afternoons in the sun.
We’d definitely stay here again—it really has it all!
This house was perfect for a family with kids, nice location, short walk to the beach, nice swimming pool, and excellent restaurants! The kids loved the park too!
