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 !
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.
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.
The game room was a hit with the 3 and 8 year old. Also loved that there is an alarm that can be turned on and off at the door to the pool. Wish the pool had been heated for just a week or two into May. It was cooold the first three days. The kitchen was well stocked with all the things one needs. Great to have a wagon and chairs to take to the beach too. Not sure if the chairs were left by previous tenants but it was a game changer. Would have loved to have beach towels too. Yiu can’t really pack those if not checking luggage, and not sure why those couldn’t be provided, and charged for if taken or lost. Short walk to the beach which is beautiful and not very crowded. Beds were comfortable, pillows so-so. Great communication. Would rent there again!
