The heated pool was great. The kids loved it. The kitchen and bedrooms were well supplied. The host responded immediately. The location was great, less than a block from the beach, and close to numerous restaurants and shops.It was a very pleasant stay.

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.

Wonderful vacation home
My family and I really enjoyed the house for our stay. The pictures don't do justice for how nice and spacious the home is inside. The home has plenty of room for large families. The backyard is wonderful and the newly installed shade roof is a really nice place to sit during the day. The backyard is nice and sheltered from the wind so its a great place to be when its too windy at the beach. The pool is a bit rough, it took its share of abuse from the hurricanes but is still a nice place for a swim.
What's also nice is that the house is dog friendly. There is a chain link fence along the back of the property and fences down each side so our dog really enjoyed exploring around the yard. Plus there is a dog park a block away.
The house is close to the beach while still being close walking distance to the restaurants.
I would recommend staying at this home. We plan on it!

Matthew and their group of 4 were wonderful. Clean, quiet, and great with communication. Highly recommended! On a side note, the pool is in talks to be replaced. The hurricanes did the damage and costs were high to get the home back after so the pool was put off a little longer.
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.

Julie made hosting easy. Respectful of the space, followed all the rules, and left things in perfect shape. Thank you for a great stay!
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 !

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.

That’s so great to hear! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay and that you love the location as much as we do. Thanks for trusting us — can’t wait to have you back for the next beach getaway!
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.

Nikki made hosting a breeze! She was super respectful of the space, followed all the rules, and left everything spotless. Thanks a bunch for a great stay! I just wanted to mention the items she mentioned the home didn’t have. We do mention that in our listing, contract, and check-in info. We never want to surprise anyone!
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.

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!

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.

Thanks so much, Jared ! It was great having you as our guests!
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!
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!
