Great house for a big group!
Beautiful home for a large group! Booking through Clearwater Vacation Homes was the best decision! We were in town for our daughter's wedding and our whole family was within 3 houses of each other! Clean and so nicely decorated!

Very quiet in the neighborhood. Backyard is a private oasis. If you need to relax, this is the place.

Wonderful place to stay!
Really enjoyed our stay and definitely want to book again! Spacious, updated, and clean, with everything we needed. Game room was fun and pool area was perfect. Very comfortable beds and nice living room with large TV for movie nights. Short walk to the beach. Highly recommend!

Lisa and their party were a joy to host. The property was left in wonderful condition. Welcome back to Johnny's Beach Hideaway anytime!
5 Stars – Exceptional Beach Vacation Home!We had a wonderful stay at this property! The home was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing beach vacation. The game room was a fantastic bonus and a big hit with the kids, providing hours of entertainment.The location was excellent, with the beach and numerous restaurants just a short walk away. It was incredibly convenient to have so many options within walking distance.The host was extremely communicative, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.Overall, this property exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-appointed beach getaway and would gladly stay here again!
I will say the house was very clean! Definitely appreciated the cleanliness ,Lots of room for 3 adults and 2 littles! the pool is in bit of rough shape could use a good repaint and new concrete along the sides so no one trips, we were a bit disappointed there was no firewood for a fire as they advise in picture a fire , so be prepared to grab wood at the store while your out, also the string lights didn’t automatically turn on, you have to find the solar panels and turn on for the ambiance, other than that everything was great! Also they need to replace beach chairs and umbrella , umbrella was unusable and a few beach chairs were already broken so we couldn’t use them.

LORI and their party were a joy to host. The property was left in wonderful condition. Welcome back to Johnny's Beach Hideaway anytime!
Johnny's Beach Hideaway was a very welcome retreat after spending two very busy weeks in Orlando. Check-in was very smooth and the property was clean. The villa was very well equipped, we had everything we needed to cook at home and have BBQ’s. The beach was only a 5 min walk, the garage had everything you’d need to be comfortable at the beach including parasols, chairs and a wagon. I’d highly recommend checking out some of the local places like Hurricane Eddies, Grove Cafe and Guppy’s, all a short walk away. The host was quick to respond when we had questions and even allowed us a late checkout before our flight. The only thing to be aware of is that this property backs onto the nature reserve which makes for a nice setting, but brings bugs in the evening, stock up on bug spray especially if planning on using the hammock. Overall cannot recommend this place enough, we look forward to hopefully returning in the near future.

Liam was a delight. Stayed for 7 nights with no issues whatsoever. Would gladly host again in the future.
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.

Sue stayed for 14 nights and left the place in perfect condition. Communicative and respectful throughout. Hope to see you again!
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 !
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.

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!
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.
