We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Paradiso. The check-in process was easy and smooth. The cottage was clean and stocked with anything we might need. Being across the street from the beach access was handy so we didn't have to fight to find and pay for beach parking. We walked to John's Pass Village multiple times for shopping and dining. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful beach cottage!
This is our first time staying and the cottage is perfect, and so close to the beach. There are kayaks, SUP boards, and a fire pit. Management is responsive and friendly if you have any questions. We hope to be back again soon!

It's fantastic that the kayaks, SUP boards, and fire pit added to your experience. Our team is always here to assist with any questions. We hope to welcome you back for another amazing visit soon!
We loved this little cottage and how close it was to the beach and Johns Pass shopping. The interior was clean, pretty and comfortable. Our only complaint inside was that the beds are very hard. The grounds could use some work and the firepit wouldn't light. Bummer. My only other suggestion (and complained about by other guests) is that the pool maintenance come three times a week and in between a lot of debris and insects collect the pool, so it would be perfect if there were a skimmer onsite to clean it up before use. The management is very prompt at answering questions as well. Overall, a very nice place to stay and I would recommend it to others.

Spring break family of 5
There was a lot of great things about this stay, a few inconveniences. So the positives.. the location was great. Not far from the beach, a quick walk to John’s pass to help avoid parking fees. The house was cute and clean. I was worried about it being spring break and our area feeling packed, but it wasn’t. The pool is super small, but my boys still enjoyed it.
The only inconveniences I have was the laundry. We typically keep our stuff washed to have to avoid going home with a dirty laundry and keep our beach towels clean. There is a laundry area, it was just a pain to have to have to pay for it and need to have quarters. Also there were no laundry baskets in the house so trying to find ways to carry the laundry across the way was inconvenient. Other than that everything else was great!

Thank you for your feedback, Jessi. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the great location and found the house cute and clean. It's fantastic that your boys had fun at the pool and that the area wasn't crowded during spring break. We appreciate your feedback regarding the laundry facilities. We'll explore more convenient solutions, including the possibility of providing laundry baskets for easier transportation. We hope the positives outweighed the inconveniences and look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay!
My husband, daughter, and grandson stayed in Villa Paridiso for a long weekend during March. We found the location so handy to John’s Pass and the h by villa was so quaint. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location, plenty beds and spacious bedrooms, cold AC. Would recommend. Only thing is the power went out in a couple rooms and we had to reset the breaker, and more bathroom supplies (hand soap, body wash, shampoo) would have been nice

Wonderful beach vacation
Island Paradise was awesome! We stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage and I was very clean, spacious and fun! Very close to the beach and Johns pass, my kids like to fish and there is a spot across the street to canal fish. We had a lot of fun the pool as a swim jet which was hours of fun for the kids.

Great location in a lovely Florida town
This was a perfect location in a lovely Florida town. We loved the fire pit and pool area at our cottage. We made some great new friends sitting around the community area of this resort. We also loved that the beach plus John’s pass was in walking distance. The cottage had all the necessary amenities of home. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at island paradise!!

The property was recently updated, was clean and decorated in a beachy and modern feel. The neighborhood was quiet and the outdoor pool and space was enjoyable. We wished we had more time to hang out by the firepit at night. The kitchen had the basics and the beds were comfortable. We will definitely come here again.
The property was exactly as described. Clean, updated and spacious. Good for several couples, or a larger family with kids. The pool was nice and clean. Our neighbors in the other cottages were friendly! Would stay again!
I was so pleased with our stay! The villa’s decor was beautiful! Everything we needed was at our fingertips. We had access to bikes, beach chairs, paddle boards, and much more! I could not have been happier! Wonderful place!
The property grounds were just as pictured. The atmosphere was calm and inviting and house #3 was cozy and spotless. I absolutely loved having the garage full of 'toys' to play with. We took the kayaks out and rode bikes around the neighborhood. I will be booking a stay here again in the near future.

Beach stay
We really enjoyed our stay in the Villa Paradiso.. It was a cute little place tucked right off the street. Only about 5 min walk to beach. Close to walk to restaurants, ice cream, and many shops. We did have an issue when we arrived with the code not working, but the batteries was dead in lock. However they was very quick to come out and change it and get us in our place.

Not as described...
Unfortunately the Island Paradise Cottages are not as described or pictured. So unfortunate as the property could be great with better management. Upon arrival the unit/Villa Paradiso was missing furniture, mismatched stained bedding, chipping paint, filthy everywhere and the porch looked like a crime scene. The pool was not heated and described in listing and was freezing. The pool area was a dirty disaster. A caretaker popped in for a second and peeked around-never lifted a finger to clean a thing. Was literally onsite for less than 5 minutes. The property had not been cleaned in a decade.
The property could be so cute and it's proximity to beach and town is nice, but the other guests also complained of the mess and dirt other than the guy smoking weed at the pool, he thought it was fine.
Excellent stay at villa paradiso. Location was perfect with bars and restaurants on your doorstep and the beach just down the road. Villa was very spacious and well maintained and came with so many extras. I would highly recommend this rental.
We rented 3-Villa Paradiso as a family of 6. The location was great, it is within walking distance to restaurants & shopping and a 5 min walk to the beach. We loved the outdoor fire pit, grill and Tiki-hut for dining and relaxing in the evenings. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and having a laundry room available was nice to wash towels mid- week. The pool is small but clean. The garage stocked with beach chairs, coolers, paddle boards & bikes was one of our favorite things about Island Paradise. Overall great place to stay, we would rent again.

Cute place. Nice location within walking distance to everything. Only thing was I was not clean at all. I had to call because the floors were filthy not mopped or swept . Wrappers under the beds the walls had coffee stains on them . The cleaners didn't do a good job at all. Get new good cleaners and I would come back. Otherwise nice and roomy and comfortable. Liked that it had Roku. The pool is very small too. But it was a fun vacation.

We take cleaning very seriously. Sorry for any inconvienence. Thank you for your honest feedback. This information is very helpful. We will work to take care of those items right away. We always have guest services available and the cleaners are happy to return.
One thing would help if they did provide small bottles of shampoo, conditioner and bath gel would be a great plus. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this place. Great location! I like to travel light so having to bring extra stuff can be a nuisance and a lot of stores don't always carry small bottles of stuff.
