My husband and I had a wonderful time at Leo’s Hideaway for the week! The only gripe we had was when we took a shower we hardly had any hot water we ended up taking mostly cold showers,other than that everything was good.

The house was as described in the description. Easy lock to enter the house. The house was very clean. I had expected it to possibly have a pet odor since it is a pet friendly place. There was no pet odor at all and the place was spotless. The location was a big plus. The Carousel grocery store is behind the property. You can see the beach and beautiful green space behind this property’s fenced in yard. Thomas Donuts is in walking distance which we enjoyed on a couple of occasions. The pool was perfect for the whole family especially for the grandkids. We all enjoyed the open space of the backyard where kids had fun running around and playing. We felt like we had our own private space. The gas grill was a wonderful convenience the first night we arrived for grilling hamburgers and hotdogs. We will consider staying at this place again for another family beach vacation.

Reviewer Comments:
We checked in Saturday to a pool covered in algae and it took four days to get it fixed (we were credited $257 for the inconvenience). Once we were able to get in the pool the last three days of our stay, the water was over 90 degrees as the pool is very small. The total house is very small and the online pictures are quite misleading in regards to true size of the rooms of the house, backyard & pool.
5.0 / 5.0
This house is amazing!! We loved our stay at Leo's Hideaway. The pool is awesome, with very nice chairs and pool toys, and the yard is huge with a great fire pit and chairs.
The beach is so close to the house, and the road you cross to get to the beach was easy to cross. The beach was absolutely beautiful, with clear water and white sand, and we didn't find it to be too busy as it is located a good distance away from all the big hotels.
The location is great, being steps to the beach, donut shop, and small grocery store and liquor store which both had surprisingly good prices.
We loved so many things about this house, other than the fantastic location. The grill was very large and had 2 propane tanks. The screened in porch was such a nice area to sit and have dinner. The beds were super comfy, and the bunkbeds were great for the kids. The house was equipped with SO MANY towels, and had a good variety of kitchen items. The beach cart, beach umbrellas, and beach chairs were great quality and in excellent condition.
We did have an issue with the dryer, but the property management team responded to us right away, and sent someone out to fix it within a couple of hours.
We loved our stay at Leo's Hideaway, and would definitely return in the future. What a fantastic property!

The place is in a perfect location and the we found it to be very clean. The beds were all comfortable. Just know the bathrooms are small. One is so small you can barely move in it. We had issues with having hot water and thought it was resolved but it would still come and go. Which is annoying. Two chairs by the fire pit were broken and one by the pool was too. There were plenty of chairs to use to take to the beach, but there were a lot of junky chairs and rusty wagons that just need to be removed from the back yard. The pool was the perfect size and just lovely. Overall we had a great trip minus the hot water issue which was attempted to be fixed.

Visited at the end of April with my family (2 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 young kids age 2 and 4). What a nice little escape. Right across the street from the beach, a nice heated pool and huge backyard, also set far back from the road which was really nice. We liked the location a lot because it wasn’t far from Panama City and just a short drive to places like Rosemary beach and seaside. The beds were comfortable. Our favorite area was the back porch. Enjoyed eating our meals back there. The pool was nice, it has a little shelf for sitting in the water and for little ones to play without being too deep. The common area was small for our family of 6, just a small kitchen/family room combo, so we didn’t spend a ton of time in the house hanging out. Also just a heads up, the fire alarm is in the kitchen, so if you create any smoke (think bacon or burgers or even sauteeing veggies), it’ll get set off. We would just flap a towel under the alarm and it would stop chiming; also cooking with the door open helped too. Just some house quirks. Nothing that would prevent us from returning. Overall, had a lovely stay and would return again when in the area next.

❤️ love ❤️ the location of the property!!! The house was clean and well stocked kitchen for cooking during the week! Very convenient to grocery and the beach being walking distance!!My only recommendation is seating around fire pit needs replaced as many chairs were broken. And maybe not every chair out there be an Adirondack type, not comfy for fire pit!The pool was amazing!

Our Family has loved beach trips in the Laguna Beach area each year, Most years 2 times a year!. Staying in this immediate area over 15 years. Renting same 2 houses year after year just blocks away, but this year chose to stay at Leo's Hideaway, first time. The house was very nice for 6 adults, 2 dogs and 2 grandchildren. We loved the pool and fenced back yard!! Will be staying here again and again! Enjoyed this house !! To Owners, thanks for sharing!

Great location, newer pool, dog friendly and the right amount of space for us. Stayed for 3 weeks this spring as we did last year. Had a couple mechanical issues, no fault to management but they were quickly resolved. Cleaning could have been slightly better but we always do a once over when we arrive. Enjoy Leo’s and plan to stay again next year.

Leo's Hideaway has everything that we wanted
in a beach house! It was close to the beach and the Carousel Grocery Store. It was very comfortable and had a well equipped kitchen. The beds were great. The beach house was very quiet and had a great screened in porch to listen to the ocean and watch the beautiful sunsets. Our furbabies loved the fenced in yard. We would definitely rent Leo's Hideaway again. Thank you for making our stay wonderful!

Took my family to Leo’s hideaway for Labor Day weekend and it was an amazing experience. The property management group was very responsive when I elected to have the pool heated the day of check-in. The property was clean and in close proximity to the beach. The pool was really nice and the house is close to several restaurants. It is also minutes away, which made it really convenient.
5.0 / 5.0
The rental far surpassed my expectations. Every aspect was perfect. Seamless checkin and communication. The house was perfect for our needs and preferences. A short walk or ride to the beach which was never busy. A quiet neighborhood but not too far from our favorite things to do. Zero complaints! Hope to return ASAP.

The house was even better than the pictures. It was spotless clean, the perfect size, and the back porch, pool, and fire pit were perfect for finishing out the day after the beach. The area is quiet and low-key. The beach is not crowded at all. The house had plenty of chairs, umbrellas, and beach wagon for easy walk to the beach. The grocery store around the corner had anything you might have forgotten. Plus donuts were around the other corner. Will definitely keep this one on our short list.

Leo’s Hideaway is the BEST place we’ve ever stayed. The house was very clean (seriously, not even dust on the blinds!). The private yard, pool, grill, and screened in porch are perfect for gathering and relaxing! The home is fully equipped, has plenty of bedrooms, and the amenities of a full size washer and dryer is all you need! The beach is very close and easily accessible. You’re tucked away just enough for privacy but so close to everything! We will definitely be coming back!

The house was perfectly located near the beach by about a 2 min walk from the beach. It is tucked back where you enjoy privacy with a great pool and fenced in backyard for our dog. A nice screened in porch good for eating or just relaxing. The house was very clean. This is a great little spot and we will be staying here again.

Perfect bests describes our stay so much we booked again for next year for an additional week. Hosts and staff were excellent in responding to all our questions promptly. Amenities, location, and housing was one of the overall better stays we’ve been to. Beach was in our sights and was less than a city block for easy access. We so hated to leave but we were blessed to have stayed. Thanks to the owners for a little slice of paradise.

Very nice little spot- really close to the beach and can easily walk to the beach, over to the supermarket or the donut shop. The home was very clean and had everything that we needed. The kids enjoyed the pool, of course. Easy communication. I would rent again.

This was the perfect rental for our family vacation. The house has a great layout and the fenced in backyard was perfect for our pups. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and coming back to swim in the pool. Outside shower was definitely a plus! Walking distance to the Carousel grocery store and Thomas Doughnuts. Overall we loved it and are already talking about booking it again!!!
*The only suggestions we would make is the back screen door could use a new handle. It wouldn't stay closed with the breeze so we had to use a rock as a doorstop so the pups wouldn't get out. Another suggestion is maybe some lattice under the pool deck to help secure the area from rental dogs going under there. Both very minor concerns but worth mentioning - still wouldn't stop us from staying there again.

My mother, her Yorkie, and my two daughters (7 and 4) took a girls trip to Leo’s Hideaway! There was plenty of space for the four of us. The girls loved the bunk bed room. I also appreciated that the bunks and the master were on a different side of the house then my mom’s room. It gave us privacy and we did not disturb each other in the morning. The pool was SO nice to have for the girls. It isn’t very big but for their size, it was perfect. The beach would wear them out quickly and this was a great way to keep them entertained while the adults were able to chat and relax. The girls would jump in the pool first thing every morning. It was a quick walk to the beach. The beach chairs and wagon that were provided were great. We also used the outdoor shower every day we came back from the beach. We also took advantage of the quick walk to the Carousel market and Thomas’s Donuts.

Leo’s hideaway was just what we needed after this last crazy pandemic year. Location is stellar, far enough away from the PCB crowds, central to exploring 30A, several great state and other park in the vicinity, a 2 minute walk to a gorgeous beach, close to Carousel market and Thomas donuts. The dogs loved the large fenced yard and hanging out on the pool deck. The house is equipped with most things that you will need, beds are comfy, inside, while sparse in decor (eg, no couch pillows, no games or books to use, etc) due to Covid, was clean and comfortable. Porch needs some cleaning and organizing and there were a few other minor repairs, cleaning needs and other updates which were shared as suggestions to the property manager, who I have no doubt will follow up. Booking and trip related questions were promptly answered by the helpful property managers. We would return, we enjoyed our 2 weeks at Leo’s!
1.5 / 5.0
this is a cute house we loved it but it stinks like wet dog, the property is ANIMAL FRIENDLY so don't get me wrong, we knew that going in, but the couch stinks very bad and will leave you wearing pet hair. The carpet even smells like wet dog. More cleaning needs to be done to cover the pet hair and the nasty smell. I have learned my lesson and will never take the chance on getting a house that is pet friendly.
2.5 / 5.0
This property was fantastic for our weekend getaway! The house was well equipped with most everything needed to cook meals and enjoy the weekend. The kids loved the pool! The house is located a short walk to the beach and is in a great neighborhood with a cute market and bakery/ice creamery down the street. We will definitely try to make it back here again!
