Casa Johnson stands along one of the sandy backroads north of San Pedro, a brightly painted elevated home typical of the island’s hurricane-resilient architecture. The structure’s sweeping exterior staircase and open upper-level deck reflect a style common to private residences and small guest properties built for cross-breezes and views toward the Caribbean Sea. Homes in this area of Ambergris Caye often sit on raised foundations to protect against storm surge and seasonal flooding, a practical requirement on the low-lying island. The neighborhood around Casa Johnson has grown steadily over the past two decades, transitioning from scattered beachfront lots into a mix of long-term residences, rental units, and small locally owned businesses that line the northern approach to San Pedro.
