    Check was wonderful. Kitchen facilities were good. It could easily feed 17. Wi-Fi access was good. Transport was fine. We had our own cars but to go to the beach we walked across the street.

    House was perfectly located with easy access to the beach. Family of 15 could easily spread out. Bedrooms were spacious. We spent most of our time out by the pool and hot tube; or beach. The littles loved the wading pool. Robin, property manager, was great and quick to respond to questions. Thanks for a great relaxing family vacation!

    Spacious, rooms for every family. Great pool and outdoor area. Open floor plan kitchen, dining and living room. Out the back gate and just few steps to an amazing beach. Would definitely rent again. Thanks for a wonderful week!

    We had a wonderful week at Cake by the Ocean! Best location ever! The manager was so easy to reach and talk to! Our beverage fridge quit working the first day and it was replaced within 2 hours! The kids loved the pools! My 18 month grandson walked all over in the kiddie pool! I would highly recommend this property to anyone!!

    There is a lot to like about this property. The pool is beautiful and ideal for small children with a large wading area. The beach is across the road within easy walking distance. The disappointing part of our week pertained to the house being listed as wheelchair accessible. Although I stressed ahead of time that the elevator was essential, it was not working between the second and third floor during our stay. Even worse, neither the elevator's doorway or car was large enough for a standard wheelchair. It would be useful for a guest that has mobility limitations but not for anyone in a wheelchair. To list this property as wheelchair accessible is inaccurate and misleading.

    Everything was well suited for the 23 people in my family for a week at the beach. So nice to have plenty of room for each of my family groups to have their own king size beds and room for their children in queen bunk beds. The kitchen is wonderful to cook and serve everyone. All the porches are amazing to hang out on with views of the beach or pool. The pool was perfect for our group. Plenty of parking in the driveway. The whole family loved it all.

    Can’t give “Cake” enough stars to say how much we loved this place! Super clean, gorgeous decor, fantastic views, and the location is perfect. We have found our new family favorite! We’ll be back!

    Our family of 7 loved our stay here. Indoors and out, the house offers spacious, inviting areas for gathering, dining with family, as well as equally cozy nooks for reading or napping. Close proximity to the beach and pool were highlights for the teens, and the neighborhood was a perfect place to walk our little dog every day. Our host promptly answered every question, and our only complaint is that the week went by much too fast. If you are looking for an enchanting house with gorgeous ocean views on THREE levels, this is the one.
