The littles loved the wading pool. Robin, property manager, was great and quick to respond to questions. Thanks for a great relaxing family vacation!

Good vacation home

Great property with perfect location and amenities. The communication with the owner and manager was excellent. We had four kids with us and they really enjoyed the pool. The access to the beach is within walking distance and the views are breathtaking. Cleaning could've been improved a little, bathrooms were dusty and the bed lining smelled dirty, we had to wash them, but other than that everything was good.

Perfect Beach week for large family

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.

An exceptional vacation rental to celebrate an outstanding achievement

Our extended family gathered from WA, CA, MI, TN, AR & AL to celebrate my son’s 20 year retirement from USMC. The house was perfect for several large gatherings as well as quiet, restful relaxation. Chuck, the owner, was very helpful and easy to work with. The location is great for beach access, surf fishing, taking walks and across street from a restaurant & beach bar.

family gathering

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.

Amazing house with an equally amazing pool and unobstructed ocean views.

Just had our wedding on the beach in front of the house and reception poolside on the patio. It was truly an unforgettable week thanks to this exceptional home and the customer service provided by the homeowner. The views from each deck are breathtaking and the house has ample indoor and outdoor space. This house is truly unique with the blue roof and large outdoor space with pool while you can still see the beach.

The absolute PERFECT vacation spot!

Our family of 18 met from several different states to enjoy a week together at Cake by the Ocean. The owner was amazing to work with and answered any questions we had prior to booking. The location of the home was perfect, especially for my dad who is ill but still managed to make it down to the beach with us several days. The home is beautifully decorated and included little details we appreciated like labeled light switches, etc. We informed the owner of one small detail like a leaking faucet and he had someone there to fix it within hours. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and hope to book with Chuck again in the future if he will have us back.

Unable to have the jets in hot tub and had trouble with heating pool and hot tub. The elevator was broken. We have a man with Parkinsons disease. He needed the elevator and your advertisement listing you had one is the reason we choose your home.

Disappointing

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.

Wonderful location with views across the bay.

The house is very nice. Anything you need from the property owner, he is willing to make certain you get it! For those with larger families or friends he has a large washer & dryer which is a huge help with all of the towels! The house sleeps everyone comfortably. There is an elevator but we did not use it (it may be good for those with a lot of luggage!). There is a lot of room to store food and beverages. Kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of plates and glasses for a big group meal. The pool area is very relaxing! The hot tub was our favorite spot in the evenings. The outside patio areas are well furnished with shade if you need it. There is a grill as well. The high school kids liked the fact that they could walk or bike to meet up with their friends (there are several golf cart rentals nearby, but we did not see the need). Biggest pain in the rump is that the bridge between Pensacola and Destin was down so you have to take a detour from Pensacola airport to the house (though you can fly into Destin - we were just too late booking!).

The Matson family vacation

I recently stayed at this lovely home during July 4th week. There had been a wedding the week before. Things got out of hand and the renters for the week before messed up the elevator. I rented this house because of the elevator. My 83 year old father is not mobile, so when we arrived and found out the elevator would not work, we were very upset. We contacted the owner and he had no idea that it was down. There were no living areas on the first floor(only bedrooms). This caused my father to not be able to eat with us or hang out . I pretty much cried all week. Chuck and his wife felt terrible and I actually felt bad for them as well. They were so nice and understanding and they handled the situation not only professionally but with their heart. It was an unfortunate circumstance beyond their control but I would rent from them again for sure. The house was beautiful, location was perfect, if the elevator had not been an issue, it would have been a perfect week. I am rating this a five star for what it could have been.
