The soaring three-story facade features classic white picket detail and a generous front porch. The elevated living and dining area is surrounded by loads of large windows that allow the bright Texas sunshine in.

A peninsula island leads into the completely open and vibrant kitchen. A shimmering backsplash the color of sea glass compliments the white shaker cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need— from brewing the morning coffee to preparing an intimate family dinner. Chic metal pendant lights illuminate the gleaming marble-topped workspaces.

Down a short hallway are a laundry room, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The first bedroom on this floor has a queen-size bed with custom built-in twin-size bunk beds. The second bedroom has a king-size bed. The full bathroom can be accessed from the hallway and features a glass-enclosed, step-in shower with spa-like tile details.

Upstairs, the grand master suite has a sumptuous king-size bed and a small sitting area. Glass doors flood the room with natural sunlight and lead out to the sun-kissed private balcony with views of the peaceful neighborhood and the ocean beyond. The master bathroom has a soaking tub and a step-in shower that are surrounded with slabs of gorgeous Carerra marble, and double vanity. A small room off the master suite has a triple stack of twin-size bunk beds. An additional bunk room on this floor has two full-over-queen size bunks, while another full bathroom with a step-in shower can be accessed from the hallway.

On the penthouse level, a private den space has a wet bar with a mosaic tile backsplash and a full-size daybed. The soaring balcony provides sweeping views of the Beachside Village neighborhood and the ocean. Relax at the pub table with a frosty cocktail and take in the magnificent view.

Back downstairs on the main level, the front porch has an outdoor dining table that’s perfect for hosting an alfresco family meal at sunset. A barbeque area below allows you to grill up some juicy burgers or fresh-caught fish with ease. And when your family is ready to hit the beach, the access point is a quick walk down the lane to a lovely, less-crowded beach. This home is also close to the Seawall, the Strand, and Pleasure Pier— so there’s something for everyone.

Perfect for large groups
The house was accurately depicted and it fit our 5 families that stayed, comfortably. The location was an easy drive from everything we were looking to do. The only issues we had was that we noticed mold on the ceiling in one of the rooms, seemingly from water damage. Short term stays, it’s one of those things that we weren’t too concerned about to report it immediately, but still a little unsettling to look up and see in the room you are sleeping in! Also, I felt like the property was a bit strict on check in time. I understand that if you have previous guests before, sometimes it’s just not available, but it seemed to be open the night before and he wanted us to pay a $50 extra fee to come a few hours before. Needless to say, we’ve never had someone do that so it was a tad bit off putting. But overall, it was clean and matched description.

Great house, excellent stay!
This house is wonderful for a beach vacation! We stayed with kids ranging from 1 to 7 - the bunk beds were a huge hit! The house has plenty of space and had everything we needed. It was a short walk to the beach from the house through the beautiful neighborhood. There are lots of great restaurants are close by as well. Will definitely be back to this house for another trip soon!

Not Clean, Some Items Not Working, Not a Great Experience
The location was great but wasn’t thoroughly cleaned before we got there. It was not occupied for a while and there were dust rabbits and kangaroos, not dust bunnies. The dust was so thick that I thought the kids played with a shredding husky. The bedroom ceiling was leaking water from the roof when it rained. We were given 1 small and 1 big towel for each bed BUT the washing machine was broken. It didn’t clean the towels we washed and came out with more sand and dirt. Also, the upstairs bathroom bath was stopped up and dirty. There were no cleaning supplies no TVs in each room. The property manager responded to every issue but the handy man they sent didn’t fix anything, only looked and gave explanations. A plumber and repairman were supposed to show according to the property manager, but never showed.

House wasn't clean and Looks nothing like pictures!
We booked the home for my daughters 18th birthday based on the pictures and location. When we arrived at the house is was filthy! There was a foul smell when we opened the door and initially we didn't know where it was coming from and upon checking around we found the trash hadn't been taken out. Second, the bed linen hadn't been changed on any of the beds and was dirty. Third, there were condoms in the upstairs bedroom nightstand which is disgusting. Forth, the floors and sink in kitchen were both filthy. Fifth, there were no lights on the second floor bedroom and stairs , which is pretty dangerous considering you cant see. I reached out to the host and she sent 2 ladies that were there for about 40 min and to supposedly clean and didn't do anything other than change the linens and take out the trash because they had to go to another job per their words. The table chairs fabric was absolutely filthy and the host was supposed to send a cleaner and no one ever came and we couldn't sit at the table. I have pics of everything and would not recommend this location to anyone because it looks nothing like the pics, the host is terrible and house is filthy.

Beautiful property - could use a deep clean
We loved our stay at this property. The private beach was fabulous and a short 5 minute walk from the house. The kitchen is well-equipped. The house did show some wear and tear; that's OK, as far as we're concerned. The woodwork in the house needs to be cleaned or repainted. I'll echo another review that commented on the dirty dining room chairs. A few other relatively minor issues with cleanliness. That said, there were plenty of towels and having a washer and dryer is a definite plus! The owner was very gracious and accommodating. We'd definitely stay here again.

Great location, disappointing house
Location was great and beach area was amazing. However there were a few things that were difficult to manage. The fridge and freezer are barely cold. Everything was melting. We checked the seals and adjusted to temperature with no success. The dishwasher only has a functioning top rack. The mattresses on almost all of the beds are either deeply indented or, in the case of my room, not on a proper frame and keeps detaching and literally flipping us out of the bed if we dare sit in the edge. Also the bunk beds were completely unsafe. Not only did the top bunk bed on the first floor have no rails, both metal bunk beds upstairs were not only severely bowed, but were loose and shaking. Additionally the mattresses on the bunk beds were so thin you could feel every metal rail. Two of the burners on the stove are not functioning. One has no stops and can turn freely if bumped which has resulted in the gas being turned on accidentally. The other will not attempt to light at all and will only spew gas if turned on. Almost all of the furniture was stained and you could feel the springs and rails. While the layout of the house was nice, and the location was great, the run down state of the house made things challenging, especially with children.

We loved the great location of this house out of the bustle/traffic of Galveston with a short walk to a not so busy portion of the beach!! The house had plenty of living space/rooms/beds for our family of 11, ranging in age from 2 to grandparents. The house had a few issues (one broken bed, broken bottom rack of dishwasher, very few cooking pots/pans) but overall we had a great week at Cake by the Ocean!

Misleading.
We arrived, opened the door and house smelled awful. There were several things that were broken, have repaired, dryer didn’t work. The kids bunk bed area had dirty sheets on the beds. Master shower had the spray head hanging, no where to hang it. Closet door was broken. The place needs an update — paint touch ups, furniture, etc. While we were there had to deal with a paint crew painting the outside. Workers cars parked in the driveway and we parked on the street. For the money, I would look elsewhere.
