Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house worked well for ten men on a fishing trip. We each had our own beds and enjoyed having several bathrooms. The AC isn't powerful enough to cool the house during the day, it will get up to 80 degrees during the afternoon. There is limited parking, enough for two trucks. It says there is boat parking but definitely not on the property. We parked ours on the empty lot next door. Do you best to carpool.

Loved the property

The property was larger that I thought it would be, the location was amazing and everything was very clean. The golf cart that was at the house sounded like it was going to fall apart but one call to the cart place and the switched us out with another one. The only thing they could improve would be all the dead landscaping. The gardener in me wanted to get out there and work on it;) We had a great stay and would use this property again.

Non-cake by the ocean rental

I am used to checking in at 1500 and having to wait until 1600 delays our unloading our bags and causing delays in the family arriving. Communication between us and the office was a constant question.’once 160” came we were able to take it from there. Backyard is dangerous for all of us.

Unfortunate

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After battling leukemia with our sixteen year old daughter for the last 10 months, we were looking forward to a much needed family vacation. We've been going to Port A for years and usually opt for a condo. We decided to splurge on Cake by the Ocean. We arrived to multiple dead cockroaches on the stairs and entry way.There was no toilet paper or trash bags upon arrival. There were no sheets on 4 of the beds and the comforters were thrown on the floor. The kitchen floor was dirty and sticky. The bathrooms were filthy and every shower was lined with mold. There was hair on master sheets. All the fans were caked in dust which we cleaned off the first night we were there. There were no towels in any of the restrooms. We had a breaker go out with no response until next day...we had already fixed the problem by that time ourselves. We called about the house being dirty- the response from the after hours gentleman: is it not clean or just not clean to your standards? (Who says this??). We also called about towels and were told they would send over housekeeper, no one ever showed up. Needless to say, it was a nightmare and we took multiple pictures to document...wish we could post here. The house is large and could be a great place to stay if it was kept up by the rental agency.

Beach getaway!

"Cake by the Ocean" is a wonderful house to stay in...lots of room for everyone, nice backyard and super great location. Overall loved the property. A few things we didn't think was right...especially due to the "covid times": Coffee pot was dirty, dishwasher had dirty dishes in it, no hand soap in kitchen, an opened bar of soap in shower, sink in downstairs bathroom didn't work, only 3 trash can liners for kitchen, the grill and tools where dirty. I tried to call the office several time and I even left a message but no one returned my phone call. We made the best of it...enjoying family time and the beach!

Cake by the Ocean

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have mixed feelings regarding the rental. The home is large and at a good location but it needed maintenance. We were missing pillowcases on all the pillows but a simple call and housekeeping brought many. The master shower had a bad leak, the 1st floor shower had a broken handle and one sink had no water. Many of the bed frames needed to be reinforced as the supports were broken. It was also time for many of the mattresses to be replaced as they were very broken in. We reported all the water issues and one of the bed frames. The management company had someone there to work on these items the day we left - which is what we requested since none of the issues was an emergency. The first golf cart we had was not in good shape - backfiring and not accelerating on the road. By day 2 it would not shift into reverse but again another phone call and the management company brought out a new cart that worked great. The home is great for large groups as there is plenty of room. It just needed some good maintenance. Maybe a day or 2 out of service periodically to check that everything is in good working condition.

The kids had a great time. We like the layout of the house and perfect for a large group or family. On a moderately busy street so there were good carts of folks going by with music late into the evening but hey it’s vacation time so not that big of a deal.

Great House Close to the Beach

This was our second year coming to Port Aransas over the fourth of July holiday. This house was in great condition and close to the beach. It was hard to distinguish where the rooms were in advance, based on the description, so we weren't really sure what to expect. Be advised that there are two bedrooms on the lower level that are connected by a bathroom. You have to actually pass through the one bedroom and bathroom in order to get to the bedroom. There was also a second "bathroom" downstairs that was basically a toilet and a sink in the closet with the water heater. Kinda strange. Upstairs, the kitchen was very nice. I wish they had some condiments, spices, etc , but we went to the grocery store and bought what we needed there. The upstairs bedrooms were both very nice and had their own bathrooms attached. The living area was great and we even re-arranged some of the furniture for a movie night one night. The house was close to everything and we were able to take the golf cart to the beach, to get ice cream, and to watch the fireworks. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The experience was very good. The only problem we had was the air conditioning in the main living area wasn’t adequate to cool the space. It got up to 85 degrees the first day of the rental. The staff was very professional and immediately sent someone out who called an air conditioning contractor. They checked the unit and it was working fine but every afternoon the temperature got up to about 80 degrees. All other areas of the house cooled properly.
