Cake by the Ocean

Over all, we had a great time. We did enjoy the spacious house and its location was perfect for the price. The private beach was well worth it and made our beach time so much more enjoyable! However, there were a few issues with the space that made our time a bit more difficult. Some small issues like not having salt and sugar (not huge, but an extra grocery trip after arrival), to a few confusing items missing such as no pot holders, and only one kitchen towel. We had to end up using bath hand towels to remove pans from the oven etc. There were also clear discrepancies between the listing photos and current state of the property, the listing photos need to be updated. Lastly, there were some true functional things broken with the house. A curtain rod that was left hanging after being broken, toilet handles that were falling off if not held up when flushed, cabinet doors hanging on the hinges, and hallway railing that was stripped from the wall so would not have supported anyone had we needed to use it. We did reach out to the host when we arrived and noticed these issues. While they were polite and did thank us for our feedback there was not a sense of apology expressed or desire to rectify any of the issues during our stay. All in all, we had a good stay. But we all agreed more effort and transparency should be put into this listing in order to best take care of future guests.

Dinner Friday night to lunch Sunday with Saturday beach day. Worked great for our group

House was great, just the right amount of room for everyone. Very close to the beach and a lot of places to enjoy outside on the patio.

Loved the huge home on the beach! It took less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach, and it was through a quiet neighborhood. We drove into town to visit restaurants and tourist attractions. But being away from the traffic was a big plus.

Gorgeous house, lots of space for everyone, love the decor and vibe of the home, beach was only a short drive away (2 minutes), very peaceful, lots of natural lught, comfy beds, great layout. Our only crituques would be that the 3rd floor door doesnt lock (it was unlocked when we got here), there are no pot holders in the kitchen, no stopper for the bathtub (we bought one and left it for the next group), and no place to put toilet paper. But overall we had a great experience and the house is lovely.
