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!!
8.0
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.
10.0
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!

Thank you for the stay. My family made many memories in your beautiful rental.

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.

I wanted to take my family of four children, and their children to a home on a beach large enough for us all. I knew it would be costly, but it had been many years since we were all together all at one time, all in one perfect place. This was that time. This was that place. It is a week I will long remember, as will all of us who were there.
Imagine a home with enough master suites to accomodate all, beds for every child, and some left over, a heated, multi-level pool with a hot-tub at the apex large enough for nearly all, perfectly positioned between the home and the 64 degree ocean, only steps away. Imagine luxurious rooms with high-end lighting and furniture, expansive outdoor spaces with seating more commonly found in the Ritz Carlton than a rental home.
Imagine no longer. This home is all that and more.
The only thing that could have made it more perfect was if the world were tilted twenty degrees more on its axis so that we could see the sun setting more directly from the cushioned setting of the second-story covered deck rather than running across the street to the beach to capture the image slightly further to the west.
You really can't appreciate the convenience from the pictures. You walk out from the first level, past the pool, to the gate. You open the gate. Immediately infront of you is the crosswalk with a speed bumb that forces the cars to automatically slow. You cross the street, then an elevated board walk; before you is nothing but sugar-sand beach. Do it

Stay was great- location was excellent. The property manager was very responsive and immediately assisted with any minimal issues. All over beautiful vacation! Will be back for sure.

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.

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.

Grandparent. Parents, teenagers and younger kids. All agreed we chose a great house for our family reunion. There was enough space for individual family privacy and great space for all to congregate. The beach was steps away and conveniently located. A fun time was had by all!

Perfect location!
We all had a great time here! Perfect location and the home itself is spectacular! Perfect for families and get aways with friends! Home could use some handyman touches though - some wear and tear beginning to show (doors/windows difficult for kids to open, showers draining slowly, dishwasher needs repair or replacement, coffee-maker took some cuddling to make work, etc). Overall a great property!

Stay at the cake.
This was our 6th time to the Destin/ fort Walton beach area. The house was great, we had 19 people staying there in total ages ranging from 2-69 there was tons of space for us all. The kitchen was our biggest question mark with having to prepare food for so many and it’s much larger then the pics give it credit. The outdoor spaces were great with plenty of seating for all. The wading pool was a hit with the smaller kids and the bigger ones enjoyed the hot tub and swimming pool a lot. We contacted the property manager with a few questions and she responded very quickly. It has a great location in Destin very close to just about everything. Would highly recommend and we would definitely look for it again when planning our yearly trip to Destin.

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.

Exactly what we were looking for
This is the first time I have ever left a review for anything. this house was perfect. The location was perfect! The beach across from the property was great for the babies that enjoyed the small sandbars and wading pools they created. The house had plenty of room for everyone to enjoy a comfortable bed. The kitchen and living room was amazing with beautiful views of the ocean. we would open the sliding doors and enjoy our lunch and breakfast every day. I cannot say enough about this home. I can not wait to come back next year.

All in All is was nice
The house was decorated so nicely. The rooms were all spacious and the view from the decks were wondeful. Location wise I couldnt have asked for better! There was absolutely nothing blocking our views from the decks. For the Cons: the house wasn’t thourougly 5 star cleaned. First night we killed biggest bug/ cockroach. There were alot of gnats also in the house. The third deck bedroom also had roach. I think the house needs to be fumigated. The lower level inlaw suite had some type of wormy thing on one of the pillows. The out door area at night had the most awful sounding frogs. Not sure if it was mating season or what but they were so loud all night long. It seemed to only affecting this house. We decided to grill one day and unfortunately a rat came runnning on the second deck. It very well couldve been a beach rat but it definitely wasnt welcomed. All our stay was good but the bugs and frogs definitely didnt. Also there isnt a pool table but there is a foosball table. The sound system couldve been a great added touch but was a headache to work. We had a broken grill that was replaced as soon as we called but it wasnt fully put together but we figured it out. The property needs a manual, and better cleaning.

Outstanding property and host! We had a large group of all ages. Everyone loved the home. My 83 year old mother loved the elevator. The pool was phenomenal. Location could not have been better. Chuck was very helpful with any questions and always available. The beach was clean and only steps away. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and allowed us to cook for our group. Extremely clean on arrival. Great views. Safe neighborhood and used workout center and tennis courts. Very pleased!!

Family vacation
This property is very beautiful and was just wonderful. The decorations were just beautiful. The pools were great for the kids, because we had about 3 days of rain and couldn’t go to the beach. Also because we had double red flags.
We cooked a lot of meals at the house which had an adequately furnished kitchen.
Lots of bedrooms
Everyone enjoyed there stay very much... we had a total of 28 people.
We had a couple small issues that were taken can of immediately.
Overall great vacation.

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!).

Oh my gosh. I don’t even know where to start. This whole entire stay was AMAZING for me and my family. So nice to get away from winter and escape to this paradise for a week. The property and home were absolutely breathtaking and incredible. It is located right across the street from the ocean which was the absolute perfect location. The beaches in Destin have beautiful white sand and are incredibly clean. We cooked most of our meals in the excellent kitchen, but the house is also located very close to a variety of restaurants! (The Crab Trap was DELICIOUS!) Chuck (owner) and Robin (property manager) were attentive and always quick to respond and help us when needed. We had a few things we needed assistance with and they were eager and willing to help in a timely manner, which we all greatly appreciated! The beds were SO COMFY! Best sleep I have ever had. There is plenty of furniture on every outdoor level of the house which made hanging out outside very comfortable. We spent the majority of our time in the outdoor areas. The pool and hot tub were amazing. The kiddie pool was an added bonus as we had a four year old and one year old with us that LOVED the kiddie pool. It was the absolute ideal set up for a family vacation home. We hope to definitely return in the future!

Perfect location for a family vacation!
I once owned this home10+ years ago, and it was a delight to return and see that it's even more beautiful than when I sold it! The location is perfect for a family group like ours----5 adults, a 5 year old, and a dog. All areas are beautifully furnished and the views from the 3 spacious decks are exquisite. Given that we were being extra careful with the pandemic, the heated pool and spa were a fantastic asset to keep us entertained onsite, with of course the white sandy beaches and blue green Gulf waters an easy walk across the cross-walk in front of the house. We had some rather minor cleaning issues shortly after arrival, but Chuck (the owner) was quick to get these remedied promptly and satisfactorily. I would highly recommend the property.

Memories for a life time
My family and I had the very best time at Cake by the ocean. The picture are okay but they house is breath taking and is everything the pictures said and sooooooooo much more. Chuck and his crew were ready for us and we had to check in early which was no problem at all. The place was spotless. The views on every single floor were picture perfect. The ocean sounds put you to sleep and super relaxing. We had 12 adults and 7 children under 7 and was so much space we were never feeling cramped. The pool was warm and very enjoyable, the kids played for hours and hours. So many places to eat on the lower deck, middle deck and the massive dining room. We cooked every night with that many folks and 3-4 people in the kitchen was never to tight for space. The beds were the best. Super comfortable and smelled nice and fresh. The AC works amazing and kept the entire house super cold. We will definitely return next year. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your home

House was nice but smaller in person than shown in the pics. Also maintenance issues were unresolved
The house was nice but there a few issues with the property that made our stay less comfortable. When we arrived the owners vehicle was parked in the driveway blocking parking that we needed. We also had to move furniture ourselves around in the garage to be able to fit any cars in the 2 car garage. One of the 4 bedrooms on the 1st floor did not have any vents from the heating or cooling system. There was a wall unit that did not emit any heat at all so the room was freezing at night. The half bath on the 2nd level wasn’t in good working condition from the beginning. When I arrived and walked up the steps I heard the toilet running. I jiggled the handle and it stopped but as we used it that first day, it wouldn’t flush and we were having to pour water into the tank to flush it. Also we discovered that there was a grey mouse living on the 2nd floor deck! He would come out I guess looking for food so that cut down on our use of the outside patio space for sure bc several of my family members were afraid and disgusted. I contacted the owner the next day about all of these complaints and he said that the he leaves the truck parked there and no one local had keys to move it. He doesn’t have a local maintenance person to assist with any issues. He told me that he could walk me through any repairs that needed to be done, which I declined. We just decided to not use the half bathroom for the remainder of our stay. When I told him about the mouse he told me that he couldn’t do anything about it and as long as it’s outside we shouldn’t be worried about it. I know he knew that there was a rodent problem before I made him aware of it bc there was rat poison under the cabinet in the laundry room and there was mouse poop in the drawers in the 3rd floor bar area.I was flabbergasted that he didn’t see any issue with the rodent living on his rental property or that he wasn’t trying to rectify the problem AT ALL! He said that a hawk may swoop down and get it. At that point I realized that he wasn’t worried about rectifying any of the issues we had until he came down the Florida himself to do the repairs, which was not going to be during our stay. The owner was a really nice guy, he just didn’t have enough local resources for his renters.
