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.

Great location-Quick walk to the beach

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.

The property was very nice, plenty of space for a large party. Clean and close proximity to the beach only a three minute walk. Not far from the main Seawall just a 10 minute drive or less depending on traffic.

Fabulous Spring Break getaway!

This is our second time in 4 months staying at this property, and it never disappoints. The house is spacious, clean, comfortable, and has everything you need for a beach vacation. The house is a short walk to the beach and the neighborhood is always quiet, even during a peak travel week. The house has things like a washer and dryer, high chair, and other useful amenities when traveling with children. There are lots of great restaurants close by as well. We are looking forward to our next stay here already!

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!

Awesome Beach Home

Really enjoyed our stay at cake by the ocean. House was big enough to accommodate all 16 of us with plenty of room. House had a great lay out. The 2 bedroom down stairs for parents and in laws and master suite upstairs was a plus for our group. Short walk to beach and didn't have to worry about beach being busy. Enjoyed it!!!!

Great Beach House

First time beach rental for our family. We all enjoyed our time plenty of room for all of of us. Loved that we can just walk to the beach. Would say the property needs a bit of touch of care on the outside nothing major. The basement or garage areadon’t go down there it’s a mess but we didn’t need to go in there anyways. It had everything that we needed. Everything looks pretty clean. I love that there was tape on the toilet, letting us know that they have been cleaned. Overall, I would stay here again,. Our family enjoyed our stay

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.

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.

Texas reunion

Overall we had a good experience renting this property for a family reunion (5 children & 13 adults). Good location with a nice neighborhood. House was clean except for one nasty bath towel (not sure how that was missed). Bunk beds wobble & creak some but work. One bed has bowed support boards that should be replaced. Nice laundry room. Biggest issue was the instant hot water system that would cycle on and off making for a interesting shower experience. Service tech did come out promptly, but issue continued (we discovered that the greater the hot water demand the fewer issues, so have 2 showers going at the same time). Great room (kitchen, eating area & living room) was a wonderful space for everyone to gather.
