AMENITIES: At North, Resort-style amenities include three lavish pools, two scenic lakes, a fishing dock, fire pits, a fitness center, private dune crossovers, lawn games, a pirate ship playscape, and more! Enjoy on-site restaurants such as a Mediterranean bistro and a pizzeria, a coffee shop and café, while the Town Center hosts events, activities, and live music in peak season and on holiday weekends.
MAIN LIVING SPACE: Vaulted ceilings and exposed beams open up the main living area on the second floor. Relax in this light-filled gathering space, where living, dining area and kitchen combine. A plush sofa and chairs in ocean hues invite you to cozy up after a day on the beach to lounge or watch TV. Prep a meal in the well-stocked kitchen with great central island, stainless appliances and custom-tile backsplash, then enjoy dining together at the large farm table with enough seating for 10. Step out on the screened porch to enjoy the beach breeze and views or BBQ on the gas grill.

Its private door leads to the expansive back deck with lovely dune views. This room also features a private bath with a large walk-in shower and double vanity! On the second floor, a bedroom with a queen bed and a separate full bath serves another couple. The third floor bedroom offers another adorable set of built-in bunk beds for four.

This is a beautiful home which is a 5 minute walk to beach and pools and a short walk to shop and restaurants. We could have used the 2nd living area with 6 kids as we’ve had in the past. Also the 2nd bunk room on 3rd floor shares the bathroom on 2nd floor with the persons staying in the bedroom on that floor (which we wished had been a king size). The mostly screened in deck was very nice with a view of sea grass and vegetation.

We had a fantastic time at Cinnamon Shore! House was clean, well decorated with beach decor. House is well stocked with appliances, utensils, etc. There is a high chair and pack n play. Baby gate is listed as available in the home, however we could not locate one. There are lots of stairs and we had 2 babies. The gate would have been nice. Overall the house suited our 3 families fine.

Although it was a cold/rainy weekend, we had the most amazing time! This house has all the amenities one would need and very close proximity to the beach .
We had 14 family members for a pre-Christmas get-together. It was a great time of year to do it because it wasn't crowded and felt like we had the beach to ourselves. The weather was in the low to mid 70s.

Reviewer Comments:
We took a group of college girls with us to Port A. This house was perfect for us to be with them, and give them some space. The kitchen island was perfect for group breakfasts and lunches. We appreciated the large Keurig and panini. Beautiful home. It also worked well to play games when the weather was cold. It was very clean, which we appreciated. The house was the perfect walking distance to everything in CS. We still rented golf carts for the girls for driving on the beach and into town (20 min via beach). However, CS needs a sign before the Main Street exits that there are no golf carts on Highway 361. The first afternoon, one group took a cart out and got a $300 ticket.
Our family had a fabulous time in Cinnamon Shores! This was our first visit to the community, but we will definitely be back. The house had MORE than enough space for the six of us to spread out, and the kitchen was well equipped to cook full meals~considering all the restaurants were closed due to Covid-19. The house was within walking distance to the beach & pool~we didn’t need to rent a golf cart. There were a few minor glitches-bunk bed lights in the loft did not work, there was kitchen cabinet door in need of repair, and the back doors upstairs were difficult to latch. In addition, MBR pillowcases were stained. There was also no extra trash bags. A little disappointed that we were told that everything would remain open in the resort-only to discover that was not the case (gym & dining establishments closed). All in all though, super satisfied with our stay. Happy we had an opportunity to do something over our Spring Break.

We have stayed at Mama's Happy before, which is the reason we came back. It fits our multi-generational family of 11 very well. The kitchen is well equipped. It is close to the beach, fishing and lots of fun. The big problem is the very poor connection to the internet and TV cable. One of our family had to do some work and had to go out to get a connection. The TV cuts out continually and often. The internet coverage is very weak and SLLOOOWWW! There is some maintenance that needs doing, but over all the house is in good condition. The ice maker did not work. The staff at Cinnamon Shore were excellent in coming to help, but could do nothing about the TV. They put a small refrigerator in the down stairs to help.

The layout and decor of the mamas happy house was great for two families. This is our second year staying at cinnamon shore, and I could tell there was a huge decline in service from the front desk. We had issues every single day with our chairs / umbrellas. One day, they were hours late to setup . The other three days they setup wrong amount of umbrellas, and we had to call and request them to fix the issue. The mamas happy house had a lot of bugs. A lot of roaches on the first and second floor. The third floor bunk beds were covered in ants inside the sheets. Our kids couldn’t sleep in there. I told the front desk and they didn’t apologize or even care

We hope to return again soon!

Cinnamon shores embodied a full vacation bliss. We split our vacation with two other families totaling 6.5 kids. Mamas Houseet our sleeping, cooking, entertainment, and lounging needs we could have ever asked for. Cinnamon shores has all you need right in the community snd onto the beach. We loved the s’mores night on beach, lawn games, fishing at the ponds, the circle lawn entertainment, and the golf cart drives. Makes for the best 2.5 hr drive to enjoy a southeast coastal experience BUT in TExAS!

This rental was so comfortable and accommodating. Everyone but the kids had their own bathroom and plenty of space to play cards or sit outside. We enjoyed the location and the friendly staff.My only complaint is that Cinnamon Shore does not recycle. This is very disappointing for a progressive place so close to the beach. I think your company could do better to protect the beautiful area around you. I would also suggest pickle ball, basketball or tennis courts to be added to the green space. The pools were lovely but super crowded and a little dirty.

The rental house was nice and well-equipped. The rooms were nice and clean. It is in a decent location, not walkable to the beach or town center really, but easily accessible with a golf cart. The screened in back porch was great, though the front porch/lawn were completely unusable due to swarms of mosquitoes. The wifi was good and reliable. Would definitely stay again.

My family and I were so pleased with our stay at Mommas Happy. The home was in a great location and plenty big for our family consisting of 14 people. We especially loved the screened in back porch ( which kept pesty bugs out). Their were minor hiccups but nothing that wasn’t taken care of by maintenance almost immediately. Would definitely stay there again....
The house was in great shape - we would definitely rent it again.
Only bad experience was lack of communication from the property manager. We tried to connect with them for a week leading up to the trip to get details on Covid and other things. We never could reach them - to the point that we almost didn’t make the drive down. When we arrived, they said it was because they had been busy. No return text, email, nor phone call - seemed unacceptable.
Once we arrived, the trip was great - and the staff that was there was friendly.

Amount of supplies for a party of 13 for 4 days was inadequate. Garbage bags were of very poor quality. Toilet paper and soaps (dishwasher) detergent was not enough. Tried to reserve surfing for the kids and it didn't work. Restaurant closed on Sundays during peak season doesn't make sense. Garbage bin (outside) was full when we arrived.
