A chef’s kitchen with pro-grade appliances, wine fridge, and seating for 20+ makes hosting effortless. Step through French doors onto the Gulf-side balcony and gather around the fire pit while waves crash below.

Two additional lounges—a second-floor family room and first-floor game room, give everyone a place to relax, play, and unwind.

Beautiful Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved staying at this beautiful home. The views from the patio were amazing! One of our favorite memories was enjoying a bonfire on the beach as a family and roasting s'mores. Having an elevator in the unit was a huge plus! Everything was very organized from the beach chair/umbrella set up to the golf cart rental. The management was great when we contacted them that we didn’t have any salt for the shuffleboard and they had it to us within the hour delivered to our unit. The only suggestion I would like to add, is if the unit could add luggage racks to set suitcases on in the bedrooms. We truly enjoyed staying here!

Incredible Vacation Home - Right on the Water!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was perfect for our family get away with for us and our kids and four grandchildren! The grandkids loved the arcade and shuffleboard and we really enjoyed spending time sitting next to the fire pit with a glass of wine on the patio overlooking the ocean! The home is brand new and the décor is gorgeous with more than enough room for all of us! The two laundry rooms and beach toys and towels were convenient and much appreciated. We liked how the children had their own floor to enjoy and the adults had multiple places to hang out and relax. The pool and playground were a quick walk and the beach was just across the bridge out the front door. We will absolutely stay in this home again!

A true dream of a home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Livin'the Dream was just that! It truly is a beautiful, gulf-front, five bedroom, five and 1/2 bath professionally decorated home overlooking the ocean. Our family of 12 loved it and had a wonderful experience during our week long stay at Cinnamon Shore South. The game room and multiple living areas afforded our family privacy and plenty of space to relax, unwind and enjoy their activities. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to cook several meals there along with a private "Shrimp Boil" provided by the staff at Cinnamon Shore which was great fun. An extra bonus was having a telescope in the living room to look out at night at the Big Beautiful Harvest Moon in the sky the week of our stay. We enjoyed having dinner at "Venetian Hot Plate" in town, as well as, the restaurants, "Stouts at the Shore" & "Lisabella's" in Cinnamon Shore North. All three were delicious! Our family loved all the many amenities at North & South CS. The new shopping boutique was a hit with everyone and "Dylans Pizza" and the Shore Cafe never disappoint! The new play ground and three swimming pools at South were great and used often. We celebrated three birthdays while there with "Sugar Botany" providing two unbelievable cakes and a variety of cookies and cupcakes. A day of deep sea fishing was a highlight for those that participated! All in all, we had a great vacation which was all made possible by the gracious owners of "Livin' the Dream" sharing their dream home with us and greeting us with a personalized welcome note attached to a bottle of wine for our consumption. The staff at CS were delightful..friendly, welcoming and handled two minor issues in a timely manner. Having the beach carts delivered to our front door and the daily set-up of beach chairs and unbrellas on the beach was wonderful!Thank you to the "Livin the Dream" Owners and the Cinnamon Shore Staff for making our vacation such a great memory!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was 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: Would not recommend this house to anyone if they are renting during the summer months the A/C is controlled by the owners and the second floor and first floor were very hot for my family. bedrooms were like a sauna---If an owner has put limitations on anything in a house be it A/C, fireplace, elevator etc it needs to be posted on the web page describing the property---if I had know this I would have never rented this houseFurniture was not as nice as other houses at Cinnamon Shore that I have stayed inVery small living room and kitchen for 11 peopleonly 6 people had a place to sit in the living areano hose to rinse off our beach equipment to get the sand offfire alarm went off and it took maintenance 15 or so minutes while we had to stand outside in the rain or sit in our cars to get away from the very loud alarmI will say Amanda in the office did a wonderful job of trying to help in anyway she could!
