Reviewer Comments:
We love Cinammon Shores, we visit most years. The home was beautiful, well decorated and had amazing lake views. However, the water in the showers never got hot, the downstairs bedrooms were incredibly warm at night with no way to cool them down. For the price of this rental, it was unacceptable to have cold showers and warm sleeping conditions. One of the bedrooms had an overhead light with a fan but you could not switch the light off to sleep without turning off the fan. Terrible choice in wiring. Additionally, we could not close the doors properly to lock them. Not worth the price no matter how pretty home was.
Great time to be on Mustang Island. Not so crowded, water warm but not the air temp. Second year there for our family vacation and really enjoyed it.

We loved this perfect cottage! The private dock overlooking the lake was so beautiful and serene, and it was great for fishing. The house was great for our dogs and baby, and it was equipped with everything we needed. Staff were helpful and professional. We would definitely stay here again.

This is our second year to come to Cinnamon Shore. We brought our extended family this time and rented a bigger home. The house was amazing and perfect for us. Definitely would be the house we would want in the future. I do have two concerns was that on the first day, two of the beds were wet and smelled of bleach so we had to wash the sheets and air dry the mattress. Second concern, was the water pressure was low in one of the bedrooms. I mean it was like a trickle in the shower. I had called it in along with bed sheet problem. The next morning, another bedroom lost water pressure as well. We were there for 5 nights and finally on the last day that afternoon it was fixed. I know the property is big and staff may be limited, but makes it quite hard to shower and get sand off you with 10 people in the house.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 July 2026
Thank you so much for returning and for bringing your extended family this time! We're so glad the home felt like the perfect fit and that you'd choose it again. We are truly sorry about the wet beds and the water pressure issues having multiple showers reduced to a trickle with 10 people trying to rinse off after the beach for nearly the entire stay is incredibly frustrating, and waiting until the last afternoon for a fix is simply not acceptable. We completely understand how much that impacted your daily comfort and we sincerely apologize. We will be addressing both the housekeeping process and our maintenance response times directly to ensure these issues are never left unresolved for days again. We hope to welcome your whole family back for the seamless stay this beautiful home deserves!

WOW! What a perfect way to spend Christmas at the beach with our whole family. First, the house was PERFECT. It was an ideal layout for our family (6 adults and 5 "kids") and we had plenty of space. The two large back decks were perfect! We love Cinnamon Shore and this house is a great pick for a large family. Enough space to share but also privacy for everyone!

We had a great off-season getaway in the Happy Kat. The house was clean and well-stocked. The lake views are so beautiful and soothing! We rented a golf cart to get to and from the beach and we’re able to Instacart groceries. The only thing that could be improved was the bedding...the linens seemed warm and could use a few more blankets in the winter. Overall we loved our stay there!

The Happy Kat was a wonderful experience:) The views from the decks were an added bonus! Mornings were especially wonderful for our children with all the fish, turtles and ducks swimming by. We were able to bring our two small dogs as well, which made our trip even better. The layout of the house was excellent for socializing and rest. We would definitely recommend this rental to anyone. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.

We really enjoyed the house and the stay at Cinnamon Shores. Everyone was very friendly -- guests, staff, people in Port A generally. The house was comfortable and worked out great for us. A couple of small issues (patio door lock and inoperative microwave) were repaired quickly and cheerfully. Access to the beach was easy and pleasant, and the kids and dogs had a blast. Only area to improve: the floors were a bit dirty on arrival, and a couple of minor details were missed like the clocks being set to the current time and random home repair materials being left in the closets.

What a wonder Place for a multi family vacation. The layout worked for everyone. Happy Kat had many kitchen machines and was very well equipped. Happy Kat was roomy enough for 5 adults and 3 children under 11. And you know the PAC Man. Die machine was a hit! Bring your own beach toys as there were none, unlike other homes we have stayed at. It was clean and roomy and very well supplied. Plenty of baby gates, high chairs (at least 2) were available, too! There was room and then some for for everyone. Cinnamon Shore does a great job on making your time on their property to be special! The Mother’s Day brunch was superb! Something for everyone! Well done Cinnamon Shore!

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed at Cinnamon Shores since the second year it opened. Rarely have we had a home or condo that has not met expectations. Unfortunately this was the one. When we arrived we discovered that the listing was not accurate. It was listed as a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom but it was actually a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath. This would not be a big deal if one of the bathrooms was a shared bath but all full bathrooms are en-suite. This means that you have to go into one of your travel companion’s rooms to take a shower, etc. We were a group of adults in this home, it was a bit awkward to have to go into a couple’s room to ask if it’s okay to come in and take a shower. Cinnamon Shore knows better than to list a home with 4 bathrooms when it only has 3.5, when I brought it to their attention they saw the incorrect listing and did not nothing to make this right. We specifically looked for a 4 bathroom home and Cinnamon Shore did not care. In addition one of the windows in the living areas was scratched and the door out to the upstairs deck is worn and does not stay closed. On the positive side, the kitchen is well stocked and the location on Lake Colby is nice.
