Cinnamon Shore
This year I celebrated my 27th birthday with my husband and our two boys on the most beautiful beach vacation. We stayed at Cinnamon Shore, a luxury beach community located in Port Aransas just four hours outside of Houston, Tx. The community sits on the Gulf Coast making access to the beach super quick and easy! They also have three pools on property, so we were able to get a few pool days in as well — we loved the pools and the gorgeous views!
In full transparency, Cinnamon Shore is most definitely not the cheapest local vacation spot. I always want to be completely honest with you guys when sharing, but will also stand firm in saying that it is most definitely worth the splurge as it’s truly the most beautiful and luxurious beach vacation that we’ve ever experienced right here in the great State of Texas.
The Beach Cottage
We stayed in one of their beach cottages for the week and it was truly the perfect size for our little family. We booked the Sun Chaser Cottage — the coziest little beach cottage with a lake front view.
From what we’ve seen online, you can book a stay at Cinnamon Shore through vacation rental sites like VRBO, but we decided to book directly through Cinnamon Shores website.
You will receive text messages prior to your arrival and throughout your stay — service here is top tier and reminded us a lot of our stay at The Lion hotel in Vail, Colorado.
Food & Activities
You don’t really need to leave the community for anything as there are several shops and on-site restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There’s also a coffee shop for all of my fellow coffee lovers and an ice cream shop! Fishing, bike rentals, bonfires on the beach, and so much more are available for booking directly on premise.
They also host different community events each night like: Karaoke on the lawn, S’mores Night, Movies under the stars and so much more! You’ll probably never run out of things to do here.
Golf Cart Rentals
If you choose to vacation in Cinnamon Shore, you will also want to budget in a golf cart rental. This is how your family will be able to quickly move around the community and drive over to the beach without needing to purchase a beach permit for your personal car. Golf carts in Cinnamon Shore can be booked through Sage Beach Carts, and if you’re visiting in their peak season(s), I’d highly recommend that you book your cart rental when you book your beach house — carts are highly sought after and will get booked up fairly quickly.
This is definitely a quick family trip that we’d like to take our boys on yearly, and would be one that we would highly recommend to all of our friends and family. Follow along for more fun behind the scenes on Instagram and my other socials!
