Experience Luxury at Cinnamon Shore in Port Aransas

Texas travel

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure.

Cinnamon Shore is a beautiful luxury beachfront community located in Port Aransas, Texas. The property is comprised of two areas: Cinnamon Shore North and the new and developing Cinnamon Shore South. If you are searching for a fun beach family vacation, girl’s weekend, or couples getaway, Cinnamon Shore is definitely your answer.

Be sure to grab my beach vacation meal planning guide before you head that way if you plan on eating in for some meals.

Cinnamon Shore offered our family a complimentary stay in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own.

Cinnamon Shore Beach CHairs

    Need to recharge? Cinnamon Shore is your answer

    There is something about the beach that soothes my soul and brings me back to a place of ME. All distractions fade away and I can focus on my family and clear my mind. The beauty of the shoreline with the sounds of waves crashing in does something to calm my anxiety and worries. Let’s face it – there is a lot of uncertainty and fear happening right now thanks to the pandemic.

    Hancock Beach

    In my opinion, visiting a beach via a road trip and staying in a private townhome is one of the safest things we can do right now. I know that there is never a zero chance of possibly contracting COVID-19 when visiting public places, but the safety measures and social distancing procedures they have in place makes me feel better. (If you don’t feel comfortable traveling right now, I completely understand. Consider visiting in the future).

    Where is Cinnamon Shore?

    Cinnamon Shore is in Port Aransas, Texas on Mustang Island along the Texas Gulf Coast. This community is a walkable neighborhood with a slow-paced charm. Guests can access the beach from the development. Check out their live beach cam.

    Driving time to Cinnamon Shore from these Texas destinations:

    • Dallas: 6.5 hours
    • Austin 3.5 hours
    • Houston: 3.75 hours
    • San Antonio: 2.5 hours

    Where we stayed

    We stayed in a beautiful townhome called Blue Heron TC in the middle of the community. Located next to the green space of the Town Center, the condo is just across from the community restaurant Lisabella’s Bistro & Bar and open-air pavilion. It was a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom townhome perfect for multiple families to travel together. Head to my Instagram to see what it looked like inside.

    Cinnamon Shore Vacation rental directory

    There is not a shortage of vacation rentals and there are more developing as we speak at Cinnamon Shore South. Guests can choose beachfront, gulf view, pet-friendly, and large vacation rental homes. Condominiums, cottages, and townhomes are also available. Pricing varies per rental property. They have thought of something for everyone.

    Things to Do at Cinnamon Shore

    There is not a shortage of things to do at Cinnamon Shore – even in October! We spent the majority of the time at the beach because the weather was great. I was also impressed with their socially distanced activities such as Movies Under the Stars, S’mores bonfire, Beach Yoga, and Sandcastle lessons.

    Cinnamon Shore

    The Cinnamon Shore property map shows the layout and how to get access to the beach. The map also shows the locations of their three pools (two of which are heated), restaurants, shops, parks, and even a fishing pier.

    Cinnamon Shore restaurants

    One of the perks of staying here is the ability to visit quality restaurants a short walk or golf cart drive away.

    Coffee Waves

    Coffee Waves offers Iced Drinks, such as Iced Coffee, Iced Chai and Iced Caramel Macchiato; Hot Drinks, including Espresso, Hot Chocolate, Cafe Mocha, House Blend and more; and Frozen Drinks, including gelato and fruit smoothies.

    Coffee Waves
    Dylan’s Coal Oven Pizzeria

    Offering authentic, New York style pizza, classic salads, pastas, Italian sandwiches, and signature coal oven wings. Our condo was right next door so we loved being able to sit outside on the patio to enjoy drinks and appetizers. Check hours of operations here.

    Dylan's Pizzeria
    Lisabella’s (Sun – Tue Closed)

    Guests can enjoy savory staples like crab cakes, sea scallops, red snapper belle meuniere, and our specialty Mermaid Soup are perfectly complemented by a large wine selection, craft cocktails, and made-from-scratch desserts. Enjoy a candlelit date night or bring the whole family for a memorable meal. Make reservations

    Lisabellas
    C Bar

    Located at scenic Kiera’s Pool, C Bar serves light meals and snacks like chips and guacamole, Gulf shrimp salad, fish tacos, and kids’ options like chicken fingers and a classic PB&J.  Full bar available. Open daily 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.

    C Treats

    Located in an airstream trailer in the great lawn, guests can buy ice cream, snow cones, snacks and more.

    Free activities for all ages

    Sure, you could stay at the beach the entire time and that is fine. If your kids are like mine they get bored after a while with the beach (I don’t!). The property offers a variety of family-friendly activities that differ throughout the year. Some are free while others are an additional cost.

    Resort-style pools

    The Dune Pool  

    The Dune Pool is the biggest pool, with water features and plenty of lounge chairs. It stands in the shadow of the community’s natural dune, anchored by waving grasses and wildflowers, along Grand Boulevard. And it’s here that we offer PaddleBoard Yoga classes, as well.

    Dune Pool
    Pirate Playground
    The Dune pool also features a fun pirate ship playground my kids loved.
    Kiera’s Pool

    Kiera’s Pool offers a scenic view over its infinity edge to Lake Gavin and the charming homes that surround it. C Bar serves food and drink with a great menu perfect for lounging and relaxing at the water’s edge. 

    Keiras Pool
    Stillwater Pool  

    Stillwater Pool is a heated pool, and it’s located on Stillwater Drive. Outside food and drinks are allowed at this pool.

    Currently, there is a 10% Discount at this Life is Good property! This fall family can enjoy this 4 Bedroom, 3.5 Bathroom beach home with three king beds, and 3 bunk beds. Just a block from the beach! Use Promo Code: GOOD  

    Golf Cart and Bike rentals

    One great thing about Port Aransas is that you can drive golf carts and cars on the beach. I highly recommend investing in a golf cart rental.

    Top Deck Golf Cart

    There are so many things to explore on property and walking everywhere would take a lot of time and energy. Top Deck also offers bike rentals for $45 per day.

    Cinnamon Shore Houses for Sale

    Looking to invest in beachside town living on the Texas coast? They have plenty of real estate opportunities available right now.

    Conclusion

    Our family has visited many Texas beach properties. Staying at Cinnamon Shore proved to me that a family beach vacation doesn’t have to be that stressful. They thought of it all from offering golf cart rentals to planning quality free entertainment and even reserving beach chairs and umbrellas for guests to relax on the shore. They also have a market on-site if you forget grocery items (which we did). The property was clean, designed with an upscale coastal feel in mind and the staff was friendly. The cost to stay here is a bit higher than some of the other vacation rentals we have stayed, but I would say it’s definitely worth it to experience Port Aransas (stress-free) in all its beautiful glory. You will get pampered and spoiled here. Soak in the memories and leave the stress at home. Consider a trip to Cinnamon Shores now. I promise you won’t regret it. You may also decide to invest in a property of your own – I know that idea is spinning in my head right now. The memories I made here are priceless.

      My grandkids love this resort and want to come back every year!! The memories are priceless when they came home happy and talked about it non stop. I am so glad they loved it more than the Florida beaches.
