The places is stunning. We just drove by and took a walk around the man made pond during the day and at night. Its really quiet at night. There were hammocks and fire pit areas.

Great place to Vacation! The staff were friendly and helpful. One of the nicest places I've ever stayed. Easy access to the beach. It has a Stocked, fresh water pond in the middle of the resort. Catch and release only. 30 minutes from Corpus and 30 minutes from Rockport if there is no wait at the Fairy.

Cinnamon Shore South is amazing for a getaway trip. The beaches are beautiful, with really nice views and waves. Beautiful sunset views away from large crowded beaches. The community is quite quaint and has some great places to stay and enjoy some good food too. Your stay can be enhanced by renting a golf cart (awesome), a preset spot on the beach; they can even set up a beach campfire for you, with s’mores, if you’re up to it… it’s a great way to spend time together at the end of your day. It’s a must do again in my book! Cinnamon Shore South… Well Done!

We did not stay here… we felt it was a bit limited for our older kids. It’s a Beautiful site and little village, but nothing right outside. You need to drive 30 min for corpus to get here but if you have older adults and littles, it’s perfect. Golf cart included in many rentals, and you can walk or ride on over to the private beach. We checked prices and availability and may stay here for a family reunion or when we bring the grandparents. It reminds me of being on a set for the Truman Show or something. It is so pretty but only inside the cinnamon shores properties.

In Port A with family and friends. Always a great time. Cinnamon Shore South was an amazing stay. Great house, pool was fun, easy beach access thanks to the carts. Had a great time. Beautiful place. Will don't again next year!

We recently stayed at Cinnamon Shore South and found the experience outstanding. The homes are beautifully appointed and situated right on the beach front, with sunrise and sunset views that really elevate your stay. The amenities are resort-style without feeling overly commercial: spacious pools, well-maintained grounds, easily rented beach chairs and umbrellas, and a golf-cart friendly layout that adds both fun and convenience.  The community environment is peaceful and family-oriented, which makes it perfect for a relaxed getaway. While the “South” side is still developing some of its infrastructure, that simply means fewer crowds and more space to enjoy.  if you’re looking for a beach-destination that delivers style, comfort, and ease of access, Cinnamon Shore South is a very strong choice.
