We had a wonderful stay at this beach rental! The home was clean, well maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. The setting was lovely, with beautiful beach views and a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to relax. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing beach getaway. I look forward to next year for another vacation.

We had a great stay at Cute As Shell! The house was very clean and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. There's even a Murphy Bed! The kitchen was stocked with all of the essentials we needed to make a few meals with ample place settings. And the location is perfect! It's a 5 minute walk to the beach so you can enjoy the water & waves but pop back home for lunch without attracting a million seagulls.

Lovely Place to Stay
We loved the spaciousness of the home and the proximity to the beach. The abundance of restrooms was ideal for our group of eight, four adults and four children. The jetted tub in the master was a blessing to these old bones. We greatly appreciated having access to the garage! The pond was full of beautiful fish, and the palm tree next to the balcony was home to a nesting pair of loggerhead shrikes, which especially delighted my granddaughter who is a budding photographer. If we could have stayed longer, we certainly would have. And we will consider this home for our future vacations. Thank you so much for providing a beautiful space to make wonderful memories.

We had the best time in Port A and the house was amazing. We had two families and everyone had their own space and own bathroom! All the essentials are there for cooking and relaxing. This is a great home with lots of comfort. Could not have asked for a better getaway. From pingpong, to relaxing on the porch with a fantastic sea breeze. It was an easy walk to the pool and beach as well. The best part is if you are trying to get a way from the crowds this is the place to do it. It is far away enough from town that makes for the perfect spot on the beach!

Reviewer Comments:
We have been staying at Cinnamon Shores for the last 10 years and this year we stayed at this subdivision. It was a great experience and the customer service also great. We had trouble with accessing wifiAnd tv viewing but that wasn’t guaranteed in our rental so really the only disappointing aspect. The home did lack blankets for the bed and it was difficult to get the AC setting to where we didn’t need blankets but wasn’t stifling with humidity. We doubled up with empty beds bedspreadsSo it worked out. The view was great and a short walk to the beach.

When we arrived there was only one of the two queen beds that was advertised. We had issues with the front door not opening. The management team a great job and fixed the issues. We were the first renters so they were learning some things as well.
