We absolutely loved this property! The pictures don’t do it justice, it is so much bigger than we were expecting. We felt very safe in the gated community. The grounds were well kept. The pool areas were perfect, especially if you have little ones (The kiddie splash pad was a major plus for us). The unit overlooks the lake which was full of wildlife (huge turtles, otters, alligators, birds, etc). We loved watching them from the balcony. The unit had a booster seat and a cooler, in case you were thinking of packing them. My only small complaint about the unit was the kitchen was missing some basic cooking utensils/supplies (measuring spoons, salt, pepper, measuring cup, etc). We cooked several nights there, so it made it a little more difficult. The beach access is about a two minute walk from the unit (that’s carrying babies and all their beach crap, maybe quicker other wise lol). The pool was about a 5 minute walk.
Overall, we loved Cinnamon Beach and we can’t wait to go back!!
