About this property

Coastal Cottage on Bridge w/ Lake Views & Amenities@Cinnamon Shore South

Some beach houses are just a place to sleep. Life is Good Today is a destination within a destination. Perched directly on Storybook Bridge at Cinnamon Shore South, this two-story coastal cottage puts you on the water from the moment you arrive — surrounded by a shimmering lake teeming with fish and ducks, with the Gulf breeze rolling in and the boardwalk steps from your door. It’s an easy stroll to the cabana-lined pools, the café at South, the two-way dune crossover to a less-crowded stretch of beach, and the newest community pool — less than two minutes away on foot.

AMENITIES
At Cinnamon Shore South, enjoy resort-style amenities including signature pools, fitness facilities, parks and green spaces, and private dune crossovers. Guests also enjoy lake access with fishing pavilions, a lakeside boardwalk, and a children's playscape. Don’t forget, amenities at Cinnamon Shore North are also yours to enjoy, including additional pools, lakes, a fitness center, on-site dining, and vibrant Town Center events.

MAIN LIVING SPACE — Designed to Gather, Built to Sleep Well
The first floor, open-concept living area does double duty beautifully. Panoramic picture windows frame an unobstructed lake view that never gets old, while transoms flood the space with coastal light. The wall-mounted smart TV keeps everyone entertained when it’s time to recharge and relax from a long day on the beach.
The full-size dining table comfortably seats up to six, making it perfect for everything from big family breakfasts to lively game nights, card marathons, or sharing a meal after a long day at the beach—there’s room for everyone. The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking a breeze, featuring stainless steel appliances, a built-in microwave, and an under-mount sink for easy cleanup. And when it’s time to fire up the gas grill, the family’s pit master will have everything needed to take center stage.
For ultimate comfort, the custom-built Queen Plus sofa sleeper by American Leather is designed to make every night feel like a dream. Known for craftsmanship you can truly feel, it features genuine memory foam construction without the discomfort of a center bar—creating a sleep experience that guests consistently rave about. More than just a sofa, it’s a real bed in disguise, making it an ideal choice for kids or any guest who deserves more than just a place to crash

SLEEPING QUARTERS — Resort-Quality Rest, Every Night
As you venture further, the second floor reveals a barn door entrance into a serene king suite dressed in turquoise, sail white, coral, and driftwood — a coastal palette that feels curated, not generic. Soaring ceilings amplify the sense of space, and the lake view from the windows makes waking up here feel a little more special.
The king bed is truly in a league of its own. Carefully chosen to reflect the home’s elevated style, it offers the kind of deep, cloud-like comfort you’d expect from a high-end suite—the kind of sleep that makes you forget you’re away from home. After a full day at the beach, it’s exactly what you’ll look forward to.
The twin sleeping area continues with that same commitment to quality: two Twin XL mattresses at 13.5 inches of extra-plush depth — no flipping a coin over who gets the “good bed” at Life is Good Today, because every bed is the good bed. The trio of windows above them fills the room with natural light, and the built-in storage nooks underneath keep things tidy.
The spacious bathroom features dual vanities and a glass-front walk-in shower. Step through to the private balcony — table and chairs ready — for morning coffee with a lake view or a sunset cocktail without leaving the suite.
Book Life is Good Today, where every detail matters — stay on mattresses that rival your bed at home, in a location on the water that no landlocked rental can match. Here, the sun shines brightly and the family ventures together. Life really is good today.

GREAT FEATURES
The bridge pavilion extends your living space outdoors with room to relax, cast a line into the lake (fishing gear available at the rental office!), and simply soak in the coastal scenery that surrounds Life is Good Today on all sides.

Perfect beach get away!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect for our family of four (2 adults/2 kids-5/7) and just as described. The twin beds in the master are perfect for kids so you can still have the downstairs when they go to bed. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed, plenty of seating in the living room and the chairs on the porch were perfect to watch the kids fish. Golf cart service was super easy and was there when we arrived. Pool and beach were a quick gold ride away. The construction was not noisy early or late in the day and didn’t bother us at all. 5 stars and would definitely go back!

Much needed getaway!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Both me and my Fiancé work retail and the hustle and bustle has been none stop and only going to be more intense with the holidays coming up! That being said we always take a week in October to reboot. Cinnamon Shore was the perfect spot to do it! The service was great, the cottage was beautiful and the resort feel was phenomenal! The pizzeria had really good food and margaritas! The Cafe by the pool also had good food. We rented a golf cart (super easy they dropped it off to us early) and we were able to ride into town as well as up and down the coast on the beach. The pools were pristine and the scenery was breath taking! We had some really nice pics of the sunsetting. We are definitely coming back!!!

It is so cute and charming!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of the cottage was just the best! You feel like you are floating on water when lounging on the twin beds upstairs or sitting on the couch downstairs. The kids fed the fish and ducks from the patio, and we ate a steak dinner upstairs on the balcony in the evening as the sun set and it was so gorgeous. This is our new favorite cottage at Cinnamon Shore! I thought the construction at South would be a deterrent, but all the construction in this area is done and all other is so far you can’t hear it. The discount because of it was just a bonus. The walkway along the lake went straight to the giant pool and was so convenient and scenic. My family of 4 will be back soon to Life is Good Today, guaranteed!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our experience at the “Life is Good Today” cottage was awesome. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay, but the only drawback that we were not allowed to check-in at 4:00. Our property wasn’t ready until well after 6pm, so waiting those two hours with eager kids was rough, but other than that one negative, the rest of our time in this cottage was great. It was clean and gorgeous!

Review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay overall was good! Upon arrival the house was very cold- 54 degrees and the heat was not on, so we had to wait for about 2 hours for the house to heat up. Also, the TV Wi-Fi had to be worked on by 2 maintenance guys which took up quite a lot of time. We arrived at 3pm and was told our house was being checked on and it would be ready soon. I arrived back at 4pm (check-in time) and it still was not ready until 4:30pm due to inspections. I would have hoped the heat and Wi-Fi was something that should be included in an inspection, but that was not the case. It was a lovely, very clean, pretty house, but the check in experience was not the best. I highly recommend the property for smaller size families.
