Reviewer Comments:
The rental overall was great. Lots of space. Most of my complaint are minor....the window covering in the bedrooms did little to darken the rooms. The walls are a little thin, and this particular unit had a lot of exterior noise as well...we could hear music and noise from the central lawn in the evenings. My major complaint? The dishwasher was terrible. Didn't clean at all. Which was noted on a previous review and completely inappropriate during a pandemic! I didn't trust that any of the dishes in the unit were clean. Also, housekeeping was questionable. There was trash on the dining room chairs and pieces of dried sausage under the couch. Again, not the standard of cleanliness I was hoping for during a pandemic stay.In regards to social distancing, I had several moments where I didn't feel it was being adequately enforced. I did a carryout from Dylan's, and there was no touchless pay options (staff handled my credit card, I had to handle their pen) which is OK if you have readily available hand sanitizer (they did not; I had to ask, and was provided one from somebody's purse stash). Neither the cashier nor customers in the market were wearing masks (although the cashier had one around her neck.) Walked into C-bar to look around and not a single person behind the bar was wearing a mask. And this is during a July stay, in the midst of a big surge in Nueces county. I think you can successfully visit here safely, but you have to bring your own food and drink and avoid interacting with any of the indoor staff. Cinnamon Shores itself is little strange...has a very manufactured, sterile, Truman Show feel to it. However, the beach access is great and easy, with handy beach chairs and umbrellas available to rent. Overall, it was a welcome break and I would do it again. Just expect that their claims of "Coastal distancing" are lip service and they aren't consistently practicing it.
