We loved the house but unfortunately the elevator was broken during our entire stay. This made it extremely difficult with littles ones and one person who has a bad foot and can’t climb 3 flights of stairs. We were promised some type of compensation but never received anything unfortunately. If we had known this prior we would have stayed somewhere else. We otherwise enjoyed the house and had it had a working elevator it would have been perfect.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 July 2026
Thank you so much for this kind review and we are truly sorry the elevator was out of service for your entire stay. With little ones and a family member with a bad foot, navigating three flights of stairs is not just inconvenient it significantly impacts the entire experience. You should have been informed before arrival so you could make the best decision for your family, and we sincerely apologize that did not happen. We are also sorry that the promised compensation was never delivered that is something we will be looking into and addressing directly. We hope you'll give us another chance in a home that is fully ready and waiting for you from the moment you arrive.

The property was listed as three stories with an elevator. Upon arrival, there was a notice on the elevator that it was not working but would be repaired. Unfortunately, the elevator was never fixed and no explanation was given why this did not happen. We called numerous times and we always given a different story. The kitchen, master bedroom, main living area and view of the ocean were on the top floor and the stairs were very narrow. We will not rent from Cinnamon Shore again.
Response from VrboOwner on 22 July 2026
Thank you for sharing this, and we are truly sorry. Renting a three-story home with an elevator only to have it remain out of service for the entirety of your stay with no resolution and inconsistent explanations each time you called is completely unacceptable. Navigating narrow stairs repeatedly to reach the kitchen, master bedroom, and main living area is not what you signed up for, and we completely understand your frustration. This falls far below the standard we hold ourselves to and we sincerely apologize. We are addressing both the elevator repair process and our communication consistency directly to ensure no future guest experiences the same. We are truly sorry this has affected your trust in us and we hope one day you'll give us another chance.

Beautifully furnished. The views from inside and the huge porches are perfect for enjoying post beach beverages. The kitchen does need some extras for a big crowd. (Large serving bowls, cutting boards, casserole dishes)

We loved staying at this beautiful home. The views from the patio were amazing! One of our favorite memories was enjoying a bonfire on the beach as a family and roasting s'mores. Having an elevator in the unit was a huge plus! Everything was very organized from the beach chair/umbrella set up to the golf cart rental. The management was great when we contacted them that we didn’t have any salt for the shuffleboard and they had it to us within the hour delivered to our unit. The only suggestion I would like to add, is if the unit could add luggage racks to set suitcases on in the bedrooms. We truly enjoyed staying here!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you loved your stay at Livin' the Dream and enjoyed the breathtaking views from the balcony. It sounds like you made some wonderful family memories, especially with the bonfire and s’mores on the beach! We’re pleased that you found the elevator convenient and appreciated the organization of the beach chair rentals, umbrella setup, and golf cart rental. It’s great to know our management team was able to assist you promptly with the shuffleboard salt. We appreciate your suggestion about adding luggage racks in the bedrooms and will be sure to share your feedback with the owner for future improvements. We’re thrilled you enjoyed your time with us and hope to welcome you back to Cinnamon Shore soon!

This home was perfect for our family get away with for us and our kids and four grandchildren! The grandkids loved the arcade and shuffleboard and we really enjoyed spending time sitting next to the fire pit with a glass of wine on the patio overlooking the ocean! The home is brand new and the décor is gorgeous with more than enough room for all of us! The two laundry rooms and beach toys and towels were convenient and much appreciated. We liked how the children had their own floor to enjoy and the adults had multiple places to hang out and relax. The pool and playground were a quick walk and the beach was just across the bridge out the front door. We will absolutely stay in this home again!

Livin'the Dream was just that! It truly is a beautiful, gulf-front, five bedroom, five and 1/2 bath professionally decorated home overlooking the ocean. Our family of 12 loved it and had a wonderful experience during our week long stay at Cinnamon Shore South. The game room and multiple living areas afforded our family privacy and plenty of space to relax, unwind and enjoy their activities. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to cook several meals there along with a private "Shrimp Boil" provided by the staff at Cinnamon Shore which was great fun. An extra bonus was having a telescope in the living room to look out at night at the Big Beautiful Harvest Moon in the sky the week of our stay. We enjoyed having dinner at "Venetian Hot Plate" in town, as well as, the restaurants, "Stouts at the Shore" & "Lisabella's" in Cinnamon Shore North. All three were delicious! Our family loved all the many amenities at North & South CS. The new shopping boutique was a hit with everyone and "Dylans Pizza" and the Shore Cafe never disappoint! The new play ground and three swimming pools at South were great and used often. We celebrated three birthdays while there with "Sugar Botany" providing two unbelievable cakes and a variety of cookies and cupcakes. A day of deep sea fishing was a highlight for those that participated! All in all, we had a great vacation which was all made possible by the gracious owners of "Livin' the Dream" sharing their dream home with us and greeting us with a personalized welcome note attached to a bottle of wine for our consumption. The staff at CS were delightful..friendly, welcoming and handled two minor issues in a timely manner. Having the beach carts delivered to our front door and the daily set-up of beach chairs and unbrellas on the beach was wonderful!Thank you to the "Livin the Dream" Owners and the Cinnamon Shore Staff for making our vacation such a great memory!

Would not recommend this house to anyone if they are renting during the summer months the A/C is controlled by the owners and the second floor and first floor were very hot for my family. bedrooms were like a sauna---If an owner has put limitations on anything in a house be it A/C, fireplace, elevator etc it needs to be posted on the web page describing the property---if I had know this I would have never rented this houseFurniture was not as nice as other houses at Cinnamon Shore that I have stayed inVery small living room and kitchen for 11 peopleonly 6 people had a place to sit in the living areano hose to rinse off our beach equipment to get the sand offfire alarm went off and it took maintenance 15 or so minutes while we had to stand outside in the rain or sit in our cars to get away from the very loud alarmI will say Amanda in the office did a wonderful job of trying to help in anyway she could!
