A Texas Beach Town on the Rise
The Wall Street Journal Highlights Port Aransas and Cinnamon Shore
Cinnamon Shore has long been a favorite for families and beach lovers, but a recent article in The Wall Street Journal confirms what many of our guests already know: Port Aransas is one of Texas’s hottest coastal destinations—and Cinnamon Shore is right in the heart of it.
Titled “Home Prices Have Exploded in the Once Sleepy Fishing Village of Port Aransas,,” the article shines a light on our island town’s transformation from a laid-back fishing village into a thriving, sought-after beach community.

Port Aransas, known affectionately as “Port A,” has seen home values soar 155% over the past decade. The article credits this growth to the surge in high-end development, including planned communities like Cinnamon Shore, which offer a resort-style experience right on the Texas coast.
The story describes Port Aransas vacation rentals' distinct charm—a mix of casual beach vibes, colorful cottages, and quirky character—with golf carts on every street, bait shops around the corner, and a beach culture all its own.
Spotlight on Cinnamon Shore
Cinnamon Shore was one of the premier communities featured. With a master plan by Florida-based Urban Designer Mark Schnell, Cinnamon Shore was praised for its thoughtful layout, community programming, and beachside amenities—from food trucks and pools to parks and pavilions.
Interiors expert Moni Briones called out popular design features in newer homes here, like golf cart garages, sea-glass tones, and airy floor plans—perfect for making the most of life on the coast.
