The rental was great! We were there with our 3 girls and the rental was fabulous. Spacious and clean with a nice outdoor balcony that we enjoyed sitting on at night and catching the breeze. The condo was well located and we enjoyed a lovely long weekend getaway!

We loved the Pura Vida property! Everything was as described & the unit was clean and properly outfitted with the basics. Pizza @ Dylan’s & gelato @ the coffee place were delicious. Having a golf cart was clutch! The pools were great. It was all good and we would recommend to friends and family.

I took my family to Cinnamon Shore over Spring Break. The property was spectacular and our unit couldn't have been better. Master suite on one side and two bedrooms both with bunks on the other that shared a bathroom.
Customer service was over the top! I highly recommend Pura Vida . It will not disappoint

We thoroughly enjoyed Pura Vida. Spacious, perfect layout, clean, new, nice 3rd floor corner unit (though some street noise but that's to be expected spring break). Beds were super comfy and it was nicely decorated. We will be back!

Perfect for our Family
by San Antonio TX

This is our second time to stay in a condo - we're a family of 5 with kids that are 8, 6, and 3. We are big fans of this condo for multiple reasons, including:
* 3rd Floor Corner. You don't share a wall with another condo and there are no pounding feet above you. This one also has a great view of the Great Lawn.
* Master is on opposite side of common room from two bunk rooms which share a jack and jill.
* Well stocked in all the things you'll need in the kitchen.
Not too many downsides. I think if you had two families, it might be a little tight but you could pull it off. Our biggest challenge was there was no working ice maker. The review prior to our rental mentioned the broken ice maker, so we called ahead and requested it be fixed. When we arrived it was still broken - we reported it the first day of our 7 day stay and it did not get fixed.
We were fine buying ice, but worth noting if only that someone eventually fixes it!

The best family vacation ever!

Our stay was absolutely great. There was nothing that we wanted for , except maybe a broom, to have a relaxing few days. Not only was the condo excellent but all amenities in the complex are outstanding. The pools are beautiful and grounds so well manicured. All of the evening entertainment was enjoyed by all members of the family. The ability to have a golf cart to go to and from the beach and up and down the beach was a real treat for all of us. Thank you.

Our ice machine was broken the entire trip, we called maintenance multiple times and the problem was never fixed. No one enjoys a warm beverage in the middle of summer so this was a major issue. Besides that, we had a great time, loved the condo and will be returning soon!

This was our second time renting at Cinnamon Shores. Condo was lovely- very clean and well appointed. We were party of 7 and very comfortable. Minor criticisms only- kitchen sink didn't work great and we would have appreciated bit more lighting in the living room (single lamp didn't work and only other lighting was ceiling). Overall a terrific spot and would highly recommend.

I rented this unit for several weeks during a warmer than usual February. I was able to introduce many Northerners to the beauty of the Texas Gulf. This is a well-designed, well-stocked unit, most suitable for parties up to 6, though there are more beds. I enjoyed the patio for four in the mornings and evenings and the staff at Cinnamon Shores could not have been more accommodating. Great restaurant and amenities on site. Hope to return. A superior vacation awaits.

We loved our stay at Pura Vida. Well appointed, great layout, clean and inviting. We loved location and vaulted ceilings made the condo feel so open and spacious. Only caution: oven runs hot so lower your temperature and adjust your time to ensure you don't burn your foods. We would definitely enjoy staying here again.

We just ended our second stay at Pura Vida, and we will be back! It is beautifully decorated and inviting. The three bedrooms are all large...perfect for our two families with children. It is spotless and well-maintained. The elevator to the building makes loading/unloading easy. We spent our days at the beach and both pools, which are amazing. We can't wait to go back!

Another lovely vacation at Cinnamon Shore!
by Fort Worth TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5

My family of 10 (7 adults, 3 children) thoroughly enjoyed our four nights in Pura Vida. This condo was the best equipped rental in which any of us have stayed. The layout of this condo was very well thought out, and the decor is lovely. All beds and bedding were very comfy, including the sleeper sofa. A big plus was that the balcony received afternoon shade. Prior summer we rented a house, but since we could only fit 4 nights into our schedules, we opted for a condo. Surprisingly, my family preferred the condo as the kitchen was BIG which meant all the adults could pitch in for meal prep and the bunk room was large, easily accommodating 2 adults and 2 children with plenty of storage for their belongings. We enjoyed all the activities (we were there for July 4th) and are already planning our next vacation at Cinnamon Shore.

Arrived here as stayed 6 nights. This condo is decorated so nicely and the furniture and beds are so comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and lots of seating at the bar and dining table. A corner unit with lots of windows and views! The pull down shades give excellent privacy. We hope to return.

The floor was very sandy…understand that happens near the beach. We did vacuum a couple times and it was better. It was well decorated and clean other then sand. Lots of storage area/closets. Too many bunk beds for our group which caused bad air circulation for bottom bunk.
