About the property

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.

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.

COMMUNITY AMENITIES
At South, enjoy a collection of resort-style amenities, including the Cabana Pool with an infinity edge, the Splish Splash Family Pool with a splash pad, the Glow Pool with an attached gym, Tailwind Park, the Coastline Fire Lounge, and a variety of additional parks. You’ll also find serene lakes and ponds, a community pier, scenic overlook pavilions, and a playscape for the kids. Guests also have access to the amenities at Cinnamon Shore North, including additional pools and lakes, a fitness center, on-site dining, and all the activity and charm of the Town Center.

cinnamon south excellant choice

KERRVILLE TX

5.0

540 South Shore is a nice little condo. Clean and well furnished and suitable for a small family. The location on the lake is nice. There is no view of the beach and none was promised. There is a nice adult pool as well as a really cool family pool. Get a golf cart and go to the beach. Quick and easy.

Response from Cinnamon Shore Rentals, LLC

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay! This cottage overlooks a scenic pond full of visiting shorebirds and is minutes away from the nicest section of sand on Mustang Island. Our cottage was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The hosts made the extra effort to provide deluxe mattresses! We highly recommend this cottage and will stay here again on our next trip to Cinnamon Shore South!

perfect beach get away!

Houston Texas

5.0

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!

This lakeside cottage is just fantastic. The building itself is beautiful and location is so cool. The unit is extremely well decorated and the furnishings are really comfortable, especially the chairs and the bed. One of the best equipped kitchens I've ever seen at a vacation rentals. we enjoyed cooking and dining with a water view, so if you think cooking is fun and relaxing this is great spot. The master bath is awesome. Just a good time in a great place. The Cinnamon Shores ameneties just make the experience that much better.

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!!!

Response from Cinnamon Shore Rentals, LLC

We are so happy to be here y'all were able to recharge and have such a great time at our wonderful bridge cottage. October is the best time on the Texas Coast and nothing better compliments a Texas sunset than a margarita! We look forward to having y'all back again soon!

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!

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!

Response from Cinnamon Shore Rentals, LLC

Thank you for providing your feedback on your experience at Cinnamon Shore. We are truly sorry to hear that your check in time was later than expected. We do our best to ensure that each home is available at 4pm and sometimes delays do occur. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the lovely new cottage, as well as the amenities, activities and our amazing beaches. We look forward to welcoming you back to Cinnamon Shore in the future.
