Cinnamon Shore- Great Escape 195 BE

The little shopping area at Cinnamon Shore is calm and charming, more a handful of boutiques and local spots than a regular mall. There isn’t a huge selection, but what’s there is nicely presented and fits the relaxed coastal feel. It’s a pleasant place to browse, maybe pick up something small, and take your time without much noise or crowds. Clean spaces, thoughtful design, and the nearby beach make walking around enjoyable. The architecture and layout give the area the feel of a small coastal community, not just a shopping stop. If you’re close by, it’s a nice change from a busy shopping center, though it’s not the place for endless options or big brands.

Megan and the staff really came through for us. When I arrived at the cute two-story cottage, I realized the Airbnb listing had misrepresented it: there wasn’t a first-floor bedroom for my mom, and I knew she couldn’t manage stairs all weekend. I went back to the office nearly in tears. They found us another place where we could take the elevator to the third floor and stay on one level. Since Airbnb bookings are nonrefundable and non-changeable, I was impressed they helped at all, and they even gave us a major upgrade without charging more. I would’ve been stuck anywhere else. Cinnamon was outstanding and very hospitable, with a great location and fantastic restaurants on site. I’m not usually a resort girl, but wanted an easy trip for my mom. We enjoyed several resort pools and the balconies. We’ll definitely return.

The house worked really well for several families, with a layout that let all 15 of us fit comfortably in the common areas. We stayed four nights at Coastal Charm, and the location made things easy with kids: we overlooked the Dune Pool and could walk to the beach. We could have used a couple more dishwasher and laundry pods, but luckily we’d brought extras. Just perfect.

For our immediate family wedding weekend, Southern Belle gave us a lovely way to all stay under one roof. It’s a stunning, thoughtfully designed four-bedroom home, very well stocked, especially with glassware, and the location was perfect. We also hired Hannah for our wedding photos. She was warm, professional, and responsive from our first phone call through the wedding day. Keeping our spirited, hard-of-hearing family members organized was no small job, and she handled it gracefully. She’s a 10/10 photographer. We first stayed in a condo in May 2025, then came back in February 2026 for the wedding. We love this place, and Cinnamon Shore really is special.
