Designer Cinnamon Shore Lakehouse, Private Fire Pit, Resort-Like Amenities!
Enjoy the feeling of impossible serenity, in this beautifully designed custom beach home, nestled along the tranquil shores of Lake Colby. Watch as the sunlight dances across the water, filling the home with a soft, golden glow and framing breathtaking views in every direction. Step onto the balcony and let the gentle Gulf breeze wash over you as you sip something cool, the world slowing to a peaceful hush. As evening falls, wander over to the charming Town Center just moments away, where inviting restaurants and boutique shops await—close enough for convenience, yet just far enough to preserve the quiet magic of your coastal retreat.
AMENITIES: At North, resort-style amenities include three lavish pools, two scenic lakes with a fishing dock, cozy fire pits, a fully equipped fitness center, private dune crossovers, lawn games, and a pirate ship playscape. Enjoy our on-site dining options, including a Mediterranean bistro, a pizzeria, and a coffee shop and café. The vibrant Town Center brings the community together with events, activities, and live music throughout peak season and on holiday weekends.
LIVING SPACES: On the first floor, a welcoming lounge calls you to unwind. A cozy bar area and playful shuffleboard bowling set the stage for laughter and laid-back moments, whether you’re gathering with friends or enjoying a quiet movie night. Rich, deep blues wash over the space, creating a calm, soothing atmosphere that feels both intimate and indulgent. A uniquely built-in bunk bed, along with a comfortable sleeper sofa, ensures the magic lingers a little longer when the evening winds down. Upstairs, the heart of the home opens into the main living area, where light and elegance meet. The beautifully curated décor sets a warm, inviting tone—perfect for entertaining or simply savoring the moment. A fully stocked kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, where windows frame dreamy views over the Cinnamon Shore community. Just beyond, the living room offers a soft, welcoming retreat, thoughtfully designed for families to relax, reconnect, and drift into comfort after sun-soaked days by the water.
SLEEPING QUARTERS: Feel the gentle pull as you cross the threshold into the first-floor king bedroom, a quiet sanctuary complete with its own private bath—perfect for slipping away into rest and relaxation. Just down the hall, a second king bedroom awaits, equally inviting, with access to a shared bath that also serves the nearby bunk area—ideal for rinsing away the salt and sun at day’s end. Upstairs, tucked just beyond the kitchen, the primary king suite unfolds like a retreat of its own. Spacious and serene, it wraps its guests in comfort beneath a soft, coastal calm.
At Sips Ahoy, every moment feels like a gentle toast to life on the coast—where breezes, laughter, and sunlit memories linger long after you’ve sailed home.

One of the best stocked kitchens we have had in Cinnamon Shores. The wifi was awesome and they had Sonos for the whole house. You will be hard pressed to find a better house to rent in North. The attention to detail shows and you can tell the owners like using this place when they are not renting so it has more of a "home" feel. If you have not had a chance to stay on one of the lakes, this will be a treat for you.

House was lovely. Would stay again. Two small complaints: 1st the plates in the cabinet were only dishwasher TOP rack only. Can’t put a dinner plate on top rack. They also weren’t microwave safe. The other plates in cabinet that were microwave safe there weren’t enough for 6 people to have 2 meals a day without hand washing or running dishwasher. Next time I would bring paper plates. 2nd the ceiling fan remotes in all the bedrooms are on the same frequency. Made for crazy times. Other than that, would return.

The house is in a great location, clean, and very cute. This was our second year staying in this house because we loved it so much. Was fun being able to walk to the pool, ice cream truck, coffee shop etc from the house. We loved the pond/dock in the back as well to fish off of with our young kids. Will be staying here again for sure!

House was exactly as listed and had everything you could want. A bathroom for each bedroom plus 2 half baths was great. House is centrally located to everything. We rented a golf cart which is so handy but you can easily walk anywhere.

Reviewer Comments:
The home is exactly as advertised though rooms appear a bit larger on the photos. Wonderful rental.Only two complaints. Both I think “penny wise and dollar foolish”.However, would probably pick another home next year. This is our 3rd stay at CS.TV could only get “ free channels”. Not a big deal unless there are teens and preteens in the party. We would have been willing to pay for upgrades.The soaps, shampoo and limited towels were consistent with those in “Holiday InnLike facilities”. Again not a big deal but surprising again in this luxury resort home.As in previous stays, the staff, carts and beach setups were perfect. As long as our family stays in Corpus we anticipate lodging with CS but probably not Sips Ahoy.We had a great time!

We had a wonderful time. This house was well appointed with everything we needed and the most beautiful decor! We had plenty of room for two families. The location of the house could not have been better-a view of two lakes, Kiera's pool, the great lawn and a short golf card ride to the beach. It was just AMAZING. This is one of the BEST houses in Cinnamon Shore-you will not be disappointed if you stay here and we will be back!
