We absolutely love Cinnamon Shore and look forward to visiting every year! Our time at Glass Half Full was perfect for our family of 4. It was fresh, clean, and had everything we needed! Also loved the bunk bed for our girls and separate bathrooms. Only small suggestion would be to have options for warmer bedding and/or blankets to cover up with at night!We highly recommend Glass Half Full and would definitely return!

Reviewer Comments:
Beautifully furnished and great location. Was surprised to find a rather small master with a queen bed, but made sense as there was a bunk room with its own bathroom. Would recommend for a family with small children, but we would probably rent a cottage with a larger master next time since our boys are grown. There was a funky musty odor that followed us home so recommend looking into that.

Reviewer Comments:
Condo was clean, tidy and overall a great place. It was well equipped, not like others where we had to go to Target and buy kitchen stuff.We did identify the following items.1. Water flow in the unit is low, especially in the half-bath.2. Outdoor shower is inconveniently located and didn't find it until days later.3. Primary bath sliding door does not close completely.4. Primary bath shower door needs adjusting so it can close completely.5. Refrigerator wasn't working when we checked in, it was turned off. Maintenance turned it on and provided a small temporary unit until the frig reach cool temperature overnight.6. Too many pillows on the bed of the primary bedroom!! Why so many and no place to put them in order to get in bed.

Glass Half full was new, classy, spacious, well-appointed, and clean. Being right by the pond was a beautiful view! Beds were comfy and there were plenty of essentials in the home. The home is beautifully styled and music was playing when we arrived, which was a nice touch! Shades on blinds by the stairs are needed, as you look right into bunk area from outside. The bunk bathroom door would not stay closed and does not have a lock. The bedroom patio door lock may need adjusting. All small things & did not dampen our trip but wanted to let you know!

Reviewer Comments:
The Glass Half Full Cottage was lovely, very clean, comfortable beds, and great location. We were supplied with the little amenities that make a big difference including hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels. It was nice not having to worry about those small things while on the trip. We did have to clean the dishes again when we got there because there were stains on several but that may have been a one off from the occupants before us. I do recommend renting a golf cart as the walk to the beach is a little far but so easy with a golf cart. I would highly recommend this trip/cottage to others and can't wait to stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
We were told about Cinnamon Shores by a friend that had stayed their with her family the summer prior. We had not been on a vacation in almost four years and were incredibly COVID conscious. Cinnamon Shores and the Glass Half Full House met all our expectations and more. The house was spotless and smelled clean. The space was perfect and close amenities around the property made our short stay that much more enjoyable when the beach had tides so high that our beach day turned out to be not as much of an option. The pool was so relaxing and family friendly and the bartenders made incredible drinks. We have already booked our stay for next summer and can't wait to be back!
