Cinnamon Shore Opens New Phase & Makes Limited Homesites Available on Oct. 9, 2021

  Registered Buyers Get Early Pricing Details, Personalized Assistance & First Choice of Prime Coastal Property

Port Aransas, Texas, September 29, 2021 —Continued interest in Cinnamon Shore’s newest village has prompted this Gulf Coast community’s upcoming property release, with 40 homesites available for the first time on Sat., Oct. 9, 2021. During “Come Home to Cinnamon Shore” Weekend, buyers will have first choice of prime sites in Cinnamon Shore South’s  brand-new phase, which offers new amenities and spectacular locations along a future lake, parks, and scenic, palm-lined  streets. Plus, several new, Gulf-front sites and two sites along a future pond will be available.

See a map of the homesites that will be available HERE.

Buyers must register HERE by Wed., Oct. 6, 2021, to participate, but they do not have to be present to make a site selection. They can work with Cinnamon Shore Realty in advance, receiving pricing, Design Code details, and personalized assistance as they move toward a property decision. Then, on Sat., Oct. 9, 2021, they can simply text or call with their top choice.

“This is a huge opportunity for buyers looking to build on the Texas Coast and for real estate investors,” says Jeff Lamkin, developer of Cinnamon Shore. “This group of homesites has proximity to some exciting, new community features, and it’s one of the last chances for buyers to build in this Gulf-side village.”

This new phase offers sites near these enviable amenities:

·        A 4-acre lake with fishing pavilions and community firepit

·        The largest, resort-style pool in Cinnamon Shore, with renderings unveiled soon

·        Athletic courts for pickleball, basketball, and volleyball

·        A new dune crossover for easy beach access

·        Paver-lined Sundown Court, a gathering place lined with park benches, perfect for visiting and strolling

·        An allée of palms, creating a grand promenade leading to the beachfront

The advantageous homesites offer buyers the chance to lock in low interest rates ahead of construction. Once they reserve their site on Oct. 9, they can start designing home plans and interiors right away, secure financing for a construction loan, interview builders, and be ready to start building as soon as the plat is final. “Beginning the process now means buyers can get into their new beach homes in the fastest timeframe possible,” says Jodi Peters, managing broker of Cinnamon Shore Realty. “Our agents can walk buyers through every step and introduce them top designers, architects, and lenders. We can help them create a great team for their journey to joining the Cinnamon Shore family.” View the Cinnamon Shore “Designer and Architects” flipbook HERE.

When buyers register to participate, they commit to joining the Preferred Buyers List by putting down a refundable  $5,000 fee that they can put toward the purchase of a site on Oct. 9 or keep in escrow toward a future Cinnamon Shore property purchase. Preferred Buyers receive exclusive news on future property releases, priority pricing details, resale listing previews, customized help from knowledgeable agents, and the first opportunity to make property selections at all property releases.

Port Aransas, Texas, May 05, 2021 — Cinnamon Shore continues to beat its vacation rental numbers, as more and more families discover this charming, Gulf-side village on the outskirts of Port Aransas, Texas.

 In fact, during March 2021, vacation rental guests booked 1,351 properties, an impressive 414% increase over March 2020. By the end of April, total year-over-year bookings at Cinnamon Shore for 2021 were already up 320%, pacing at three times the revenue of 2020. 

“Once people discover Cinnamon Shore, so many want to come back,” says Jeff Lamkin, developer. “We see it time and time again, as families make our community part of their beach traditions.” Testimonials from Cinnamon Shore photo contests show how eager guests are to return: 

[Cinnamon Shore] is like a little town of its own … like your home the minute you get there … will definitely be back soon.”

-Christina H. 

“Hopefully bringing the whole family next time”

--Lori Z. 

“My little boy had the best time at the beach and the pool. We loved the family environment at Cinnamon Shore and will definitely  be back…”

--Kacie S. 

Introducing New Urbanism to Texas beachgoers at its inception, Cinnamon Shore combines top-tier architecture, building technology, and interior design with a family-friendly vibe and resort amenities. New Urban living promises a return to a classic neighborhood layout, with walkable streets, front-porch charm and shared public spaces―where everything a resident could want is close at hand. 

On the coast, the No. 1 draw, is, of course, the beach, and Cinnamon Shore maintains a manicured beachfront that is accessible via graceful dune crossovers. All the other amenities, including three resort pools, on-site restaurants, a coffee shop, market, fitness center and dog park, are also within an easy stroll. Families socialize on the Town Center green, where a concert series jazzes up weekends and outdoor movie nights delight the kids. On the Great Lawn, kids play games and make s’mores around a fire pit. With scenic vistas at every turn, the community attracts families looking for an upscale beach destination with character and style—a place that understands the heart of beach lovers. 

This original community―now known as Cinnamon Shore North―has fulfilled its original promise of a traditional seaside village. Now, the Cinnamon Shore lifestyle extends to a quickly rising expansion called Cinnamon Shore South, just about 1.5 miles away. “There’s such a demand for the type of beachfront community we’re creating,” Lamkin says. “And we’re gearing up to offer a full slate of events for summer’s high season.” 

From May 1 through Labor Day, a weekly roster of events provides countless options for family-friendly fun, including:

Sandcastle Building Lessons

Trivia Night at Dylan’s Coal Oven Pizzeria

Second Homebuyers’ Investment at Cinnamon Shore Helps Transform the Texas Coast

  Rapid Growth at Cinnamon Shore Fuels Interest in Luxury Coastal Lifestyle, With Great Investment Potential as The Community Expands 

Port Aransas, Texas, January 20, 2021 — The first, New Urban neighborhood on the Texas Coast, established in 2007, has become the standard for coastal, luxury development in the Lone Star State. And 2020’s performance at Cinnamon Shore, located in Port Aransas, Texas, shows why. 

With a 54% increase in total vacation bookings and a 75% increase rental revenue in 2020 over 20219, it’s apparent that word has spread about Cinnamon Shore. Furthermore, Cinnamon Shore North and its expansion, Cinnamon Shore South, together added almost 120 new homeowning families to the neighborhood, primarily from Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas-Ft. Worth—all driving distance. 

“While 2020 was an anomaly, due to flexible work and school schedules during the pandemic, Texas vacationers and homebuyers were clearly attracted to Cinnamon Shore in record numbers, and we expect more of the same for 2021,” says Jeff Lamkin, developer of Cinnamon Shore. “We’re offering a quality, master-planned resort community that, until recently, was only available in far-away Florida.” 

With 136 total properties sold in 2020 and an 85% increase in total sales volume closed in 2020 over 2019, Cinnamon Shore Realty also had its best annual results. “People recognize the investment opportunity,” says Jodi Peters, managing broker at Cinnamon Shore Realty. “They’re investing in real estate, but also in their family legacy.” 

Great Potential for Rental Income

Homeowners at Cinnamon Shore often join the Vacation Rental pool, and they’re seeing typical rental income potential that ranges between $50,000 and 300,000 annually, depending on property type and location. “The numbers tell the story, and they can be a real incentive,” Lamkin says. 

For instance, in 2020, a three-bedroom beach home at Cinnamon Shore generated an average rental revenue of $82,000, with the top producer garnering $119,000 in rental income. A three-bedroom condo earned an average $78,000 in rental revenue. Several, upscale beach homes generated $200,000-plus in rental revenue, with the top producer exceeding $300,000. And these figures include owner usage. 

With on-site property management and an active Community Owners Association, guests and homeowners enjoy amenities such as resort-style pools,  a fitness center, family-friendly activities, and holiday events. Whether relaxing under signature, coral-and-white umbrellas or warming by beach bonfires, vacationers find the resort alluring year-round. 

The Need for Growth

With the original community fully built, Cinnamon Shore South broke ground in 2018, and it’s grown quickly, with the most recent phase selling out in almost three days last fall. With only a handful of home sites currently available at ‘South,’ a new phase will open in May. 

The developer also has announced new acquisitions on the bay side of Mustang Island, along with a new Gulf-side tract—both set to be developed over the next decade and beyond. “We’ll take our time and do it right,” Lamkin says, noting that the bay site has deep-water access and the potential for new amenities. 

Selected as the location for show homes by magazines such as Southern Living and Coastal Living and chosen by Port Aransas as the partner and as the location for the city’s new hotel and conference center, Cinnamon Shore has already made its mark on the Texas Coast. It’s set to continue raising the standard.

Cinnamon Shore for the Holidays: Your Holiday Home Away from Home Awaits

  The Texas Coast’s popular, resort-style village helps families make memorable celebrations.

Port Aransas, Texas, November 17, 2020 — Holidays typically draw families home, but this December, many are looking to gather for celebrations elsewhere. After all, everyone has spent a lot of time at home in the pandemic era.

Vacationers are choosing road trips to the Texas Coast—and to Cinnamon Shore, with its record-breaking reservations for vacation rentals. “We still have availability this December, however, and guests will enjoy seeing our community all decked out,” says Jeff Lamkin, developer of this New Urban development located on the outskirts of Port Aransas. “Families really enjoy spending the quiet week before New Year’s here, too.”

People are seeking to be together in a place that feels special, but also private, safe, and secure—with wide open spaces and plenty of fresh air. That’s what Cinnamon Shore offers. “With all the challenges and changes that 2020 has brought, it’s a great year to try something different around the holidays and to celebrate in a place where all you have to do is relax,” says Celeste Edwards, general manager of Cinnamon Shore Vacation Rentals.

Those who book this December will appreciate all that this charming destination offers:

·        Large beach homes that can accommodate multiple families. Many Cinnamon Shore rentals boast two master suites, two living areas, multiple decks, designer kitchens, and plenty of seating for mealtimes.

·        Condos and cottages with master suites and bunks rooms. Smaller scale rentals also offer everything families need. And one-bedroom condos welcome couples or solo guests.

·        A fitness center overlooking the Dune Pool. Keep moving during holiday getaways with Peloton bikes, treadmills, and more. Our workout center keeps safety top of mind with limited capacity and stringent cleaning standards.

·        On-site restaurants. Guests can enjoy popular newcomers at Cinnamon Shore―Dylan’s Coal Oven Pizzeria and Coffee Waves, along with long-time favorite Lisabella’s Bistro.

·        Village retail. The Bottle Shoppe liquor store opened in 2020, along with The Market, which offers sundries, produce, cheeses, and Cinnamon Shore merchandise.

·        Easy beach access. Dune crossovers make it easy for guests of all ages to get to the beach via a stroll or golf cart ride.

·        Quiet season charms. The less-crowded beach is just as beautiful in cooler weather.

Cinnamon Shore has grown into a full-fledged resort-style village with luxury accommodations, and its nearby expansion, Cinnamon Shore South, offers more beachside rentals with designer selections and style.

Special Dates During The Holidays

The Christmas season kicks off at Cinnamon Shore with a visit from Santa and his reindeer on Sat., Nov. 28, when families can take photos in the Town Center. Port Aransas hosts its Golf Cart Parade and Lighted Boat Parade on Sat., Dec. 5—another great weekend to book at Cinnamon Shore. And for holiday celebrations with family and friends before, during, or after Christmas Day itself, guests will have a gorgeous beachfront where they can bundle up for beach walks or football tossing. Many rentals have fireplaces for cozy holiday nights.

If vacationers can’t make before Christmas, the week between Christmas and New Year’s is a quiet season favorite. On New Year’s Eve, chef-run Lisabella’s Bistro will offer a prix fixe menu.

“We hope many guests make spending time at the beach a new holiday tradition,” says Edwards.

Cinnamon Shore Announces Rare, Newly Renovated Gulf-Front Home Hitting the Market This Week

Buyers looking for Gulf-Front property within driving distance of major Texas cities should know about this opportunity to get the coastal lifestyle from homeowners who perfected it.

Port Aransas, Texas, July 10, 2020 - Those who know Cinnamon Shore―the upscale, New Urbanist development on the outskirts of Port Aransas, Texas―know there is only one row of fewer than 20 homes that have direct Gulf views. Owners rarely put these Gulf-front tier homes on the market, but this week, a stunning, recently renovated, 4-story masterpiece will be listed.

Nestled behind protective dunes, 186 Seaside Drive offers almost 5,000 square feet of living space, with five bedrooms, three main living areas, and a top-floor tower and bunk area; an additional 1,600 square feet of porches and decks; and 550 square feet of garage and storage space. Furthermore, the seller will give the buyer the opportunity to complete the coastal lifestyle with first rights to purchase a 35-foot Boston whaler, boat slip, and airplane/boat hangar nearby.

“This is an incredible opportunity to have the Gulf-front lifestyle of your dreams—in an instant,” said Jodi Peters, broker at Cinnamon Shore Realty. “These types of homes rarely make it to the market, and we anticipate high interest.”

Listed at $2.7 million, the residence is built atop Gulf-front property that’s in very short supply in Texas, and the home has value that goes beyond its incredible architecture, interiors and Gulf-front views. “People purchase these types of homes because they want to give their families a place to gather and memories for a lifetime,” Peters said.

Yet the home’s design represents thoughtful consideration of how to enjoy every aspect of beachfront living, and the renovations and additions completed in 2015, before Hurricane Harvey, and after 2018, post Harvey, make it an even more incredible value. The home has undergone extensive cosmetic updates, including new exterior paint, interior paint refreshes, the addition of a Sub-Zero refrigerator to the already incredible kitchen, and refinished and newly stained hardwoods. It also has upgrades that increase its longevity in coastal conditions, including:

New systems, such as the air conditioning system with three units and a whole house dehumidifier
New Marvin windows and door
New foam insulation in attic and walls
New exterior siding with “air barrier” membrane
New Trex composite patio and steps
Newly done work on the metal roof
Cinnamon Shore Realty can share other recent renovations, including details on new landscaping and new window treatments.

Throughout the home, handsome woodwork and trim, coffered ceilings, and other details convey sophistication in a still-relaxed coastal scheme. With a main living space on the ground floor for easy access, Gulf views from all top-floor bedrooms, and extras such as a “man-cave” with its own mini-fridge and freezer, this house meets multi-generational vacation needs and represents a standard of luxury not often found on the Texas Gulf Coast.

To learn more about 186 Seaside Drive, contact Cinnamon Shore Realty at 361-749-185, email jodi@cinnamonshore.com, or view the listing [link to come]. For more about the community, visit cinnamonshore.com.

Road Trip to Luxury to Cinnamon Shore on the Texas Coast

With global travel on hold or cancelled, Texans are looking for vacation destinations closer to home.

Salinas, CA, June 19. 2020 - With global travel on hold or cancelled, Texans are looking for vacation destinations closer to home. And they do not have to look far or settle for less. Consider a feature on “Road Trips to Luxury” about easy-to-drive-to destinations right here in Texas—with Cinnamon Shore as the obvious choice for the coastal destination!

“Road Trip to Luxury”
There’s an idyllic community on the Texas Coast that combines all the resort amenities a family could want—a broad and breezy beach, luxury accommodations, gorgeous pools, great dining options, family-friendly activities—all without the slog of a drive to Florida or boarding a plane.

New-found luxury on the Texas Coast
Luxury hasn’t always been synonymous with the Texas Coast. But that changed when Cinnamon Shore was established in 2008 on the outskirts of Port Aransas, Texas. The master-planned community nestled behind protective dunes on the Gulf Coast now boasts almost 300 high-end beach residences that serve as second homes and vacation rentals, drawing discriminating, yet down-to-earth families who enjoy beachside luxury when they vacation.

What Sets Cinnamon Shore Apart
The epitome of the New Urbanist architectural movement, Cinnamon Shore is a walkable village that offers the charm of small-town America. Front porches lined with rockers recall the best of Southern architectural traditions, while paver sidewalks and pocket parks promote a neighborly feel. Cottage-style details reminiscent of the grand, old East Coast beach homes that line the Atlantic Coast, help the new community feel rooted to the past. And great dining options, fitness classes, and a roster of activities and events year-round keep guests entertained when they’re not enjoying the beachfront.

Resort highlights include:
Easy beach access over three, visually striking dune crossovers.
Three community pools: The Dune Pool, which hosts paddleboard yoga in a palm-lined setting; Kiera’s Pool, with an infinity edge looking to scenic Lake Gavin; and Stillwater Pool, heated year-round.
Great on-site dining options: upscale Mediterranean-style Lisabella’s Bistro; family-friendly Dylan’s Coal Oven Pizzeria, way more than a pizza parlor; and Coffee Waves, with a premium selection of java, smoothies, and breakfast fare.
Entertainment and activities: Live Music concerts on an outdoor stage; Movies Under the Stars on grassy Town Center; Yoga on the Beach; Paddleboard Yoga at The Dune Pools; Pilates on the Deck around Kiera’s Pool; Beach Bonfire Set-up; Bike Rentals; Fishing Gear rentals; and more.
Two community lakes: Lake Colby, fully stocked with a fishing pier for everyone to use, and Lake Gavin.
Fitness Center, a stand-alone facility with plenty of equipment accessible to all guests.
In-car Check-In and On-Site Property Management for quick solutions to any maintenance needs during a stay.

Help your readers discover an upscale vacation experience right here on the Texas Coast!
Drive times from Dallas/Fort Worth (6.5 hours), Houston (3.75 hours), Austin (3.5 hours) and San Antonio (2.5 hours) beat the 13- to 16-hour drive over to Florida beach resort towns. Instead, Texans can have the same kind of accommodations and beach access right here in Texas.

Cinnamon Shore Reopens, Welcomes Families Eager to Return to the Texas Coast

New protocols and procedures promote social distancing and create a haven for family fun after weeks of isolation.

Port Aransas, Texas, May 04, 2020 - Cinnamon Shore is now open to the public and for short-term vacation rentals, in line with the decision of the Port Aransas Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Board to open the city for fun on May 1, 2020. As families eager to escape isolation head for wide open spaces like the broad beaches of Mustang Island, they will find a safe haven at Cinnamon Shore.

“We’re thrilled to welcome guests back to Cinnamon Shore, with the right changes in place to ensure everyone has a great time and remains socially distant in our little beachside town,” says Jeff Lamkin, CEO of Sea Oats Group, developer of Cinnamon Shore.

The community is following the Texas governor’s executive order for reopening Texas. Under current guidelines, the development’s Dune Pool, Kiera’s Pool and Stillwater Pool remain closed, but when the governor’s order allows public pool usage in a later phase, Cinnamon Shore will have stringent sanitizing procedures and social distancing measures in place. On-site restaurants Lisabella’s Bistro and Dylan’s Coal Oven Pizzeria are now open for to-go orders, and they’re offering special Mother’s Day menus on Sun., May 10.

Other new measures to ensure the safety of homeowners, guests, and employees include:
• In-car check-in/check-out procedures, with concierge service so guests never have to enter the vacation rental office.
• More frequent sanitizing of public areas, including elevators and stairwell railings, outdoor seating, and play areas.
• Signage around the property to remind guests of social distancing.
• Guest room cleaning with industry-leading sanitizing protocols, including attention to high-touch items such as remote controls, light switches, and the like.
• Discontinuation of indoor social activities, as well as select outdoor activities.

For a complete look at the procedures and processes that Cinnamon Shore is establishing during this phase, see “We’re Reopening! Welcome Back.”

Meeting pent-up demand
Many Cinnamon Shore homeowners weathered the stay-at-home orders inside the village, enjoying spacious living quarters, walking the wide-open beach, and enjoying life beside the scenic lakes, dunes, and parks. Now, Lamkin says, pent-up demand for easy-to-drive-to vacation destinations will cause families to reserve vacation rental spots quickly for the rest of May and the peak summer season. “People are looking for alternatives to air travel for vacation time with family, and they’re looking closer to home,” he says.

With a full roster of family-friendly activities for Mother’s Day Weekend, Memorial Day, and into the summer, Cinnamon Shore is readyfor more families to discover its charms. “We’ll see first-time guests and lots of longtime fans,” says Lamkin.“We can’t wait to welcome everyone heres.”

Cinnamon Shore is a New Urbanist community established in 2007. The master-planned community is known for its pedestrian-friendly streets, front porch living, and resort-like amenities. Its expansion, Cinnamon Shore South, is in the early phase of development nearby on the Gulf side of Mustang Island.

Cinnamon Shore Boosts its Influence with Fast-Moving Expansion at ‘South’

25 Home Sites Sold, Almost a Dozen New Homes Finishing, Resort-Style Amenities Under Way, and Eco-Friendly Dune Crossover Under Construction;

Development’s New Urban Principles Are Transforming the Texas Coast

Port Aransas, Texas, February 11, 2020 - With the village of Cinnamon Shore flourishing, its $1.3 billion expansion, Cinnamon Shore South, is rising quickly and strengthening the influence of this New Urban, master-planned community in Port Aransas. Almost three times larger than the original, 63-acre community established in 2007, the new development is located just 1 mile down the beach and boasts 150-Gulf-front acres.

In just over a year, ‘South’ has sold 25 home sites, with almost a dozen luxury homes finishing this spring. Construction on its new, resort-style pool complex began in January, and the first of four dune crossovers begins soon, with an eco-friendly, top-down construction method that will preserve the dune system. “Cinnamon Shore South gives Texans a new alternative for an upscale beach vacation right here in Texas,” says developer Jeff Lamkin of Sea Oats Group. “With great amenities, great architecture, and a great overall design plan, our expansion offers more of what people love about the Cinnamon Shore lifestyle. And we have great real estate opportunities available.”

Cinnamon Shore South follows the New Urban design principles that made the original community popular. Its plan calls for a pedestrian-friendly aesthetic with charming, luxury vacation homes set along walkable, landscaped streets, paver sidewalks, parks and green spaces, plus a Town Center with retail and restaurants. The new community centers around a 7-acre lake and offers home sites that overlook the beach, the lake, parks, and pleasing streetscapes. With only two Gulf-front lots remaining from the initial release at South, the developer recently released a second group of home sites in prime locations, including six along the Gulf. They’re selling swiftly, with only three remaining.

“With so much Gulf-front land marked for preservation along North and South Padre Islands, premium beachfront lots are hard to come by,” says Lamkin. “But at Cinnamon Shore South, buyers have their choice of Gulf-front lots behind protective dunes and front-row views of the shore, along with other prime sites around the community.”

Initially, amenities at South will include:

• A gorgeous, resort pool, with infinity edges on three sides, eight cabanas, plentiful lounge chairs, a lower sunset deck, and an outdoor bar offering light bites. Construction has started, and the pool complex is set to open in May 2021. It will grow to include family and children’s pools, while the bar will expand to a restaurant.
• A 14-foot wide dune crossover, with room for two-way golf cart traffic. Starting this spring, it’s being built with a top-down method, which means no heavy equipment will be involved during construction in order to preserve the integrity of the dune structure and its beauty.
• Newest technology for homeowners and vacation rental guests. That will include a live Beach Cam, along with Internet service that uses fiberoptic, with available speeds of up to 1 Gb/s (1,000 Mb/s)―the best connectivity available.
• A 1-mile, scenic walking and jogging trail. It will wind around the lake from the pool complex to a bridge area, with views of charming streetscapes.
• Manicured and maintained beachfront. At first, one dune crossover, and ultimately four, will provide easy access to Mustang Island’s broad, firm beaches.

In time, Cinnamon Shore South will develop its own, robust Town Center, with retail, restaurants, and a roof-top bar for enjoying sunsets over the Bay. It will complement the nearby Town Center and Market Street area at the original Cinnamon Shore, with easy, reciprocal access between the sister communities for shopping, dining, and play. There also are plans for a small, boutique inn and a spa and fitness center.

Adding to the cache of Cinnamon Shore South, it was selected by the Port Aransas City Council as the location of a landmark, new hotel and conference center. The venture, developed as a partnership between Sea Oats Group and the City of Port Aransas, is currently in the planning phase, but it promises to be a linchpin that will help turn Port Aransas into a year-round coastal destination and boost the area’s economy.

The ‘New Urban’ Difference
“It’s our strict adherence to the principles of New Urbanism that people have responded to at Cinnamon Shore, and that bodes well for the future at Cinnamon Shore South,” says Lamkin. “Our 12-year-old community, at 90% capacity, now looks and feels like its own, thriving beach town, and that’s why we’re confident that South will attract even more beach lovers looking for a family-friendly destination that feels like a real resort experience.”

Designed by New Urbanism proponent and land planner Mark Schnell, who lives on Florida’s Panhandle amid several New Urban communities, Cinnamon Shore has led the way on Mustang Island in establishing a new kind of beach vacation experience in the longtime fishing town of Port Aransas. The first of its kind on the Texas Coast, Cinnamon Shore, and now its expansion at South, appeal to vacationers and vacation homebuyers seeking relaxed style and resort-like amenities. The developer calls on top architects, interior designers, and builders in Texas and across South to ensure a high standard that matches the integrity of the master plan and to achieve the family-friendly, yet sophisticated look that has proven popular.

“We’re so eager for more Texans to discover what we’re doing here,” says Jodi Peters, managing broker at Cinnamon Shore Realty. “It’s truly been a quiet revelation on these shores, as we’ve established a new kind of beach-going experience on the Texas Coast. It’s been a smashing success at Cinnamon Shore, and we’re thrilled to see the response to our plans for South. There’s a lot of momentum that’s carrying us into the next decade. It’s going to be transformative.”
