The charming, all-white cottage with front porch swing and a scenic backyard at Cinnamon Shore offers a quiet sanctuary to you and your family! Situated on Bent Grass Drive and backing up to Lake Gavin, Lil’ JoE (joe-ee) is located next to a broad swath of undeveloped land with views to the Gulf. It offers near-constant beach breezes, so you can enjoy shady afternoons in its uniquely designed backyard paradise or on the front porch. Inside, relax amid lovely interiors.

AMENITIES:At North, Resort-style amenities include three lavish pools, two scenic lakes, a fishing dock, fire pits, a fitness center, private dune crossovers, lawn games, a pirate ship playscape, and more! Enjoy on-site restaurants such as a Mediterranean bistro and a pizzeria, a coffee shop and café, while the Town Center hosts events, activities, and live music in peak season and on holiday weekends. **Backyard fire pit is NOT available for use**

MAIN LIVING SPACE: The first-floor, primary gathering space features a beautifully designed living room, spacious kitchen with island and bar-height seating at the counter, and a dining area with a table for 8. There’s also a laundry room that offers a large-capacity washer/dryer and a powder room. The living room centers around a 75-inch Smart TV with Bose Sound Bar. Plantation shutters give complete privacy, allowing sunshine in whenever you want.

SLEEPING QUARTERS: The second floor offers two suites with king-size beds. One has a four-poster king and an attached bathroom with walk-in shower, soaking tub, and private balcony. The other offers a king with a wicker headboard, bathroom, and balcony access. A third bedroom has a queen bed and access to a shared bathroom across the hall. On the third floor loft, kids will love the bunk area, featuring two sets of custom, built-in bunks that sleep four. It offers excellent views of the Gulf and homes nestled against Lake Gavin.

GREAT FEATURES: Relax around the lake, as you watch sunsets or wonder at the stars above. Play washers near the lake or hang a hammock between two of the palm trees accenting the backyard. Listen to the sounds of the Gulf drifting from beyond the dunes. You can even go fishing with the kids in the stocked Lake Gavin, just steps from the back door. A gas grill and outdoor dining table allow your group to cook and enjoy a meal outside.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely facility, lovely area on the beach, lovely swimming pools, too! But this was the hottest summer in recorded history, and future summers are likely to be even hotter. It's time to upgrade the shaded areas - the mesh isn't good enough. And please add more shading for more guests.

    Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was expensive for size and amenities. We have stayed at rental homes on the beautiful Caribbean with a pool in the back yard, our own private beach and golf cart included for 1/2 the price and twice the size. Lil’ Joe Cottage was nice and nicely decorated but not worth the price. Lil’ Joe shows a fire pit for evenings but we’re disappointed to find out we were not able to use it, not sure why they picture it in the amenities. Not sure why a rental would not provide basics such dish soap, trash bags, paper towels, etc in this expensive of a rental. Little things make a difference and add convenience to those on vacation. Cinnamon Shores has 3 pools which were very warm basically heated pools. Disappointing when it is 96 degrees and sunny. Pools should be cool and refreshing.

    Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stay Awhile is in a great location in an upscale resort neighborhood with beautiful pools, two stocked lakes and wide clean beaches. The house itself though is very clean but not well maintained. The porch light is hanging sideways, doors stick, mirrors are rusted and the appliances were dated, or not working well. The Frigidaire oven wouldn't get hot enough to bake and the dryer screeched loudly. You'd expect more in this price range. The bedroom arrangement also was not ideal with a bunk room, one room with two double beds and one king bed in the master. We had 3 couples and two adult children. The only views were from an upstairs tower room with one sofa sleeper, a TV and small dining table. While the house backs up to a lake, overgrown bushes obscure the view and there is no lawn area. There is an I-home downstairs but it wasn't compatible with the I-phone 6. Importantly the kitchen is not equipped well. There are NO glasses only plastic cups and there was one or two steak knives. I do appreciate how Cinnamon Shores provides sweeteners, coffee and filters, salt and pepper, foil and detergent pods for renters. Overall would look for a different rental but we enjoyed Cinnamon Shores and will return to the neighborhood.
