This is our second year in Cinnamon Beach, though we stayed in a different place last year. The location is stunning and the view is spectacular. Nothing like leaving the door open and hear the waves crash. This pace was on the fifth floor with a direct view toward the ocean. It was quiet other than the footsteps of those in the space above(a problem last year as well). Those above us seemed to have kids that would run and jump now and then which was rather distracting at times. One would think that this would have been considered in a place like this. The tile floors, great for rentals and cleanliness, make it worse. It should be noted that although it bothered us, it did not keep us from coming back though it would be a different story if we were looking to buy.The place was well furnished overall and tastefully so. The living room furniture and beds were comfortable, important to us when paying this much. The only exception here was that one bedroom had no box spring, only the mattress. I have never seen this before and it was uncomfortable for our oldest son that had to sleep there. When we noted this a few days into our week, we were told it would be looked into, but nothing on this account changed.The two other small things were only one of five overhead lights working in the kitchen. This was not a big problem as the open design with light elsewhere helped a lot. Still it would have been nice to have had more light. Secondly, the hanging light above the dining table had a lot of excess wire sticking out that looked bad, not a hazard, but certainly not appealing.Not withstanding the above, all minor other than the bed issue, we would stay here again in a heart beat.

Excellent condo in an excellent location. Very spacious, airy, comfortable and clean. Never saw any moths (or other critters) as mentioned in earlier review. Furnishings, appliances, etc. look relatively new. Beach is just steps away and is very private. Although the condo buildings look large in the photos, it's actually a very small community. We never saw more than a few families in our beach location at a time. Be sure and bring chairs and a tent or umbrella -- these aren't provided and there is no chair service. If flying in, you can easily pick up some cheap ones at the nearby Walmart or Publix. The heated pools were great -- there's a "quiet" pool with a view of the ocean (kids allowed, but no crazy stuff) and the kids pool area which has a nice sized beach-entry pool, as well as a big splash area + tiny tots pool, which is gated in its own area. Kids 12 and under will love the splash area and slide; tweens and teens will love the kid pool and air conditioned hangout rooms. Both pools have hot tubs which are actually hot! There is onsite food and drink service. The location of the condos is close to plenty of restaurants and groceries. There are bike and boat rentals nearby. We loved our stay and didn't want to leave! Only a couple of minor complaints -- shower heads/water pressure isn't great (but the monster tub is awesome!) and the air conditioning unit is loud (but you get used to it after the first day). I miss waking up to the view of the ocean and the dolphins!

Beautiful view, but...

Palm Coast is a beautiful area, very exclusive feeling. It is a good location for visiting beaches/cities to the north and south along the coast, and for that I would recommend it. But that we HAD to go elsewhere to find a place to eat out wasn't much fun. We never could catch the Cinnamon Beach Grill open, and no one ever answered the phone. The mixture of houses and condo buildings wasn't very comfortable, and made us feel a bit like we were intruders. This particular unit was nice enough, but there were little things that we noticed that made it seem not quite as nice as we had expected. The furniture was all beautiful, and the king size bed was very comfortable (not so much the other beds). But the decor seemed as if someone had gone into a furniture store (Lane Furniture, we know, because the tags were still on a few items) and said "Give me everything beach themed." Whether it was Florida beach or the Maine coast didn't matter, it was all in there. A very odd thing was that in places where two pictures/art pieces were hanging side by side (over the sofa, over the king size bed, in the hallway) it wasn't two different items, but the same exact thing. Thankfully we had planned a trip to the grocery store anyways, because the toilet paper that was on the holders was all there was in the whole place, for our several day stay. It would have been nice to have hooks near the showers to hang towels on. As it was, there were not enough places to hang enough towels for the number of people the condo sleeps (8), not even for just 3 of us.Access to the beach was easy and nearby. Make sure to bring your own beach chairs and umbrella, because there are no rentals anywhere.The balcony was our favorite part of this unit, with it's nice big table and beautiful view.
