"Vacation stay
We had a great time. The house was the perfect size. Loved the view from the master suite. It was a short convenient walk to the club house, pools and shore line. "

"Family Vacation Time
This was our first time staying at Cinnamon Beach, or in any large home with my family. Of course we wanted a "perfect" home and I realize this is not always possible. Looking into Cinnamon Beach properties we saw this home, and it was large enough for my family, had a pool, and in what looked like a beautiful Community with Clubhouse, etc. Upon arrival we were pleased to see that most of our expectations were met. The only down side was the fact that the house was not clean and a lot of the items listed in the amenities did not work, beds were not comfortable and furniture run down or broken. Lots of mold and mildew around the pool area. Some of the door locks and deadbolts to the outside were not working and the pool gate very hard to operate. These were things we did not notice too much the first night, but soon enough we realized there were problems. Of course by that time we had 10 people unpacked, and leaving or moving to another home would of really been hard with small children who wanted to go to the Beach and Pools - not to mention precious time wasted and possible availability of other homes this size. The upside of this stay was the amenities at the actual community. The clubhouse, pools, Bistro, etc. were amazing!! We feel that we would love to return to Cinnamon Beach, but would not stay at this particular home again. "

"South of Charleston
Upon arrival any this property there were several issues that were immediately noticed..... the stair handrail was loose and falling off the wall, worn upstairs living room furniture, pet hair on furniture and pillows and clogged shower drains.
We contacted management and they responded to the issues in a timely manner, however as we settled in more issues became evident. One of the reasons we rented the property was for the pool ... the pool light was out and never was repaired during our stay causing or family not to be able to enjoy the dark pool in the evenings, really disappointed. This property was not at all what we expected, we love the area and the community but we will not be staying or recommending this property in the future. "

"Great home! Great service!
This is a great house with a short walk to the beach. Only complaint is no DVD player or SmartTV that would allow streaming. Otherwise would recommend the home to anyone. Scott's service as a property manager was exceptional, over the top. We've rented a lot of properties all over the US, and I've never had someone so helpful and accommodating as Scott. "

"Best Vacation!
What a great house! Our family of 6 was overwhelmed with the beautifully decorated house the perfectly suited our needs. We especially enjoyed the pool area and upper porch where we ate breakfast every day and could see the ocean and feel the breeze to keep us comfortable. The only problem we had was that the a/c unit in the master bedroom was out when we arrived. Property manager, John Sullivan was a dream. He moved two of us to another house until the unit was repaired the next day! Superb service! And he kept checking to be sure everything was fixed. We have had trouble with other managers of at other properties where the whole vacation was marred by the memory of things gone wrong and no solutions. Not so with John! He would be one of the reasons we would rent again! Our only complaint was the master bed was a bit hard. It was a beautiful property and we would highly recommend it !"

"Beautiful Home!
This home is gorgeous, spacious and close to the beach and family pool! We had a group of 8 of us (6 adults and 2 kids) and it worked out perfectly! The pool at the unit was pretty cool but maybe because it was April, guessing it's a bit warmer during summer months. Also, an arcade game in the basement but it doesn't work. The house was stocked with everything you needed beside groceries. I would highly recommend this house in Cinnamon Beach."

"Lots to Like with a Few Issues
This is overall a nice home in a beautiful community. This was our second stay at South of Charleston and one of many visits to Cinnamon Beach. The house has a few issues that could easily be addressed such broken screen doors, dusty ceiling vents, stained mattress, rusty outdoor furniture with dirty cushions, tired living room sofas. The location is great; however, lots of construction around the community with noisy vehicles and right now a porta potty almost in the front yard which won’t last forever. Loved the ocean and lake views from master balcony. Great tv’s, master suite, guest rooms, kitchen and a kids suite. Ocean Hammock gate access is cumbersome and intrusive requiring driver license numbers from your guests to obtain passes that must be shown at each entry. CBVACATIONS was great about getting what we needed for them. Will visit again in the future but not until some attention is paid to the rough edges in this house and construction at least next door is finished and slowing down around the community."

"Incredible Palm Coast Escape
A beautiful, spacious, well decorated home tucked inside private community gates down on the palm coast. We had to evacuate from the hurricane and found solace in this lovely home. Perfect location to lovely amenities such as the 2 connunity pools and steps to the ocean. With the private pool on property you don’t have to go anywhere. Such a great spot for a group of 10 or less."

"wonderful beach vacation
We really enjoyed our stay. The grandchildren especially enjoyed the pool and the game machine. "

"Totally wonderful family get together
I can not begin to tell how great the experience at South of Charleston was. First of all the property manager could not have been more helpful and kind. I have never experienced such service at a rental before.
The house was totally accurate about the location etc. The house was totally clean and well maintained. We didn't lack for anything.
All of us loved the pool and used it so much, yet there are two big pools just a block away as is the beach The location couldn't be better. It was close to everything but totally quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the balconies in the late afternoons. There were beach toys in the garage to use. We all drove towards St Augustine to the alligator farm which I highly recommend. It was very informative and interesting, not hokey as you might think.
Publix is just a stone's throw by car as is AlA fish market. We hope we will be able to return soon. "

"A Week at the Seashore
Had a fine vacation in a well-maintained property. Excellent experience with the rental management company--very responsive and very prompt to take care of some minor problems. Liked the house, and would note only a couple of minor reservations: (1) need many more towel racks/hooks in every bathroom; (2) takes a surprisingly long time to get hot water to any of the kitchen and bath outlets. Wasted a lost of water waiting."

"Almost Heaven
This rental house is very nice. We stayed a week with our three adult children and two grandsons. The home is in a very good and quiet location. Everything was furnished for a wonderful vacation. The only thing I could suggest would be a comfortable chair or couch in the master bedroom. Other than that, it was perfect."

"A week by the beach
The house was ideal for our family of five, with all three kids being 18+. Pool, beach, cable TV, Wi-Fi and air-con - what else could be needed? The house is relatively new and very well furnished.
A 30 minute drive to either St Augustine or Daytona.

"Palm Coast Family Reunion 2016
We really enjoyed our stay at South of Charleston. The home is beautiful and very tastefully decorated. We stayed for one week in July for a family get-together. The lower level had a nice game room, a bunk room for the kids, and a beautiful back patio with a screened in pool, hammock, and nice table and chairs. The middle level had two bedrooms, a beautiful living room area, a huge dining room table where we had our family meals, a very nice kitchen, and a lovely outdoor area with comfortable seating and a table with seating for six. The third level had an amazing master suite with a king bed, huge bathroom, and a beautiful balcony with an ocean view. There was an elevator to take you to the different levels. The only concerns were that the pool pump and dishwasher were not working consistently and we could have used more plastic storage containers and serving bowls in the kitchen. Overall, our stay was awesome! We had a short walk to the beach as well as the community pools. We enjoyed bike rides around the beautifully maintained neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again!"

"Nice Vacation Home And Great Location
The home was very nice and in the perfect location.
The beach was a five minute walk and the community pool was about a three minute walk. The floor plan was nice and with 4700 sq ft. there was plenty of room in the home.
The only problem was with the homeowner as for some reason there was a lot of trash they took out and left in the driveway in two trash cans. This was apparently done after the normal Thursday trash pickup. Not sure why there was so much trash since no one stayed in the home the previous week.
Called the property managers and they came right away and cleaned up the mess which was in the driveway near the garage and was smelling pretty bad too.
The other problem was that the home owner apparently sold the home during the week and had the wifi mistakenly turned off on Wednesday during the week and blamed it on the internet provider saying it was supposed to be Saturday at the end of the week.
Called the property managers and they called the owner and got the wifi turned back on until the end of the week.
The rental company was excellent and so were the property managers Chris and John but the homeowner was a different story which is hard for the property mangers to completely cover for.
Would give the rental company and property managers five out of five but the homeowner probably a three.
Would stay here in the future and definitely recommend to friends and glad there will be a new owner in the future.
Thanks!

"Great location, but many cleanliness issues, and lack of response
We were very pleased with the location of the property in relation to the ocean as well as the property pools. Our issues were all about the condition of the home upon arrival. It appeared as though the home hadn't been cleaned for a while, and many things were missed. The comforters on the bed didn't appear to be clean (one had dried blood on it) and there were no other blankets provided to use. We had to clean the bathrooms ourselves in order to get rid of the prior renters' "hairs", dried toothpaste and urine on the toilet seat. The shower curtain in the main floor bathroom was beyond disgusting. The patio areas and pool area were dirty and full of cobwebs so we had to wipe everything down ourselves. Also all the pool equipment and toys were dirty and full of mildew. I contacted Chris Gallo, the property manager, right away, and he told me he'd get a housekeeper over. That was our first day there. We waited each day for the housekeeper to arrive, and no one ever did. Not once....for 5 days. We were extremely disappointed in the management's lack of follow-through or concern for our satisfaction with our stay. The house was nice, but would've been great....if it was cleaned. It was especially disappointing considering how much is charged for cleaning services. Aside from that, we loved the area and had a wonderful time at the community pool. The staff at the pool/grille was great and the security at the gate was personable as well. I wouldn't recommend the place if you have small children, as the master bedroom is on a different floor from the rest of the bedrooms. The view from the 3rd floor balcony is beautiful. The pool is fairly small and was quite chilly. We used it very briefly and spent the rest of our time at the community pool. The area is conveniently close to Daytona and St Augustine and it was handy to have a Publix so close as well."

"Fantastic time at the 'South of Charleston' home
Absolutely loved this home in Cinnamon Beach. Family reunion for 9 adults with plenty of room. Huge kitchen which was perfect since we cooked in for our stay. John, the property manager, was quick to respond to one small problem. Pool and game room was a bonus. The home is very close to the community pool, restaurant, bar and beach access. We would stay at this home again."

"Beautiful place with very correctable minor maintenance issues
It is a very beautiful place as described for our three generations of famil members. We love it and we might come back next year. We like the beach, the club and the nearby shopping center. Everyone has fun.
The minor issues are linens are quite worn out,some need to be retired. The mattress in second floor bedroom is not firm enough. It has no soft padded mattress cover, but a plastic one without padding which is very torn. Furthermoe, thE cleaning crew used a flat sheet instead of a fitted sheet so it was slipping off the slippery plastic sheet and we had to change it orselves. The entire room is quite substandard like a third rate motel.
Very important, please install grab bars and provide rubber bathtub mat for safety. When someone falls, the consequence is serious. This is very easy correction. "

"Great House
We had a wonderful experience staying in this home. Everything we needed was accounted for. There was plenty of space for our 4 kids and the grandparents as well. We had no issues with this home and would stay there again. "

"Family vacation
House was very nice, location to the beach was great, house had not been used for awhile so was not really ready for us to arrive, no ac on , refrigerator not working "

"Great Vacation House
Great place. We had 6 adults and 5 children ranging from 3 yrs to 16 yrs, everyone loved the house and location. We have been to Ocean Hammock previously so knew what to expect as far as amenities. Having our own pool at the house was a big plus for the kids. Elevator was a big plus for me since house is 3 stories and I have a bad knee. Also very handy for getting luggage and groceries upstairs. Will definitely book this house in the future. Crystal Belleview at the management company was very helpful and responsive to the few small issues we had."

"July 2015
This house is in a great location. Very nice community and great proximity to the beach access and community pool. The house is beautiful with great views! However, the home was not thoroughly cleaned before our stay. The main living area and dining area were nicely furnished but the bedroom furniture and all mattresses left a lot to be desired. A little maintenance and a few minor upgrades/additions and this house would be absolutely perfect!"

"Lockhart/Miller wedding week
Our family had an amazing week. The home and community was a perfect location for our family to celebrate this special occasion. South of Charleston is a beautiful home, the beach is breathtaking and the pools perfect for all ages. Thank you Steve for sharing this lovely home with my family."

"Loved Our Time at Cinnamon Beach!
The South of Charleston was a great house for our large family. My kids and grandkids had an awesome time. Great game/family room on lower level for kids. Nice pool. Very clean. Only thing I would have added is maybe more utensils for the kitchen and there were no trash cans other than the kitchen and one of the bathrooms. Also, not sure of the size of the 2 beds on 2nd floor. Didn’t seem large enough for queens. Other than that we loved it. Great location also!!!"

"Lovely South of Charleston
This is the 3rd year in a row that we have rented from (Property Management). Each year we have been blown away by the outstanding properties and accomodations. South of Charleston was no different. Excellent property with beautiful kitchen and ample room for many guest. You will not be dissapointed if you choose this location. Highly recommended!"

No complaints about anything. Everything was there that we needed and everything was in good shape. Could have unused a few more towels but we managed. And it's Verona not Verond. "

"Perfect says it all!
The pictures do not come close to have fab this house is! We had 3 families with a total of 5 kids and it was great that the kids had their own level with fun things to do. The arcade was a big hit! Can't wait to plan my nextt trip to Cinnamon Beach. "

"South of Charleston Review
House was very nice, but missing several essentials. Namely, a working icemaker, can opener, wash cloths, and grilling tools. The management company did not bring the requested grilling tools. Also, although the website advertizes this as a "no pets" rental. It was clear that the owners have a dog (or dogs). There was pet hair on many of the couch cushions. Our son is allergic to dogs. We needed to know that the house was not truly pet free."

"A perfect home away from home
Our Christmas week vacation was perfect at the South of Charleston. We were 4 children and 4 adults that enjoyed the serenity and accommodations, there was even a Christmas tree that added to the holiday spirit. The house is decorated lovely with a seaside theme, the children had their own space and the decks provide beautiful views. Within a short walk you're on peaceful cinnamon colored sandy dog friendly beach. We all look forward to returning for another awesome vacation."

"Feedback
The home was obviously very new, very neat and very clean. There were a couple of items that kept it from perfect. The water pressure on the third floor (master bath) was terrible. Second, the home sleeps 12, seats 10 at the table yet there was only ONE pot in the cabinet that could be used to cook a large meal. Making spaghetti sauce and boiling pasta was truly funny! Thanks so much for hosting us. "

"Spectacular Home & Ideal Location
The pictures do not do this house justice! It is very upscale yet comfortable. The 1st floor is perfect for kids/teens with a rec room, table/chairs, bar fridge, TV/DVD, arcade game, games, full bathroom & bedroom with 4 beds (2 bunks). The 2nd floor hosts a chefs dream kitchen with all stainless steel appliances including a double oven. There are also 2 bedrooms (queens), 2 bathrooms and laundry facilities. The 3rd floor is the master retreat that is absolutely gorgeous! The balcony overlooks the lake where wildlife sightings were plentiful including daily visits from sea otters! There is also a spacious balcony on the 2nd floor ideal for relaxing with a book or for morning coffee. Top top it off this house has an elevator that was fantastic to take luggage, groceries etc. to each floor. Nothing has been overlooked. You could not ask for a better location. It is literally a 2 minute walk to the beach/ocean as well as the clubhouse. There are 2 access points for the beach but you access the beach via the clubhouse, longers, chairs and umbrellas are provided free of charge. The beach is very secluded. It is like having your own private beach. It has sand bars and is clear with tons of shells. A gated community with securtity, loads of bike trails, golfing etc. The property management were a delight to deal with and check-in was a breeze! We have rented many homes throughout Florida and this is by far the best house/location! We look forward to returning. "
