Lil' JoE Cottage
This charming, all-white cottage at Cinnamon Shore North offers a serene coastal retreat with picturesque lake views and refreshing Gulf breezes. Nestled along Bent Grass Drive, it features a welcoming front porch swing and a scenic backyard that backs up to Lake Gavin. Thoughtfully designed interiors include a spacious first-floor living area with plantation shutters, a well-appointed kitchen with bar-height seating, and a dining area perfect for family meals. The inviting living room centers around a 75-inch Smart TV with a Bose Sound Bar, creating a cozy space for relaxation after a day at the beach. Upstairs, two elegant king suites each offer private balconies, spa-like bathrooms, and stylish coastal décor, while a third guest room with a queen bed provides additional comfort.

Reviews
We loved our time at Lil Joe Cottage! It is a fantastic house...decorated so cute...well stocked and laid out really well too! We LOVED the backyard...has a wonderful fire pit and lots of space to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a cocktail in the evening...and it's pretty private. Location is really great...just a short walk to one of the pools, to the poolside restaurant/bar, to the pizza joint, to the "nice" restaurant on property and even to the beach access. RIGHT next to the great lawn where our boys played endless hours of spike ball! We LOVE Cinnamon Shores and would choose this house again!
