Lakeside Beach Home, Water Views, Resort-Like Amenities in Cinnamon Shore
Shore Magic is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath lakefront vacation rental home in Cinnamon Shore North, Port Aransas, Texas, where sea-inspired colors, casual elegance, and a coveted position directly on Lake Colby come together to create one of the most picturesque and sought-after Port Aransas beach houses in the community. At 2,000 square feet spread across two floors, this lakefront vacation rental comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests and offers a thoughtful, multi-generational floor plan with the main living area and a first-floor king bedroom conveniently located on the ground level, keeping every age group comfortable throughout the stay.
AMENITIES: Shore Magic is located in Cinnamon Shore North, a master-planned beach community in Port Aransas, Texas. Resort-style amenities include three pools, two scenic lakes, a fishing dock, fire pits, a fitness center, private dune crossovers, lawn games, and a pirate ship playscape. On-site dining options include a Mediterranean bistro, pizzeria, coffee shop, and cafe, while the Town Center hosts events, activities, and live music in peak season and on holiday weekends. Guests also have access to Cinnamon Shore South amenities, located approximately 1.5 miles away, including additional pools, lakes, fitness centers, pickleball and basketball courts, and South Town Square.
MAIN LIVING SPACE: The first floor of this Port Aransas vacation rental is designed for effortless gathering, with an open kitchen and dining area that flows naturally into a comfortable family room offering multiple couches including a spacious sectional, a cozy accent chair, and a flat-screen TV. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a refrigerator, stove, single oven, dishwasher, Keurig coffee maker, ice maker, microwave, and toaster, with a large dining table where the whole group gathers for meals. A first-floor laundry room adds everyday convenience, and the kitchen opens directly to the expansive back porch, where an outdoor dining table, porch swing, gas grill, and outdoor shower make alfresco living an easy daily ritual. The back porch view of Lake Colby is one of the most consistently praised features in guest reviews, and it is easy to see why.
SLEEPING QUARTERS: Shore Magic features a flexible bedroom layout perfectly suited for extended families and multi-generational groups visiting Port Aransas. A first-floor king bedroom with a full hall bathroom offers easy main-level access for grandparents or guests who prefer to avoid the stairs. The second floor is home to the primary king suite, a beautifully appointed retreat featuring a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a private front balcony with wicker seating and views across the community. A queen guest bedroom and a dedicated bunk room, each sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom, complete the second floor, with the bunk room accommodating up to four guests across two sets of twin bunk beds. A sleeper sofa in the first-floor living room provides additional sleeping flexibility for larger groups.
GREAT FEATURES: Shore Magic's lakefront position on Lake Colby is its most defining feature, offering stacked front porches with lake views, an expansive back patio with a swing and dining area right along the water's edge, and easy access to fishing from the lakeside dock — a guest favorite that keeps kids happily entertained for hours. The home is also fitted with a virtual tour for easy pre-booking browsing. Central air and heat, a washer and dryer, WiFi, Smart TV, cable, and outdoor lighting round out the home's amenities. Beach access is 2,000 to 2,300 feet away, and the Stillwater Pool, Town Center restaurants, and community amenities are all just a short stroll or golf cart ride away. Guests also enjoy Cinnamon Shore North's full seasonal programming, including live music, poolside cafes, movies on the green, beach yoga, sandcastle building, surf lessons, and s'mores nights.
Whether you are searching for a lakefront vacation rental in Port Aransas, a multi-generational beach house in Cinnamon Shore North that sleeps 12, or a Texas Gulf Coast home with lake views and easy beach access, Shore Magic delivers on every front. With its unbeatable Lake Colby setting, flexible sleeping layout, and a back porch that guests rave about year after year, this is a Port Aransas vacation home that truly lives up to its name.

Shore Magic was a great location. It was wonderful to wake up and look over Lake Colby. The bedroom layout worked great for our multi-gen family. We have stayed at many CS units. This one does need some updating and paint. It is a bit worn compared to other units. But otherwise everything was great!

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, a B! Sleeping: one King bed (comfy) but the rest of the beds are small. Bunk beds are short (fit young or middle school kids, but not teens) and the two other beds are only Full size (as opposed to Queen) so they don’t comfortably fit a married couple. Coffee making options - A+. Staff is helpful! Still too much construction debris around the house/yard. Found nails, screws, metal chards in the yard even though no ongoing construction on either side of the house. Staff seemed unfazed when I brought this to their attention - as if the construction debris is everywhere. Neighborhood needs a year or two to finish construction. Dylan Restaurant is great - staff is great!

Our rental was fabulous. The map they gave us upon arrival was too small for my eyes but my daughter could see it okay. The pools are lovely and not over crowded. My daughter and grandkids enjoyed movie under the stars. Customer service was very nice and accommodating. I considered purchasing but personnaly I prefer lakes over the ocean. I would highly recommend this property.

We rented this home for a family get together and the layout and location were perfect. We did have a couple of maintenance issues with smoke alarm batteries and then gfci plug issue. Both were taken care of quickly. Our family loved being about to walk or take the golf cart to any amenity.Love cinnamon shores and this home was very nice.

Property is very clean and comfortable. Beds were nice and snuggly. We had infants that cried at night and rooms were almost sound proof with fans blowing. Back porch view is amazing! Kitchen, although very small is extremely well equipped and has great knives too.Honestly, we had the best time! The location of this house is the best! Near the Dylan's pizza, the small pool and the circle. It was great for us and we would rent this property again. Only issues were with AC (they fixed) and outside grill (we fixed).

We had a good time but the house had a few issues. Overall, the house had enough space for 7 people but the downstairs room and the upstairs queen bedroom had poor air circulation compared to the rest of the home (complaints of the rooms being too hot). We also noticed major mold issues in the vents on both floors and requested maintenance to check on it as we had members in our group with health concerns (maintenance came and removed it during our stay). Generally wear and tear were noticeable all around the home (floors were dirty etc). However, being by the lake was neat and the proximity to the lawn was nice.

Reviewer Comments:
Great location on a quiet street. We loved the community. The house is well stocked but had one MAJOR safety issue. The doors on the house were so worn that almost NONE of them would catch when you shut the door. This means that everytime you opened a door you had to lock the deadbolt. There is a lake steps away from the back door. I brought doorknob covers to keep my toddler from opening the door but all you had to do was push it open. Locking the deadbolt continually was a huge inconvenience. Maintenance tried for an hour to repair the door, but it is beyond repair. It needs replacing. I would not rent this unit if you have small children.

The vacation went well, Cinnamon Shores does a fantastic job organizing and communicating the area. I would like to note - the door lock on the rear door should be replaced. We didn't really lock the door the entire time we were there because of the difficulty of getting the key in and out. It kept jamming up, also the door was dirty. We also get that we're in Texas, so I expect some bugs, but we had at least 6 roaches in the house we took care of. Small minor stuff, but wanted to let you know. It didn't stop us from having a fantastic time, great place and would definitely do it again.

Our family had the best stay! We often vacation at Cinnamon Shores and this was our favorite location. The house is located on Colby lake and was perfect for our kids. It’s a bit secluded so we felt our kids were very safe riding bikes! The house itself is very comfortable and decorated so cute! We loved having the living and kitchen on the main level. We will for sure be back to stay Shore Magic!!!
This was a great house to stay at! I loved being backed up to the lake.
I put in request to have some light bulbs replaced but never heard from anyone. Overall it was a good experience.
