 In fact, during March 2021, vacation rental guests booked 1,351 properties, an impressive 414% increase over March 2020. By the end of April, total year-over-year bookings at Cinnamon Shore for 2021 were already up 320%, pacing at three times the revenue of 2020. 

“Once people discover Cinnamon Shore, so many want to come back,” says Jeff Lamkin, developer. “We see it time and time again, as families make our community part of their beach traditions.” Testimonials from Cinnamon Shore photo contests show how eager guests are to return: 

[Cinnamon Shore] is like a little town of its own … like your home the minute you get there … will definitely be back soon.”

-Christina H. 

“Hopefully bringing the whole family next time”

--Lori Z. 

“My little boy had the best time at the beach and the pool. We loved the family environment at Cinnamon Shore and will definitely  be back…”

--Kacie S. 

Introducing New Urbanism to Texas beachgoers at its inception, Cinnamon Shore combines top-tier architecture, building technology, and interior design with a family-friendly vibe and resort amenities. New Urban living promises a return to a classic neighborhood layout, with walkable streets, front-porch charm and shared public spaces―where everything a resident could want is close at hand. 

On the coast, the No. 1 draw, is, of course, the beach, and Cinnamon Shore maintains a manicured beachfront that is accessible via graceful dune crossovers. All the other amenities, including three resort pools, on-site restaurants, a coffee shop, market, fitness center and dog park, are also within an easy stroll. Families socialize on the Town Center green, where a concert series jazzes up weekends and outdoor movie nights delight the kids. On the Great Lawn, kids play games and make s’mores around a fire pit. With scenic vistas at every turn, the community attracts families looking for an upscale beach destination with character and style—a place that understands the heart of beach lovers. 

This original community―now known as Cinnamon Shore North―has fulfilled its original promise of a traditional seaside village. Now, the Cinnamon Shore lifestyle extends to a quickly rising expansion called Cinnamon Shore South, just about 1.5 miles away. “There’s such a demand for the type of beachfront community we’re creating,” Lamkin says. “And we’re gearing up to offer a full slate of events for summer’s high season.” 

From May 1 through Labor Day, a weekly roster of events provides countless options for family-friendly fun, including:

Sandcastle Building Lessons

Trivia Night at Dylan’s Coal Oven Pizzeria

S’mores on the Great Lawn

Yoga on the Beach

Swim Fitness

Surf Lessons

Paint & Sip (arts night)

Pilates

Paddle Board Yoga

DJ at Kiera’s Pool

Weatherby Consulting Celebrates Its Fifth Year as Preeminent Provider of Vacation Rental Consulting Services

In the $100 billion vacation rental industry, Florida-based Weatherby Consulting holds a unique position as the preeminent provider of consulting services in the industry.

Miramar Beach, FL, May 19, 2018 — In the $100 billion vacation rental industry, Florida-based Weatherby Consulting holds a unique position as the preeminent provider of consulting services in the industry.

Weatherby Consulting, with more than 100 buy-and-sell transactions and more than $200 million in sales of vacation rental companies in its first five years, is a rarity in the market, a company that not only provides buy-and-sell services, but vacation rental consulting, expert-level accounting services, and even partnership opportunities, where they partner with vacation rental companies to manage and increase the value of the business.

“We’re really blessed to work with the industry’s best management companies,” admits Weatherby Consulting founder and CEO Ben Edwards. “There isn’t a vacation rental management company out there we couldn’t help in a meaningful fashion. It boils down to experience and we’ve operated in hundreds of resort destinations, from Key West to Whistler, Maui to Maine, Costa Rica to Cabo. You name a market and we have worked with someone there.”

Weatherby, which celebrates its fifth anniversary this year, has more than 19 years of direct industry experience purchasing and selling vacation rental management companies, managing operations, finance and accounting, Weatherby Consulting can provide rapid, strategic advice to assist their clients.

A respected, innovative and experienced leader in the vacation rental industry, Edwards has worked with a number of companies and associations, including as President of Vacation Rental Management Association; President of Sanctuary Vacation Rentals, Inc.; Vice President of Royal Shell Vacations; Advisory Board Committee member of HomeAway; President of Waterstone Resorts and Vacation Homes; Board of Directors, Florida Vacation Rental Managers Association; General Manager of ResortQuest SW Florida; and member of the Board of Directors of VRMA.

The vacation rental industry is a growing and increasingly competitive market with a multitude of players at many levels. Not all are scrupulous or on the client’s side, something Edwards hopes to counter with Weatherby’s mission as an industry leader.

“There are a lot of vultures out there now, so we want each transaction to follow an organized process in line with market rate terms, we ensure the transaction is fair and reasonable for both parties,” says Edwards. “We’ve made meaningful changes in the lives of many companies. We’re really proud of our work.”

In 2015 Greg Herr joined Edwards bringing additional resources to the Weatherby team. Herr has over 25 years of vacation rental specific operations, marketing, management and financial expertise. “Although Ben and I have worked together in different capacities for over 18 years the opportunity to join Weatherby Consulting was simply too good to pass up. It has been an exciting and busy three years and the work we do pulls from every bit of my vacation rental experience, but I absolutely love working with our clients to help improve their businesses.”

In addition to consulting Mr. Herr assists Edwards in providing transaction advisory services. “It is very rewarding to help a business successfully execute a sale. Often times the seller of a vacation rental business has poured a significant portion of their career into the creation and growth of the business. Helping them get maximum value for the business is incredibly important and rewarding.” Says Herr.

Leading Weatherby’s Accounting Services Division is vacation rental accountancy expert Stacey Herr. With Stacey’s over 25 years of vacation rental accounting experience, Edwards, and team, have been able to shore up an area of consulting that many vacation rental companies overlook, the accountancy of owning and managing a vacation rental business.

“We’ve ramped up the accounting side of our business in the last 16-24 months,” says Stacey Herr, of Weatherby. “Weatherby, accounting service dovetail into the profitability consulting we provide. In numerous cases, we were trying to provide consultative advice based upon bad information and so the accounting service division was born. Currently, we provide routine accounting services and prepare actionable financial statements for a number of clients in many markets.”

The monthly financial package prepared for their accounting clients is a fundamental component to understanding a company’s key drivers of profitability. It also provides actionable data allowing companies to increase profits, reduce operational expenses, implement new technologies and target new sources of revenue.

Weatherby now provides comprehensive consulting and transaction advisor services, plus accounting services to more than 30 companies across the U.S. and internationally.
