Beautiful getaway spot

This boat was so nice and had everything we needed. We were so comfortable and our dog enjoyed it too! We enjoyed the view from the top deck, and watched dolphins feeding in the morning. Parking was only a minor inconvenience,

Vacation 40 minutes from home

We had a wonderful stay at the Shangri-La. One easy night of beach going, dining and a rocket launch. Perfect little getaway in a well-appointed and unique setting. Houseboat is in slip closest to restaurant - almost as close as a dining room!! Bed was comfy and cabin was very clean. We will return!

Excellent unique getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! What a unique experience. We loved being right next to the Dolphins restaurant as well. It was equipped with everything needed and had an adorable modern flair. The directions and detailed explanation given prior to our arrival was well articulated and made the experience excellent.

It was a great place to stay and relax.

It was a special place to stay. Very convent to all the activities we wanted to do. Great restaurant and bar just a short walk away. Private place on the water just to hang out on our private dock. Definitely a different experience then any hotel we have ever stayed in. Thank you very much for the cleanliness of interior and outside. The grill and the private space were a bonus.

This houseboat was fantastic. Waking up to dolphins and birds swimming outside was better than I imagined. A restaurant next to you is gorgeous. The food was phenomenal. The staff was friendly and it felt very safe. You are next to a barge bridge that lifts so there is traffic noises and boats are passing through. Its not exactly quiet. Accommodations inside the boat are very comfortable for two adults and nicely decorated. Would love to come back!!

What a great place to stay. I thoroughly enjoyed it here. The boat was spotless and clean. The bed was firm but comfortable. Sitting out on the deck and reading a book and getting some sun was the highlight of my trip. Lots of fun wildlife to watch. I felt like I got a dolphin parade both mornings. The restaurant next door was great. The service was great and the food was even better. My first night there was a live musician playing at the bar at the atmosphere was really fun and lively. Even better, it was only a few steps from the door to the boat. If you're looking for a place to get away and just chill, this is it! I highly recommend
