Awesome for our family reunion!

This property was perfect for our reunion. Family members of all ages enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner in the Tiki Hut! There were plenty of activities available on site; we never heard anyone say they were bored! We loved the pool, the game room, board games, kayaking and just relaxing. The owners were very helpful and responsive. Thank you, Don.

Another fantastic stay at Shangri-La!

This is our third stay here, and another amazing experience. Colton is a great host, always available to take care of anything we needed. Our party included 11 people staying on property, and another 20 visiting from the area. Plenty of room for everyone, plus several amenities like the pool, game room, kayaks, and a wonderful sitting area by the water. Plenty of parking and a scenic area for relaxing. Highly recommended!

This house had it all. We had a hand full of 13 yr old boys and not once did any of them get bored. The fishing was great! The game room was awesome and the pool was amazing. Don was great to work. He was available during our whole stay to answer any questions. Definitely recommend this home.

Beautiful property and something for everyone

What a wonderful time everyone had. We arrived a couple days in advance for a wedding, on site, and no one wanted leave. The littles were able to swim, middles kayak, and adults prep and then relax. Plenty of room to spread out for various activities. Kitchen was well stocked for us to enjoy cooking on site as well. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

Sanctuary!

Step into a world of wonder and thrill at this extraordinary venue, a true paradise for our spirited boy's soccer team. Within these walls, remarkable experiences and indelible moments were crafted, leaving an everlasting mark on their hearts. It's no wonder that we have already made up our minds - this sanctuary will undoubtedly be our chosen haven once again, eagerly awaiting next year's highly anticipated tournament.

Fantastic property for our extended family gathering

Very well appointed estate with plenty of room for our family gathering. We found everything we needed for our family of 16. The highlights include the excellent pool and hot tub with waterfall, the manatees that hung out by the dock, kayaks and paddleboards, one incredible massage chair, the game and theater room. Martin was readily available when we reached out with questions but allowed us to enjoy the property without intruding during our stay, perfect! Very peaceful location, plenty of parking, lots of space, plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained....easy property to recommend. We loved our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again should the opportunity arise.

Totally unique property!

My extended family and I stayed at this property for a funeral (16 of us). We were so fortunate to find such an amazing place at this location. I have stayed at many, many short term rentals but this one really stands out, there is so much to do for a large group both day and night that we never left the property. A nearby contact can really come in handy...especially when you accidentally set of the smoke alarm. lol! We are considering having a reunion each year here since everybody came from far away (SoFlo, Jax, Texas and North Carolina).

Best wedding home ever

Coltin and his beautiful home made our wedding dreams come true. Everything you need is on property and Coltin is incredible when it comes to communication and accessibility. I even paddled on the River right after my ceremony got some bad ass bride pics 😎 every friend and family member fell in love with this beautiful location. We will definitely be back. I really can’t say enough good things about it. If you are reading this…book it now!!! Literally!! It is worth way more than you can imagine💜

Absolutely beautiful

I rented Shangri-la for a weekend stay during which I hosted my wedding. I could not have dreamed for a better location. We had 8 adults and 5 kids stay on the property and 60ish guests for the wedding night. It was literally the exact vision I had for my wedding come true. Guests raved about have beautiful and magical everything was. We had a few hiccups but Coltin and Don were very responsive, professional, and went above and beyond to fix the situation. You can tell they truly care about your experience and the home overall. I would 1000% book again and will reccomend it in the future.

Shangri la family vacation

We stayed at shangri la for our annual summer family vacation. 14 total age 3 months to 70 years old. We had an outstanding time! The pool is spectacular! You can control the waterfalls, temp, Lights and hot tub jets with an app. We keep the hot tub a moderate temp and the little kids were able to enjoy it like a kiddie pool. The sunsets off the dock were amazing every night and there was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. The common areas in the living room and dining room worked out perfectly for our group. Plenty of shopping and sing choices to order in or drive to within 20 minutes or so. Also numerous golf courses within 15 minute drive. Coltin was a gracious host and responded promptly to any questions. We were unable to take advantage of the kayaks or paddle boards because there was so much else to do. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a large home with plenty of amenities.

Paradise in Florida!

Where do I begin? From moment of booking, Coltin was very attentive and communicative. I believe he went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. I appreciated most. There are no pictures that you will see that come close to how GORGEOUS this property really is!!!! From inside out, it was breathtaking. The views and sunsets by the dock: AMAZING! The game house: so gorgeous and enjoyable that my son almost missed our event because there was so much to do and play in the game house. Each room had a different theme and story. It’s equipped with the things that’s needed yet you don’t thinks to travel with (garment steamers, spices for food, tons of board games, junk drawer with safety pin scissors, etc) Our guests LOVED that! ALL IN ALL, the Shangri-La is the most gorgeous and accommodating resort for any family/ friends getaway. Host was 100% the most attentive I have ever interacted with as a guest. Thank you again Coltin! A+++++ Host!
