Neighborhood Overview
FAQ’s 1.Why Shangri’La? Along with the uniqueness of this property, a one of a kind, Shangri’La offers “Old Hawaii” at its best with a Balinese flair. The privacy, the lagoons, the 4 separate pavilions, the waterfall, endless palm trees, and 90 degree volcanically heated ocean water, the friendly fish, with 2 private islands, lend itself to the description we most hear from guests: “It’s Heaven on Earth!” The indoor/ outdoor design makes you feel like you’re on a private island somewhere and completely one with the tropics. It’s a magical place, as we continue to hear over and over again from our guests that it was “The vacation of their lifetimes.” We also hear that the magic of Shangri’La brings families and couples closer, and they often credit Shangri’La for this bonding experience and how they wish they could stay there together forever. 2.Why is this area of Hawaii the only location that has 90-degree ocean water?

Shangri'La is a great getaway from hectic everyday lives and typical busy tourist areas. It took a while for us to get acclimated to the heat and humidity, but we were dealing with it like champs by the last day. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was great for cooking meals. Our favorite part was the master outdoor shower; it was fun to shower under the blue skies or stars, along with geckos and coqui frogs! We struggled a little bit with mosquitoes and gnats, but that's really just a part of being mostly outdoors. The round house was great for relaxing and working (yes, sometimes we had to). I liked sitting on the bridge in the mornings to drink my morning coffee with the fishes. We went on a lava boat tour which was unforgettable and highly recommended if you don't mind rough seas. We also enjoyed soaking in the pools at Ahalanui Beach, a short drive away. Thanks for the great stay!
Jun 27, 2019Shangri-La is an amazing place and hard to compare to other rentals. It is unique and an experience all its own. Steve and Shawn really represent the aloha spirit. Steve has done a great job in selecting a property manager that is above and beyond and it reflects in Steve's character as the owner of this amazing place.
Jun 27, 2019Steve is very nice and easy to communicate. The house is very special and pretty! My family loved!
Jun 27, 2019Shangri La is definitely a unique home but it has its drawbacks and is ideally suited for a certain type and size of family. First the positives. The lagoon is great for kids aged 5-10 who are new to snorkeling and its always fun for them to feed the fish everyday. The landscaped grounds, beds, lines, bathrooms and laundry room are well appointed for this type of rental. The property manager is very helpful as well. Now the negatives. First, the house has a strange layout with too many doors which makes it somewhat annoying to move around. The two primary bedrooms are connected by a short hallway and so I would recommend against anyone hoping for privacy (like two couples). Speaking of rooms, the unique island room is VERY exposed so whoever stays there must be comfortable with that (like a child). The last room (called guest house) is also a ways from the master so families expecting young children to stay there, be careful. As mentioned in some of the other reviews there are bugs here, and lots of them. My kids were ravaged by mosquitoes and the kitchen was overrun by ants if you left even a crumb out. You should also fully understand where the house is on the island relative to your intended primary activities. You are far from the ideal snorkeling and water activities of Kona and the volcano crater is an hour away itself. Lastly, while the owner is very nice and communicative, he suffers from exaggeration. For example, to say there are "thousands" of fish in the lagoon is outrageous. And the local snorkeling is nothing like the Kona side. And the couch shouldnt be considered a bed when its not even a pullout. And don't think there is true "access to the ocean" - you can peak at it from someone's yard basically or walk a few blocks to a path. Overall this is again a unique property and we enjoyed our stay for the most part, but we are adventurous. We had 2 adults and 4 kids. I wouldn't go above 4-5 ideally. Happy to answer any questions objectively if you contact me.
Jun 27, 2019Wonderful magical place. Loved every second of our stay. The lagoon was heaven (made friends with many of the fish!) and we had a lot of adventures around the island.
Jun 27, 2019jiminy coquis! this bnb is quite the lil' breathtaking sanctuary. * you must be up for a bit of adventure and all of nature. it's lush, to say the least. shangri-la and her nearby ponds and tidepools, along with the ol' red road and pahoa eateries, ought to be at the top of all big island bucket lists. truly. p.s.: the host is lovely.
Jun 27, 2019We had an amazing stay and are so'grateful that Steve shared his oasis with us. We loved the tropical paradise and it totally loved up to all our expectations!
Jun 27, 2019Exeptional!! Steve and his help were fantastic!!
Jun 27, 2019This space is beautiful, peaceful and serene. Our family, 8 adults, immensely enjoyed the lagoon, the outdoor shower, and snorkeling at nearby Champagne Lagoon. We are grateful to have celebrated our mom's 70th birthday at Shangri-la.
