PLEASE CONTACT OWNER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HOUSE.
OWNER PREFERS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ALL GUESTS 'BEFORE' GUESTS MAKE A RESERVATION TO BE SURE TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AND TO MAKE SURE THIS HOUSE IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN ORDER TO MEET ALL YOUR EXPECTATIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! :-)

• LARGEST PRIVATE POOL on EMERALD ISLE!!!
Pool measures 44' long x 16' wide. The Pool design has wide, shallow steps/entrance-way at both ends which makes it great forchildren and the elderly. It is 4 feet deep. It also has a floating rope that divides the pool down the middle so that you have your own side for privacy. Our Concrete Deck (surrounding the pool) is cool on the feet (unlike TREX Decking that other houses use which is too hot to walk on in bare feet in the summertime).

• NO CHARGE for 'HOST FEE': Unlike the majority of Homeowners, we do NOT charge this ($150 to $450) fee! (Not to be confused with VRBO Fee)

• NO CHARGE for POOL HEATING: in May/June and Sept/Oct when heat is needed (Saves you over $550…because MOST houses in Emerald Isle charge $550 to $600 ‘additional’ for Pool Heating!!! We don’t!!!)
(Pool Heater operable only when the air temperature is above 60 degrees...so the month of April is very iffy if the pool will be warm enough for swimming. That is why our ‘APRIL’ RATES are comparable to homes 'without' a pool). Pool heating is not at all necessary for the months of July/Aug.

    Super amazing place. Very nice and spacious. Pool is amazing and the kids love it so much. You can stay out at night swimming and not worry about the water being cold and dark. Super clean and absolutely no sign of roaches like all the others houses do.

    We picked the place for the pool and location on the beach. We have stayed here 2x a year for the past 3+ years. Convenient to everything. Haven't had a bad meal anywhere on EI. Fishing wasn't much, but hubby survived. Looking forward to more visits here.

    We had a great week sharing the beach experience with old friends. The pool was a great bonus on top of the beautiful beachfront. The house is as described and the owner communicates readily. Some of the beds could stand to be updated.

    This is the third year in a row that we’ve rented Shangri-La for our annual friends reunion on Emerald Isle. Don is an excellent host and his property is perfect for our group. We’re all seniors, and the pool is wonderful because the ocean can be a bit rough for our aging bodies. The pool is also heated which really makes a difference. The house is well outfitted and clean and everything works. We look forward to going back next year for the fourth year in a row.

    The house works perfectly for a family vacation at the ocean. A nice deck, a pool in your backyard and the ocean only steps away.

    This is the 3rd year in a row my family and friends stayed at the shangri-La and we are already looking to book for next year. The pool is huge and comes in extremely handy when you are done at the beach. You can’t beat the location, it’s right on the beach. You are literally overlooking the ocean while sitting on the deck. The house is more charming than updated, but it is very clean and comfortable. Don is always available and easy to deal with. We will continue to return for as long as Don will have us.

    Spotless house and perfect location on the island. We spent half the time in pool and other in big pool -- ocean. Comfortable furniture and beds. Lots of outside furniture. Pool so clean. Kitchen small but had everything we needed. Near some great restaurants, Dairy Queen, movies, donut shop. Couldn't have asked for more, except another week. Thank you, Don, owner.
