Kona's Shangri La: Private Oceanfront Home w/ Pool, Spa & Elevator

What a fabulous place to spend our vacation! It couldn't have been nicer - thank you

The house is too quirky to recommend to anyone else, especially a family. Juggling keys between different families, using the elevator between floors and dealing with the street noise was a hassle we didn't need. For the quality, this property seems well overpriced, even by Kona standards. The property needs several repairs, but we dealt with the inconveniences for a week. It needs a privacy gate since it's located right on a busy road which made it all too easy for a homeless woman to decide she wanted to sleep under the carport one night.

The house was awesome for our family of 11. Plenty of room, awesome views and the sound of the ocean were a hit. Property management was very responsive to our needs.

The property was as described. Had a blast with our family of nine. The picture windows provided a phenomenal view, kitchens were well stocked with everything we needed. Pool was a lot deeper than expected. It had a quick drop off for our 6 and 7yr old. But with a life jacket they were fine. The only thing i would change, was the landscaping crew showed up on the second day with no warning triming trees and bushes, they were kind, but it felt like an invasion of privacy. They only came that one day and we didnt see them again. That was also our scheduled stay at the house day. So while jumpi g in the pool, adults in the hot tub masked men start triming. We just took breakfast inside until they left.

Great home base for triathlon training trip

This is the perfect house for a large family vacation. The 2 full size kitchens made cooking so easy. It also allowed adequate refrigeration for all the groceries necessary to feed a family of 12. The rooms were so comfortable and the 5 bathrooms meant no one had to wait very long. This house had it all! Plenty of towels, beach gear, etc. The outdoor area had incredible views and the pool/jacuzzi were such an added bonus! Everything was flawless! Thanks again for allowing our family to stay in such a fantastic place!

Awesome spot for our family Cousin Camp. Beautiful scenery and wonderful pool.

This was an ideal property for a large group. While each floor was self contained, we always gathered together either outside or on the second or third floor every morning and evening. Although the property was right on Ali’i Drive the night time road noises were practically nonexistent. In fact if you are a fan of falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the surf, this property is for you. The small market across the street was a huge bonus.

This was a true island experience. The three levels of the house allowed everyone to have their own space and a really great shared space on the second floor. The elevator and stairs made all floors easily accessible to everyone. The views were outstanding.

Killer view with all the amenities!!!

We had a blast!! The facility was perfect for our needs.

My wife’s dream was to treat her parents to a Hawaii vacation. We decided to make it happen and invited my parents and my brother’s family too. The location is unbeatable being 1.5 hours from Hilo, 2 hours from Volcano National Park and mins from the Kona waterfront. The house is a bit dated but has everything you really need including an elevator! Kitchen saw very little use but came fully stocked with cups, mugs, dishes, utensils, pots, pans, etc. There were two washers and dryers on the property. The pool and hot tub were nice though went mostly untouched. We didn’t spend much time at home because of all the amazing outdoor activities of the Big Island. There were even beach and ocean equipment available to use onsite. The staff/management team were tremendous and very responsive. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. Codes and instructions were all emailed and texted clearly. There were periodic spot checks by the team throughout the week that were not intrusive. The owner was great answering all my questions prior via the messaging app on VRBO very promptly. My father-in-law must have cried at least 4 times from happiness! Both sets of parents got to spend a lot of quality time with the grandkids. Finally, my FIL summed it up best. “Of all the great memories created in this beautiful place, my favorite was drinking a cup of coffee on the pool deck overlooking the magnificent view of the ocean every morning!” Thank you Hawaii and Shangri La for the wonderful memories!
