Shedrock Shangrila, Beach Front Whole House

Property was just as pictured and described down to every last detail. We were a group of three families (6 adults and 4 children) and having the whole house was perfect for our group. The morning grounds crew kept the outdoor space impeccable making that a great area to spend our days. I would note that there is a lot of construction in the immediate area as the small peninsula the house is on is being developed. This is of course no fault to the owners but it did make for quite a bit of construction noise during the day in an otherwise very tranquil part of the town. We used Chef Aaron for the majority of our meals and that worked well so that we didn’t have to cook and grocery shop or eat out every meal. The hosts and house manager were always immediately available and all communications were prompt.

Our family vacation of 8 adults and 9 children was fantastic. The pool was perfect for many volleyball games and enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards provided. We used chef Aaron for 5 of the 7 dinners and was outstanding. Ellen was there to help with anything including help organizing a special 50th anniversary party. Thanks to all for a memorable stay

This property was everything we hoped for and more. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and there's so much space to explore and enjoy—you truly feel like you're on your own private resort. From fishing and lounging in the hammock to relaxing by the pools and cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, there was never a dull moment.The grounds are expansive and peaceful, offering plenty of room to roam and unwind. It’s the perfect blend of luxury and nature.A special thank you to Ellen, the property manager, who was incredibly kind and responsive. She answered every question promptly and made sure our stay was seamless from start to finish.Highly recommend—we can’t wait to come back!

Our group of 15 had the time of our lives at Shedrock Shangrila, all thanks to the careful coordination and active communication with the wonderful property manager Ellen and the owners. The property is breathtaking — photos can’t even do it all justice! Chef Aaron & crew cooked us our most delicious meals in Belize, bartenders Cheniele & Glenda helped make for some truly memorable nights, and massage therapists Ana & Ana gave the BEST Swedish, deep tissue & bamboo stick massages we had ever experienced. What a way to celebrate a birthday with friends & family who were visiting Belize for the first time! Be sure to explore Hopkins village on the golf carts or bicycles - some of the most amazing people you’ll ever meet :)

We stayed on the property for 6 days with 9 adults... what an experience! Communication with the owner and any issues are addressed immediately. The place is immaculate and is like having an entire resort all to yourself. We connected with Chef Aaron and had him make us a welcome dinner... so worth it! Top level food and nothing like having it ready when you arrive! We seriously couldn't suggest the place more. Make sure to plan a few days just chilling on the property because its that worth it! Went on a short Kayak ride and saw star fish, rays and an orange iguana... along with the flock of Pelicans that live on the property that are a blast to watch.

Shedrock Shangrila was simply perfection for our group. We were a large family group ranging from ages 8 to 75. The space was ideal for allowing us to all spend time with each other, but also spacious enough to allow us to have some relaxing private time if needed. The location is stunning and the views are incredible. The ground level pool right on the ocean is where we spent all our time. The host and property manager were extremely helpful, communicative, and friendly. We can’t wait to go back.

We had the most wonderful experience. The house is fabulous. It was everything I had hoped and more. The property manager and her husband were extremely responsive and there to take care of us. The owner is very nice and was extremely helpful. The new ground level pool was awesome and we enjoyed using it the entire stay. We were there for a celebration of life and Robyn was instrumental in helping me with the arrangements for our plans. I would highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful time at this amazingly beautiful property. The view from the roof top deck was spectacular. We caught a couple of sunsets behind the mountains that were stunning. Each of the rooms are beautiful. The property manager, Ellen, was incredibly responsive and helpful. She went above and beyond to make our stay special. Hopkins is a lovely little town. We came with a large group and rented the whole house which was perfect. People had there own spaces but we had a very communal experience as well. I would strongly recommend this place.

We brought our extended family of 18 (ages 4 and up) to this wonderful VRBO in Hopkins, Belize. The accommodations were perfect and extremely well maintained. Although the property can be segregated into 5 apartments on three levels, we used all of them for our clan. The beds, other furnishings, and kitchens were immaculately clean and well organized. The two outdoor roof-top pools were a great hit with the teenagers and 6 yr-old crowds. The property manager greeted us and provided an excellent overview and orientation of the VRBO. She and her husband were also very helpful during our entire stay. The local grocery store and restaurants proved to be equal to the broad range of eating styles of our family. We stayed an entire week and visited almost all of the sites in southern Belize. The central location at Hopkins was perfect for our day trips. The VRBO hosts (Tony and Robyn) were very accommodating and communicative to our needs. This VRBO is the best we've stayed at over the last 7 years of annual family vacations. We highly recommend it.

Coming from the north east to deflate before we head in to our busy season. Great manager getaway! We are hoteliers and restauranteurs. Everyone… and I mean EVERYONE was wonderful!! We enjoyed the location, views, decor and the PEOPLE. Will be returning very shortly. The street tacos were amazing everywhere we went.
