About this house rental
PLEASE CONTACT OWNER HERE 'BEFORE' SUBMITTING ANY RESERVATION REQUEST!
OWNER ALWAYS WANTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ALL GUESTS 'BEFORE' GUEST CAN PROCEED TO A 'RESERVATION REQUEST'. OWNER WANTS TO BE SURE TO ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS FIRST. 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 for children 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).
• Lowest-Priced Oceanfront Duplex on Emerald Isle,
• 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.

Shangri La was my family's first time to Emerald Isle. House was right on the beach which was never crowded and the pool was perfect for an end of day dip or to cool off during the day. Pool was very well kept. There was a small hiccup with the pool which Don quickly took care of. What I will say about this property is the house needs a bit of an update. Washer/Dryer were old as well as dishwasher. Fridge could have used an ice maker. There were alot of utensils and dishes but alot of it was old and rusty/dirty. Also, there are plenty of homes rent that include towels. , spices, . Would consider renting again.
5.0 / 5.0
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.
5.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed our stay very much. The location of the property was great, even though we spent most of our time in the beautiful pool and sitting on the deck looking out at the ocean. The house was exactly as shown not fancy but very comfortable. The host was very gracious and attentive to our needs.

My husband and I had a wonderful week at ShangriLa! The unit is exactly as shown, not fancy but very comfortable and well maintained. The owner was very easy to deal with and the check-in procedure very easy and clear. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking items. We enjoyed the easy walk to the beach and the heated swimming pool, although you should bring your own beach chairs.The unit is close to grocery stores and restaurants, so you don’t have to drive far if you need something. We certainly would love to stay at ShangriLa again.

We were very happy with this rental and this host. Don was thorough in the check-in and check-out instructions. The pool was amazing, well maintained, and spacious. This house is comfy with a relaxed beach feeling. Wonderfully decorated. The kitchen is fully stocked. You can make a feast or a quick sandwich. Beds were comfortable. The quilts provided are just enough if you feel chilly in the night. Hoping to stay again some day! Thank you Don for providing the perfect house for this friends vacation.

This is our 6th time vacationing in Emerald Isle, but our first time at this property. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The house was clean and inviting. Was so excited that there was such a nice selection of puzzles and board games for our kids. The pool was the hit of the week- our kids lived in it! Very nice to have the option to go to beach or pool. Will definitely be returning!
5.0 / 5.0
This is our second year staying at Shangri La and we will definitely be returning for a 3rd. Let me be very clear, the house isn’t fully updated with stone countertops and stainless appliances. It is, however, clean and well maintained. We don’t spend much time inside so this fits our needs perfectly. The view is absolutely amazing as you are right on the beach. We have stayed at 3 other homes in Emerald Isle and none have a pool that’s even close in size to Shangri La…it’s huge! Communication with Don was easy and he responded quickly to a couple simple questions during our stay. Nothing but positives to say about this property.

Our favorite beach property in North Carolina! Clean, well maintained, well appointed, convenient location, and a lovely stretch of beach. Sand, sun, surf, pool, and friendly people.
We had perfect weather! Even if there is a little rain, there is lots to explore on Emerald Isle.
A wonderful spot to enjoy in this lovely area of the Atlantic Coast! Highly recommended.

We love staying at Don's place. This was our second time and we plan on coming back as long as he will have us! We rented both sides for our large family. The pool is amazing and loved hang out by it and the beach is only a few short steps away. This is truly a gem!!!

We were looking for a new rental place when we saw this one. We were well satisfied with the property. VRBO and the owner was great to work with. Property was clean and well kept and looks just like the listed pictures. Recommend this property for a great vacation.
2.5 / 5.0
Our family and friends had an amazing stay at the Shangri-La. It was perfectly located right on the beach within walking distance of the pier. The pool was huge and made a great second option when you wanted something different than the ocean. The property is accurately listed and is not a "luxury" home. That said, it is extremely clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable and linens were clean. Don was a great host and provided good checking/checkout instructions and was available when needed. Our entire group was 100% happy with the house and are already looking at dates for our return visit!

Awesome view, pool, host
It is an older property with a lot of charm and space. Very clean upon arrival. The view is wonderful, area and location is great! Host response to any issues is immediate and accommodating. All appliances work, the appliances are older, absolutely adds to the charm. Kitchen is very well stocked. Only complaint about kitchen is dull knives. Not owners fault. Internet is slow, in that area, kind of expect that with internet. Again not owners fault. Pool is wonderful, very well maintained. Felt very comfortable while there. Absolutely a great place for a family vacation with family! Would absolutely stay at property again!

EXCELLENT VACATION
My husband and I were very impressed with the house, location, the heated pool, just everything. We loved it so much that while on vacation I texted the owner and asked him to pencil us in for the same week next year. It was just fantastic. The heated pool made all the difference. The house was clean and neat.

Another very memorable vacation here!!
The Pool and the views here are wonderful!
And we were very satisfied with this house once again. The house was exceptionally clean this year. We rented both sides this year. The furniture and beds are all very comfortable. This is not a new house but it is well maintained and in good condition. There has been a number of updates here since our stay two years ago but we were happy with this house even then. The location is the best in our opinion. Don texted us on Monday just to check in and see if everything was OK which was very thoughtful. We mentioned that one of the deck chaise lounges was cracked and Don's maintenance guy came over the same day with a new one! Love the new washing machine with the clear lid that was delivered the day we arrived.

Wonderful Time
We were looking for a way to get away from the everyday stress of the current times. We had a wonderful stay. Lucked out with warm but not scorching days of sun on the beach, much time in the heated pool, and very nice neighbors in the other side of out duplex. The owner was 100% responsive to the few things about which we needed. The inside was mot fancy, but certainly clean and bright with great views of the ocean. Well worth the investment in a weeklong getaway! I would definitely consider renting again.

A perfect week
This property was everything we needed it to be plus a little more. We LOVED the location, LOVED the pool and most importantly we felt SAFE. Given the Covid situation, safety was important to us.

Needs Maintenance
The house could use a better maintenance group. There was a stained sheet on one of the beds, stained towel, and dirty sheet left in one of the closets. The only well kept part of the property was the pool.
1.5 / 5.0
Positives:Location, very convenient/walkable to most of the action in EIBEACH! Just beautiful & very wide in this areaThe pool was wonderful and as advertised.NegativesThe house is extremely run down and in disrepair - bathroom doors don’t close, raised nail heads on deck, every painted surface chipped, beds without bedskirts and really terrible looking falling apart box springs, smelly and leaking fridge, sketchy laundry room, broken blinds in several rooms, weird stuff stored under ALL the beds, back screen door broken...There was a hurricane during our stay and the owner did not contact us to see if the house was okay or deal with any of the mess resulting from a hurricane (sand everywhere, screens that had come off, roof flashing came off). I called for the pool to be cleaned and it took about 4h bc there was so much sand in it!Bathrooms are super tiny - exactly big enough for toilet, single sink and tub

Carroll's Vacation
Wonderful vacation, just what we need. Location was great. The weather was beautiful. Being ocean front, and having access to a beautiful pool, made for a great vacation. Due to this year’s Pandemic, we did not want to venture from the property and, there was no need to. It had everything we needed and was 2 minutes from the Food Lion. Thank you!

Great beach, hazardous house
This house was a huge disappointment besides the beach and pool. When we arrived, the one set of sheets was dirty and the towels were stained/dirty. Don did change them out but was unpleasant and tried to convince me to keep them by saying that they were just stained. The Tv wasn’t working correctly and when I contacted Don he said it worked fine and I am not doing it right (it was the batteries although he didn’t have any extras available) the next morning I was told that I was too much trouble as a renter and that he hoped not to hear from me again. The house has sustained major damage from age and the hurricane. There are water stains on the ceilings, holes in the lower level decking, broken chairs, doors that wouldn’t stay closed, windows that we weren’t “allowed” to open (lower master bedroom). There were large holes in multiple walls that had just been patched. One of the couch’s had multiple rips, there were moldy pillows in the closet. The deck swayed significantly and had rusted bolts his is not an issue of out of date kitchen- this is a house that doesn’t look like the listing. There was mold in the upstairs bathroom, the air filters were filthy and the laundry room had loose wiring and mold. We were fortunate to be able to spend a lot of time outside. The beach was great and the pool was lovely. If only we could have lived outside.

Beautiful beach, horrible house
This was the worst experience I have had in a vrbo rental. The check in day started off with dirty towels and sheets (which the owner said were "just stained") and he did send over fresh towels and a set of clean sheets for my daughter. Since the towels and sheets were dirty, I was on alert for the quality of the house. After I asked the owner about an issue with the TV (the batteries were dead which he said couldn't be true) he sent me a terse text stating that he had NEVER had anyone complain like I did and he "hoped the week wouldn't continue like this" . I began to notice many serious issues- black mold in the upstairs bathroom and laundry room as well as various other places (my daughter with severe mold allergies ended up with a migraine) which does not match the assertion of a clean house on the listing. The upstairs deck moves so much (well over an inch) that I wouldn't allow anyone to go on the deck. There were holes in the floor under the main level in an area that was not locked or closed off, there were live wires and standing water in the laundry room. This is not just an issue of "we don't have granite". The foundation is problematic, the lower bathroom has a floor that is saturated with water underneath. This whole week was a disappointment and a very expensive mistake
