Thank you both for letting us stay at your terrific home. Also thank you for your kind words regarding my wife’s cleaning. She’s old school and believes it is important to treat others belonging as if they were yours. I would highly recommend your home to anyone looking for paradise to getaway, clear your head, fish, enjoy your surroundings and all the lower keys have to offer. Thanks again and hope to visit again next year. Best Regards, John and June

NICE

Best aspects of this house were the instant hot water and water pressure for showering. Porch and decks was awesome. Furniture and mattresses were not that great. Cars were constant on the road where 2 bedrooms were located. Decor and supplies were on the cheap side. The WiFi speed was quite poor. When we first arrived, there was a large dog constantly barking 2 doors down. After a week of this we called the SPCA and thankfully, the worker drove over to speak to the owner and it finally stopped. We love the beach and there were none around the area; we'd go to Key West or to Bahai Honda. It would have been nice to have some beach chairs provided or bikes or a kayak.

House is in great location, close to Maddie's for groceries, Tonio's for any meal, and the Cudjoe Gardens boat ramp. Pictures are exactly what you see and very clean. You will need to provide everything for staying there..toliet paper, dish soap, trash bags, etc. Loved sitting on porch in morning drinking coffee, though suggest something to create shade on both screened porches and deck area as sun was brutal after lunch into the evening.

We stayed at the property for July 2020. We had two boats (22 ft and 24 ft) which were easily accommodated at the dock. For the fishing group like us, there is a new shaded cleaning table and a freezer on site which was great. There is use of the screened lower level back porch for storage and relaxation. The house was clean and well furnished and comfortable and the owners are really nice and returned any calls/messages promptly. This area is great for families looking to vacation in a less tourist/crowded area than Key West or Marathon but each island is only a short ride away. This is a family neighborhood with a mix of rental houses and permanent homeowners and we felt very safe in the neighborhood walking during the early morning/late afternoon hours as well as leaving all of our gear at the rear of the residence.

Great home, great location for fishing and restaurants without going to Key West. Kitchen was fully equipped wurh essentials. Owners very easy to work with. Will recommend to others and can't wait to go back!

This is my third time returning to Shangri La and first time returning since Irma... the owners made a lot of wonderful updates to the already beautiful home right on the waterfront! New deck with pathway solar lights, new sliding glass doors, updated patio furniture and the entire home was freshly painted! The home has everything you need for a perfect getaway... the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet... many evenings just spent on the outside screened in porch watching the sun set! The house is centrally located with nearby stores, restaurants and only 20 mins from key west!! We enjoyed days at the beautiful Bahia Honda state park, fishing trip in Key West and all the essentials needed at the house to cook our fresh catch!! Shangri La is clean and well kept and will continue to be our go to for our Keys getaways! The owners are friendly and quickly available for any questions you may have... enjoy your stay!!

This is our third time staying here. The renovations since the Hurricane are marvelous. All new deck. Fresh paint. WE will be back.

We absolutely enjoyed everything the Shangri-La had to offer! All the beds and linens were clean, it was equiped with all the cookware we needed, the neighborhood is very calm & quiet. We enjoyed everyday waking up having coffee on the beautiful porch watching the sunrise! There is a perfect view of the sunrise facing East with no home obstruction during the Month of May. We were also able to catch the sunset in the evening from the porch also! We had great weather and luckily noseeums were NOT an issue, but the screened in porch surly would have been safe haven if they were to be a problem. The owners were available by phone with a few questions I had regarding the property and they made wonderful recommendations for local restaurants in the area! We will definitely return!!

3rd time staying at the Shangi-La Cudjoe home & it was our best experience yet! We were concerned about the area from Irma, but the owners assured us their home, and all our fav spots, were rebuilt quickly. Many new upgrades to the home included bright, colorful paint colors in every room (really gives it that Keys vibe), new slider out to the grilling patio, new outdoor furniture in the enclosed screen porches (my fav place to relax at the end of the night!) as well as a new dock. We hit a lot of the tourist spots, like Key West for a night {{YOU MUST VISIT THE BUTTERFLY EXHIBIT!}} and even rented a 18' boat from Cudjoe Gardens Marina just a mile or 2 away... That was super fun, we enjoyed lunch on Picnic Island, swam under the American Shoal lighthouse, and even got our very own dolphin show from a friendly school of HUGE bottlenose dolphins! If you visit the Keys, you MUST eat at The Square Grouper which is less than a mile away, we lucked out being down for stone crab season & indulged on those throughout our stay... A perfect stay once again, owners are super easy to communicate with and we can't wait to return again next year!

Overall was a great april getaway..close enough to key West and other great spots. Loved the lanai for mornings and after dinner cocktails and sitting outside and seeing the stars. Home had everything that was needed. Weather was perfect too! Thank you for a great vacation spot!

This house is one of the 3 best locations along Spanish Main Dr. The West facing screen porch is the perfect afternoon spot. You can't miss with this one.

This is our 3rd time staying at Shangrila. I have always found the owners to be pleasant & accommodating. We arrived to find the house freshly painted & clean. We enjoyed having morning coffee & snacks while lounging on the new furniture in the screened upper level area. I fished almost every day from the new dock, caught a variety of fish & enjoyed cooking them on the gas grill on the open upper level deck. We all enjoyed the short trip to Key West, only about 25 minutes away. The next door neighbor is an avid fisherman & offered help & advice when asked. We are looking forward to visiting again nest year.
