We loved our stay and felt well taken care of by both the owner Shawna, and the property manager Lachandra. This was our first time on Eleuthera and we were surprised by how undeveloped the island is. Our only suggestion is that the outdoor furniture, especially the chairs, need replacing. Thanks again.

It has a laidback, island feel to it. It is very spacious both inside and outside. We were able to discover much of the island and different beaches - all beautiful. It is a peaceful island - most of the beaches we had to ourselves or only saw a couple of other people. We really appreciated being close to Governor's Harbour for groceries and trying out the different restaurants.The owner went out of her way to give us advice and answer questions - we greatly appreciated it!We would definitely recommend it !

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just got back from a weeks stay at Shangri-La and had the best time! This house was extremely convenient for all our travels. Being within 5/10 minutes of Governors harbor, grocery stores, eateries and the airport made our travel so easy! The gated community made us feel safe and the location of the house on the quiet beach road makes it the perfect spot for solitude. It would also be a great house for children to play. You can’t see the ocean from the house but it’s just a short walk up a small hill. And the beach is beautiful! You can hear the sound of the ocean from the house which was relaxing. The beds were very comfortable with great quality sheets. The kitchen had everything we needed. The owner and caretaker were quick to answer any questions. Looking forward to another stay!

We had an issue with the washing machine and when I contacted the owner, she sent someone out the next day. Unfortunately the machine was not fixed but we had plenty of towels to use the rest of the week. The beach was just a short walk across the street and was stunning. I would stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the pleasure of staying at this lovely villa for 2 glorious weeks. We were a group of 4 and stayed here very comfortably. It could easily accommodate more. We found the place incredibly tidy and clean and extremely well maintained. The kitchen was very well-equipped with everything you need for meals cooked in. It was complete with an outdoor gas barbecue. All systems functioned to an exceptional level including the gas oven, air conditioning units and we so appreciated the consistent water pressure and constant ceiling fans to help with air circulation. We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay, just minutes from a beautiful beach. We would definitely entertain a subsequent visit. Thanks so much to the house manager Lachadra and her team.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Shangri-la was a lovely, comfortable home centrally located on Eleuthera. Our neighbors were delightful and introduced us to the house and property. Lachadra, the property manager, was very helpful and welcoming. (We also rented a car from her company, Cadet Rentals, and were pleased.) Something to be aware of when you visit Eleuthera is that the power grid can be sketchy. We experienced several power outages during our time on the island--we had forgotten about this. We felt fortunate that the layout of the house was open and there were screen doors we could open for ventilation. We kept the bedroom doors closed so the cool air would not escape and this worked out well. I will admit to being a smidge jealous of another neighbor's generator. lol. The house was comfortable and exactly what we needed--highly recommended!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is exactly as the photos show-creatively designed and nicely appointed. The myriad ceiling fans were usually enough--we only turned the AC on to sleep. The house has a coffee maker and plenty of dishes. The knives in the kitchen do need to be sharpened. There are a million towels and pillows and linens to choose from. Driving thru 2 gates to get to the house made us feel safe. The cottage on site is clearly separated from the main house--plenty of privacy. We tried many other beaches but in the end the beach around the corner from this house was ideal: clean, empty, long and pink. The water was calm and clean and warm--so easy to bob around with a noodle and just talk. We saw turtles, rays and small sharks. The house had many beach chairs, noodles and an umbrella. The beach was ideal and lovely. We appreciated the outdoor shower after the beach. The insects are no joke so spray the second you step outside and reapply. We reported a few minor issues which were resolved quickly. I would stay here again--you won't find a nicer beach on Eleuthera.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I keep coming back to this house and for good reason. Because it's better than perfect. The house is in excellent condition and is consistently upgraded. Every time I come there is something new. This time the deck was newly painted and as well as the kitchen and a new mural on the wall. Every thing you could need to make your vacation better is supplied. From rafts,new beach chairs, umbrellas, sunscreen and 2 coolers.The bedrooms are huge and both have their own bathrooms. The loft can sleep 3 and is perfect for kids. The deck has a couch 2 loungers and a table that seats 6. This is a perfect home in a perfect location. The best part of this rental is the team that takes care of the property.Chad the house manager greets us every year on check in day. She remembers each returning guest and caters exclusively to your needs.Rosalee make sure the house is spotless. She even came by midweek and asked us if our sheets needed changing. Her husband is there every morning raking the yard and watering plants.I don't know how they consistently make it better year after year.This house feels like home to me. It's full of love and that comes from the team that cares for it.Thank you for another perfect visit.

We stayed at this property over Christmas. We paid a lot per night, my expectations were high for the price we paid. The property no longer looks like pictures. I wish vrbo allowed renters to share photos. 1. The sofa is disgusting with moldy spots and stains all over it. My daughter refused to even sit on it. It’s really bad when the sun shines bright and you can see. At night I pretended it looked like pics. 2. The beds are no longer comfortable and need a refresh. The one pillow per person stinks. 3. I didn’t realize the prop had no dishwasher. They didn’t even leave soap to hand wash dishes. We left our half used bottle of course. 4. So many wasps, like 8 active nests. This made sitting outside difficult. 5. That nice photo of the outdoor lounger, do not envision yourself sitting on that... it’s equally old and stained and in need of replacement. 6. Location amazing. 7. The kitchen cookware is awful. The kitchen itself is rough. Overalll, we paid a lot for this property and I regret choosing it. I reached out to owner and she didn’t care that we felt this way, she believes her prop is great. The location is incredible and the prop has so much potential. If the owner replaced the items I mentioned, paying what we did would be no issue. But when you are away from home over a holiday and pay top dollar, then you should equally have a prop that looks like the photos. Like, get rid of the wasps nests at least! Seriously wish I could share pics.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our home was awesome. It was clean, had everything we needed and was a home you could relax in and truly enjoy. The Beach, just a hop skip and a jump away was one of the most perfect beaches I have ever seen. In two weeks we saw a total of 6 other people on it. The owner, Shawna, couldn’t have made our trip any more pleasant and Eleuthera rentals takes the worry out of renting, Pam is. awesome. If you like quiet and peace this is the place for you. The locals are so friendly and helpful you can’t help but feel at home. Food is a sticker shock, so if you can, bring some along with you.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family has stayed at several homes in different parts of Eleuthera (and the Cove and Sky Beach) over the years and Shangri-La was hands down our favorite. It is located conveniently close to the Governor's Harbour Airport and Governor's Harbour. We have found that this is central on the island and allows us to explore both north and south. Although it is not located directly on the beach, it was so close it might have well as been. This is nice for those beach days when you want to make a three minute walk back to the house for forgotten sunscreen, a hat or maybe just another cold Kalik. The property was perfect for 5 adults...there was enough space that we were not stepping on each other and we spent many hours on the lovely, spacious deck. The home was well equipped with everything we needed. I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Shangri-La is the perfect place to spend a vacation on the island. The property is just steps away to an incredible beach that we felt like we had all to ourselves for miles. The house has tons of space and with two teenagers they could spread out if they wanted. The kitchen is well appointed which was great for in-home meals and cooking. We loved the furnishings and décor and all the special touches. Shawna was an excellent host -- she was attentive and responsive to our needs and questions and appreciated all the information, recommendations and tips she provided before our arrival and during our stay. The caretake, Lachadra, was so helpful as well. The location was ideal; only a short drive from the GHB airport, a short drive into town, and great starting point to explore the island. We can't wait to return!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Another incredible week at Shangri La. This was my second time renting this house. And my 6th visit to Eleuthera. It was better then perfect. It didn't think it could get better then the first visit but somehow the owner and house manager figured that out. I was again impressed on how they do it. The house is located on the best part of the island, mid point so exploring is easy. It takes 90 minutes to get to Lighthouse and about the same to reach Ben Bay. The house comes with everything you need to explore with ease. A large cooler for your longer days out or a mini cooler for beach days in front of the house. House came fully equipped with beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, rafts, beach bags and even freezer packs for cooler! Forget your water shoes or hat at home? Well there are plenty of extras at the house along with extra sunscreen and bugspray.The porch as always was the gathering spot from early morning coffees to evening drinks. Plenty of sitting room inside as well, with weather being perfect we never actually sat inside. We ate most meals in because it was easier for us being vegan. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking.I cannot explain how incredible this house is. I will be back again and again. Many thanks to the whole team that made my week the best. Much respect.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was in a perfect position just behind Banana beach. A minutes walk.. No roads to cross.. We could not have asked for a better house and location. A lovely coastal path along old Banks road also and a short walk to Pascal's Retaurant. The house had a beautiful island feel. Simple yet homely and great for kids. Communication before and during our stay was fantastic.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the perfect place to spend a week's vacation to relax and truly wind down. Travel options in 2020 had to be thought through carefully and we were glad to find Shangri-La. The property is in a private gated community. We were surprised at how short a walk it is to the beautiful beach from the property – the owners have thought of everything as beach chairs, shades, toys, floats were kept available to use for the perfect beach day.The week we were there, there were a few days when it rained and overcast – however, we didn’t feel like we missed out on anything as Shangri-La has tons of space which allowed everyone to spread out in the wide open areas or spend time hanging out in one of the rooms or cozy loft area to enjoy a book.The kitchen is well appointed with every appliance that we needed for the stay. Tons of linens and towels are available to really make you feel at home. The furnishings and décor were really well thought out and gave us that out-island, pure vacation getaway feel!The property was very clean and the owners and caretakers vigilant about Covid protocols as sanitizer and wipes were available – we really felt comfortable and safe on arrival and throughout our stay.Shawna was an excellent host as she provided tons of information about her favourite spots and places to visit. She was very attentive to our needs and responded quickly to any questions we had to make sure that everything was meeting our needs and expectations. Lachadra was amazing also – she made sure we had her number in case we needed to ask her about anything on-island and was so gracious in providing some welcome refreshments and homemade ice cream.I would highly recommend this gem of a property to anyone visiting Eleuthera! The property is well located, only a short drive from the airport and a short drive into town. We would not hesitate to stay here again and hope to visit again very soon!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is simply terrific. Have stayed on this property for 5 years running. It is only about 100 yards to walk to the beach along a clear but lush pathway AND a short road or beach walk to PASCAL'S restaurant and Sammy's Bar. The property is maintained with excellence - clean, bright well appointed. Nice linens and bath items throughout. Some folding beach chairs welcome for visits to the incredible (and extremely uncrowded) beaches. The local management personnel are a breath of fresh air in that they are very friendly and accommodating - they truly want your stay to be a vacation and stress free. Cannot recommend this spot highly enough. We will return next year, and the next year, and......

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my third trip to Eleuthera and this rental was my favorite. Not just in eleuthera, as i travel outside the US alot and always rent from Homeaway. This was the best property i have ever rented. First of all the location was perfect. Easy to explore the whole island. The house has everything you need and everything you didnt know you needed.beachchairs, umbrellas, floats, snorlkle gear, cooler etc. Also they have 5 gallon water jugs which are so convenient to refill at the local gas station. The house was large and had room for more then our party of 4. Could easily accommodate 8. The outside deck was large with a gas grill we used for all our dinners. The beach was the best part. So easy to get to. Just right down the path in front of the house. This review would not be complete without mentioning Chad. She was our caretaker while we were there. She can arrange anything you need. We had her stock our fridge with beer for us before we got there. Also rent a car from Chad and her husband Barry. All i can say is Wow! Bravo. Outstanding. This house is the best! You will see me again.
