Loved this property

We loved this property, the views were beautiful (including watching sea turtles playing in the waves) and we used both the pool and hot tub as the weather was rainy. A good location for a day trip to the Volcano National Park.

Beautiful oceanfront home

We really enjoyed this home. It was big enough for our family of 6. Clean & well equipped. The home is in great condition & felt classy. The oceanfront deck, hot tub & pool were awesome.

Love Hilo Shangrila

We absolutely loved our week at Hilo Shangrila! The waterfront location with breathtaking views and watching the sunrise every morning was amazing! The home is very comfortable and nicely decorated. It is on a dead end street in a very quiet neighborhood…we never heard anything but the ocean and the frogs at night. I would absolutely stay there again!!

Stunning location!!!

Absolutely stunning/beautiful location!!! Right on the ocean!! Very secluded as it is in a neighborhood so plan on being about a half hour out of Hilo. Very clean and organized house, beds were very comfortable, ceiling fans in every room. We also made use of the extra Ohano unit, which had an AC unit & fan. The primary bedroom and 2nd bedroom both had floor AC units which kept the rooms very comfortable. The pool is a salt water pool and very well maintained! We also were able to have a coconut from one of the palm trees. This was my son’s 13th birthday trip and this house allowed us to make so many memories!!!

Most relaxing getaway

We stayed here for two weeks. We were not ready to leave. Beautiful home. Beautiful view. The house is very clean and well stocked for cooking. Comfy furniture inside and out. The hot tub is a bonus. The pool was cool, but I was able to get in 3-4 times. Bring your binoculars. Whale playground just out back. The only problem-any rental we do from now on will pale in comparison.

A beautiful and relaxing home

We really enjoyed our time at this home! It is a well maintained home and property and suited our family of four perfectly! Between the pool over looking the turtle filled ocean and the hot tub my girl’s throughly enjoyed their time while my husband and I could relax to the quiet in the waves from the ocean. We will definitely be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hilo Shangrila lives up to its name. It is truly an idyllic place. The home is spacious, clean, comfortable, amply furnished and equipped. The ocean view is spectacular. We saw whales on three of the seven days we were there. A special treat was watching the sunrise at Maku'u Point, just a short walk away at the end of the street. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful view

This home has a million dollar view with the pool oceanfront. You can see the neighboring homes but it’s not a noisy neighborhood at all. The home has most all the necessities you’d need for your stay. Beds were comfortable and showers were very good. There is the extra guest house where my 15 and 9 year old stayed and they thought it was great to get their own space. It’s quite a way from Hilo but the view and neighborhood is worth it.

We'll Be Back

This is our second stay, but certainly not our last. We have some very specific "wants" for our Hawaiian holiday. Single story, private pool, oceanfront, doesn't cost us an arm and a leg...and Hilo Shangri La provides all of this. It is a funky, Hawaiian beach house and we love it. Due to airline schedule changes we had to make numerous changes to our reservation and every interaction was positive and fun.

The Perfect Place To Relax!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you are looking to relax, this place is it. The minute you enter Hilo Shangrila the weight of the world is lifted. We loved sitting by the pool and listening to the sounds of the ocean. The interior is very well kept and has everything you would need. We explored the entire island during our stay and loved coming “home” each afternoon to Hilo Shangrila. We encourage you to stay here!

Stunning

Our stay at Hilo Shangrila was everything we were hoping for and then some. The view out back is one that never gets old, and it left us awe-struck every day. Communication was thorough and timely. The home itself was extremely clean and as listed. The pool and hot tub combination was also great and both extremely clean. If you're looking for a peaceful slice of paradise, you won't be disappointed. While I'm not sure if our travels will bring us back to Hilo, I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else after our experience here - we're still talking about it even after returning home! Many thanks for making this available for our family to enjoy as a very memorable experience.

Relaxing Stay

First impression wasn’t great as it was very warm when we walked in but once we got everything opened up it was great. The pool is fantastic and we enjoyed watching the turtles swim in the crashing waves. Also, the mattresses were fantastic. Always looking for a great night sleep on vacation!
