Perfect Getaway

This was our 2nd time staying at this beach house and we have already booked for next year. We love the peacefulness and beauty of island. This house is perfect and feels like home and we get to bring both our dogs which makes it the perfect vacation. The house was spacious and clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the deck and pool, this is where we spent most of our time. Can’t wait to go back next year! Mark C

Great layout for four couples even with infants. Plenty of privacy in rooms. Private bathrooms were wonderful! Pool is so nice to hang out in and look at the ocean.

Amazing house in a perfect location

It was our first time to Dauphin Island. We fell in love with the island. The house was incredible! The location was perfect & peaceful. The pool on the deck was icing on the cake! Can't wait to stay here again.

Perfect getaway

This property was absolutely beautiful. We already are wanting to come back next year and stay again. It’s big and spacious and was very clean. The deck and pool were used and loved very much. We didn’t have one complaint, very lovely home.

Beautiful Updated Property

Great property overall...However some maintenance issues. The luggage elevator was not working. Very difficult for 75 year olds to drag luggage up 21 steps and down again upon departure. The heater in the pool was not working as well as the AC was not cooling. The water pressure was also low.

Great Beach Getaway

My wife and I stayed here with our five kids to celebrate birthdays. It definitely did not disappoint. There was plenty of room for the seven of us. The beach view was one of the best parts with amazing sunrise and sunset views. The heated pool was probably the kids favorite part. The beach was not crowded and everyone we met was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay here at.

Shangri-la as billed

Excellent property. Great location. Kids loved the pool. Large bathrooms were excellent. We grill a lot. Grill was very small and no back stop under the house to stop the sand and wind. Only negative. Will return again.

Beautiful House! Needs a gas grill!

Great stay. Absolutely beautiful with pool which the kids loved. The grill was really basic. Inexpensive , charcoal fueled, heat was hard to control. Dining set outside was painted and peeling. Kids walked around with black paint chips on their backs, adults too. Compared to all the wonderful things about this house, these things are minute. We had a wonderful vacation!

The Pros and Cons of Shangri La

I want to preface this by saying that we have been going on a family beach vacation every summer for 20+ years & have traveled all along the gulf coast. Pros: house is HUGE (plenty of space), every bedroom has its own bathroom, beds & sofa are comfortable, all furnishings & decor are lovely, heated pool a plus, deck is so great for relaxing. Cons: the refrigerator and freezer smelled absolutely AWFUL (completely empty but smelled like old rotten seafood)We could not put anything in there because the packaging absorbed the smell. The ice also smelled and was unusable. Minor issue - garbage cabinet did not close all the way because of broken track on left side. Office closes at 5, called at 4:18 & left a message & no one called back. Next day we woke up to broken AC. Called the 2nd emergency number & A few hours later, JW, came & fixed the problem (drip Pan was full and the emergency shut off was activated). Lola came over to clean the fridge on Monday. She used vinegar to clean the fridge and freezer. Tuesday, the fridge didn’t smell like old seafood anymore, now it smelled like vinegar - which, i guess if you have to choose between the two, vinegar is more tolerable. The guidelines of the house state that the pool is cleaned every Saturday - it definitely gets cloudier as the week goes on…a mid week cleaning might be something to consider. Another major issue is the wifi. We get it - you’re on an island - but the wifi issue is really frustrating. We tried every night to watch a movie & wifi was too weak to stream anything. If smart TVs are advertised as something the house has, we expected that they would actually work. One last complaint was the set of check out directions. Included in the rental price is a cleaning fee and when you check out, you’re asked to complete a pretty extensive list of cleaning before you leave. Seems like a lot of work for the guests to do. I’m not sure if this is an owner issue or a management company issue or a bit of both, but for the amount of money paid to rent the house for a week, this really is all quite disappointing. We dealt with it and made the best of it, but who wants to go on vacation and deal with these sorts of things? We enjoyed the peace & quiet & quality family time, but I hope these issues can be resolved for future guests.

Amazing stay

What an amazing stay! The house is perfectly located in a non-crowded location and the sand and surf are RIGHT at your feet. The house itself is beautifully decorated and was very clean and the layout was just perfect. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with any cooking utensil you'd need, and there were plenty of board games and puzzles to keep us occupied on a rainy day. Not to mention the soaker tubs that were very relaxing after a long day on the beach. The pool was a bit on the chilly side, but we did notice a pool heater waiting to be installed, so hopefully it'll be warmer next time. I'm already planning a return trip here for next summer. The only thing I'd warn you about is the internet. It was very weak and spotty. I totally understand that it IS an island and that may come with the territory, but if you are planning on working a bit during a vacation like I needed to (I own my own business, so there is no such thing as a TOTAL vacation), you probably want to make other arrangements prior to your visit (like a Hot Spot). Overall, it was a GREAT visit and we will be back!

Family friendly!

Overall we had a wonderful stay at the Shangri-la! It was family friendly, steps from the beach, and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. So much storage for all of our food and groceries. They had all of the kitchen stuff we needed and plenty of extra blankets, bedding, and towels. Plenty of games, puzzles, and stuff for adults and kids for rainy days. The pool was nice too. The rental agency said they’re installing a pool heater which would be extremely nice on breezy, spring days. Would have liked to not have to bring a pack play or high chair if that was something the owners wanted to consider for families! This was our first time on Dauphin island and it’s so quiet - almost crazy how it felt like no one else was there because the beaches were empty! Plus we had our own private space right in front of the house. A far cry from the craziness of OBA and Gulf Shores!

Beautiful beach paradise

Great floor plan, lighting and a/c excellent, very few steps to waters edge, attractive decor, comfortable furniture. The pool was a real bonus for us and our 4y/o and 7y/o grandchildren. We all loved it. Previous rains created mosquito heaven; was h—- for us but owner was kind enough to approve a treatment which eliminated 99% of the voracious buggers! NEGATIVES: sliding door from great room to deck was very difficult to open, weak internet, weak water pressure, GPS wasn’t coordinated to the property, lack of street signage made it difficult for us and pizza delivery man to find, minimal number of towels, For seniors like me (72) Wish we could have used the elevator for loading/unloading but it wasn’t accessible. Even with these minor distractions we hope to return next summer!
