Vacation 40 minutes from home
We had a wonderful stay at the Shangri-La. One easy night of beach going, dining and a rocket launch. Perfect little getaway in a well-appointed and unique setting. Houseboat is in slip closest to restaurant - almost as close as a dining room!! Bed was comfy and cabin was very clean. We will return!

Beautiful getaway spot
This boat was so nice and had everything we needed. We were so comfortable and our dog enjoyed it too! We enjoyed the view from the top deck, and watched dolphins feeding in the morning. Parking was only a minor inconvenience,

It was a great place to stay and relax.
It was a special place to stay. Very convent to all the activities we wanted to do. Great restaurant and bar just a short walk away. Private place on the water just to hang out on our private dock. Definitely a different experience then any hotel we have ever stayed in. Thank you very much for the cleanliness of interior and outside. The grill and the private space were a bonus.

Excellent unique getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! What a unique experience. We loved being right next to the Dolphins restaurant as well. It was equipped with everything needed and had an adorable modern flair. The directions and detailed explanation given prior to our arrival was well articulated and made the experience excellent.
