Reviews of Property: Absolute Oceanfront Private Home - NEW LOWER RATES!!

We found everything as described, with both homes fully equipped and in good order. Our stay in both places was thoroughly enjoyable, and we highly recommend a stay at either place !

Just wanted to say that Trisha has been extremely
helpful and accommodating. Thank you for all your
help and advice.

Stayed at house from 10/6/08 to 10/13/08. Was there with a work group for the 30th Ironman event. The house and location were excellent. The 3 separate levels of the house worked out great to give some privacy to each floor. Great open views from 2nd and 3rd floor.

Sterling and Trisha were very responsive to any requests. The only issue we had was with the wireless access. Being there for a work function, the wireless access was critical. Sterling tried to help but I believe the issue is with the wireless router. Sterling has promised to fix.

Overall, great house, location and management. Would recommend to everyone.

It's been nearly a year since our family stayed in your wonderful home. There's not a month that goes by when we don't wish we were there. When we return it will be to celebrate with other dear family members. Can't wait.

We traveled with my 3 young kids and met my brother-in-law's family and parents-in-law at this house. Our 3 families (11 people) fit perfectly with the 3 separate apartments that this house has. We had the ability to make our own meals and stay together in a convenient location. The pool was great and the kids had a blast. We ate every meal outside. The location was convenient to the things that we wanted to do near Kailua-Kona. Overall, it was just a fantastic trip and a fantastic house. I can tell you that I pushed to get a house right on the water and everyone was grateful that we were ocean-side. We slept every night with the windows open and could hear the waves. There is an ocean-access right next to the house but we didn't use it to swim. It was rocky and could be a little rough to enter the water (we did see a lot of locals that meet and swim at this beach) but we did enjoy exploring the tide-pools and climbing around on the lava rocks.

A few things we really enjoyed:
- visit to Puuhonua-o Honaunau Nat'l Historical Park (City of Refuge) was a great place to visit and explore - only about 45 min south and was just a 1/2 day trip
- Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tour - just amazing to see the lava flowing and to fly through the steam coming out of the volcano
- Fair Wind 2 boat trip to Kealakekua Bay to snorkel was great, even for 3 little kids (5 and under)

Have a great trip!

Absolutely the most beautiful vacation home I have been in. It was 5 star, my family can't wait to return

What can you say about paradise, this place was fantastic, you literally only need to bring your clothes, the owners think of everything, no matter if adults are going or family, they were ten in our group and not one person had anything bad to say, the location to town is perfect away from the noise but close enough to walk, also the location to the beach was worth it alone, we walked and walked, seeing the turtles come the shore line, where you could go in the water and be right next to them was worth it all. All the comments describing this place are true. We felt that having such a great place to relax after our daily excursions made that much more wonder. Staying here was like having your home on the island, because they thought of everything you felt like home.

Thank you for making our trip to the Island that much better.

10 of us stayed at the Kona Shangrila home in April, 2005 for 10 days and had the most memorable trip. The home has absolutely everything a group could dream of: privacy on each floor, fabulous views, the ocean out the back door, and the wonderful breezes through the sliding windows and doors.

The sunsets were gorgeous, the pool and jacuzzi refreshing. We barbecued, played games, went out to dinner in Kona,and did as many tourist things as we could pack in.

All of us recommend the Shangrila home to groups who care about beauty, want a clean and beautiful place to stay with very responsive owners.

Thanks to Trish for all her help in making our stay great.
