OCEANFRONT with LARGEST POOL at LOWEST RATE in EMERALD ISLE,PLUS FREE POOL HEAT

PLEASE CONTACT OWNER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HOUSE.
OWNER PREFERS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ALL GUESTS 'BEFORE' GUESTS MAKE A RESERVATION TO BE SURE TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AND TO MAKE SURE THIS HOUSE IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN ORDER TO MEET ALL YOUR EXPECTATIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! :-)

• LARGEST PRIVATE POOL on EMERALD ISLE!!!
Pool measures 44' long x 16' wide. The Pool design has wide, shallow steps/entrance-way at both ends which makes it great for children and the elderly. It is 4 feet deep. It also has a floating rope that divides the pool down the middle so that you have your own side for privacy. Our Concrete Deck (surrounding the pool) is cool on the feet (unlike TREX Decking that other houses use which is too hot to walk on in bare feet in the summertime).

• NO CHARGE for POOL HEATING: in May/June and Sept/Oct when heat is needed (Saves you over $550!
…because MOST houses in Emerald Isle charge $550 to $600 ‘additional’ for Pool Heating!!! We don’t!!!)
(Pool Heater operable only when the air temperature is above 60 degrees...so the month of April is very iffy if the pool will be warm enough for swimming. That is why our ‘APRIL’ RATES are comparable to homes 'without' a pool). Pool heating is not at all necessary for the months of July/Aug.
Click on "More Details" to expand this description....

• WIDE BEACH at high tide...unlike most other locations on the Island.

• MAX OCCUPANCY = 6 (no exceptions)

• This is a 'No-Pets' house...sorry! No exceptions.

DUPLEX
• This house is a DUPLEX (side-by-side, EAST & WEST). We own both sides and only rent to families. We do NOT rent to 'Partiers'.

We focus our expenditures on providing an AMAZING POOL with a clean comfortable interior, clean comfortable beds/mattresses, fresh linens and a nicely-stocked kitchen …all at a very competitive price.

We picked the place for the pool and location on the beach. We have stayed here 2x a year for the past 3+ years. Convenient to everything. Haven't had a bad meal anywhere on EI. Fishing wasn't much, but hubby survived. Looking forward to more visits here.

A wonderful reunion
This is the third year in a row that we’ve rented Shangri-La for our annual friends reunion on Emerald Isle. Don is an excellent host and his property is perfect for our group. We’re all seniors, and the pool is wonderful because the ocean can be a bit rough for our aging bodies. The pool is also heated which really makes a difference. The house is well outfitted and clean and everything works. We look forward to going back next year for the fourth year in a row.

Another Fantastic Year
This is the 3rd year in a row my family and friends stayed at the shangri-La and we are already looking to book for next year. The pool is huge and comes in extremely handy when you are done at the beach. You can’t beat the location, it’s right on the beach. You are literally overlooking the ocean while sitting on the deck. The house is more charming than updated, but it is very clean and comfortable. Don is always available and easy to deal with. We will continue to return for as long as Don will have us.

Perfect vacation in May
Spotless house and perfect location on the island. We spent half the time in pool and other in "big pool -- ocean." Comfortable furniture and beds. Lots of outside furniture. Pool so clean. Kitchen small but had everything we needed. Near some great restaurants, Dairy Queen, movies, donut shop. Couldn't have asked for more, except another week. Thank you, Don, owner.

Another Great Year at Shangri La
This is our second year staying at Shangri La and we will definitely be returning for a 3rd. Let me be very clear, the house isn’t fully updated with stone countertops and stainless appliances. It is, however, clean and well maintained. We don’t spend much time inside so this fits our needs perfectly. The view is absolutely amazing as you are right on the beach. We have stayed at 3 other homes in Emerald Isle and none have a pool that’s even close in size to Shangri La…it’s huge! Communication with Don was easy and he responded quickly to a couple simple questions during our stay. Nothing but positives to say about this property.

The house works great for our family with small kids and that there’s not a lot of breakable things in there but it’s very livable. The owner is awesome and easy to communicate with.

Annual Beach vacation
This was the second year we stayed at Shangri-La. We came back because the property is perfect for us. The house is right on the ocean and has a nice heated swimming pool. The house has everything we need. This year the air was a bit cooler and the ocean temps were hovering around 70 degrees F. Not too bad for going in, but afterwards the warm 88-degree swimming pool was blissful. The location is close to the Swansboro end of the island for easy access to restaurants there. Trips to Harker's Island and Beaufort were also doable, with the 20-mile drive along the island road. We hope to come back again next year.

Great Week at Shangri-La!
Our family and friends had an amazing stay at the Shangri-La. It was perfectly located right on the beach within walking distance of the pier. The pool was huge and made a great second option when you wanted something different than the ocean. The property is accurately listed and is not a "luxury" home. That said, it is extremely clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable and linens were clean. Don was a great host and provided good checking/checkout instructions and was available when needed. Our entire group was 100% happy with the house and are already looking at dates for our return visit!
