Hilo Shangrila - Oceanfront, Pool and Hot Tub Private Vacation Rental

Let the oceanfront, gated retreat of Hilo Shangrila envelop you, with its private saltwater pool, hot tub, and covered lanai, all just a stone's throw from the peaceful Pacific. New air conditioning has been added in all bedrooms for total guest comfort. We are constantly upgrading our home with guest comfort in mind! Situated in the quiet, rural Hawaiian Paradise Park neighborhood, the home beautifully accommodates six guests.

Hilo Shangrila's airy, inviting living room and well-equipped kitchen feature soaring ceilings and a wall of glass doors to maximize ocean views and indoor-outdoor living. The home also boasts a dining space for six in full view of the ocean, an office space and additional sitting area, and a laundry area.

The master bedroom at Hilo Shangrila offers more vaulted ceilings, a king-size bed, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower. The welcoming guest bedroom also has high ceilings and a queen-size bed, as well as its own full bath just steps away, with a large tub and shower. The third sleeping area is adjacent to the master bedroom and has a pull out sofa.

The saltwater swimming pool has a breathtaking view of the brilliant blue Pacific. Its surrounding lanai provides the opportunity to soak up the warm Hawaiian sun or lounge in the shade. A covered hot tub is the perfect setting for enjoying cooler evenings, and a gas barbecue grill creates another option for meals at home.

This Puna-area home on the Big Island's east side allows easy access to attractions such as black-sand Kehena Beach, Pohoiki (aka Isaac Hale) Beach Park, and the Na Ala Hele hiking trail. In nearby Pahoa town, guests will find excellent seafood, Italian, Mexican and Filipino restaurants, along with a 50's-style coffee shop and a natural foods market. At the farmers' markets, take advantage of the opportunity to sample unusual local fruits (like passion fruit, star fruit, lychee, mango, and papaya); feast on a homemade crepe with bananas, chocolate and cream; try some homemade Thai noodles or salads; find a unique, hand-crafted piece from a Big Island artist; enjoy a soothing professional massage; or experience authentic Hawaiian music. Live the authentic Hawaiian lifestyle of aloha at Hilo Shangrila!

Standard occupancy for this rental is 2 guests with a max occupancy of 6 guests.

This is a Hawaii County licensed short term rental.

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.

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!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. 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.

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!

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.

Hilo Shangri La great place to stay
We loved staying here. The hot tub and ‘slightly heated’ pool made all the difference! Some nights were cool enough that an unheated pool would’ve been too cool! The view was the best and we were able to watch the turtles down below everyday.

Amazing Hideaway on an Amazing Island
This property was insane, and really was the highlight of our stay. Most people say the accommodations on a Hawaii vacation aren’t worth it because you “only sleep there,” but we found ourselves budgeting extra time to enjoy the house. Everything was absolutely perfect - book here, you won’t regret it!

The Perfect Place To Relax!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. 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!
