Fabulous Vacation Home
Our family has been vacationing in vrbo homes for over 10 years and we all agree this was the best. The location was perfect with the beach and ocean directly outside. The interior was exceptional with everything a vacationer might want or need.

Excellent location, and beautiful, comfortable home.
We loved everything about this home. It is perfect for families with small children because the beach is wide and the water shallow. It had all the amenities you need for a family week at the beach.
Awesome property, and Patty was excellent to work with during our stay. The view cannot be beat, and the house was everything the listing promised (and more!)
Already thinking of booking for next year!

Beachfront Family Home
Lovely home in ideal location on a great beach! Nice furnishings beach house style. We appreciated the extra wood for evening fires! Short walk to surf shop with smoothies and cappuccino. It’s obviously a well loved home!
Our family has been coming here for several years, and we have never been disappointed. The house is right on the beach and supplies all the beach accessories one would want. Patty is a wonderful owner and goes out of her way to make sure your stay is beyond perfect. Can't wait to go back.

Family gathering, making memories! That is what we are all about!!
Where can you see the morning sunrise, the evening sunset, and see the glorious beach all in one place? It is here at Shangri La. The location is stunning, but the property is amazing and well taken care of.. Plenty of room for all of my family.

Elizabeth,
We are so blessed to have your family come back to stay year after year! June will be here before you know it - Patty
Everything about this house is perfect. The views are amazing, plenty of room, clean and very comfortable. This is our 3rd time renting this property. My dad is 86 and my grandson is 2 . Great place for all ages .
Our 7th year at this extraordinary property. A perfect place to reconnect and build lasting memories. Right on the beach for beautiful sunrises. We even got to see the 5 planets aligned one those early mornings! A warm thanks to Patty and the family for sharing this very special home.

We had a wonderful time. The house was clean , spacious and had everything we needed and more. The view of the ocean could not have been better and perfect place to walk on the beach. Our ages ranged from 9 months to 85 years and we all enjoyed it so much we have already booked another week.

Lives up to its marketing. No phony photographs or representations whatsoever!
The home was simply lovely, beautiful setting, very spacious. The beds were very comfortable. Beach house that feels more an exclusive home than a typical beach getaway. We will look to booking again. Very tastefully decorated, excellent kitchen with all the tools you would find in your own home.
My for children and their spouses joined me for a mini re-union. Great week, in a great place, with great people. This eighty year old man is very, very happy!

Bob I am so very glad we were able to work this time out for you and your family! Especially during such an unusual year!
Best Wishes- Patty
We love this beautiful house! The sunrises and ocean views are the perfect antidote to long New England winters. This is the second time we rented in February to share a week with our 2 over ninety year old moms. They love it and we three sibs and our spouses find it a great way to relax. Hope to be back next year!

Hi Marg! I am so glad you enjoyed your time at Shang-Rye-La once again! I thought about ya'll and hoped everything was great. And of course we hope you are able to return again year after year!
The house and location couldn’t be better! It’s a two-hour drive away, the house has been a great vacation destination for us with our 2 ninety-plus year old mother’s and siblings each of the last two winters. With COVID-19 restrictions, my husband and I found the house as inviting for a romantic getaway! Everything you need is there and conducive to rest and relaxation. We’ll be back!
