Amazing Experience for first time VRBO'er
Amazing Experience for first time VRBO'er

The Lagoon Shangrila was everything we expected it to be - AMAZING! Sterling and Trisha were amazing to work with from the day we made the reservaiton, even guiding us through our first tsunami evacuation experience when we arrived! The property and everything Sterling and Trisha offer is fantastic.
We toured nearly the entire island over the course of the week and loved having the Shangrila as our home base. The majority of the sites and activities we wanted to see and do were on the Hilo side, so it worked out great! They say that Hilo is the wet side of the island, but honestly, the early morning and late night showers we'd sometimes get at this time of year had no impact on us. The convertible top was down every day.
We traveled to the Kona side and have to say that I found the Hilo side a bit more rustic with it's rain forest and vegetation and a bit more relaxing overall.
This was my wife and my first time experience using VRBO, and if every experience is like this, we'll definitely be using it again.

Owner's Response: Aloha Rick.. Thanks so much for your great review. I am thankful that you weathered the evacuation in good humor. We do have to take serious precautions and sometimes this causes an inconvenience, but provides great stories for your friends back home. Yes, Shangrila is a place of relaxation, and provides a beautiful environment for unwinding from life's stresses. Thanks so much for taking the time to write your review. When you return to one of our properties (we have 3) let us know and we will give you the best rate we can. Aloha ! Trisha and Sterling
