Having extra guests on the property to attend any gathering costs an additional $2,000-$5,000. This fee can be paid on arrival and includes access to the 3,000 square feet of outdoor covered space including the big tiki hut, 3 stall luxury restroom trailer equipped with AC, stereo, paper towels, and TP, Silent disco equipment, Industrial fridge, 15...... 6 foot long rectangle tables, 15..... 5 foot long circle tables, 75 tan banquet chairs, 75 white folding chairs, 400 sq. ft dance floor, outside custom tiki bar, outdoor lighting in the tiki hut and backyard, and our parking lot for 30+ cars.
Here is a short list of rules we have for having extra guests and renting premium amenities.
All outside music must be off by 10pm. You can play music in the game house after 10pm
75 people is the max limit for any gathering.
Occasionally parties have gotten out of control, so to help you prevent this issue, an off duty BPD Officer must be hired for security. Having this nonintrusive officer standing at the end of the driveway relieves your duty to unnecessarily deal with police being called during your special day.
If you are serving liquor you must purchase a liability policy you can buy online for about $150. Internet search K and K insurance for coverage options. Email me your certificate of liability insurance 30 days prior to arrival with Don Power as the beneficiary.
An additional $1,000 deposit will be required for having extra guests at the home. If any house rules, extra guest rules, local noise ordinance laws, or excessive wear and tear on the property and home occur, your deposit may be forfeited. If no rules are broken, the deposit will be returned within 5 days of check out/visual inspection of the property.

Nice location on river with scenic views. House has lots of space for a big group of friends or family trip. The Game house is the highlight with lots of fun things to do!
I stayed for 3 nights with my family and we loved it. The pool was amazing! The game room was out of a movie. Very big home, i recommend this home 100%!
We had family from all over the country get together here. Worked out very well for us. The landlord was super nice & super accessible during our stay.

Thank you for enjoying our property. It was a joy to have all of you and you took top care of everything. Come back anytime...you are always welcome here.
This property was perfect for our reunion. Family members of all ages enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner in the Tiki Hut! There were plenty of activities available on site; we never heard anyone say they were bored! We loved the pool, the game room, board games, kayaking and just relaxing. The owners were very helpful and responsive. Thank you, Don.
This is our third stay here, and another amazing experience. Colton is a great host, always available to take care of anything we needed. Our party included 11 people staying on property, and another 20 visiting from the area. Plenty of room for everyone, plus several amenities like the pool, game room, kayaks, and a wonderful sitting area by the water. Plenty of parking and a scenic area for relaxing. Highly recommended!

Spring break vacation
This house had it all. We had a hand full of 13 yr old boys and not once did any of them get bored. The fishing was great! The game room was awesome and the pool was amazing. Don was great to work. He was available during our whole stay to answer any questions. Definitely recommend this home.

Thank you for truly enjoying our home. Come back anytime.
What a wonderful time everyone had. We arrived a couple days in advance for a wedding, on site, and no one wanted leave. The littles were able to swim, middles kayak, and adults prep and then relax. Plenty of room to spread out for various activities. Kitchen was well stocked for us to enjoy cooking on site as well. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!
Amazing, diverse, interesting and quiet River Home!
This is one amazing and interesting property! A great place to have an event, hold meetings or simply relax with family/friends. The pool/spa is awesome, the kayaking is great on the river, the diversity of this house is a thing to behold! If you are looking for a very cool place to stay or hold an event, this is your place. Don't hesitate!

Thank you Gary for being a great guest. You are welcome anytime.
The property provided everything we could expect and/or want, from the crib and high chair for the baby to the game room for the adults, to the beach chairs & towels & umbrellas, kayaks with guided tour, pots, pans tableware, etc., all for 20 people ranging in age from 1 year old to Great Grandpa age 90.
The property is beautiful and well-kept. The service was absolutely amazing from the reservation down to every detail of our event. Our host Coltin was and is the very best. He was so attentive to us and our multiple needs. He always responded in a very timely manner. Our meeting was a success and we would definitely come back again.
Step into a world of wonder and thrill at this extraordinary venue, a true paradise for our spirited boy's soccer team. Within these walls, remarkable experiences and indelible moments were crafted, leaving an everlasting mark on their hearts. It's no wonder that we have already made up our minds - this sanctuary will undoubtedly be our chosen haven once again, eagerly awaiting next year's highly anticipated tournament.
Overall we were very happy with our stay. We were met by the owner's son and he was very helpful with showing us all the features and answered questions. He even helped us unload our cars. Initially the technology needed to use certain features was a little daunting but we made it work. The huge cooler in the garage was a life saver!

Fantastic place for family time!
We had a wonderful time enjoying this home with extended family members in town for a wedding. There are enough games, activities, etc to keep everyone busy and happy! The house was very well stocked with supplies, kitchen essentials. etc
We enjoyed the cleanliness both inside and outside the house! Everything is in good-working order, and the owner is very responsive to questions and committed to making sure his guests are well taken care of. This a home you can rent confident that when you open that door, you will be delighted!

Was perfect for our family. More room than needed!
We are big cooking people. The kitchen equipment and grill were excellent. We never went out! The pool area was beautiful and the water front unique and relaxing. The game room was amazing. Watch the NCAA national championship and Frozen Four Finals on the big screen while playing ping pong and shooting pool. Was the best vacation we’ve ever had. It was so private and peaceful. The equivalent to having an entire resort to yourself!

Fantastic property for our extended family gathering
Very well appointed estate with plenty of room for our family gathering. We found everything we needed for our family of 16. The highlights include the excellent pool and hot tub with waterfall, the manatees that hung out by the dock, kayaks and paddleboards, one incredible massage chair, the game and theater room. Martin was readily available when we reached out with questions but allowed us to enjoy the property without intruding during our stay, perfect! Very peaceful location, plenty of parking, lots of space, plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained....easy property to recommend. We loved our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again should the opportunity arise.
My extended family and I stayed at this property for a funeral (16 of us). We were so fortunate to find such an amazing place at this location.
I have stayed at many, many short term rentals but this one really stands out, there is so much to do for a large group both day and night that we never left the property.
A nearby contact can really come in handy...especially when you accidentally set of the smoke alarm. lol! We are considering having a reunion each year here since everybody came from far away (SoFlo, Jax, Texas and North Carolina).

About the host
Hosted by Coltin Power
I’m a 25 year old paddle boarding and pickleball enthusiast! I love to go to the Florida springs, exercise, build my businesses, do 75 Hard, swim, read, travel and welcome new friends to my childhood home! I grew up at Shangri-La and had my fair share of fun times and good memories there, now it’s your turn!
Why they chose this property
My family built Shangri-La in 1995 to raise my brother and I, to be a gathering place for friends and family, and to leave a legacy for future generations of the Power family. Sharing our home with travelers from all around the world wasn't part of the original plan, but it has been the most rewarding part of building our home! We had two decades of creating fun and unforgettable memories here as a family. Now, we invite your families to create lasting memories and experience the utopia of Shangri-La!
What makes this property unique
