Extra Guest Rates & Rules

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.

All set up and take down of tables, chairs, decorations, etc. are your responsibility.

IMPORTANT All events and extra guests must be approved first before booking

Beautiful property and something for everyone
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!

Sanctuary!
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.

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.

Shangri la family vacation
We stayed at shangri la for our annual summer family vacation. 14 total age 3 months to 70 years old. We had an outstanding time! The pool is spectacular! You can control the waterfalls, temp, Lights and hot tub jets with an app. We keep the hot tub a moderate temp and the little kids were able to enjoy it like a kiddie pool. The sunsets off the dock were amazing every night and there was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. The common areas in the living room and dining room worked out perfectly for our group. Plenty of shopping and sing choices to order in or drive to within 20 minutes or so. Also numerous golf courses within 15 minute drive. Coltin was a gracious host and responded promptly to any questions. We were unable to take advantage of the kayaks or paddle boards because there was so much else to do. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a large home with plenty of amenities.

About the host

Hosted by Coltin Power

Host profile image
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

>IMPORTANT< All extra guests must be approved before confirming your reservation.

We have hosted many families with a wide range of experiences at our estate and all of them have gone very well. Our past travelers have been gracious enough to leave amazing reviews and our commitment to never stop improving means your experience will be even better!
