I won't duplicate all the other great things that other reviewers have posted, except to say they're all spot on. The Honeymoon Suite was perfect for me and my wife, not just because we like to cook a lot of our own meals when we travel (there's a supermarket nearby, as well as Da Poke Shack, which sells fresh fish...

We stayed for a week, with my parents, my sister and her husband, and our 2 year old daughter, and had an amazing time. We stayed in the three bedroom Ocean suite and were extremely happy with everything. The location is fantastic, and we spent plenty of time at the beach across the street, or just lounging on the balcony.... More

I'd heard great things about the Sugar Shack, and decided to give it a try. If you are visiting Kona, and you're primary interest is in snorkeling, this is a good location to base yourself from, because it's a little south of the noisy busy part of Kona (about 4 miles), and it ranges from extremely close (Kahalu'u) to reasonably...

Kona Sugar Shack was the PERFECT place to begin our Hawaiian honeymoon - it's hard for me to even write this review because I miss it so much! We stayed in the Honeymoon Pool Suite - it was spacious, clean, well appointed - we had everything we needed. The outdoor kitchen for our private use was great - every night... More

This was our 3rd visit to the KSS. 2005, 2007, and now 2011. We have stayed there with family and friends. J and John are excellent hosts. J is a great resource for locating the best beaches and shopping. John enjoys people. They are very accommodating. Everything is there at the house! Beach, snorkel, you name it, they have it... More

We stayed at the Sugar Shack for a bit more than one week and we felt in love with it, cannot wait to come back... We were lucky enough to stay in the Honeymoon Suite and especially liked the outdoor kitchen a lot! Service, value, location and the rooms were just perfect for us and we really felt like home...

My husband and I met Jae, the owner of Kona Sugar Shack, by pure coincidence - we had troubles getting in touch with the owner of the place we booked at, and she was a passer-by we asked for help. As it was already late, Jae was a true life-savior - she helped us make several phone calls (our international... More

We had a great stay here. We were a family of six (two grandparents, two parents and two children) and occupied the entire upstairs (three bedrooms). When booking a vacation rental, I worry that the representative will misrepresent the property or "nickel and dime" me. Neither was the case here. What was represented was true, and there were no hidden... More

We stayed for four nights in the Ocean Suite and it was just perfect - well set up home away from home, very comfortable rooms and facilities and a great beach and snorkelling across the road. Jae and John were excellent hosts - very helpful and friendly. Thoroughly recommend. More
