The sugar shack was fantastic, great location and great setting! Kelly and Kim were extremely generous and helpful hosts and we felt so welcome. The house and their farm were charming, surrounded by tropical trees and full of life. Geckos and mongoose, tree frogs and birds trilling at night, the sweetest little cat wandering the grounds and their lovely dogs when they are on property.

The location was great, removed from the main tourist hub and very close to some of the best snorkeling at Two Step and Captain Cook and a good variety of both fine dining and inexpensive local eateries. For cooking at home the kitchen was well stocked with implements plus a grill and full grocery only 2 miles away. The bed was comfortable, the hardwood floors were beautiful, the shower is lovely. Clean and spacious accommodations for 2.

If you are looking for somewhere less touristy and full of character and charm I can't recommend it enough. There is another similar rental on the property and the people we met were repeat visitors, as we will be next time we are on the big island!
