I just completed a month stay at Sugar Shack #3, and it was absolutely perfect in every way. Kelly and Kim were exceptional hosts - offering lots of suggestions and tips for a great stay on the Big Island, but also providing me space and privacy. If you are looking for top notch hospitality at an affordable rate near Kona, this is your spot! The Sugar Shack had all the amenities I needed for a long-term stay, including a washer and dryer and quality WiFi allowing me to work while there. Kelly and Kim's place is close to everything, but far enough away from the tourists areas to be peaceful at night (and with the amazing outdoor patio and fire pit, you will look forward to returning to the Sugar Shack each evening to unwind). If I return to the Big Island in the future, I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
