Kelly & Kim were full of Hawaiian Aloha spirit. 1) easy to reach prior to our stay 2) welcoming upon arrival (like old friends!) and 3) were terrific hosts - present, but never hovering, always generous and gracious.

The Sugar Shack 2 should be called Sugar paradise. Airy, spacious, beautifully decorated and perfect for coffee country (grinder, french press and their own local beans!) Macadamia nuts, avocados, lemons - you know what they say - Paradise! Everything you need!

The location is terrific for sampling the beaches of the Kona coast. Do try the pastries at the Bayview farms just south on the highway, and the Lau Lau at Super Js. Keei cafe to the north for a special dinner.

We are already planning our next trip to the Big Island and the Sugar Shack is on our "recommended list!" Thanks Kelly and Kim! Mahalo!
