The Kona Sugar Shack is perfectly located for touring all over the island...it is the place to come home to at the end of the day and feel totally at home with all the amenities.

The best and only way to stay on the Big Island! The Kona Sugar Shack has a great location on Ali'i Drive--its removed enough from touristy Kona, yet still has access to all the great amenities such as grocery stores and beaches.

Well, 2-3 miles south, on Alii... more

We did not end up staying there because in the middle of the process after I booked my flights they changed there minimum stay. There booking method a little loosy goosy. Save your self a headache if you want to stay there make sure you lock it (writing) in before confirm any thing else more

John and Jae are Hoteliers extraordinaire! We stayed in their Ocean Suite which has an ocean... more
