About this property

Sunset Suzy's tropical retreat! One free night! After 7 nights.

Sunset Suzys Tropical Retreat is located perfectly 15 minutes outside of Hilo town in a beautiful neighborhood called Hawaiian Paradise park.. It is located on a beautiful one acre lot, filled with fruit trees, green grass, green geckos, and tropical birds. There are no neighbors..Only trees, birds and the quiet hush of the wind and very secluded and private.

Its beautiful cottage located on the Big Island of Hawaii with over 800sq ft is beautifully furnished and equipped with a flat screen TV, folding sofa, two twin beds, one queen bed, hibachi grill, and all kitchen cookware.
The ocean is a quick 5-minute drive away and there you will find some amazing sea scapes..with spectacular walking trails along the sea.
If you're coming to see Kilauea Volcano it is as the youngest of all of Hawaii's volcanoes, and one of the most active, yet most accessible volcanoes in the world, Kilauea is one of Hawaii's most defining natural wonders.
The volcano is located just a short 35-minute drive from Suzy's House. There are numerous hiking trails, Hot lava tours and even big lava tubes to walk through.
Hot Ponds on Big Island are located only 20 minutes away.
There are several hot springs / hot ponds in the Puna district on the east coast of the Big Island. Most are publicly accessible and especially if you are staying more than 7 days on the Big Island, these make a great addition to your itinerary!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sit in a warm pool that is heated by volcanic energy? From personal experience I can tell you that it is pretty great, especially if you realize what makes the water warm!
If you're looking to snorkel. and want to see a spectacular underwater aquarium.. Head for Richardsons beach.
This is an amazing place to swim and see hundreds of different types of Hawaii's tropical fish. Aslo located 15 minutes from Suzys house.
I now have a.c unit in my queen size bedroom to keep you cool!

Serenity in Paradise

The cottage was clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. We loved to drink our coffee on the lanai in the morning and watch the birds at the feeder. What a wonderfully relaxing place to stay on Hawaii Island.

I booked this property less than 24 hours before my arrival. The hist was very responsive and accommodating. The house is just as pictured. We got plenty of use out of the hammock out back. It was so quiet and peaceful. The kitchen had everything we needed. The air conditioner in the master was nice, although with a nice breeze, it wasn't needed all night. Would definitely stay again.

TRUE HAWAII

The home is in perfect location to Hilo and Volcano...very secluded and private. The home was incredibly clean, comfortable to come home to after a long day of sightseeing. Ashley was a great host and was good to communicate with.

Cozy Comfort

Simple and clean, comfortable place to reset after long days out. We appreciated the peace and calm since this home is away from the chaos of town. We enjoyed watching the birds in the backyard and geckos on back porch. There’s a symphony of frogs in the evenings to lull you to sleep. Suzy was immediately responsive when messaged. We stayed for 4 nights and had no issues.

Sunset Susie's was such a beautiful home and property, it made our stay so much fun, the yard was perfect for the kiddos to play, for the wifey and I to frolic, I would jog around the yard every morning, having a fire in the yard was so nice. The fruit trees, the area, the perfect location to go in all directions and see every single thing that was awesome that we could see, there's too much to see in this area, lol. Her house was so nice that we almost just wanted to hang out there and enjoy our stay in Hawaii, but we still got out every single day to explore. And this house is in the perfect location for serious exploration. Thank you Susie!!!!

Amazing place to stay

We stayed at Suzys house and really loved it.. Suzys house is on a one acre lot.. that is really secluded and private. We enjoyed the green geckos that we fed bannanas.. and the tropical birds that came to visit each day. The place is really green and grassy.. and surrounded by ferns and orchids. The house was perfect for our family. We came to see the volcano and it was in a perfect location for our big island vacation. I would recommend it to anyone.

Fine property for the price point.

Private location, convenient for travel to Mt. View and Keaau. Clean home with a well stocked kitchen. Lawn maintenance was ill-timed, they came to the house at 430-7pm. Home was very hot as there is no shade on the house.

Guava lava!

The home is very private. The home is surrounded by thick rainforest that capsulate the entire property. Theres many guava trees surrounding the home and all over the neighborhood. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking and comes with a blender and straining tools. I used strawberry guava from the yard to make guava lava(guava juice) The lizards on the back porch LOVE bananas and will actually swarm the whole porch for anything they find tasty. The owner put a valentine bouquet with tropical flowers/leaves on the porch and the lizards were camping in the pot and eating the big tropical leaves. Theres a bird feeder in the backyard that attracts probably 100 birds at a time. They swarm it like crazy, its great to watch. The inside of the home was very clean, spacious, and the AC in the master room is a big plus. If youre looking for creature comforts in a tropical paradise with fruit and wildlife right outside the door, stay at this place.

About the host

Hosted by Suzy stewart

Host profile image
Aloha My name is Sunset Suzy.
I built my house about 5 years ago.
I love my property it is quiet and secluded but yet close to all the best big island attractions.
I have made my house into a cozy comfortable place that I think anybody would love. It is really relaxing and an escape from reality.
I own a surf school on Oahus north shore. I have also been a lifeguard and taught thousands of tourists how to surf. So If your on oahu give me a call and we can go surfing.
My business is called Sunset Suzys Surf School.
Thanks for staying at my house.. and much aloha to you all. Have an awesome Hawaiian Holiday.

Why they chose this property

Super quiet and secluded.
Beautiful with wild orchids, ferns and tropical birds. Close to kiluea live volcano, and beautiful mountain peaks of mauna loa volcano. Also a quick drive to breathtaking ocean views and walks along the sea. The hot pools are a short drive as well as kapoho ponds with spectacular snorkeling where you can see all of Hawaiis most colorful reef fish, mantarays and moray eels.
Hilo is a quick 15 minute drive away. You feel like your in the country but are a close drive to all of the best things on the big island that you want to see!

What makes this property unique

My back porch is a relaxing place to view the green geckos that come around and want you to feed them bannanas. I have a huge acre lot that is all grassy and filled with fruit trees and guava trees. My lot is filled with all kinds of Hawaiian birds that are locals to my yard and love to come say hello to you while your having your coffee in the morning.
A real Hawaii jungle retreat.
The Home is centrally located for access to all Big Island attractions. I am 15 minutes to Hilo, 30 minutes to our live volcano, and 5 minutes to the ocean. Also Kapoho ponds where you will find the best snorkeling on the big island is just 20 min. away. The hot ponds are amazing and heated by our volcano. They are so warm and relaxing to swim in, and are a quick 25 minutes from my house.
My house feels like its in the country but is very close to all the best things you come to the big island to see! Relax at night to the sounds of the jungle, crickets coqui frogs and a quiet hush wind blowing through the trees. Wake up to my birds and green geckos to wish you a good day as you head up to the volcano or off to snorkel at the beach.
