A perfect Hawaii retreat

I am so lucky and happy that I found Garry and Susan's cottage listing. This wonderful place is so private and comfortable and had everything I needed. The screened-in lanai is huge and the perfect place to relax after some wonderful shore dives or exploring the nearby beaches (Pebble, Place of Refuge/Honaunau bay aka "Two Steps"). Garry and Susan are wonderful hosts and I felt so welcome. The cottage is big and airy and has everything you need for a relaxing retreat from "the real world". There were some down pours and it was so fun to sit in the sheltered lanai and enjoy a cocktail while listening to the rain. Garry is a great dive master..... so capable and experienced and caring....I can't believe all he does to help his guests dive and snorkel as part of their stay at the Sugar Cottage! Such a big heart, gentle spirit and so conscientious and caring! I visited Hawaii to get back into scuba diving and I had never been shore diving and I was excited to try it out. The water conditions weren't ideal as there was a tropical storm passing by the island during my stay, but Garry knew exactly the right places to go to maximize my chances to get in the water.... we dove Miloli'i the first day (amazing topography and fish) and then Two Steps (wonderful coral and many fish, some turtles, even 3 black tip reef sharks) the next two days. A private dive guide who knows all the best places to explore on each dive because he has dove these places for years! I was in heaven and I can't wait until I can get back to visit and dive with Garry again. I highly recommend a stay at Garry and Susan's cottage, whether you are a diver or not..... it's a great getaway and home base to explore the area south of Kailua-Kona. Coffee country.... its such a beautiful area... I was even able to buy some 100% Kona coffee that had just been picked and roasted.... from a neighbor two blocks away..... smelled so good in my carry on all the way home! Thank you again, Garry, for the amazing diving. I hope to visit again! Smiles, Donna

Fantastic location for visiting the island.

Enjoyed the home which was off the beaten path but not so remote that we felt uncomfortable. The location made visits to the north and south very convenient. We drove 1400 miles in 8 days all around the island. The jungle noises were awesome and relaxing.

Garry was very nice and made us feel at home. He had some equipment that we used for snorkeling.

We would come back there again. Thanks for the nice place to relax.

Great place to rest and recharge, in the Hawaiian forest! Away from hustle and bustle of Kona et al.. Loved the place - and the lanai!! Diving with Gary was a real treat - its rare that we have the opportunity to do such long dives day in, day out.. especially on such great dive sites, halfway between Kona and the volcano, which made it easy to explore south of the island.

Thanks a ton Gary and Susan for the stay - we d return in a heartbeat!!

Great place to stay!

Loved staying here with my husband and daughter. We were comfortable and had everything we needed. Gary took us to Two Step. While he scuba dived with my husband, my daughter and I had the best snorkeling experience and during their 2nd dive, we visited the National Park right next to it. Ask for the activity book- my daughter got a badge and patch for completing 4 pages making the Park fun for her.
