You have so many choices of where to shop when you come to the Big Island but after walking into Sunset Traders you won’t need or want to shop anywhere else! From the minute you walk in you will be greeted by the kindest people! Terri & Carl were so friendly! They helped us find everything we needed without ever making us feel pressured to shop. They gave us our space but were nearby when we had questions. This store has everything! I wish I had taken more photos but I was just so excited bc who wants to waste time shopping at a bunch of different stores on vacation when they can find it all in one place? The variety ranged from the cute Christmas ornaments with Santa & turtles all the way to handmade, beautiful one of a kind jewelry. Sunset traders has items for every budget too! Stop in & grab a few postcards or buy a quality shirt that won’t fall apart after a few washes. We left with exactly what we needed, smilies on our faces & great advice on local beaches / restaurants that we should try out from Terri & Carl! They were the perfect example of Hawaiian hospitality & the Aloha Spirit! We not only enjoyed shopping in this great store but the view out the front door is beautiful! It is also conveniently located next door to shaved ice! So, shop, take photos of the ocean right outside the front door & then grab dessert! Mahalo to...
Read moreOMG! This place is awesome. They have such a great variety to choose from. The best thing is if they don't have your size and if it's possible to get it, they will. It's so refreshing nowadays that when someone says they will do something and they actually follow through with it. We were in Hawaii on vacation in March this year 2024. We went to their store and I found two shirts that I wanted but they didn't have my size. The person waiting on me said she would take down my name and number, and the owner would call me. Much to my surprise, they did call and said they would be ordering more shirts, and they would order the size I needed. They got one at first, and we decided to wait for the second one and to ship them both at the same time. They went above and beyond what most businesses are willing to do for their customers. I Love my new shirts. Every time I wear those shirts, they will remind me of the excellent service and friendship I received. I highly recommend stopping in their establishment to do some shopping. Tell them Rick in...
Read moreThere are so many places to shop when you’re shopping in Kailua Kona but you definitely want to shop Sunset Traders! So much to choose from!! Sizing from the smallest to the tallest! Tees, dresses, stickers, coffee and so so much more. We will definitely be back!!! Had the pleasure of meeting the owner and she’s super friendly and helpful!!! Can’t wait to put our new Christmas ornament on our Christmas tree this upcoming Christmas.
We had the opportunity to make it back to Kona and had the pleasure of shopping here multiple times this stay. We love the selection and the quality of materials. From the owner to everyone working with her - they’re all very knowledgeable and friendly.
As with any small business owner - in a vacation destination - dealing with everyone touching and not purchasing is anything but helpful. I imagine everyone has a bad day here or there - but if you’re an actual customer you’ll know that shopping here is quite an enjoyable experience.
Oh, and the fact that they have sizing up to 3x for my husband is...
