This place is truly magical and it starts with the dramatic drive through the jungle to the private property. As advertised, you’re living off the grid, so it’s basically glamping in paradise with thoughtful amenities that make it enjoyable and comfortable. We loved every second as we leaned into sustainable simplicity embracing the Puna lifestyle (and snagging some Instagrammable photos along the way). The frogs sung us to sleep every night, the ocean breezes kept us cool, we saw bright stars from the lanai, and we feasted on tropical fruit from the farm. Joe made wonderful suggestions for our itinerary including the Mermaid Ponds and Maku’u Farmers Market. He, Petra, and Brando were so welcoming and hospitable. We hope to return to this special place!
