Staying at Joe's place was pure magic. Loved falling asleep in that little greenhouse of a room to the tree frogs singing, and watching the geckos move around outside. It looks exactly like the pictures. The neighborhood is really peaceful, and an easy walk from a clothing-optional black sand beach. It is about a 30 minute drive to Pahoa and the amenities there, but good roads and worth the visit.
Overall, this place was perfect, I would definitely stay there again if I'm ever back on the big Island
