Joe’s place was great. Secluded, quiet, clean, and the view from the lanai was perfect (I took so many naps out there, it’s truly paradise). The bed was really comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked with utensils, spices, and pretty much everything you’d need to cook a meal. It is far from both Hilo and Kona (about 1h 45m to either city), so you need to stock up on food, but being that far from the tourist hot-spots has so many perks. The black sand beach was literally a 5 minute walk down the road and is absolutely beautiful. Parking and checking-in were no issue. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for peace and quiet while on vacation.
