100% jungle vibes :-) Joe and his dog Brando were very kind and we had a really good time at their little paradise. The house is in the middle of a forest but close to the sea. We didn’t missed a thing and loved the silent out there. The little town Pahoa is about 20min to drive and Hilo (next bigger town) is about 45min to drive.. rental car is a must ;-) all in all a really great place to stay!
