This location is definitely not the typical Hawai'i resort stay, Joe's property offers a completely unique experience. The drive out to his secluded property is wonderful, and the home was exactly as described. It offered a decent location for exploring the East side of the island and Volcano National Park. It's perfectly located for you to visit Uncle Robert's night market (an absolute must if you are in the area on a Wednesday night) as it'd be a long drive home in the dark from there if you're were staying on the West side. A few things to be mindful of: There aren't any golden sand beaches on the East side. It's a 35 minute drive to Hilo, 18 to Pahoa, so purchase groceries accordingly. Yes, Joe is off the grid, you will have to be OK without A/C and limiting power usage. Wi-Fi is weak in the guest house, but over by the main house it's perfectly fine. Brando is an adorable good doggo, 13 outta 10, would pet again. Embrace your inner Aloha and live like a Puna local!
