Now is THE time peeps! I have been enjoying the lower Puna area since 1989 and have seen this place grow in popularity (and population) over the years. My stay last weekend was the best combination of perfect! All the amenities and less of the crowd!! While it is always possible to find secluded spots along this coast even in high season, its sweet to go to the popular spots and enjoy the space like it was in the old days before everyone discovered 'Puna coast magic' And I loved Chewy's place - location, privacy , comfort, beauty and about as bug free as you can get in the jungle. Kinda amazing how bug free actually! I am not bothered by the harmless jungle critters of Hawaii and expect to get some up close and personal time with a few of these local babies when chilling in coastal Hawaii but Chewy's place was so tight that that did not happen for us on this trip. If you want to say hello to the bugs you will need to stay outside in the yard :)
