What a fun and unique place to stay.
Joe is a GREAT communicator and his place is clean & fun to explore. You could spend 1/2 a day, easy, exploring his home and the surrounding neighborhood, ranging from a castle to huts. It’s a super “earthy” small, but friendly town. The area is off the beaten track and roughly 20-25 min to food areas.
Pāhoa was where we chose to stay to visit the Volcano Park, but it turns out it’s about an hour away, due to the back roads to get to this home. Don’t let that deter you though, we ended up having a great time visiting a local fruit farm and doing a jungle hike to Tidepools.
If you’re looking for a place you’ll photograph/video and have lots of stories to tell your friends about, this is it! If you’re looking for creature comforts, such as AC or quiet, look elsewhere! The frogs, chickens, birds etc are loud. We did not mind any of that, adventure abounds!
Joe is great! Super friendly and accommodating.
