My wife and I had a great time at the cottage! It was such a unique experience and Joe was a great host. It’ll go down as one of our favorite Airbnbs and something we’ll remember for a long, long time.
We quickly got used to the singing frogs that come out at night and other reviews had warned about. Also, despite the cottage being in such a humid climate, Joe keeps the place spotless and comfortable.
The one thing to be aware of is the long drive times to things that look close on a map. Despite being right in the middle of lots to do on that corner of the island, the roads are slow going, so plan that into your schedule. Not to worry though, those slow winding roads are gorgeous and even include one road that traverses right over the brand new lava flow from the 2018 eruption.
