Joe’s place was a unique and wonderful spot for 2 nights and we really enjoyed our time in the jungle. Joe (and his trusty pup Brando) were incredibly welcoming and helpful with suggestions for the area (including restaurants, sites, and a great short hike to the secluded Mermaid pools, walking distance from the property).
He went above and beyond as we arrived with fresh grapefruit juice and soursop in the fridge, plus some fresh eggs from the chicken coop (they were delicious). He was respectful about letting us have our privacy, but also very willing to share more about his off the grid property and all of the different types of fruits and veggies he has been farming.
He was an incredibly responsive host and we would highly recommend this spot to others who are looking for an experience off the beaten path!
