Joe & Cindy’s place is BEAUTIFUL. SO PERFECT for our weekend getaway after my week of corporate meetings. A few tips if you’re considering booking:
1) Don’t let the outdoor bathroom/lack of AC unit scare you away! The bathroom is not as rustic as it seems (4 bamboo walls, warm water, flushing toilet, beautiful sink, rain shower head, soap/shampoo dispensers) and is quite large. It really lends a beautiful, spa-like atmosphere to the stay. It’s quite temperate on this side of the island, so we were comfortable without AC day and night!
2) They’re not kidding about the waves! I’m a water baby and love being in/near the ocean but the waves can get QUITE loud. If you need quiet for anything during the stay, consider bringing ear plugs or noise canceling headphones!
3) The space is well-equipped with everything you’d need for a short stay — apartment size fridge, plates, cups, utensils, Brita pitcher, Kuerig. If you need it, they prob already have it!
4) Joe and Cindy are EXCELLENT hosts and their message response rate is unmatched! (Less than 30 mins!)
5) They offer other services (rental cars, tours, etc.). Definitely check in with them prior to your stay if interested in other amenities!
Looking forward to our next trip to Pahoa!
