Joe's place is a bit off the beaten path but so worth the stay. You are surrounded by nature and nature hits you in all of your senses. At night you can hear the frogs crocking and wake up to roosters. Do note you are in more of a jungle environment here so be prepared to get bitten by mosquitos. However, Joe had mosquito repellent available at the house and mosquito net doors at each door. Having a kitchen is a bonus at Joe's place because it is decently far away from any restaurants. He had all of the cooking necessities we needed and we even made a delicious guacamole with the avocados from his garden. The mermaid ponds down the street from Joe's house was one of the highlights of our trips. We brought some beers down there and had the mermaid ponds to ourselves it was so nice! Staying at Joe's is a very unique and relaxing experience, highly recommend for anyone wanting to enjoy nature. Joe also has a very cute and friendly dog named Brando who we absolutely fell in love with.
