Joe’s place is a magnificent abode to connect to the natural beauty of Hawai’i. It has everything you need to feel comfortable and settled. The woodworking in the home is tasteful and adds a cozy touch to the whole place. I arrived last minute and the check in process was easy. Joe was super communicative and seems like a cool dude (based on his profile, books, and space he has curated ). If you don’t mind some friendly geckos, a few bugs, and social outdoor cats, this place is a no brainer. Also loved its proximity to black sand beaches, Hilo, and Volcano National Park. Enjoy yourself while on the magical and sacred Big Island. Aloha
