Joe's farm house was absolutely perfect! The location felt very secluded and private, but was conveniently located near black sand beaches, the Farmer's market, and the launch for the lava tour. When we first arrived he made sure we were settled in and was always available for anything we needed. The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet and everyone we encountered was friendly. The tub on the lanai was perfect for relaxing after a long day at the beach and the kitchen had everything you would need if you planned to cook while you were there. There were lots of lizards, but we didn't encounter any bugs. The next time I go to the Big Island I will definitely be staying with Joe again.
