Joe obviously put a lot of love into the details of this home. The surrounding landscape is lush jungle. I have stayed in many different homes in Hawaii over the years, and this was my favorite by far. You can find a house with fancier amenities, I'm sure. But for pure uniqueness, you won't find another home like this. I stayed with my teenage daughter and she agreed. Joe was a great host, and the house is very close to the warm ponds, Uncle Roberts, Kalani retreat, Kehana beach, and the current lava flow as of 7/31/16. There are plenty of forgettable house on VRBO, but this is one is very memorable. Loved it!
