I used to live just down the road in Discovery Harbour (Naalehu). It's really far from everything; shopping, events, nightlife.
Whenever I made a run into Hilo or Kona, I would have 16 or more stops/errands, just to make the trip worthwhile.
The area has great weather; more rain than Kona, less than Hilo. There weren't any coquis when I was there in 2007-8.
The VOG was a problem; if you have breathing issues, don't consider that area. And my jewelry and tools oxidized very quickly there; items wrapped in plastic were fine, others got kinda crusty.
