I stayed in a rental in Waa Waa,on solar. Loved the area,I too think it is a magical place and just so beautiful. But I like my creature comforts now as I get older. I used to live in Orchidland and while it rained more I never had a problem with thieves even when we were building and not staying there overnight. I had some nice neighbors who offered advice when I needed it but respected my privacy. I would have no problems being in Orchidland again but then I will have to commute and Waa Waa would be a trek everyday to Hilo.I guess you have to go where it feels right for you
