Kathy, Wa'aWa'a is magical. You may not know that travel times & traffic do increase when the school bus is in the area.
For travel into Hilo, I know there are some residents that bike over to the bus stops in Hawaiian Beaches & for $1 they put the bike on the rack & ride into Hilo (free if you don't take the bike)
There are solar hot tub packages, Real Goods (fairly pricey catalog) has this, maybe there is a kit on island that is more reasonable. http://www.gaiam.com/retail/product/45-000
HPP, closer to the water, is also drier than the upper portions, generally - depending on the lot...but is not as secluded as Wa'a Wa'a
