Jimmy, we rented for 1/2 a year in HPP. We were near the ocean. There was a great neighborhood. If we didn't commute into Hilo daily, I would have bought there. There is one thing to note, anything close to the ocean gets salt spray, and this will affect everything metal (even your computers, TVs & such). The house we were renting needed a lot more routine work, window cleaning, replacing screens & such. Although we loved living in HPP, I was commuting into Hilo daily & decided that it was better to live close to the bus.
We now live a couple of miles from the ocean (can see it in the distance) & we noticed the year old door handles on the side of the house toward the ocean are showing a little salt corrosion.
