This airbnb is an excellent getaway spot. it's quiet, secluded, very clean, and Christopher and Cole are more than willing to answer questions about the area. If you stay here, you won't be disappointed at all. Walking down to the cliffs to watch the sunrise over the ocean is an amazing experience. There is a nice little kitchenette with an electric skillet, microwave, and coffee maker. I recommend getting groceries and cooking some things yourself.
You will NEED a rental car. It's a 25 minute drive to Hilo (without traffic - I found out that it's not a great idea to try to get to Hilo at 7:45 AM), and about 15 or 20 to Pahoa.
Pahoa is the closest place for restaurants and a grocery store. I believe there is some form of public commuter transit that runs a few times a day, but you're almost 4 miles from a main road. If you're expecting to eat out every meal plan on a lot of driving.
