We enjoyed our rural, off-grid experience (mostly.) We had our best hot water showers in Hawaii, and we stayed in three different places. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean. You can see the stars. If you want to experience rural Hawaii, be prepared. 1) Keep all food locked away so as not to attract ants and even rats (keyword rural so it's unreasonable to expect anything else.) 2) When eating, keep it away from sleeping areas. Don't brush salty fingers off on your clothes because it may attract ants into your suitcase. 3) Power usage. This unit shares solar power with one other unit. If THEY are not responsible with their usage, YOU will be using a flashlight and have no ceiling fans to cool you off at night. 4) Be responsible. This means leave your laptops home or charge them in your vehicle. Unplug what you don't use and make sure everything is off when you leave to explore the beautiful island. The only thing you need running when you are out is the mini fridge. There are appliances but use them sparingly. Learn to use a French press for your coffee and the propane stove for cooking. 5) Expect roosters to crow and welcome the geckos in to control the ant population. They live there full time, you don't. We didn't mind roosters, chickens, or geckos. Be prepared, be realistic, be responsible, and you will have a wonderful time. Otherwise, head over to a luxury hotel and pay their prices.
