Perfect home base to explore the big island

Clean and comfortable Ohana in a nice neighborhood overlocking Hilo. Ridiculously close to the Boiling Pots with Rainbow Falls and Kaumana Caves in close proximity. Bev is a gracious host if needed. We explored the north, east and south sides of the island from here. Location is far from any flight path going into or out of ITO (Hilo International Airport. We ate out for the most part (I think I gained a few pounds each day), but there’s a rice cooker in the cabinet if needed.

The VERY BEST vacation rental EVER

This has to be the most well-appointed vacation rental we’ve ever had the pleasure to stay in. We were in Hilo for family reasons and the blessing of being able to return to the respite of this home, the stunning lanai, and the graciousness of the most wonderful host cannot be overstated. Thank you, Bev, for everything - especially for letting us know we weren’t about to die when the towns sirens went off for their once-a-month test LOL and checking in on us after the earthquake. It was an eventful 2 weeks and we’re so grateful to have had the peace of Lopaka’s Family Lodge to come “home” to.

About the host

Hosted by Beverly Moodie

Aloha,
I was born in Hawaii and have a large extended family here. However, I was raised in California, but returned to Hawaii when Bob and I retired.

Why they chose this property

Lopaka's Family Lodge was originally built to accomodate family and friends. It was named in memory of my late husband, Bob (Lopaka is the Hawaiian name for Robert).
It is such a lovely setting though that it seemed sad to leave it unoccupied when friends and family weren't visiting. That's when I got the idea to offer it as a vacation rental so it can be enjoyed by others.

What makes this property unique

This has been a joyful experience for me. I've met so many wonderful people from all over the world and my life has been enriched by getting to know them. Some have returned several times and I count them amongst those I call "friends & family".
