Great Hilo Getaway
We had a fantastic stay at Bev’s place in Hilo. The condo was very well appointed, with all of the necessities and more. The Lanai was lovely and the bed was very comfortable to sleep in. The location was good and was a short walk from the boiling pots. I would book again and highly recommend this place for anyone. We stayed there with our 5 month old son and Bev even provided a lovely pack and play crib for us. Very impressed.

Perfect stay
Great house in a great location. Bev was the perfect host. We thoroughly enjoyed the residence. The kitchen was well appointed with lots of little extras. Sunrise from the lanai was amazing. Less than 10 minutes from downtown. There is no air conditioning, but it was not needed. Only had 1 trivial issue while we were there and it was resolved quickly. Would highly recommend.

Host was away but did a great job keeping in touch. A super clean and abundantly outfitted detached private unit. Husband was grateful earplugs were provided as the nightly chorus of coqui sounds were quite loud! Convenient location for touring and close to restaurants in Hilo.

Nice quiet neighborhood with view towards ocean
Very well organized, well stocked, and clean freestanding dwelling with deck. If you are sensitive to synthetic scents, like me, you will want to bring your own soap, shampoo & conditioner, and laundry soap. That was the only minus for me because I forgot to pack conditioner and laundry soap.

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.

Bev has a great property. She has everything you could need from spare toothbrushes to beach towels and plenty of hangers. The place was super clean and Bev was very helpful throughout. The location is a short drive to downtown and the beach. It’s super close to a couple waterfalls and has a great view of the ocean. I highly recommend it.

This has been the best vacation rental we have stayed in. Very clean, more than well stocked and maintained. Our host Bev was delightful and the location was just right, easy to go in any direction to see the sites. This was away from the hustle and got cool in evening for sleeping. We would highly recommended this unit for a stay in Hilo.

Hilo Vacation
Bev's rental was lovely. It was perfectly clean, spacious and was fully set up with everything we needed. Although we only communicated with Bev via text and email, she was a gracious and very responsive host. She quickly answered any questions we had and made recommendations. We will stay here again when we visit Hilo.

Tehe refrigerator fiasco
So I don't usually leave reviews, but I had to tell everybody about how wonderfully bev and her property manager Kim took care of us in a time that could have turned out much worse. First of all, my very first day i ended up locking myself outside on accident and couldn't remember the lock combination and my phone was inside the house with the combination written down. Luckily my partner had their phone and we were able to call vrbo who got us in touch with Kim right away, and we were able to get back in within minutes! Later that day we both got what we think was food poisoning, but we didn't figure out until the next morning that all of our food was going bad because the refrigerator wasn't actually working! I again contacted Kim, and a few minutes later got a call from the property owner Bev, who herself was out of town on a trip but took the time to call me several times throughout pur stay. She immediately dispatched a crew from Sears to come and look at the refrigerator, which unfortunately was not reparable during out stay as they had to order a new part for it. Bev made sure that we got a couple of ice chests from her place that we used throughout the week as a makeshift refrigerator, she paid for all of our ice expenditures, and also paid for our loss of groceries from the first couple of nights of good going bad. Then to top it all off she called in a gift certificate to a really nice restaurant in Hilo called Cafe Pesto just out of her own goodness!

Great Location
Loved the location of this property and would recommend to others seeking a central location on the big island. Porch (Lanai) has chairs overlooking Hilo. Short drive from rainbow falls and downtown Hilo. The property manager Beverly lives next door and is super friendly/ helpful should you need anything. Full kitchen, bed, and pull out couch bed all exist in the house.

Always Feels Like Home
We’ve stayed at Bev’s several times over the years. It’s the first place we try and book when visiting the Hilo area. The lodge is private with all the essentials needed for a visit. The washer/dryer is super handy to have. The view from the covered lanai is gorgeous. Sunrises over the ocean are fantastic. The lodge has easy parking and is a short distance from downtown. We always feel like we live in Hilo instead of just visiting because of the homeyness of the lodge. Bev lives in a completely separate residence next door. She’s available if you need anything, but, otherwise, you have complete privacy. The lodging was immaculate when we arrived. We hope to book the lodge again when next we visit Hilo!

Best-equipped vacation rental ever
Lopaka's Family Lodge is located in a quiet, convenient Hilo neighborhood, with a delightful view of the port from its lanai. It is so comfortable and well-equipped that I wish every vacation rental we stay in could equal it. The kitchen, which we used fully, comes with a complete knife block, 4-slot toaster, full range, microwave, electric grill pan, and almost anything else one could possibly imagine using. The spacious bedroom has the pleasant surprise of a roomy walk-in closet with bench. The bathroom includes a stock of sunscreen, medical lotions, and a sewing kit. The thoughtfulness of the host is evident everywhere. This is a great base from which to enjoy Hilo.
