Everything was very clean. Host was a super communicator. Even paid a little extra to have the air conditioning in the one unit which was worth it for our daughter who has autism. Overall great Stay would highly recommend!

Lako house was perfect for our family of 9 that traveled to the big island. After a long day of exploring, it was great to relax in the pool and the hot tub. We cooked several meals while on the island and the kitchen was stocked with all essentials which made our trip even better. There are plenty of bathrooms and showers/tubs, which also helped with our family. The property is located about 10-20 minutes away from most of the shops and restaurants on the island, and only about 30-40 away from some of the fine dining spots we went to. Bill and Anna were such good hosts and so easy to communicate with, we were on the island during the tsunami and they were both quick to respond and caring for our situation. Mahalo!

SPECTACULAR rental. This place really is paradise and Bill was the easiest owner we have ever dealt with. The house is in a lovely quiet subdivision, with views of the ocean that are breath taking. The house has everything you could want, lots of beds, CLEAN EVERTHING, plenty of towels, washer ,dryer , suitcase stands, beach toys, beach chairs, fans , chairs to sit and lounge chairs by the pool. The kitchen was a chef's dream! Tons of space both in the house and on the lanai. lots of parking .There are so many adventures close to this house... snorkeling at Captain Cook, black and green sand beach, coffee and vanilla bean farm tours etc. The house is an oasis from activites. Truly the best of both worlds for us. We spent every morning on the lanai having coffee watching the fishing boats go out , listening to the waterfall on the pool. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub, especially at night . The sunsets from this place could fill a calendar. Thank you to Bill for sharing your home. Thank you for answering all our requests and questions . Thank you for you open communication, you have no idea how helpful this is to travellers!

Our family enjoyed our stay at the Lako house! The view is absolutely beautiful! We spent most nights by the pool/jacuzzi looking at the ocean view. There was plenty of room for our family to spread out. The kitchen was fully stocked with every appliance we needed. The house manager was always very quick answer any question that may have come up. We very much enjoyed our week on the Big Island staying at the Lako House! We would book here again!

We had a great stay at Lako House! What a beautiful home and surroundings…especially the POOL! We travelled with three generations- our children and spouses and our four grandchildren- ages 3, 5, 7, and 9. The space was perfect! Whenever we were ‘home’, the meticulously maintained pool and hot tub were in full use! The BBQ was in a great location, and provided the opportunity to keep the heat out of the house. Lako House was the best stocked VRBO we have encountered…from shampoo and conditioner to seemingly never-ending paper towels. Bill was great with communication and answering any questions we had. Overall, our vacation was perfect!

Very large house with all the amenities you can need. We were a group of 7 adults and 4 kids. Great view from the pool.

This home is great for large gatherings. The kitchen was very well stocked with cutlery, plates, bowls, pots/pans. There was plenty of sleeping space for our group. The pool was beautiful and the view of sunsets spectacular. We suffered at times from the lack of AC and it would be the perfect home if it had it, but we still enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

My family of 3 and my cousins family of 4 stayed at Lako house for 9 nights. It was the perfect choice for us. Located in a quiet neighborhood with an amazing view of the Ocean. The house is VERY well stocked with anything you may need for preparing and serving food. It was clean when we arrived and check in was very easy. The host was just as amazing as the property. Incredibly quick to reply to any questions we had and has obviously spent a lot of time at the property to make sure everything is in order and easy to understand. We have already agreed if we ever go back to Kona this is where we will stay.

We loved our stay at the beautiful Lako House. The house was exactly as listed, and the views were better than we expected! Bill was a great property host and easy to communicate with, giving us great recommendations for things to do and places to eat!

Overall great spot. Would be good for a couple small families all willing to stay in the same room. House is dated and has a complete floor to ceiling mirrored powered room (on all walls! - wild!) lol and could use some general upgrades to the finishes in this price point. Three improvements that would go a long way at minimal cost would be an a/c in the master, high speed internet (it is only 7 mg so no way to do a work meeting), and the pool towels were so worn and thread bare they were non absorbent and only one per person for the whole week. The kitchen was stocked with about every appliance you will need and a large dining table inside in out that we used for eating and playing games, large open living areas and the view is breathtaking! Host was great about communicating.

We had 15 people in the house for a five night stay. Everything was wonderful. Plenty of bathrooms, towels, bedding, kitchenware, pool toys, and other things we didn't even know we needed. Bill, the host, was SUPER responsive with any questions or issues, always replying quickly night or day by email, text, and phone. He even helped us coordinate accommodations for two extra guests in a venue nearby. The pool and hot tub were fun for the kids and nice place for the adults to relax after full days of sightseeing and excursions. Everyone had a great time! Nothing bad to say!

We enjoyed the private pool, hot tub, and home. We love Hawaii and this was our favorite trip. The location is great and the host was available to help with any questions or concerns. We had a great time with a large family. If you want a place set up for a large group that is close enough to the beach, but so comfortable that you might want to just hang out by the pool all day, this is a good choice.
December 2023
We loved our stay at Lako house. The location is great. Even though it is in a neighborhood, it is very private with spectacular views. The house rules were pretty common sense and aligned with how I treat my own home. Large kitchen and dining table were great for a family. A special treat, was the decorated Christmas Tree. Such a nice, unexpected touch. Communication with the owner was very nice. Caring, but not intrusive. I would not hesitate to book this home again. We had a great time. Mahalo, Bill.

Process was very easy. Bill was available for texts and responded promptly to all inquiries. Overall an excellent place to stay. A couple of very minor issues. One was the waterfall hours. It would be nice if it came on for a couple of hours in the evening. Another was there were some dirty dishes put away in the cabinets. I suspect the previous guests did not wash them before putting them away. Location was perfect. Great central location to explore the island. And views of the sunset were a 10. I would definitely stay here again.

We were visiting Kona with our entire family (15 of us, ranging in age from 2 to 67)! This home was perfect for us. It was clean, well-stocked, had plenty of parking for all four vehicles, and within close proximity to shopping and restaurants. The pool was a huge hit with the kids!

We had a great time at the Lako house. This place can sleep up to 16 people! We were only 6 and had lots of space. We spent a lot of time in the back by the pool. The view was amazing and the place was a pretty short drive to town

First and foremost Bill was a great host, he was on point no matter what, which was not much. The house was exceptionally well kept, everything that we needed was there down to a bottle of peroxide. Now the view that the house is set up on will knock you off your feet. In all I have already recommended this property to my friends who are looking to travel to Kona. Thank you Bill

We couldn’t have have asked for a better place to stay! The property exceeded our expectations, very well maintained, clean and had all the comforts of home. Location was short drive from all the activities we had planned on Ali Dr and close to the local grocery stores to stores to stick the fridge. Bill was attentive and offered his services 24/7. I would highly recommend!

Perfect home for a family getaway on the big island. Close to all the Kailua Kona attractions but nestled in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view of the ocean and the stunning nightly sunsets. Rooms are spacious with plenty of beds and washrooms. Kitchen and dining room were perfect for family dinners. The kids and adults alike enjoyed the pool, hot tub and lanai. Well worth the investment if you’ve gathering with family on the sunny coast of the Big Island!

Don’t let the list of rules scare you!! The property has EVERYTHING you need to enjoy the Big Island! Location is great and the views are unbelievable!! We had our family of 12 and had so many hidden surprises…. Such as pool and beach supplies! Easy to plan outings. Bill is available for any questions and quick with responses! Would definitely stay again!

This was our Girl Scout grand finale trip. Nine teens and four chaperones absolutely fell in love with Lako House. The welcoming rooms, sweeping views and convenient location close to everything we had planned was the perfect home base for our 10 day trip. Girls and adults loved the pool, hot tub and well appointed kitchen (it has EVERYTHING for preparing meals for large groups!).
A little snafu with a malfunction door lock, only worked to show us how attentive our host Bill was, and his property manager who stopped by to check it and provide additional towels. Bill was communicating daily, keeping us updated on progress in getting lock repaired, and making certain everything else was perfect. Bill is also an awesome source of information on all the great places to visit locally 😁
Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place for our group, already looking at dates to return and bring the family

The experience of staying at Lako House made our Hawaii trip unforgettable! First and foremost, the ocean view and the sunset view from Lake house is unbeatable! We would wake up in the morning sipping coffee on the patio facing the ocean, and end our day by watching sunset while kids play in the pool, then dipped into the jacuzzi! The house is nicely located in a neighborhood area, close to beach, all major stoppings & restaurants. This was perfect for our group, we wanted the convenience of getting around yet avoid the tourist crowd. The Lako house is very spacious, there are many beds, sofa beds, and pull out beds around for a large group. Finally, Bill is an amazing host. He was easy going and had very clear communication style, from the time of booking all the way through our stay, he is available whenever we had questions. Thank you again Bill for making our stay so enjoyable. Definitely will return!
