The house was perfect and accommodated our family of 11 of varying ages. The view was incredible, pool refreshing and kitchen well stocked! Near a lot of great restaurants and markets and the beds were very comfortable.

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! We would definitely return to this house if/when we return to the Big Island!

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.

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!
