Policy regarding: Lako House ALL extended booking guests (>14nights)
For extended duration bookings that utilize any sort of VERY LARGE discounted stay rate (such as a monthly rate or heavily discounted rates > 30%), there are potentially three extra excess-use charges levied that guests must acknowledge and agree to. To avoid such extra charges, please do practice water & electricity conservation whenever possible and prior to check out, please do return the house to its original organized and clean state.
a) Water Usage: Initial water allocation is 7500-gallons per month (average 250gal/day ~10-15 showers/day).
b) Electricity Usage: Initial electricity allocation is 1200kWh per month (~average 40kWh/day); note that typical Lako House usage is 1000kWh/month.
c) Cleaning: While the standard short term stay / low persons count departure cleaning fee initially charged via vacation rental booking portals (such as VRBO/Airbnb/OwnerDirect) is $450, there will be extra cleaning charges @ $60/hour if the house is left in a particular dirty / messy state.
The above discussion is to make guests aware of the very expensive utility and labor costs on all Hawaii’s islands and of course, our expectations for not leaving the house in a messy / dirty state … If there are any questions or concerns about the above, please do reach out to Lako House to discuss anytime.
If you have any questions or concerns about any of the topics above, please contact us any time.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Lako House. The views of the ocean and sunsets were spectacular. House was very clean and spacious, great kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals. And the pool and hot tub were great. Bill is an awesome host, very responsive!

Ironman holiday. Bill was a great host, easy to join if necessary. Always ready to reapond to our needs.
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.

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.
