Due to the limitations of the VRBO pricing tool, if you are a small group (<8 persons), please first submit your inquiry and we will adjust such fees via a revised quote.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.

For bookings that are deemed highly discounted or long term, Lako House will publish actual water & usage data weekly to the guest (by text and/or e-mail) whenever average usage exceeds 60% of allocation.

a) Water Usage: Initial water allocation is 7500-gallons per month (average 250gal/day ~10-15 showers/day). If actual water usage exceeds this amount over the days stayed, there is a $2.50 charge for each subsequent 250-gallons amount of water used.

b) Electricity Usage: Initial electricity allocation is 1200kWh per month (~average 40kWh/day); note that typical Lako House usage is 1000kWh/month. If actual electricity usage exceeds this amount over the total days stayed, there is a $4.00 charge for each subsequent 10kWh amount of electric used.

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. EXAMPLE: To avoid extra cleaning charges, be sure that all kitchen items, all furniture & household items are returned to their proper places, all kitchen items are put away / kitchen areas are clean, counters cleaned, fridge cleaned, floors swept, pool and lanai items are put away, BBQ has been cleaned (if used) and all USED sheets, pillowcases and towels are put in two separate piles in the Main House inside entryway.

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. In our 23-years of being in business with Lako House, problems with such issues mentioned above have rarely happened because guests are very understanding and respectful when staying at Lako House.

If you have any questions or concerns about any of the topics above, please contact us any time.

Fantastic venue!
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!

Great place for a family to stay!
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.

Home away from home.
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.

Lako house
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.

About the host

Hosted by Lako House Staff

Host profile image
We've traveled around the world quite a lot and find that Hawaii is a natural mid-point between the USA and Asia (another frequent destination of ours).

Lako House has groups coming from North America, Europe and Asia.

Why they chose this property

The Big Island has it all! It has the most diversity of the Hawaiian island climates, the most diversity of people and food and, the most amazing range of possible activities!

Of all the Hawaiian islands (Big Island included), Kona has the best weather, least rainfall, and also offers a quieter, less populated and more relaxed atmosphere.

Lako House is a very spacious place even for very large groups. It has amazing ocean views from the backyard pool/jacuzzi area and is in a quiet residential area. In addition, Kona has very little rain and Lako House's location (@ 300ft elevation) has much less heat & humidity (and traffic!) than right at the beach (but we're still just 5 minutes away).
