This house was amazing! Kid friendly and the house provided toys and everything you need for the beach! I fail at finding words to express how amazing it was!!!

Lako House was a wonderful stay. There are PLENTY of beds and places to sleep for big families or multiple families! Having the pool right there was totally worth the extra cost compared to other options. The location, view, and grounds are amazing. Sunset from the pool deck is unbeatable! Plenty of extra linens, towels, and amenities for kids like pool toys, a high chair, pack n play, etc. are available. Bill was super responsive and a great host.

HIGHLY recommend this Airbnb! So many positive things to say. First off the view of the ocean and location of the Airbnb is absolutely amazing! You have an unobstructed 180 view of the coastline that is just perfect for sunrises and sunsets. The communication with the host is excellent. The extra touches such as all the beach equipment, kitchen supplies, beach towels, local recommendations etc were so helpful. We also used the high chair for our daughter which was so helpful! We were all very comfortable and felt safe at this Airbnb. When booking I was wondering what it would feel like with no AC, but you really do not need it with the weather in Kona- plus this Airbnb comes with plenty of fans to use if desired. If you are reading this- you should book the Airbnb. You will not be disappointed!

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!

Exceptionally clean, quiet, peaceful and well-maintained property! Perfect getaway ! Absolutely would recommend!

Beautiful views. Property manager super nice and very helpful; always available. Perfect location! Beautiful view.

Bill was always available to answer any questions and a great host. He made the experience easy and stress free. I can't say enough about Lako House. Perfect location with plenty to do. The view hands down was worth everything. 5 stars is not enough.

Great host. Very helpful , enjoyed the place, no issues

Everything was great.

A great place to stay - especially for a large family get-together. The views looking out beyond the pool into the ocean are stunning - especially for sunsets. The house was spacious (for our group of 14), very well-stocked, very well located. Bill was a gracious host and was very prompt and communicative throughout the booking process as well as our stay. Would love to return. We had a great time at your place and it made our family get together really enjoyable and memorable. Sorry for the miscommunication on the first day and please apologize to your cleaning staff (they were very professional about it) Thanks once again!

Lako House was absolutely gorgeous just like the pictures! It was centrally located to all we wanted to do on the Big Island and had every amenity you could possibly want or need (including yoga mats and snorkel masks). Bill was an excellent and very responsive host. Prior to staying he provided great advice about the property and the island and during our stay he responded immediately when we had a question. I highly recommend this property and host. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your gorgeous home! We had a wonderful time and will definitely plan to stay again the next time we go back to the Big Island.

… Received much needed rest…

Large rooms and several bathrooms made this home perfect for our group of 6 adults and 3 kids (14yo) (12yo) (10yo). The pool was smaller than what the pictures portrayed but was still perfect for all of us to enjoy. The views were AMAZING. Sunset view every night. I will say, the only downfall to this place was no air conditioning (which I hear is normal) and most of the beds were not very comfortable. Not an issue for kids sleeping on them but adults is a different story. The host was very east to get a hold of and gave us information on restaurants and the town goings on. (4th of July info.) The kitchen was fully stocked with anything needed.

The property has an amazing view of the ocean. The pool and jacuzzi are ideal for adults and kids that want to relax after a whole day driving throughout the island. The house has all the things that are needed to spend quality time with friends and family. Bill (owner) was always available for questions or requests. We had an amazing time! Thanks

Close to shopping and restaurants and a great base for jumping off on day trips. Pool was perfect for lazy afternoons. Bill was responsive and helpful. We were nervous about the sleeping arrangements as one room had a number of beds, but the room was very large and everyone felt like they had their own space. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Awesome stay. Thank You!

This magical place has a responsive and clear communicator that gets you to your destination and helps your adventure be smooth! Thanks again for allowing a group of kids to stay at your place. You are an efficient and kind communicator. Aloha!

We felt very comfortable at the Lako House. After staying at a few other homes in the Kona area for a couple weeks, we saved the best house for last / and had a blast swimming in the pool, and enjoying the incredible views from the lanai.

The patio/pool area overlooking the ocean view is something special and makes every morning and every sunset absolute perfection. Our family was celebrating my dads 70th birthday and after months of delay because of this covid year, Bill’s home made this celebration so much more special for my family, specifically my dad. It’s close to every thing you want to do, 5 minutes from Kona downtown, beautiful neighborhood to walk around, stores are close, highway is close, everything was excellent! We hope to return in the fall .. Communication was also excellent and appreciated! Amazing home. It was perfect for our group. I don’t think I mentioned before, but this trip was for my dad’s 70th birthday (delayed celebration due to covid) and he was blow away by the view and amenities. Your home made it so much more special for him. Thank you for everything!

Bill is proactive and rapid with communication and understands issues than may arise. The home is open and the view is phenomenal. Excellent response and communications! tolerated us when we did not successfully read provided instructions... Thanks!

We finally decided to go somewhere after 18 months at home! This could not have been a better vaca! We worked from 3am-noon and then enjoyed the pool, ocean, sun & house. Plenty of room for my 4 teen sons. Access to beaches, restaurants, & retail. Nice neighborhood & community! (Beautiful houses but Lako house is probably the best one of all.) Bill was a great host and even got us groceries when we arrived under quarantine! We can’t wait to go back to the Lako house again.

Great spot for extended stay. Best attributes of the property/stay. Wonderful location that is close to great beaches, snorkeling, and the stores and restaurants of Kona. The property has a wonderful pool/hot tub with view of the ocean that is perfect for viewing the sunset and whale watching (binoculars helpful given the distance). Just staying in was a pleasure. The kitchen is very well set up such that cooking at home is very nice with large gas grill outside, and indoors slow cooker, rice cooker, numerous pans, plates etc. The owner is tremendously easy to reach and helpful.

The place is clear, large, quiet and perfect for relaxing holiday. Bill is a wonderful host and helped us during our stay with timely communication. He gave us helpful suggestions to make our travel to and from Hawaii easy during pandemic.

The house is super comfortable to be in. We had to quarantine and didn’t leave the property for 14 days! I don’t think I could have done it anywhere but Lako House. Thanks again for everything. I think of you as our friend.

If you want the full Hawaiian experience book Lako house. We will be back, at least 10 life memories for my children.

VERY spacious inside and out. The host was more than accommodating to any requests/questions that arose and responded in an extremely timely manner. I would stay again and would highly recommend to others! Mahalo Bill for everything. Though our weekend did not go as planned, we could not have asked for a better house to be "quarantined" in, haha. Thank you so much for your quick responses to any questions/requests we had. Will highly recommend to others!

My family spent 19 days at Lako House and enjoyed every minute of our time there. We were 5 families, 10 adults and 4 children under the age of 4 years. Having the pool and the hot tub right in the back yard was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed the pool & hot tub daily, in the mornings & afternoons and the adults continued the enjoyment into the evenings while watching the gorgeous sunsets. From the Lako House you can easily access Kona city center and the Hawaiian belt highway for excursions north and south. The house and lanai were spacious and provided generous seating for the entire family to eat together. We would highly recommend the Lako House for a family vacation on the Big Island. Mahalo

This was a great place to stay for a large group. We never felt crowded or cramped. Bill is an amazing host, very responsive and caring. I wholeheartedly recommend Lako house.

今まで沢山のﾎﾃﾙやｺﾃｰｼﾞ等に泊まって来ましたが､間違いなくこの家が今までで最高の家でした! ﾊﾜｲ島らしい癒しをまとい､街までのｱｸｾｽも最高､ｼｮｯﾋﾟﾝｸﾞﾓｰﾙも近い､海も近い｡何よりもﾌﾟｰﾙｻｲﾄﾞから見下ろせるｻﾝｾｯﾄは息をのみます｡ﾊﾜｲに来ているのに居心地が良すぎて家でただただゆっくり時間を過ごしたくなる最高の場所でした｡ｵｰﾅｰのﾋﾞﾙさんも流暢に日本語を話し､予約のときからﾁｪｯｸｱｳﾄまで一切不安を感じることなく泊まれます｡今回､我々は大きな人数変更があったにもかかわらず､無条件で変更を受けて頂いたり､感謝しか出てこないです｡ MAHALO!

Had 14 guests at the property. Plenty of room, everything was in good working order. House was in perfect condition when we arrived! We used the pool, the spa, and all of the appliances. House was clean, kitchen was well equipped including 2 blenders! BBQ was clean and well maintained. The house lacked nothing, and we were very comfortable throughout our stay. I would rent this home again absolutely! Great neighborhood! Great views! Great outdoor and indoor spaces for people to gather! From the house, you can Walk to Ali’i drive or to the Kuakini Highway to watch the race!

The house has everything we needed to cook, relax, and enjoy a nice weekend. We’re used to AC and this place does not have AC, but the fans were okay. The pool and jacuzzi were great, in addition to the ocean view! We will definitely book this place again!

House is beautiful and the view from the backyard is amazing. beaches, restaurants and sightseeing all really close. It’s in a Nice quiet neighborhood and you have plenty of privacy. The host was great to rent from.

Outstanding View, Clean, Old Needs updates and air conditioning! Thank you for the use of your home!

Lako House is perfect for a large group. Good size bedrooms and a large living room. Ohana worked out great. Very spacious Location is close to everything. Beautiful views. Great set up. Bill was very helpful and responded quickly when we had a question or a concern. Thank you for your hospitality.

Our entire group had an amazing time. The location could not be beat! Perfect location for sipping coffee or having a cocktail by the pool, with the best view of the ocean around! Bill was extremely responsive and really made us feel welcome. We'll definitely be staying here the next time we visit. Thank you so much for everything! Our entire group had an amazing time. The location could not be beat! Perfect location for sipping coffee or having a cocktail by the pool, with the best view of the ocean around! We'll definitely be staying here the next time we visit.

You can't beat the back porch, with a pool, hot tub and simply incredible view. The back porch alone was worth the stay! The house had plenty of room for the 7 of us, with all the amenities needed. Location was very convenient, close to the airport and about 5 minutes to downtown. We loved our stay here. Thanks, Bill! Thank you, Bill! We had a great stay! Appreciate your hospitality.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Lako House. The house is roomy, well maintained and clean. Our party of 12 were very comfortable. The view from the house is incredible and the location is great. Bill is very helpful and friendly and will assist you with any of your needs or concerns. I highly recommend this house and would definitely book here again.

We had a very enjoyable stay in this large, comfortable home. The view was spectacular and the house layout was excellent. Large house with plenty of beds and restrooms. Backyard has an accommodating pool and amazing view. Didn’t realize how great the view was until we arrived. We will definitely try to book this house again in the future.

The Lako House is perfect for larger groups. This was our second time here, in the past three years. We absolutely love it! Good location, lots of room, great layout, clean and well stocked. Bill is “Mr. Aloha”. He is always pleasant and helpful. Bill is easy to talk to whenever issues may arise. He seems genuinely concerned about our comfort and experience in the house. We want to be in this house when we come to Kona for our yearly soccer tournament. It would be nice is if we could have the same time slot for the Lako House every year! Thanks Bill!

Lako House was a great find. When we booked it, it seemed a bit out of the way, but when we were there we quickly found the location to be ideal. It was central to everything we did, and away from heavy traffic. We had six adults and six kids staying there, but it never seemed crowded and everyone had their own space. The large kitchen was crucial to our stay and we made use of all the amenities. The kids loved the pool. I think they would have been just as happy to stay at the house the whole time over going to the beaches. The view is amazing! We saw whales from the patio two of the nights we were there. Bill, the host, was also easily accessible and quickly solved any problems or answered any questions we had. Overall we had a lovely stay in Kona, in no small part thanks to our accommodations

The home and grounds are beautiful. There was 13 of us. We stayed there most of the time. Why leave? A perfect peaceful vacation. The description was exactly what it was. Bill was unbelievable in all our requests. I would highly recommend to anyone. Already have.

We enjoyed staying here as a group of 9 for 5 days. A big kitchen and dining were very comfortable to use, and all the equipment and amenities were plenty good enough. Quiet nice neighborhood kept our sleep well and the location was very convenient to go everywhere! The owner was so kind and friendly on the phone, so that I recommend this house if you are coming to Kona as a big group.

This place was perfect for our family of 16...8 adults and 8 kids. We rented the attached apartment and we all fit nicely with all the different bed configurations. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed...towels, sandals, housewares, etc. We spent a lot of time in and around the hot tub and pool. I would highly recommend this house

That is the first thing that comes to mind when you walk in the entrance and look through the windows out into the pool area overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The Lako house was more than accommodating with everything we could have ever imagined needing inside one beautiful home. All the rooms and sleeping arrangements were extremely clean and we felt nothing but comfortable and excited for each moment to spend there absorbing such incredible views. The landscaping was absolutely perfect and waking up to the sound of the waterfall pouring into the pool every morning was unforgettable. We are already planning our next trip back because the experience was so amazing. Thank you again for sharing this house in creating unforgettable memories for all of us! We’re Extremely thankful for your immediate response and opening your Airbnb to us with such short notice. You turned what was going to be an unfortunate series of events lodging for us into an unforgettable experience that has us now already talking about coming back at everyone’s earliest convenience! This was a wonderful home to stay in and you did a great job being a great host.

1st of all, bill was tentative to all of our needs he was easily available from phone call or text he was able to help us with anything or questions we had. The house is completely and I mean completely fully stocked with everything and anything you will ever need including shampoo and conditioner in all the bathrooms. This house is huge believe me you can fit as many people as it says comfortably and then some. The views are incredible I will post a pic on this site that I took just 2 days ago. Having the pool and hot tub right in your backyard is awesome especially at night with the stars out. It's very close to downtown Shops and restaurants on the Bay. This is by far the best house we've ever rented and by far the best vacation we've ever had.. CE

My family stayed at Lako house for the Ironman. We rented the house next door as well. This was a great location with easy access to restaurants and activities in Kona Kailua. The house was clean and well supplied. If we were in need of anything, Bill was an easy phone call or text away. Plenty of room to spread out and the kids loved the pool. Thanks for a great place to stay!

We had a group of 21 people and were very comfortable. The house is well stocked (we stay at a lot of vacation rentals and this had everything!) The view is amazing from the deck/pool/hot tub. Overall we really enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend to a large group! FYI - we did rent all 3 properties, the big house, the Ohana unit and the house next door.

Bill, thank you for everything! Our family vacation was perfect. Our family consisted of three generations (26 members) so we needed a lot of space. Our family wanted to avoid hotels since we all just wanted our own privacy so finding these homes (lako, ohana, hnd) were perfect. The Lako house was large enough to gather in and all three homes were able to room all members, giving us all of us our privacy when needed! We spent everyday in the pool and hot tub! Still missing the pool and the 180 view! The kitchen was also huge which made it so much easier for all of us to cook and enjoy dinner together. Everything regarding the Lako house, Ohana, and HND posted on here and on the lakohouse.com were accurate! Bill is so detailed oriented and easy to work with. If we had any questions or concerns, he was quick to respond. I highly recommend the Lako house, Ohana, and HND to anyone looking for a home to accommodate a large party. From our family to yours, thank you Bill!

Gorgeous views overlooking the ocean with a pool and hot tub. Perfect vacation week to celebrate my husband’s birthday. There were 3 couples and plenty of room for all of us. This is also great for large families because it was so spacious. Kitchen was huge so we stayed in to cook most nights. It also had a BBQ which we used a lot. We would highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again.

We had a group of 20 staying at the Lako house, studio, and house next door. Amazing experience! Highlights included: - pool and hot tub with 180 degree views of ocean – sun setting over water every night - grill and outdoor seating by pool for 20 to eat diners in same area each night - extremely close proximity and some space for separate families between the main house, studio, and house next door - Bill the owner is super attentive and helpful with any and all questions about the house and the island. He is also very organized in getting payments for place and clearly laying out all expenses for house, cleaning fees, taxes, and credit card surcharge in very transparent manner - separate fridges and washer/dryer in house, studio and house next door - property was clean and very well described on the website Phenomenal experience and magical place to celebrate my 40th birthday!! Thank you, Bill!

Fantastic views! Great Space! With a family of 14 with a wide range of ages, it was great to have multiple patio sets to eat together. The kitchen was spacious enough that we had different folks doing different things.. the neighborhood was quiet.. perfect sunsets close to Magic Sands Beach... would definitely stay again, if we go back with a big group..

Located close to Kona town, spacious rooms, lots of amenities, inviting pool & jacuzzi, and staff that responds very quickly. If you do your homework (like we did), and compare houses that cater to large groups, you'll find Lako House is great place to stay for large groups / families.

Got to celebrate our daughter's birthday with some friends & fam! Loved the view, pool & house!!!

We were so much glad to stay at Lako House in December. There is no better place than Lako House. Enjoyed beautiful sunset ocean view every day and you can actually see the horizontal line to feel the roundness of earth. Entire property is well maintained and the owner definitely provide such excellent service. The swimming pool and Jacuzzi were very clean and made us so much relaxed and even watched lots of stars while we were enjoying Jacuzzi hot bath. We really hope to go back to this place again and definitely recommend everyone who is looking for the perfect place to stay in Big Island.

We came to Hawaii for the our wedding ceremony at Mokuaikaua church, the oldest in Hawaii. It was the second time that we came to Hawaii Island. Since my best friends came to this trip to Hawaii this time, I found LAKO HOUSE, where all of us can stay. LAKO HOUSE, which we stayed for a total of 9 people, is very large and quiet village. And there was a very big pool and a hot water jacuzzi. We entered the pool every morning and entered the jacuzzi every evening and enjoyed there with everyone. The best thing was to see the ocean from the room. KONA SUNSET I watched every day is amazing! For dinner for about a week's stay, we cooked using ISLAND KICHEN. we ate dinner with Kona beer is memorable. There are too many memories, I can not write it, but one word at the end. What we were able to stay at LAKO HOUSE was the best. The owner's BILL was very kind and care at any time. I appreciate it very much.

Our group of 15 (plus a baby) had an incredible stay on the Big Island. The home is set up perfect for groups of families with three bedrooms (with adequate space for a whole family to stay in), a large family living room, beautiful dining room and perfectly stocked kitchen. We rented the Ohana studio also for our family with the baby and it was great for them to have their own space for the baby, but still be within 'shouting' distance if needed. The pool and hot tub were the perfect size for our group. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need (coffee maker, rice cooker, coolers, glasses for everybody, pots / pans / utensils...there was nothing missing from the supply). All the bathrooms were not only convenient but needed for the number of people we had. There is not one negative thing I can think of to say about this property. It is beautiful, large, provides everything you need and has an unbeatable view. We watched the whales breaching out of the water while sipping coffee and planning our days, were surrounded by fire works from all sides on New Years Eve, and enjoyed the breeze coming the screened windows and doors each evening. Beautiful. Wishing I was there now!

We had five families on this stay and this house was great for us. We had plenty of space. Most of our at-home time was spent out on the patio. Having access to a pool/hot tub is a must -- keeps the kids entertained. The view from the pool area is amazing! Very short drive to town, restaurants, coffee, store, etc.

Our university group stayed at the Lako House to accommodate our group of 21 while we were studying geography on the Big Island. The location was great -- not too far from the local shopping where we bought groceries, etc. Our students loved the house -- it gave them a chance to bond while the professors stayed in the Ohana suite. We are already working on our reservation for next year. Great staff, beautiful home, and a few minutes from the ocean.

We had a large family trying to find a reasonable house to accommodate us and found this treasure. They were very helpful and took care of everything for us. Would like to return again.

It took us about a year of planning with a large family, we rented three home and Lako management Bill was able to accommodate us all. Lako Main, Ohana and House Next Door (HND) for the dates. Bill was very at attentive to my needs and our families safety. He was there in every step. Bill helped us make wonderful memories at Kona. I would highly recommend this place for large family!

The Lako House was very easy to find. There is good access to main roads and all sorts of shopping and site seeing. We used Costco for supplies and gas. Also discovered the Ross store which was very reasonable for the younger ones to pick up extra clothing etc. The house is very spacious and nicely decorated. Loved, loved, loved the openness of the windows that wrapped around the living space, the lanai and pool area where we all lived when not exploring the rest of the island. The grounds were very well kept. Thank you for the use of your wonderful house to relax, play and do some serious bonding with our extended family! Would recommend Lake House to friends and family. As a matter of fact I'm missing Hawaii very much as I write this message. Mahalo nui loa

Lako house is home away from home and more! We were a group of 12 people including kids ranging from 1year to 7 years, adults up to 70 years old and they all loved staying here! The major PROS : 1. Location, location, location: Between Ali’i drive and highway giving us easy access to everything, Safeway Kona town, beach 2. Short drive to my fav snorkeling beach. 3. Pool and jacuzzi 4. Very equipped kitchen 5. Spacious!! Every bedroom had multiple beds for kids to sleep. 6. Wifi (Very imp for the techies from silicon valley) 7. 180 degree of breathtaking views!! Cons: 1. I could only have vacation for 5 days 🙁 Bill was VERY responsive and answered all our questions right away. A property I would recommend in a heartbeat.

We came and visited Big Island from Tokyo Japan, and we all had wonderful time there.

We spent a week in Hawaii where the weather and water was wonderful but the house was perfect! Plenty of room for our group of 11. Everyone had their own space and didn't feel like we were on top of everyone. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, utensils and plates; the only thing we had to buy was the food, spices were also fully stocked. The pool was the perfect size and the openness of the house was refreshing but most of all the view was breathtaking! Fantastic house we hope to return again in the future.

The house was beautiful, fit our space needs very well, and Bill was very accommodating, always available, and made the entire operation as easy as could be imagined. We loved our stay all around!

Wow! Wow! What a near-perfect setting for a large family gathering for a very special occasion! We departed Lako House a week ago this morning and seeing the VRBO photo makes me want to be right back there. There were twelve of us ~ eight adults and four "tweens". The very large kitchen is well-equipped with every conceivable appliance, pot and pan, dish and glass that could be needed. The two outdoor barbecues make cooking outdoors convenient. The lanai tables and chairs, which rest on a deck above the pool, make for superb ocean vistas when eating meals outdoors. The swimming pool and hot tub are very well cared for. Eating indoors in the dining room, there are seats for 13, when including stools on the dining room side of the open kitchen. The living room area and entryway are most spacious. The setting is positively beautiful and unique for a home in a residential neighborhood, in that it is entirely private, with absolutely nothing obstructing the 180-degree magnificent views of the ocean. It is beautifully landscaped. We used Ohana, also, so that each of our families-within-the-larger-family could have their own bedroom. Bill is a most cooperative owner who made accommodations to our special requests. The only small liability of the property is the lack of an attached bathroom to the second-largest bedroom. The occupants of that bedroom need to step across the hall to a lovely powder room with toilet and basin, or step around the corner into the laundry room to use that basin and shower. Then there's always the extra bathroom within the master suite (which contains two very large bathrooms), that can be put to use for those second-bedroom guests, too. So, it's doable, just a bit inconvenient. This property is clearly an older house, but is extremely well-maintained, and expertly-equipped. Prospective guests need have not single worry about renting it!

Very nice property with a spectacular view! Great neighborhood--very private property. I stayed in the Ohana which was plenty big and comfortable. Proximal to main "downtown" area--a short drive or a nice long walk. Access to pool and hot tub are a nice touch. I watched the sunset from the roomy deck--awesome.

This was a great place to stay. I found the location to be perfect everything you needed was there. I needed a place to rest and relax and enjoy Kona. Great communication by the owners. I will be back to see more of the island. I recommend Lako house!

Hello Bill, this is Frances ... Just stayed at the Ohana house and wanted to thank you again for the opportunity to be there ... Really enjoyed the place and the location, everything was really great ... Appreciate you working with us to getting some things that we needed ... so I just want to check in and make sure everything was right .. Thank you so much.

We just got back from a 2-week girl’s trip at the Lako House in Kailua-Kona. What a great house, it worked out perfectly for us. Our numbers fluctuated a bit because several of our group couldn't stay the whole 2 weeks, but there were 7 to 10 of us at any time. The first bedroom had a king bed, 2 twins and 2 day beds (with trundles we didn't use); the 2nd room had 2 twin beds; and the 3rd room had a king bed, a futon bed and a daybed (with trundle). It was great that we could all have our own beds. There are 2 big bathrooms in the 'master bedroom', 1 with a shower only and one with shower/tub. Both have large closets. The room with the 2 twin beds also has a full bathroom with tub/shower. Then there is a 1/2 bath just off the main entry. And behind the kitchen is a small laundry room with another shower and a sink. It was really easy to share the different spaces and we never felt like we had to wait in line for bathroom access. Though the wall to wall (and ceiling) mirrors in the 1/2 bath caused a lot of laughing and comments about keeping the lights turned off. With 10 women there was a lot of laundry being washed too. We liked using the 2 drying racks which we set up in the side yard. We only rented the main house, but it was great. It was clean, the kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, etc. and even a few different kinds of coolers we could borrow when we went to the beach. We usually had breakfast and dinner at home, so we used the kitchen a lot. Bill even got us a 2nd coffee pot which let us make 2 kinds of coffee (dark roast & medium roast) each morning so there was no arguing about coffee :-). The pool deck is the crowning glory of the house. What a wonderful space. The upper section is tiled, and has lots of chairs and 3 outdoor tables. We ate breakfast and dinner outside almost every day. The view out across the pool to the ocean was wonderful. We saw quite a few whales while sitting on the deck. The BBQ area is great with an easy to use the propane grill. And the hot tub is a big plus. What a great space to warm up after snorkeling with the dolphins or body surfing at Hapuna. Bill can also set up the wi-fi. We've rented houses frequently these last 10 years and usually we have trouble hooking up to the wi-fi, but no one had trouble at the Lako House. We all had smart phones, and there were a couple of laptops and a iPad. So there was a lot of e-mail checking and Facebook posting going on.

We have stayed at Lako House 4 times already and we always enjoy staying...looking at the sunset over the sea is too beautiful for words! Good neighbors here are also important for our children too. The owner is very friendly and flexible to help you so that you have nothing to worry to stay this gorgeous big house!!

We stayed at the Lako House for 10 days right after Thanksgiving and there were 11 of us. The house is big enough to fit everyone. It is even better than the pictures on the website. The house is clean, bed sheets were clean and kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils. The backyard is awesome, kids loved swimming. The location is very good. The house is near a public beach and all the stores in case you need to go buy food. My whole family was very happy with the stay. I would definitely recommend this house for a large party.

Awesome place! We stayed at the Lako House for a week and it was wonderful. Perfect location and amazing view. I would come back in a heartbeat.
