About this property

"The Lodge at Kaloko, Big Island Hawaii…what an amazing, unique place to experience. The lodge is truly one of a kind and is incredibly comfortable while beautiful."
-Guest, July 2022

"Out of all our experiences with hosts on AirBnb, Kaili's was by far our most memorable. Not only is this house an amazing home for large families or groups to enjoy, but it's so centrally located to most top beaches, grocery and shopping on the Kona side of the island."
-Guest, Feb 2022

A perfect family gathering!

We had an amazing family time, full of great memories. We travel widely and incessantly, and I can't say enough good things! This is a spectacular property, with ocean views and a beautiful patio, pool, and hot tub. The kids wanted to live in the pool! Cleanliness was impeccable, even for my perfectionistic wife and adult children. Lots of room for people to spread out and have their own introvert space, but places where we all gathered together (lanai patio, living room, fire pit). The young kids had their own movie night upstairs (Moana and Lilo and Stitch) in front of the huge TV. Sunsets were amazing! Nights give a cool break from the sun of the beach and we had gentle rain a few times. There is real privacy here, with flowers and trees nestling around you. The birds sang each day, the frogs quietly opened the night, the roosters down the hill welcomed us each dawn. Overall, there is a deep sense of peace at this property which was tangible. Ka'ili, our owner and host, had provided anything we could need in a well-decorated but family friendly decor. The kitchen was modern, stocked, and used a ton! (Costco). She was immediately responsive to any questions which came up and gave us a list of great restaurants and beaches. Our favorite times were teaching the children to snorkel, our manta ray snorkeling cruise (a must!), times at the Lava Lava Beach Club beach (worth the 25-minute drive). We are already hoping for a repeat next year. Yep. That good.

A great week in Kona

Excellent property and very accurately described in the pictures and reviews. We had 11 people and needed 8 beds, and there was plenty of space for everyone. Kitchen is well stocked, rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, and outdoor area was superb. You are up the hill, about 10-15 minutes by car from airport, shopping and restaurants. Hosts are very attentive but not intrusive, and it is a perfect setting for a large extended family, or two families traveling together

Peaceful, cool, and so well appointed

Our group of seven loved our stay at Kalako! It was the quiet and peaceful retreat we were all wanting. The best thing about the house is that it’s so much cooler than the beach. We loved going from the uncomfortable heat into our leafy and quiet home. We used the beautiful hot tub everyday and night, sat by the fire pit and the glow of the torches, and enjoyed all the different nooks and seating areas. The house is very thoughtfully appointed! There are Bluetooth speakers throughout the house, the kitchen has all the equipment you need (even a pie server for Thanksgiving!) is a dream for hosting. Lots of large spaces to gather and lounge, but also plenty of room for privacy. Bedrooms and bathrooms are exactly as described with comfy beds. And it’s all about 20 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes to town. Hosts are immediately responsive and check in, but we had no problems at all. We would definitely book again!

A Golden experience for a Golden anniversary

We gathered at The Lodge to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our children and families. All 14 of us! From the time we booked our property and all throughout our stay, Kaili was so helpful and responsive. She really helped make this stay so memorable! The bedroom suites with ensuite baths were perfect for our 4 families with comfortable beds, linens, and supplies. The kitchen was spacious and had a well stocked pantry. Deliveries for needed food items were easy. The beach was a short drive and there was plenty of beach gear at the house for us to use. After a hot day at the beach, the cooler temperatures at the lodge were so welcome. The pool and hot tub were a plus and we’ll never forget the beautiful sunsets and the sounds of the coqui at night. Beautiful home, stunning setting, and excellent host. Thank-you!

Wonderful vacation home

Our family of 12 adults had a wonderful time in the home. There was plenty of space for everyone inside the home. There is also a great covered patio with a comfortable sitting area and a table for outdoor dining. The hot tub and pool are a nice addition to the home. The real benefit of the home was the host. Her communication was amazing. She checked on us several times, provided suggestions of things to do and see and let us know that the volcano had started erupting again. I would highly recommend this property. This was the best host that I have ever dealt with on any rental!

About the host

Hosted by Kaili Walters

My husband and I have lived on the Big Island for over 20 years. We love all the islands and have lots of advise on things to do on Big Island and also the others if you plan to island hop during your time here. We have put a lot of love into our beautiful lodge estate in the Cloud Forest and are excited to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

The home is a magical place. It has been home to us and we had to move to the mainland for opportunities for our children. We plan to return but in the meantime we decided to share with others.

What makes this property unique

Nestled on the peaceful slopes of Hualalai sits this large estate on 3 acres, The Lodge at Kaloko. Sleeps 15 comfortably with 5 well appointed bedrooms and bathrooms. Enjoy stargazing in the 16 person hot tub or by the outdoor firepit. 10-15 minutes to airport, beaches, Four Seasons and town. Wake up surrounded by ancient Hawaiian trees, Hapu'u ferns and native birds in the only cloud forest in North America.
