Awesome location close to town and beaches. The cliffs on the property are really enjoyable and the place was cozy and comfortable.

Home is well appointed. Nice upgrades throughout. Beds were very comfortable and the unit is quiet. All the beach toys you need. Kitchen is large and the outdoor grills were nice. The grounds keepers clean grills daily. Along with raking the beach sand and cleaning the pools. The complex has security gates all around. The salt water pool is the highlight of the complex. Late evening float and swim with the waves crashing about 20 yards away. The sunsets are superb. Early morning coffee watching the outrigger paddlers go by. Easy drive to downtown Kona but a bit of a walk. Central location to the West end of Hawaii. Bring your own sugar and coffee. Most of the cooking spices are there but some were out in the spice rack. Water pressure not the best and hot water in the unit was more warm. Easy to overlook the little things because I love this complex. Made new friends every night for sunset appreciation hour. Parking is 1st come but usually I could get close to our unit. Loved having a bottom condo. Just a short walk to the pools and common area. Garden views were amazing. We were house hunting to relocate to the Big Island. Short drive to some of the best snorkeling in all of Hawaii. Mahalo for an amazing stay.

Property was as advertised on VRBO. Sunsets were very nice to watch each evening by the ocean. There was even a resident there who would blow his Conch right at sunset.

Need to have a sense of adventure and want to become one with the geckos in the house and the wild pigs in the neighborhood with loud frog serenades at night. The streets are VERY steep, so if elderly or have limitations might want to rethink this area. The sunsets on the lanai are the best! There's a "screened in" lanai, and our girls slept out there most of the time. If you are a princess and a neat nick like me, you might want to stay in a nice, sealed condo in town. Snorkeling and swimming at bottom of the hill and another beach very near.

Once again we have enjoyed our stay at Casa de Emdeko.
It's a great place to stay especially when you are on the ground floor and can sit in the common area with the BBQ's, Tiki torches and fabulous view of the ocean!
Our unit was clean and fairly well equipped. Just remember to bring your own favorite spices, salt and pepper etc. We do recommend this unit!

Nice older property with very beautiful grounds. Unit was nice, with a well equipped kitchen. Only negatives was the hot water was shut off for about a day, and the air conditioning was also down for a day and night. Overall it worked good for what we needed.

The condo was perfect! It was comfortable and clean. Even a few extra amenities (dish soap, cooking supplies, beach chairs, etc.) we did not expect.

The condo was great for the 4 of us with easy, ground floor access to the common patio, pool and beach area. We enjoyed the social scene with all the tables on the patio filled each evening with people gathering for dinner and/or drinks ahead of sunset. Easy instructions and great communication for directions and checkin/parking pass. We found everything we needed for our stay and meal prep too.

Nice place to stay but their were a few things needed. A privacy door for for the Master Bathroom and a musty odor when we walked in. TV's in bedrooms were for steaming only no cable Liked staying on the first floor. Very clean inside. Had a good time in the pools and beach.

We arrived 30 minutes early, but we were able to enter anyway. The condo was everything we expected and more. We were very pleased with the large and fully equipped kitchen. The bath towels were plush and plentiful. The bathrooms and kitchen have all been tastefully remodeled. We especially enjoyed the central air conditioning during our stay. The overall decor is nice, the walk out ground level lanai has the closest vicinity to the pool, lounging area and BBQ's in the entire property. You should put this condo at the top of your list for this reason alone. An added bonus is the resident who provided a nightly sunset Conch ritual at the waters edge.
We would definitely rent this unit again in the future.

Great amenities, friendly place. Salt pool on the water was the highlight.

The property was in a great location and the 2 pools were amazing. The property inside is a little dated and comfort was average of the beds. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, dishes, etc. The property grounds were very well maintained. Now the bad the combination of old retired owners, renters time shares is a rough mix and not very welcoming. The “old” people make this not a very family friendly environment and would only recommend to singles couples or other retirees!!! The condo it self I would rent again If at a different location. Sorry condo owner it’s not you, it’s them...

Our daughter and her family stayed in this unit. It was is good shape and had plenty of amenities. Great to have a washer/dryer. Location was awesome. The Casa de Emdeko is well maintained. This unit was just off the beach and cabana so had great access to outside. Only real problem was the mustiness. Don't think the A/C pulled much moisture out so the towels were mildewed. My daughter had to wash them the first day. When I was there, seemed to have a definite odor throughout. Could use a top to bottom cleaning with bleach or something. But they really enjoyed the place and hope to go back.

We have stayed at Casa de Emdeko for many years and this was our first year staying in unit 136. We were very happy with our stay. The unit was very clean & well stocked with vacation supplies like beach towels, cooler bag, etc. The only 2 issues were the screen door was in need of replacement or repair, which is being adressed already through the property management company & the jets in the jetted tub in the main bath don't work, I think mainly because it is an old tub but it was still nice to soak in. We were very pleased with this unit and would highly recommend it!

We love Casa de Emdeko and unit 136 was perfectly situated close to the lanai and pools. We really appreciated access to the in unit washer/dryer. The beds were comfortable and they had a fold up foam for our son to use. Only complaints include older stained bathrooms, but clean. Poorly stocked kitchen with no steak knives, poor selection of pots/frying pans/dishes to use and no vent system/fan over the stove. No beach chairs for guests to use, had to buy our own. Overall, we made do and really enjoyed our stay. We would not hesitate to recommend this condo/site to our friends and family.

The location is really nice. It's just over the ocean, where you can sit outside in the open area and watch dolphins and whales pass by (usually mornings and evenings). Not too far from Kona "downtown", but too close either. The apartment itself had everything we needed (including some spices and things to cook). However it really really needed a deep cleaning. That was a big minus. All in all a good experience, I'd go there again (but probably I'll ask to clean the place first).
