This property is perfect! Although no direct beach access it has an amazing pool and sandy "beach" right on the ocean. There is a lovely lanai area with BBQs and tables near the saltwater pool. The condo itself was clean and well appointed in the kitchen as well as snorkeling and beach gear. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The location is ideal as well

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING we needed to make our stay comfortable and inviting had been thought of and was available. The home clean and welcoming. Thank you for the generous “care Package” with its delicious coffee, macadamia nuts and treats. We especially loved the bottled water and the Brita water filter which allowed us to make delicious coffee. Other guests were quiet and respectful in the public spaces. Loved the Blowing of the Conch as the sunset. Mahalo for sharing your home with us.

We were pleasantly surprised by this unit. There have been some updates that aren't reflected in the photos and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is a beautiful ocean front property with two pools and a great beach area and cabana with grills. I've stayed at Casa de Emdeko once before and I prefer this unit as it's ground floor and has easy access to parking and you can walk right out the lanai to the pool. Since it's in the middle of the property it's just a short walk to the beach and salt water pool. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in the Kona area. Mahalo for sharing your space with us!

We had an amazing stay at Casa Kona! The property is beautifully maintained, and the condo was a perfect fit for our family. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the upgraded bathrooms were a fantastic touch - modern and spotless. We especially loved spending our evenings on the lanai, relaxing with a glass of wine while taking in the stunning ocean view. The location is ideal - within walking distance to the local market and a nearby resort with a great restaurant and bar. The oceanfront pool was warm and very enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again!

Our condo at Casa de Emdeko was great! We really appreciated the air conditioning, the garden and partial ocean view, the man-made beach right on the ocean, the big table on the balcony, and more. We really wanted to stay somewhere that we could see the ocean and the sunsets without having to cross a street, and this was the perfect place. It was very clean and comfortable. Finding it and getting into the condo were super easy, although there were lots of different emails and texts from different companies that made finding information a little confusing at times. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice unit. We stayed in this complex 10 years ago 1 floor down and 1 unit back. Had an issue with the air conditioner in this unit but that was solved as soon as possible. The water was also cut off for part of a day but not the owners issue and was fine. We took our Grandson but would be perfect for two couples. We would stay here again.

This place was everything advertised and then some. Every part of the stay was ideal. The welcome basket was a real treat and every amenity that we could think of was at our disposal. Understated is the beauty of the of the sea life found in the ocean just outside the door. It fealt like our own private aquarium. We would certainly stay here again. Brent was more than responsive to our questions (sorry for bugging you) as well.

What a find! The location of this condominium is superb. Within a short drive into Kona, coffee plantations, & southern beaches. The condominium grounds were well maintained with beautiful trees & shrubs. This is a gated small condominium unit that we assumed was built around the 60’s, which lends itself to a charm that you cannot find. And with a renovated unit, it’s the best of the old & new. At night, the place comes alive and residents congregate around the saltwater pool & gazebo & await a resident to blow the conch shell as the sunsets. Our kids awaited this every night. The permanent residents & guests were all extremely nice. The saltwater pool was larger than depicted in the photos and well maintained. We would stay here again simply for the beautiful views from the lanai and the many seating options. The condo is well maintained & clean. The kitchen is well stocked with smaller appliances & condiments. We found the large kitchen appliances to be a bit dated with the oven and stovetop tricky to operate. Completely not a big deal when compared to all of the strengths this listing has to offer. We would stay here again & have been recommending this listing to our friends interested in visiting The Big Island.

The property is gorgeous and the condo is perfect if you want a simple place to lay your head down at night. Close drive to pretty much everything you could want or need. The pools and beach on property are a nice convenience if the waters are rough. I enjoyed sitting out on the patio while reading or just watching the birds and lizards. It was really convenient being able to walk out the backdoor straight to the pools and/or beach. Having a door code rather than keeping track of a room key was a huge positive. Parking is not guaranteed right outside your room and you could have to park outside the gate if the lot is full. The kitchen had all the dishes we needed to make small meals. There were beach chairs and other small beach items in the hall closet we used when we went to Magic Sands. The condo was clean and updated.

This place had it all. Pool by the ocean, private places to lounge and even a liquor store at the street. The room had everything too. Coolers beach chairs (the good ones) and the kitchen was well equipped. The lanai had a sofa and a place it eat. The pictures should be updated because this place is way nicer in person.

We stayed in this condo for 2 weeks; we felt right at home. The remodeled bathroom is very nice, the space was good, and the lanai was amazing. You have a nice filtered view of the ocean, a swimming pool outside in the courtyard, and palm trees swaying everywhere. We had three in our party, and we had plenty of space. Communication with Knutson and Associates was easy; check-in and check-out were easy. As far as the condo goes, it has everything you need to feel like you're at home: pots, pans, dishes, glasses, and seasonings. The only recommendations I would have for the owner or the managing company are to replace the mattress on the couch, as it is very flimsy and hard for a 16-year-old boy to sleep on. Also, the air conditioning sweated so badly it dripped the entire two weeks we were there; we had to put bowls down for the condensation. We notified the management company, and that's all we could do. The two pools were great; the one by the ocean is a saltwater pool, and the one in the main garden is a freshwater pool. It was nice to wake up in the morning and swim in the saltwater pool and then go to the freshwater pool to rinse off. We were lucky enough to be in the saltwater pool when the waves would crash over into the pool. The owner has supplied many beach and adventure items in the house and in the storage outside the front door: snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, towels, mats, coolers—anything you would need for a good time is already there.

If you’re booking this condo, it’s for the view from the lanai (balcony). Being so close to the ocean meant we could hear and see the waves while enjoying our morning coffee — truly a highlight. The pool and lounge chairs right by the water were also fantastic. The shower was good and we never had an issue with temperature or water pressure. The beach chairs and umbrella were a nice bonus, too.
On the downside, the air conditioning never cooled the space below 73°F, which made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. The kitchen was equipped with basic tools, but you’ll want to bring your own seasonings and oils. It worked fine for simple meals, though using the oven heated up the entire condo so much that we ended up turning it off halfway through cooking and have a cold meal instead.
The mattress was quite firm and didn’t stay in place well; if you sit on the edge, the whole thing tends to tip up. The couch in the living room was also on the small side for two people — fine for short sits, but not the best for relaxing on a rainy day.
Lastly, I received several texts warning about bugs, which made me uneasy about the possibility of cockroaches and other pests in the unit. It definitely took us out of vacation mode.
Overall, for the price we expected some less than ideal conditions. If you book this spot, come for the view and the soothing ocean atmosphere, but be prepared for a few inconveniences along the way.

Exceeding my expectations! Beautifully remodeled and the shower is amazing! It really is like a spa massage all in a shower! Private beach and saltwater pool on the ocean is mesmerizing with the ocean waves crashing in. Sunsets are great from here as well! Well equipped to make your stay very comfortable. Comfy bed. Gated community and very quiet. Our last night we had rainbow on one side of us and sunset on the other. We found a quiet little spot around the corner from the pool that was perfect. Celebrated the end of our 4@ year anniversary trip here.

My family of 4 stayed here for 3 nights in June of 2025. The unit is ideally situated at the end of a building giving you three sides of ocean views. The large lanai is amazing, and the nicely updated interior is very comfortable. My family enjoyed the close proximity to the large salt water pool.It is good to know if you are someone with mobility issues, or forgetting luggage up to your room, while there is an elevator, there is a series of 2 to 3 step level changes to navigate. Less than 20 minutes from the Tacoma airport and close to lots of restaurants and shopping.

Great view, quiet, good king bed, pleasant decor. Great grounds well kept. Sunset conch blow tradition a real treat at sunset. One BBQ great others need burners replaced.Thermostat would not hold temperature setting. Had to constantly reset it. No thermostat instructions included in rental manual it is not intuative to set? Had to scour internet to try and set it with marginal success. No kitchen basics like seasonings, condiments, sugar, oil and etc. Ocean wave crashing noise may affect some. Several steps to climb or descend (even from elevator) to get to this 2nd story unit. Parking is tight inside security gate. You can park outside of it but residents recommend do not leave valuables in car outside security gate. Clothes dryer beeps and stops constantly telling us to clean lint trap. Had to baby it to get clothes dry. We believe exhaust ducting needs to be cleaned out. We could not access it to fix it for ourselves and future renters.

This is a beautiful property! The views are amazing and the location is great. This is our second stay at Casa de Emdeko. This unit was very comfortable and clean. We had everything that we needed. We would definitely rent this unit again. Our favorite thing about this property is the small private beach under the palm trees(no access to beach but there are two nice pools to swim in). Our time was very relaxing. My only complaint was that it was difficult to get in touch with the rental company. There was a mix up with my email address and it took awhile for it to get fixed and much of our communication was delayed. Everyone was very kind though!

Every once in a while, you find a hidden gem in travelling, and such is the case with Casa De Emdeko. One might say the venue is somewhat dated, but that is what gives it the character it so richly displays. The gardens are impeccable and well-tended. The condo itself was well appointed with all that was needed for a great stay and the best part was that there were no extra tenants...at least with antennae and six legs. The whole environment is very quiet and equally as friendly. The core group of residents are very receptive and even sounds a conch shell at sunset. The location is central to all that is necessary, stores, restaurants, and is on the road to the volcano...a must-see even if she is not active.Communication was exceptional with the agency and all in all, made a first visit to the Big Island a worthwhile adventure, one that will be repeated.Looking forward to next year!

The service was more than excellent. I called a few times because I did not know something. One time someone came to my room because I was unable to slide open a lock (not necessary to use). Someone was at my place in about 15 minutes to fix the problem. The condo is immaculate and very large. I just want to let you k ow that there are a few intermittent steps to navigate. I was extremely tired and over 70 and this was a but difficult for me. This is the only issue that u experienced. Nothing major. Rhonda S

Sweet lanai view as well and appreciated being on the 3rd floor and away from the pools. Very quiet, we slept well on comfy bed! Everything we needed for cooking at home, good central location for base camp for Kona adventures. Appreciated having cooler bag and beach umbrella to use during our stay! We would easily stay here again if available. Recommend highly!
