We stayed at Jackie's for a few nights during our honeymoon. The salt water pool was fabulous, the guests staying in other units on the property were quiet and respectful, and the birds in the morning were so peaceful. The kitchen was great and the place was clean. We appreciated having a W/D to use during our stay. My only complaint is that it would have been nice to have coffee / creamer supplied, but otherwise everything else was great! I would stay here again and I would recommend it to others looking for a comfortable, clean, peaceful stay in Kona. :)

The grounds were beautiful and the unit was pristine. Check in was easy and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. We stayed to watch some friends do the Ironman race. While a little far from the start, the run passes in front the property but overall it was a great location for other key sites. The a/c made the stay great as it is hot and humid.

Overall pleased with how clean the place was and the big comfy bed. The views were beautiful and it was nice that they have a sitting area right by the ocean for viewing day or night 😁

This is a beautiful and very comfortable condo with all the essential amenities. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The owners stayed in contact with me during Hurricane Hone making sure I was safe and secure. The management took every precaution to make sure all residents and guests were informed and safe.

The condo is clean and cute inside. The owner communicates well about check in procedures. The lanai has a nice view of ocean and one of the pools. There's a washer and dryer in unit which is nice.
The cleaning lady was there as we were packing up before checkout time, so they are on it! She was sweet as we traded spots.
When we arrived there were no car tags at the welcome desk so we left a note on the dash hoping to not have a problem. All was well the next day, but if you want parking inside the gate you need to get there early and stay parked or you'll be outside, which seems fine but if you're looking for the extra security of a gated entry, you simply can't be gone in the evening and expect a spot when you come back. That's not an issue the condo owner is responsible for, just something to be aware of bc the spaces available are few.

The condo is well equipped with all you need- we haven’t missed anything. It’s also a quiet place, so you can enjoy your vacation. Thank you.

Very clean and full equiped apartment. We stayed for a week; very nice location to downtown Kona, but you need to drive.
Quiet place; the two pools (open intolérance 9:00 pm) have been really appreciated by our family!

The property itself was nicely updated and comfortable. This is an older building complex with 2 pools and oceanfront sunset view.
Only issue we had was this owner uses a lockbox and key to access instead of modern keyless entry keypad like other units here. We accidentally locked the key inside, locked out with only our bathing suits and phone. Contacted owner immediately and she couldn't/wouldn't help us get back inside until the next day! Instead of providing her local contact's info she reminded us no less than 11 times that we wouldn't be in that situation if we had put the keys back in the lockbox as instructed. If it wasn't for the kindness of other owners we had just met at the complex we would have had nowhere to sleep that night. Ultimately we were refunded for the one night we couldn't access the unit, but due to this owner's belittling and unhelpful response to us getting locked out, we will never rent through this owner again.

Such a clean, comfortable, beautiful place that was even better than advertised. Great communication with Jackee and all the things I was looking forward to were there. Location was perfect, quiet, and so convenient to everywhere. I’ve already told friends if they are going to Kona they need to stay here. Will go back for sure!

Over the years, we have stayed at four other complexes along Ali'i Drive. Jackie's condo at Casa de Emdeko is by far the best! It is surprisingly spacious and very comfortable for our small family of three (two adults and a thirteen year old). The bed was comfortable and the sofa bed was easy to set up. The kitchen was well-appointed and I loved the dishwasher. We cooked breakfast everyday and a couple of dinners. Double sinks in the bathroom were awesome. The washer and dryer were large and easy to use. We especially liked having cable to watch the local news and weather. Also, do not underestimate the value of central air conditioning!
The grounds are beautiful and parking both inside or outside the gate (when we got back late) was safe and easy. Do not miss the salt water pool at sunset! Having the little liquor store close by was also super convenient for evening ice cream runs.
There were plenty of linens, plenty of large beach towels, and a good selection of beach gear. We used the insulated backpack every single day at the beach, volcano, etc., to carry our lunch and drinks.
Jackie is a terrific host and very responsive. She communicates with you personally every step of the way. If you are considering her condo it is well worth it!

Jackie was amazing from start to finish. We had booked another place, but it was not up to par, false advertisement. Checked around and saw our favorite property casa de embeko was avaible. Reached out and was able to get us in the next day. We have stayed at casa de embeko 4 times before. And i have to say, this was by far the best place in the whole complex. Very clean. The decor is perfect. Attention to detail is amazing. Host was amazing. Location amazing. Cant say enough great things about this place. Thank you so much again jackie for getting us in and letting us stay at your beautiful home. Will definitely be coming back next year, twice hopefully

For those of us from New England, Hawaii in February is Heaven!. The property is close to beaches and all kinds of activities. It is fully equipped with Beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and coolers. There are two beautiful pools, salt water and fresh. The sunset view is stunning. I would go back and stay again.

My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay in Jacki’s condo. We found Jacki to be extremely helpful with the whole check in process it was a breeze. The condo has a very well equipped kitchen which was great & overall just a nice feel. Particularly liked the saltwater pool where you look at over the ocean.

I will not stay there anymore lots of homeless people hang out at night by the liquor store that is why they put a fence up . I have been going to the islands for 22 years

Overall a great experience and property location is ideal. Given the Hawaiian climate, lots of rules are food storage and cleanliness but Jackie is responsive to all requests.

Very nice clean quiet place. It had everything we needed, truly felt like a home away from home. They also had beach umbrella, body boards, coolers, beach chairs, beach towels and beach toys for use. It was nice that there was a deli shop next to the place quick bites/snacks. The pools were very clean and the view was just beautiful from the place, we ight next to the ocean. Host was very nice and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again.

The property looks to have been refurbished fairly recently, and is very artfully appointed. My wife liked it better than any of the other properties we've stayed at in the various islands.

My family of 3 (2 parents and 8-year-old) really enjoyed our stay at Jackie's. We received a lot of rules and advice ahead of time - which we appreciated as the mark of someone who takes care of their property. The condo and property are very clean and well-maintained, with beautiful plants, 2 swimming pools (1 saltwater, 1 chlorine), morning coffee in the cabana, and a sandy area with lounge chairs. Well-equipped kitchen. The beach chairs, beach umbrella, and cooler were wonderful to have. Jackie is very responsive. Only suggestion: it would be great if laundry detergent could be made available for future guests.
We would love to stay here again!

We loved this property. The other tenants were friendly and welcoming. The pools were warm and clean. The condo met our needs. It was a bit small for two adults and two teenagers but the floor layout made up for that. The condo was well equipped with dishes, towels and condiments/spices. We had to drive to get to most places but it made for quiet living.

The condo was just redone and is very beautiful. It has all of the comforts of home and more. The kitchen is well-equipped. The property is kept up well and the common areas are full of greenery/flowers. Two pools are on the property. We enjoyed the salt water pool which overlooks the ocean, but there is also a regular pool which is in the midst of the beautiful grounds. The location of the condo is quite good for heading south to beaches or north to the Ocean Research Center. Jackie, the owner, was always quick to answer any question we had before or during our stay. Thanks for a great vacation, Jackie.
