Clean, comfortable, and relaxing condo with a beautiful ocean view. Coffee on the lanai each morning while looking out over the ocean was one of the best parts of the trip. The bathroom was updated nicely; the kitchen was updated and stocked with all the right cooking and dining utensils; the A/C worked great; and parking was secure and easy. The beach supplies (beach towels, cooler, etc) were a nice bonus. Overall a great condo and we look forward to returning.

Great location easy to get where we wanted to go. Right on the water you can hear the ocean crashing against the rocks at night. There was a coffee pot issue but other than that we had an amazing week.

This was one of the nicest short term vacation rentals I have ever stayed in! The grounds are beautiful and the rental itself is excellent! We could not have asked for anything better! Thanks so much for the hospitality!

We initially had to cancel due to an illness my wife had but she recovered quickly and the management team adjusted our time frame so we could fit in our vacation. Thanks to Nick for being so kind. Unfortunately, my wife fell the second day of our trip and broke her right arm. We spent a long day at the emergency room then found out she needed surgery. Needless to say, we spent most of our time at the condo on the lanai watching the ocean. We still enjoyed the property and made the best of a difficult situation.

The unit was absolutely lovely. Super clean and well prepared with everything we could possibility need.
We thank Kelii and also the manager, Tiffany, for an excellent experience!
Great location along Ali'i Drive and excellent unit location just above one of the pools. We also enjoyed the salt water pool. Little store nearby but has an amazing variety of foods and goods at reasonable prices.
We have stayed at Casa de Emdeko many many times since 1996 and it is always fantastic. Mahalo!

Stayed here in December 2024 and this unit was outstanding. The photos don't do it justice - it's absolutely beautiful and very very large. The unit location has a nice view of the water, pool and the BBQ/community area, but it is still very quiet and amazingly private. Lovely, friendly and secure complex. Great saltwater pool and the sunsets were fabulous. Enjoyed the nightly conch shell and the feeding of the eels with the residents! Hosts were top notch as was the gift basket, the unit instructions, the restaurant recommendations and the really well stocked kitchen. Highly recommend - this unit is a true 5 star!

This is the third time staying in this unit and it was wonderful. We love the quiet of this complex and the faux beach is always lovely at sunset. The condo is conveniently located to town. My only recommendation is to change out the pots and pans.stainless steel tends to burn. But not a deal breaker, overall the kitchen is well stocked. We will continue to reserve this property in the future.

My husband and I stayed here for 12 nights and it was great! When we arrived it was clean and ready for us to relax and enjoy ourselves.
The property is exactly as listed, plus more.
There is everything that you need to get started with your stay - If you are looking for a nice place to stay and have a quiet relaxing time I highly recommend this property.
Ric was great with anything we asked - he was quick to respond.
We will recommend this location to any of our friends that will be traveling to Hawaii in the future and will definitely stay here again!

We very much enjoyed our stay! The Condo was well taken care of, had a good layout, and everything was as described. We loved how close the condo was to the water, and each night would sit on the Lani and listen to the crashing waves! We highly recommend the relaxed atmosphere of the Case de Emdeko property.

Arrived to find previous occupants had left the air on with windows open. This brought moisture into the unit and leaving a musty smell. Part of our group could not stay because of health issues so they got a hotel room. The tv was nonfunctional also so we let the owner know of the issues. He was able to bring the cleaning crew in and had the tv replaced. He was responsive to the issues and made things right. Nice quiet location and enjoyed the stay for the most part.

Pros: Location is great. View from porch is awesome. House was clean. Furnishings were fine.
Cons: while mgmt was good with answering calls with problems, there were still problems and none resolved during my stay. Dirty pots and pans. There isnt enough silverware for 6 people. Overall kitchen is lacking what I would consider essential items. Door fell off utility room and stayed that way. Broken dining chair and bar stool. This unit is best for 2 adults and 2 small children. We had to rent another condo after arriving to accomodate our family as the 2nd bdrm twin beds are made for younger children and the hide away bed was dirty and had a 1 inch thick mattress. The biggest con with this rental unit is that I reserved it 1 year prior but then in Jan 2024, i received a price increase. To say i was astounded will put it mildly. When I asked how Knutson {mgr} said i should find it in the contract. I couldnt. It was then pointed out buried in a long paragraph as one sentence. They can raise your rate whenever they want and however many times they want. I have rented a lot of places in my life but this was a first. Knutson's employee gave me a take it or leave it. BUYER BEWARE. THIS COULD BE A BAIT AND SWITCH.

The kitchen was well stocked and all the appliances worked fine. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of towels. The view was as pictured and we enjoyed the salt water ocean pool. The BBQ grills were in good working order, although we never found any BBQ tools. The unit had ceiling fans in every room. The A/C kept the unit nice and cool.
The floors of the unit were very dirty and so our feet and socks were brown in no time. The starter pack for the unit includes one extra roll of 1-ply toilet paper. We asked about this and were told we would need to provide more ourselves. Seemed pretty cheap for a week stay. The lighting in the unit was dim, especially in the hallway.
Although the courtyard receives daily attention by the grounds crew, the property is in need of some maintenance. The water feature and fountain were not working and appeared to have been out of service for some time. The pathway lights only worked on about half of the interior courtyard. There were a number of rusty looking areas that were in need of painting.

This place was great. Loved the sunshine and ocean view from the deck. Very clean and comfortable and my wife and I love Casa EmDeko in general, having stayed in a few other units there over the years. We enjoy the sunset time there, as the locals who live in the complex come out to blow conch shells and enjoy the view as community.

The place was not very clean, shower is dirty, old appliances and place needs upgrade. Every time I cooked roaches came up the side of stove it was disgusting I was killing roaches while trying to cook. I am fearful roaches in my personal belongings. I was also surprised we had to wash all the towels. I’ve never stayed in room that I had to do laundry. Someone let themselves in our unit while we were there and walked in saying he didn’t know we were occupying the room. This place needs complete remodel and spraying for roaches weekly do the come out of units

We recently stayed at Casa De Emdeko and were not pleased with a few issues.On our arrival there was broken glass on the bench top next to the oven and also on the floor next to the oven.Our biggest complaint is that we had no kettle, it was a tedious job boiling water on the stove top. The bathroom was well presented and clean.The Floors also were clean.The lounge was not particularly comfortable.The Lanai chairs and table were not easy for dining because it was difficult to move the chairs close to the table.The amount of detergents supplied were not adequate for a two week stay.

We found the condo to be well maintained and completely stocked with everything we needed and expected. The lanai was setup was convenient. The TVs were large with great reception. The whole condo was immaculately clean when we arrived and there were all the necessary cleaning supplies included. The kitchen was well laid out and stocked with everything we needed. We loved the shower in the bathroom. It was enormous, with a river rock bottom, a large seat under the showers, 6 nozzles to spray from all imaginal directions. The controls were digital, so that you could set the temperature and flow rates and temperatures that you preferred, and get them every time when you turned it on.And, Knutsons continued to offer needed instructions or help, whenever I needed it.

Check in was easy and we really appreciated the ability to set our own door code. It made us feel more secure and gave us a code that was easy to remember.
The unit was clean and perfectly positioned - close to the stairs and also close to the ocean. The communal grills are easy to use. Bonus: The residents of this condo complex gather nightly at the ocean to watch the sunset while three residents blow a conch shell. It’s a lovely ritual that we enjoyed every single night.
The provided beach chairs and umbrella were great and the ice chest was an unexpected bonus that we used every single day. The gift basket of local coffee, chips, candy, and water was thoughtful and appreciated.
The binder gave us all the information we needed for the week. The washer and dryer meant we went home with clean clothes instead of a bunch of dirty laundry. We will definitely stay here again.

Clean and well-supplied unit, but owner is very hard to get hold of. Door and gate codes changed, got locked out of room early on checkout, and when notified of water shutoff on short notice owner went dark. so make sure you have the codes early! otherwise a nicely located well-maintained unit.

We spent a wonderful 4 weeks at Casa Kona. Relying on the reviews of others, we booked it sight unseen. We loved it and are going back again next year. Even though I am handicapped it wasn't challenging to move around the property. The salt water pool was my sister-in-law's favorite amenity even though she has her own at home. You will enjoy your stay!

Clean. Beautiful views and the best L shaped lanai where we had all meals. Fully equipped kitchen. Common yard had grills we used often. They blow conch shells at sunset every night. We were here for scuba diving but this place was our favorite place to be that wasnt under water. We'll definitely come back.

The property manager is amazing and worked hard and fast to take care of issues that arose. The only problem is that we had quite a few issues. We got in late and the beds were not made with me breaking in to a closet ant 2AM, and the “sleeps 4” is not so much. There is an amazing King bed and a back breaking hide-a-bed that barely sleeps one at an angle. Since I have a teen boy and teen girl, one had to sleep on the floor until I found a self-deflating mattress hidden in a storage closet 2 days later. I also had to buy blankets the next day (which were reimbursed) because we hit a cold week and what I did find was sparse. It’s a nice garden view with lively brain rattling leaf blowers 2 days a week A-L-L morning long. Took the serenity of the garden to the next level. It’s not a bad place, but it is budget and luckily my brother was down the road with a lounge that sat 12. It’s probably great for a couple with one small child. The pools, view and neighbors are really great and it is close to Kona but you need to drive to most places. Since it is on the ground floor it has amazing access to the courtyard amenities, but you can hear peeps upstairs. There is a laundromat on site but take LOTS of quarters, or go to your brothers down the street. All in all, it wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t anything to send postcards home about.

This stay was amazing, the house was very comfortable for 4 adult friends, the view from the lanai with the sunset every night was amazing! The location was also prime to a lot of things, just a few minutes drive or a slightly longer walk to all the downtown places. House was clean, had all cooking things you needed and linens, towels, etc were all clean and plenty of them, would highly recommend!

Very nice apartment with beautiful grounds and fantastic swimming pools! Gated parking was a fantastic bonus and the location was perfect for a launch pad to explore the island! Short walk to town, close to shopping beaches and airport. Unit was stocked with everything we needed (except coffee, but that was forgiven, just make sure to grab some from KTA first thing if you are a coffee addict). Comfortable bed, the cooler got a lot of use, enjoyed drinks on the patio!
