Fantastic property. Superb lanai with daily whale watching and glorious sunsets. Kitchen was well-stocked with everything you could need. Very clean and updated condo. Grounds were well-maintained and kept very clean as well. Would definitely stay here again!

The elevator was a nice bonus as my wife has some challenges with stairs. The grandchildren visited us and the last day and enjoyed both the fresh water and sea water pools.
The courtyard and water garden were a real pleasure to walk through and view from above.

Casa de Emdeko 330 was a great rental for our 10 day stay in Kailua-Kona. The condo provided a lot of indoor space, and included a washer/dryer, as well as a fully stocked kitchen and California King bed. The unit was very clean and the outdoor deck space was large and offered a fantastic ocean view. We did not encounter any problems and the rental through Knutson and Associates was seamless. It was also nice to have a code for the door instead of carrying keys with us. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Hawaii island. 5*

This was our 4th stay at Casa de Emeko and have rented a different unit each visit. CasaKona is one of the best. We felt very comfortable and "at home". This was our first stay in a 2 bedroom and loved the very spacious lanai, with an exceptional view of the ocean and breaking waves. We appreciated the generous welcoming basket of goodies from Brent and Jeff. We would not hesitate to book this unit again.

We stayed for 12 nights and still couldn't get enough. The unit is comfortable in every sense: great comfy couch, tastefully remodeled, full kitchen with all the necessities, etc. The outdoor furniture is top quality and just the right types of seating options. The lanai - words can't describe the serenity. The redone saltwater pool is perfectly clean and maintained. It never feels full, and the complex us lovingly maintained overall. Very peaceful and quiet crowd.
But just as important - the owners are delightful. They are responsive, helpful, understanding, and just a pleasure to deal with every time. This was our 3rd stay and we'll be back again. Feels like home away from home.

We stay at this complex regularly, but first time in this specific unit, as we needed some extra space this time. The rental process: you'll need to print out, sign and scan/fax back a rental agreement. Seems unnecessary, since already paying VRBO crazy fees to deal with this admin stuff. Property management company should create an online process.
The unit is clean, and well stocked, but hardly updated. The living room furniture is NOT comfortable for hanging out, and the TV is tiny. If unit is just for sleeping, then OK, but not enticing to hang out. It has an old musty smell that never seemed to go away.

Lots to like about this unit and a few not so much, but no deal breakers. On the positive side: exceptional location within the complex, great view, free coffee on the veranda, coffee grinder, nice beach towels, comfortable beds and pillows, bath rugs in the master are a nice touch, great kitchen. Not so much: parking, only 3 outdoor chairs, lack info (1st aid kit, fans & lights, parking), vent fan in bath inoperative, no patio lights, showers spray onto floors, not enough drying hooks/racks, no coffee scoop, no plastic wrap or foil, coffee pot does not shut off automatically (a safety issue), blinds in master dusty, primary photo of patio furniture is dated and misrepresents what actually is there (older table and 3 [not 4] chairs). We would rent again and recommend without hesitatation.

First off the location and view is over the top! We could not of asked for anything better. Most everybody in the complex actually live there so you won’t get a resort feeling when you stay here, which I actually loved that about the place. The 2 pools are wonderful and are rarely used by the tenants. One pool is a salt water pool which we loved. The other is a standard Chlorine pool which was also nice to be able to give you the option, say if you had younger kids to be able to swim. The mini beach area was to die for! Walk out your door to a beach and ocean! Now onto the living quarters. First off let me say that any WANT we needed were met with enthusiasm and promptness. The property manager was top notch with getting our needs taken care of. We had some issues with water drains which were taken care of quickly and professionally, the space is adequate for 4 adults. The kitchen and dining area was awesome. We loved all the space and view it gave us in the morning! Again let me be very clear you won’t be disappointed when staying here. There were small things that I want the owner to know about so that he ma have the knowledge to help make this place even better.
1. Gate security codes that were given were not correct. This was a pretty big issue when we got to the property. No one was there to help us. I had to get a resident to give me the code.
2. Parking. It would help if our place actually had a reserved parking spot.

My family found and fell in love with this complex back in 2020 this is out third trip. The location in perfect, just minutes away from downtown Kona, markets, stores, restaurants and beaches. We love the saltwater pool and the residents who live there make the place feel like home. Every night residents celebrate the setting of the sun which is extraordinarily beautiful. Although we've had pleasant experiences at other units there, this one had the best mattress by far AND the murphy bed in the livingroom was a stroke of genius! That bed was so much more comfortable for my daughter than the traditional pull out sofas we usually get and we appreciated that we could leave it down and still have enough space to sit together and watch some TV at the end of the day. The owner also provided a few items that made our days out exploring the beaches even more fun including a beach umbrella (a must have) a couple different cooler options, chairs, toys, and finally a really nice snorkle set (worked really well). I also appreciated that the owner leaves some of the essentials behind like seasoning, etc. I know theres no promise of those things so It was a nice surprise. Also, I have to add that the owner was really easy to communicate with and the one inquiry I had was answered almost immediately. Overall, this is a great unit in an amazing complex.Thank you Ronny for sharing your home, hope to come again next year!

Clean, comfortable, VERY well-equipped - anything we thought we might want was there, plus a lot more. All high-quality. I've stayed in places with minimal, mismatched silverware and the cheapest appliances - this was the opposite. We came in from a night dive, salty, tired, damp, and found a strong, hot shower and whole closet full of big fluffy towels, which at that moment were the most beautiful things in the world. Recommended most highly.

Really enjoyed our stay, nice view on lanai. Very quiet resort.
Minor issues though some might want to know about before they book, water is shut off once a week for maintenace/repairs, ocean waves audible in room all night, must traverse steps at this second floor unit to and from unit to get to/from elevator. For now mobility not an issue for us. First floor units have no steps to worry about but no views because of bushes.
Would stay again and bring ear plugs.

It was a beautiful property with an amazing view of the nightly sunsets. The first night we arrived, there was blood on the sheets. We were not able to sleep for many hours as the direction we got was to wash the sheets. After washing, most did come off but there was still some on the sheets. Unfortunately, they did not have an extra pair of sheets in the condo.

The gardens, salt water pool, and the common area are what makes this place so special. The view of the ocean from our lanai was great. Location was good, close to everything. This is our second time staying at Casa De Emdeko, and not the last!

Ocean ground view was less than 100 ft from the unit. We walked both in the morning and evening sunset to view the ocean without distracting noises from people. Hearing and witnessing the ocean crashing against the wall was incredible. I had the opportunity to swim in a pool filled with ocean water which was located next to the ocean. During our stay, the property was peaceful. We did not notice anyone until we came out of unit. Hosts, Ric and Angela were awesome. We know they cared about us and the property by the communication and follow-up.

We had a wonderful stay. The condo is nicely stocked with everything you need (including beach chairs, boogies boards, towels et all). The view from the lanai was lovely as was the salt water pool overlooking the ocean.
The only gripe we had was there not being enough parking close to the condo. If you come home after 7pm you have to park further out by the street / in the commercial area. It’s not the end of the world but it’s a bit odd there’s not enough guest parking.
Other than that, it was a great spot! Easy walking/jog to various cute beaches and restaurants.

I booked this property for my 90-year old brother-in-law and his travel partner. They had never stayed in a vrbo before and I elected to book this rather than his request for a 4-star hotel. They both loved the vrbo. She said it was a perfect location for her to walk to town and they both could easily have access to the beach and the pool. They enjoyed sitting out on their own patio in the evening for cocktails and having a "home" environment for their week in Hawaii.

The property and location are good and fairly centrally located. This place is super quiet at night which is so nice!! The ocean was quite rough which was disappointing and spectacular at the same time. It did however mean that the ocean pool was closed for 4 days during our stay. The ocean pool is beautiful and our choice over the main pool. The main pool is not as quiet and requires a little TLC to bring it up to par. The secure parking is a little on the limited side and we often had to park outside of the gate. There are several cars that appear to be parked here long term ( absent owners?) and that ties up some of the spots for the rest. All and all a great spot and we would certainly not hesitate to rent here again.

This location is just plain Stunning! Having the sea at your feet and the sun set in full view is excellent. The condo was very well kept up and all the appliances worked perfectly. Thank you for having a coffee grinder and a standard drip coffee maker. This made enjoying the local coffees easy.
The salt water swimming pool is really nice!
It does take a bit of a walk to get to and from the condo, but it is worth it.
The only downside was the lack of parking inside the gate of the complex. But it worked out for the most part.

The property is only minutes from all the amenities and most importantly, is located right on the ocean which you can also enjoy from the balcony or while you’re in the salt water pool located right at the oceans edge. The property is peaceful and quiet at night and the other residents are very warm and friendly. There are 2 improvements that could easily be made - the door numbers are located at the top of the door and are difficult to see through the screen doors - and impossible to see at night if you arrive late like I did. There are number located on the wall opposite to the doors on the half-wall but this is counter intuitive and is missed. So this makes it difficult to find your room upon arrival. It would be ideal to have the name of the building or address conveniently located at the front gate so you know when you’re in the right location. My Uber driver wasn’t even sure if he was dropping me off at rhe correct address. It’s also helpful if I could have been emailed a map of the condo complex or if there would be available upon entering the complex so I would know what stairs to take and where to go to find my condo. When it’s dark, no one is around and you’ve been travelling for 14 hours - these little things help a lot.
