A comfortable, beautiful, quiet gem! This condo has everything you need & more. The space was clean, inviting & spacious. Attractive decor with a classy ocean theme added to the beauty of the space. Comfortable beds and large, lovely showers added to the comfort of our stay. The lanai was amazing & our favorite place to be when we weren't out exploring the island. It has a great view of the ocean, with a large comfy couch on each end; perfect for watching the waves, or any of the little local birds passing through. Beyond the condo, the grounds of the complex are a tropical paradise. Beautiful flowers & colorful foliage decorated the outside of the grounds and led to two pools. The salt water pool was a special treat! Floating in the pool watching the waves splash over the side made it a great place for a relaxing swim. The location of the condo is convenient too. It is walking distance to a great local market with artisan booths & yummy fish tacos at Shaka Tacoz! We were also close to town, good snorkeling and beaches. After a long day exploring the island, we watched sunset from the condo grounds every night. Full time residents would blow the conch shell as the sun touched the ocean.
I highly recommend staying at this beautiful place.The hosts were warm & accommodating and quick to respond. The many extras they provided like the yummy basket of treats, coolers, beach chairs & towels just to mention a few, made our stay even better. Our only regret, not staying longer.

This is the second time we've stayed in this facility (different condos). The lanais are excellent and relaxing. The ocean is just a short walk down a path as are fresh and ocean pools for swimming. The condos are specious and functional.

The unit was pleasant, clean (no bugs!), and well stocked with a nice view of the ocean from the lanai. We appreciated the beach items (chairs, snorkeling gear) that were provided. The complex is also very pleasant, with multiple well-maintained pools and a nice cabana area. Communication from Kona Coast was great! The only negative was we both found the bed to be rather uncomfortable and had difficulty sleeping while we were there, resulting in some rather tired days. It seems like the mattress might be in need of an upgrade.

I Am very frustrated with this VRBO review website, I wrote a lpng and glowing 5-star review of this property and the site deleted it! Suffice to say we 4 adults had a great time,Owner was very helpful, nice gated parking, lovely ocean sunset views from the unit, and great accessories come with the unit (spices, beach items). Great pools, grills. Unit was dated but very clean, riomy, well appointed with AC and wash/dryer. Highly recommended, 5-star.

We had a great vacation staying in this unit! I was very familiar with Casa de Emdeko, but this unit is much more spacious than most, and has a totally amazing view from the lanai. The hosts were very gracious and accommodating and very kindly arranged for a check in as soon as we arrived-- much appreciated after a 4:30 am pickup to the airport! The beds were comfortable; the unit very clean, and more completely furnished with every detail: no need as I discovered to pack a sewing kit or a flashlight; cupboard full of spices and other staples; hairdryer in each of the two bathrooms. As an older traveler with some mobility issues, I was very pleased by the large walk in shower with a supportive hand rail. We fed our chicken bones to the almost tame moray eels in the tidepools and saw three "green flash" sunsets the first week from the lanai. I highly recommend this unit, and want to thank Mike and Betsy for the opportunity to enjoy it on our vacation.

We decided to stay at this property and rented #109 based on the property listing and previous reviews. Photos shown/description listed some items that were not in the condo. Arrived promptly at 4pm check in time. As soon as we opened the door we were hit with a very strong stale, musty smell. The condo apparently had been cleaned, but there was a half live cockaroach on the bathroom floor. The tile floors must have been mopped with dirty water as the bottoms of our feet clearly showed. The photos make the rooms /furniture appear larger- the bedroom is quite small and barely fits the king bed. The bed needs an upgrade as it was lumpy and 'springy'. Be prepared to bounce around if your partner rolls over or gets out of bed. The bathroom does have two sinks and the shower had good water pressure but be warned- larger humans will not fit in the shower. Also the toilet is very low to the ground and not much space between that and the shower.There is no safe in the unit to lock up valubles. The refrigerator does not have an ice maker as stated in the listing or, if it does , it was not hooked up. Also one of the refrigerator doors doesn't open all the way due to the wall. Wicker couch is not very comfortable . Some info in the provided welcome booklet are incorrect. We were told by property mgmt there wasnt any beach gear but there were chairs, umbrellas, cooler,etc. Gas BBQ's struggled to grill food. Keyless entry was nice,Saltwater pool was great and location was good.

Really like this unit. Very clean nice furnishings and kitchen , firm King mattress. Nice sunsets from the sea wall (in May sunset happens behind north bldg from lanai so not visible). Nice Ocean views before noon and after sunset when sun not directly on the lanai (it gets hot). Good wifi. Very friendly small group of long term residents. Lots of beach gear: boogie boards, chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, beach toys....
Things to be aware of. You have to traverse steps to take luggage and groceries up to unit. Ground floor units much better for those who have mobility issues (few have a view though in this complex). You can hear the surf all night as you are close to the water. The bedroom blinds still allow quite a bit of light (property walkway lighting) into the bedroom if you need dark to sleep. Parking inside security fence fills up by 5:00 pm most days. You can park outside the fence as well but just not as secure. Felt pretty safe here and plan to stay again.

Condo 235 had a very good location within the development-close to the patio amenities made barbecuing convenient and all equipment on the open patio functioned well. The unit was well appointed and the only suggestion for improvement is to replace the small settee in the living room (very soft and uncomfortable for sitting). and perhaps arrange Netflix streaming. Beach chairs and cooler were useful. We would rebook here another time.

I usually come to Hawaii once if not twice a year I’ve always stayed next-door in the Kona aisle at the same unit. When my son decided to go by himself with his wife, it wasn’t available and he found this one. Now that I have came and stayed here I will only come here from now on. It was much more than I could ever of imagined. I will recommend this unit to any of my friends or family from here on out. Thank you so much.

Perfect accommodation after flying into Kona in the evening. Easy access, comfortable, clean and quiet. Slept with the bedroom windows open and heard some street traffic and the window opens to the walkway that other guests use, but even sleeping with the windows open it was quiet. Saltwater pool adjacent to ocean waves spraying mist over the railings is amazing. Comfortable for two or a small family.

I’m very happy we rented this property for our 4 days in Kona. Great location—the property is conveniently located. You can’t necessarily walk to the downtown areas—sidewalks are practically non-existent, and it’s about a 25-30 minute walk. However, it’s a quick drive and still well located. The apartment felt smaller than I anticipated. The apartment was clean, but a little dusty. The property may have been unoccupied for sometime. The balcony view was wonderful. Fast and easy check in and check out process. Would recommend this property and would stay again.

Overall clean and nicely appointed condo. Advertised/listed as a 2 BEDROOM unit - but is only 1 bedroom, which we feel is misleading. (There is a only pull out couch in living room area.) The grounds and property are well kept and nice. Very quiet and peaceful community. A small kitchen table or indoor eating area would be a good addition.

The was the first time we tried 219 Casa De Emdeko and had to say we loved it. Surely one of the best views and units we have had in Kona. Great communication and service made this an easy and relaxing stay. Even a bonus of folding chair and umbrella which was not mentioned but is a must. Super clean and the whole property was well looked after. The only knocks it has is that there is no designated parking for this or any other unit. Also the TV or cable did not work a few times without a hard reset which took forever to load. Not that we used it much but I did wish to watch the draft and it was slow. Other than that all good!

The air conditioner was broke and I reported it three times. I stopped using it when it started pouring water on the floor. Upon my arrival - Dirty towel was in closet, trash was left in kitchen can and was moldy, Comet was poured into toilet and left that way, shower door is broke, hairdryer is broke, frig is extremely loud. I will return to the complex but not this unit and not with Grand Welcome. I lived in Kona 15 years and am NOT writing about normal salt-water wear and tear. This just needs repairs and cleaning.

This is an amazing place to stay. We traveled around the island quite a bit and this was a good home base to return to each afternoon. Many people gathered by the shoreline late each afternoon to watch the sunset and we listened to some people blowing on a conch shell to say good night to the sun. We enjoyed the salt and the fresh water pool but my Granddaughter mostly had us stay in the fresh water pool. When we first arrived the parking was a bit intimidating and we could not park near the condo to unload but I found that if we parked just outside the gate, we would actually be much closer to our unit. I would definitely stay in this unit again in the future. If I had to dig really deep to find something that needed attention it would be that the sliding door needs to operate smoother. Thank you for a wonderful vacation for me and my family.

We are return guests to unit 204. It meets our needs for breakfast in the morning and prepping dinner at night (we grill nightly and eat down by the pool). It is well equipped and had more beach items than two years ago (cooler, umbrella, chairs, extra snorkel gears, 5 beach towels, etc.). The kitchen, while full of MANY random items and beyond dull knives, is well stocked and has everything one needs. The pantry had basic spices, oils and S & P which is VERY helpful. The unit is clean and modern and the bathroom is great for a family of 4. The kids slept comfortably on the pull-out sofa. The master bedroom is cozy and comfy. Truly, we spend so little time in the until, we choose Casa De Emdeko for the outdoor space (pools, grilling area, gardens, etc.) and it's location. Unit has hook up for washer/dryer, but doesn't have one in unit, the public laundry is close by and easy to use, so that wasn't an issue. I'm sure we will stay again when we come back to HI.

We enjoyed our stay, the view was beautiful. The space is set up well for a family of 4 with plenty of room. The bed is comfortable. I would note that this unit has harder access for seniors or people with very young children. There are a lot of stairs that can’t be avoided and was glad my elderly parents chose something else. It was no problem for us though. A check out of 10am was so early. We’ve rented a lot of places over the years and all have typically been 11. It made a difference for us since our flight wasn’t until 4. We requested a later checkout and didn’t hear back until the morning of our departure that we definitely needed to be out at 10. There was one other hiccup when we really needed showers and the owners hadn’t been notified of a second water shut off that was a good chunk of the day. But they apologized and were kind. I wish the property had a hot tub, the location was beautiful.

This is a beautiful, clean and well stocked condo. Lots of room for everyone with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The location is great as you are close to Kailua ( 5 minute drive) but not too close ( it can get really busy) and many of the activities you will want to do on Hawaii are elsewhere on the island. Think Mauna Kea, snorkeling at Capt Cook or horse back riding in Waimea. The real star of this rental though is the lanai! It is large, very large. Each end has a couch big enough to nap on. Which you will after a morning of activities as you listen to the surf hit the rocks just below the condo. The unit is 3rd from the water end of the building. There are no issues hearing of seeing the surf. There are also blinds to lower if the sun gets too warm. It’s a great place to start your day with coffee and end it with a cool drink. Highly recommend this rental. Thanks Brent

The location on the property is what makes this unit great. You can sit on your porch and have an oceanfront view and a community shared sand area. Every evening, a large group of residents gather to see the sunset right in front of the porch which can be an upside or downside depending on how social you are. There is a rocky tide pool area with fish and eels to view but no sandy beach to walk into the ocean from but those beaches are not far at all from this location.
We had some slight issues with a neighbor’s remodel effecting our internet for a few days but the property manager was ultra responsive and coordinated many people to get it resolved as quick as possible. There were a few maintenance issues and the manager was quick on that too.
A few more items in the kitchen would have been nice to have like a cutting board and maybe storage containers.
There is free coffee in the common area in the mornings and a few has grills in the common area which was very cool. The salt water pool was also awesome and never busy.
I definitely recommend this place for a solid vacation base camp.

The location of this place was the best! We loved hearing the ocean at night through the windows. The unit was homey and comfortable. It was also stocked with everything you could possibly every need to be able to cook, personal items, and even items for going on excursions! We also enjoyed having 2 pools and hearing the birds everyday. The only thing was it was hard to get parking at night if you were out late and would need to park outside the gate.

Casa de Emdeko more than met our expectations. Condo was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Our adult daughter join us on our vacation and found the pullout sofa quite comfortable. We were able to get a breeze through the condo and along with the large ceiling fans sleeping was never an issue. Casa de Emdeko is centrally located so access to some of the best snorkeling is within a 30 min drive to the south and beaches for body surfing and general swimming is 30 mins to the north. Celebrating the sunset from the gathering area and saltwater pool was a great way to end the day. We were well informed on the check in ands out process and all our questions and requests handled promptly.

Wonderful property and good communication with our host, Michael. Property is very well maintained, clean, beautiful, amazing sunset ritual every night.
Our only ‘complaint’ wouod be that the gated security was a big draw for us but we found the efficiency of the gate itself (how long it would stay open after a car would pass through, essentially allowing many people or cars to pass through on that one cars’ access) to be lacking. That would be our only real negative comment. Our condo was wonderful. Beautiful updated, spacious, clean, amazing updated showers in bathrooms. We look forward to coming back!

We didn’t stay at the property much except to come home at night and because of this, thought the location worked very well for our activities. Overall we were comfortable and the space is adequate for having a place to use as a home base. The kitchen is fantastic and we felt we had everything we needed. We got in the salt water pool one night to see the sunset, and enjoyed that very much. The down side was that parking was not very convenient as we had to park outside the gate each night, and the bedroom only has windows along the public walkway so you have to leave the shutters closed and that made the space not very inviting. There was a mold problem in the closet on the ceiling and the shower tile had a lot of mildew built up. It wasn’t a deal breaker, but surprised us. Overall it was a good property.

My family and I had a wonderful time at the condo. From the moment we arrived we knew we made the correct choice. Brent had an assortment of local treats and coffee waiting for us upon arrival and even left a card wishing my son and wife a happy birthday. Everything was as advertised and more, from the sunset view, to the swimming pool by the ocean and the tropical gardens and birds in the center of the complex. The lanai was our favorite location for enjoying morning coffee. The beds were comfortable and the showers were spacious and modern. Needless to say, Brent and Casa Kona exceeded our expectations. If you are planning on traveling to the Kailua-Kona area we highly recommend that you consider staying at Casa Kona. Thank you Brent!

![Casa de Emdeko Unit 325]()
I'm giving this property an overall rating of 1 star based on their filing an insurance claim after we left for damage which did not occur--at all.
Otherwise, I probably would have given them 3 stars. The condo was ok. A little dated, could have used a deep cleaning (most things sticky to the touch), a little under supplied, but generally ok. We had a few minor issues, (broken sun shade, couldn't figure out how to make TV work, cord came off the fan when we tried to turn it on, etc.) but the owner replied quickly and cheerfully and had them fixed by her son in law when we mentioned them. I wouldn't have even bothered to leave this review, except that after we got home, we were shocked to learn that the owner had filed a $1,300 insurance damage claim, alleging that we'd broken all these items and done other damage as well, including a "cigarette burn" (we don't smoke). All of this is completely untrue--it simply did not happen. We are responsible renters in our 60's and we don't run around breaking things (we've never before received a rating from an owner under 5 stars). I am at a loss to explain the owner's conduct in filing this insurance claim after acknowledging the problems and having them fixed--we've never had an experience like this in our lives. Suffice it to say that we, at least, will never stay in a condo owned by this owner again.

My wife and I stayed Casa Joe's property March 4th - 12th and had an amazing stay. Literally 10 seconds to the fresh water pool, so great for refills! The property is so lucious with plants, you really feel like your in a jungle.
The condo itself has loads of room for two and all the furniture is very comfortable, especially the recliner.
It has a very well stocked kitchen and I suggest you arrive first and take a look at what's there before going grocery shopping. There is a lot of butter right now!
The beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards, along with a cooler make beach trips so easy.
My only complaint was the pillows. They were too soft for me....but you'll be happy to know there is a new king size firm pillow waiting for you on your next trip courtesy of me.
Joe, thanks for providing a great place to rest and relax. We will return!

Michael's place was just as advertised - a super clean, well-appointed condo located in a quiet complex with sea front access that's great for watching sunsets, two pools and beautiful landscaping. It also has great amenities, including the little things like nice snorkeling gear, beach chairs, a cooler, etc., for use while visiting. Michael's communication was great, as well - we forgot some things when we left, and he went out of his way to get them back to us.

Very quiet and comfortable overall,
Cannot beat the amenities in this complex 2 pools and garden setting but the ocean location and view is beyond words.

See you next time.

We've been coming to Casa since 2010, this is by far the nicest condo we've stayed in! The wrap around lanai is spectacular, with unbelievable views and lovely new furniture. The side lanai offers shade during afternoon sun, and the new loungers are heavenly to read a good book.
The condo is extremely comfortable and spacious. So many nice touches from beach towels, to coolers / chairs for beach days and a wagon for bringing in Costco haul. The kitchen is well equipped and appliances are new (fridge has an icemaker!). Beds are very comfortable, and unit has an ample supply of towels.
Communication with Errica and Dave was easy, friendly and seamless. An AMAZING stay!

Awsome location! Quiet, but still close to everything. The view from the lanai was perfect. The condo complex is beautiful and well maintained. We loved the saltwater pool! The condo itself was pretty clean, but definitely old and had a musty smell. The kitchen was well stocked, but the spice rack looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. The washer and dryer was in a locked closet, so we weren't able to use it. We asked if we could get the combination to the lock, but never heard back. Also there were 2 water shot off's due to plumbing issues.Overall we still had a great vacation.

On the water! Pretty close to strip of restaurants and shops. Very clean and has a well appointed kitchen. Slight musty smell due to the age of the property but overall a very comfortable stay. Parking was easy even if we had to park outside the gates. We purchased a Target comforter though since there was only a sheet and light cotton bedcover on the bed.

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!

My husband and I stayed here for 8 days and enjoyed being away from the busyness but still close enough for quick trips. Casa de Emdeko is quiet, laid back, and has a special community feel—evening gatherings, BBQs, conch blowing at sunset… We enjoyed the private “beach” and saltwater pool immensely! We would definitely stay here again and recommend for people who want a quiet retreat and home base with the ability to cook at home.

We enjoyed our week in Kona. The views from the condo were wonderful. The other guests long term and owners were very nice. The staff at the condo complex were helpful and pleasant. Sunsets were amazing. My only issue was the bathroom had a musty smell when we arrived. Ended up being the shower curtain. I washed it and the bathroom was fine. We will definitely stay here again.

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.
