Casa De Emdeko #334

I’ve stayed at the property before so I new what to expect. I was very impressed with the property management team and their efforts to communicate and follow up. Better than any I’ve worked with before.

Iron man competition made access difficult first two days, otherwise everything was as expected.

Property was very nice, guests/owners we met were very nice as well

Great spot for a salt water pool dip just by the sea. Lovely lanai and we’ll appointed kitchen. Make certain to get car gate entry code, pedestrian gate code, and condo code before you arrive, from the property manager.

This was a great condo. Would come back for sure

The location was great, not too Close to the center so was nice and quiet. We enjoyed the balcony and the view. Main bed was comfy but could Use a mattress topper for The pullout.

Love the overall property. big plus is being right on the ocean.

Overall, we had a great stay. Perfect size for two people. It had everything we needed: location, comfy bed, lanai, well appointed kitchen and living space. Snorkel gear was available which were used. Other beach gear also available (didn't use). Saw some amazing sunset views from the lanai and the pool/beach area. Captured a unique double rainbow. Only suggestions would be blackout curtains for the bedroom. A slight musty smell at first but went away after the air conditioner began circulating and parking was limited. Minor issues for a fabulous vacation.

This is our second time to stay at Casa de Emdeko. It is a wonderful place to stay. It is conveniently located, just a 30 minute walk to down town. The grounds are beautifully kept. There is a great view of the ocean from the lanai, a great place to sit and sip your morning coffee and listen to the breakers. Overall, a great stay, looking forward to returning.

View off large, comfy balcony is excellent... lotsa surf to be seen, PLUS pretty views of the impeccably-maintained garden landscaping, PLUS a good glimpse-view of the giant salt-water pool fronting the building, PLUS if you look off left you get wonderful territorial hillside views. I just adored the salt-water pool -- (one of two; there is a "regular/normal" swimming pool as well tucked into the lush landscaping)... so hypnotizing... you feel like a kid again with the buoyant salt water lifting you up and shedding dozens of pounds away. The pool is a gigantic round circle. Simple. Soothing. Meditative. And FUN. Try it! Casa De Emdecko is an awesome building. Smartly designed and constructed. Lovely 100%-tidy "common areas" all over the place with comfortable seating and beautiful things to look at. Great for travelers wanting to read a book elsewhere besides in their unit, or wanting to meet other folks. The unit itself is great! Tasteful decor, plenty of space. Take your choice of a two-person kitchen-counter bar-stool arrangement, or a small two-person dining table with chairs, or (of course!) the nice big table and chairs on the balcony. Kitchen is stuffed with everything you might want... a bit TOO stuffed, actually -- a bit annoying to paw through all the things. No corkscrew, though! We bought one and left it there. 🙂 Why doesn't the management company show a photo on the listing of the VERY NICE, large, pretty bedroom? Queen bed, medium-firm, just right for me. Beautiful coverlet and good pillows. Ample space for suitcases, etc. Reading lamps on large bedside stands -- both sides of bed. Giant closet with plenty of hangers. Bathroom is deluxe (for my tastes!): double sinks, huge mirror, well-lit, immense soaking tub, separate shower stall, good-drawing fan. And enough extra towels for an army! Noise level while in the unit was excellent. Out on the balcony, you can clearly hear your neighbor's every word when they are out on their balcony; but...who cares? Downsides are few: kinda goofy parking lot spaces strewn around; first-come, first-served. Unit's carpet is badly in need of replacement. (However, so is MINE, here, back at home... an expensive undertaking). There are lotsa stains on the carpet. And we found one big (but quite dead) bug behind the sofa. Lint and dust apparent in many places... furniture not moved often, for example, when vacuumed. Blinds were bent. Not as 100% spic 'n span as some might want; we were fine with it!

Casa De Emdeko is a wonderful, well maintained property with absolutely gorgeous view from every unit, great little garden and two clean swimming pools (sea and fresh water). Nothing can be better than having dinner outside by the ocean with fire torches and grills available to cook. Property is just a few minutes away from the heart of Kona with everything it has to offer. This unit has everything you might need. It was very clean and ready for us. Directions were provided 48 hours in advance - that might be some concern for me as I was in travel status and internet access was a concern for me. But I could always call and I know that management team is very responsive. Overall, this is the best and very reasonably priced. I will highly recommend it.

Loved staying here and the view was gorgeous. Very convenient to all the amenities, close to the action of the town and great restaurants in the area. Only four star rating because the elevator was not functioning and we had to do the stairs with our luggage and things from the store we purchased. It was fine as my husband is very capable but if your an older couple it could be a deterrent. There's no hot tub but really enjoyed both pools and watching the ocean water waves go into the pool. The pool next to the ocean has a sand bar with ocean water and the area area has a large area for dining poolside with barbecue grill access.
