This was a very lovely place. I love the location as it is out of Kailua Kona, but near enough to go into town quickly. Clean and a reasonable price.

This was our worst stay at Casa de Emdeko and will be our last. We had neighbors upstairs with two young children than ran and moved almost 24/7 throughout our entire stay. It was crazy.
During sunsets, we had people literally sitting on the other side of the wall where our patio was and obstructed our view and it lacked privacy.
The Internet was beyond slow and television was super limited on what we could access. Additionally, it took multiple calls to the property manager to get the screen door repaired, toilet repaired, and sliding glass door repaired.

I had an amazing 2 week stay. I have been coming to the Big Island for many years and this was my favorite stay. The unit was super clean and set up. The pool area was beautiful and the sunsets breathtaking. I am looking forward to returning next year.

Overall, a very pleasant experience. We were there for the Ironman competition, so the crowds were pretty heavy. The run portion of the race happened right in front of the complex, which made it nice. Location right on the coast was very nice, however, really no beach area in front of the complex. 30 minute walk to downtown Kona, about 1.3 miles (flat). Loved the salt water (ocean fed?) pool. Parking could be an issue if the complex is full.

We have just stayed at this place for the last 6 nights. This is the best room at this property as far as location goes. The views over the ocean are incredible and the sunset views each day are the best.
The room is very quiet which leads to a relaxing stay. The room has everything needed for a great stay. The pools are nice and the location is central to the Kona coast. The room is comfortable but well worn. It was very clean on arrival. Communication with the owner was fast and effective. Thanks for having us.

Having a ground level unit was one of the best features of this condo. It was super convenient to enjoy the pools and outdoor spaces and be able to quickly go back inside for refreshments. It was super easy to bring groceries and luggage inside as well.

Beautiful, clean and well-appointed condo with the PERFECT view! Lanai has views on both the west and north side for those amazing sunsets - complete with residents who blow the conch shells to mark the moment. Property has both a chlorine and salt-water pool, with the salt-water one located right at water’s edge. So much fun when those waves come crashing into the pool. Great communication with Knutson & Asso Prop Mgmt before and during our stay. Casa de Emdeko is our favorite Kona location ... and 219 is our favorite unit!

The unit was a great location but the fact the ac didn’t work and we were given the run around was upsetting. After 24 hours of no ac and being told they are working on it to use fans was not acceptable. As a manager stood there and watch it jump up in temperatures she could see this was an issue. The first night was so bad as air was not moving I slept on balcony on an air mattress. After most of the next day spent on phone/text with management keeping me from enjoying my day and still no ac I called Airbnb and they said go to a hotel, we will credit you and they agreed this was not right so after a wasted day on this we packed up and went to Royal Kona down the road and was in a room nice and cool.

Great quiet condo with wonderful amenities and excellent location. Condo was very clean and well-stocked for our needs. All instructions were very clear and helpful. Two nice pools (one saltwater on the ocean) and a great beach to chill on under the palm trees. Great outdoor lanai dining area and built in couch. Would stay again as a couple as there is only one bedroom*. Amazing property!

The best equipped, best maintained condo, with good proximity to town. The kitchen lacks for nothing and it's immaculately clean. The TVs are high definition good quality with about a zillion channels. The need is comfortable as well, and there's closet and dessert space. All and all, a pleasure.

We had a great time along the Kona coast using this homey little condo as our homebase. Check in was easy, the property was lovely and the wonderful salt water pool by the ocean meant that even on days we were taking it easy we still had a taste of the beach. We would absolutely stay here again.

Amazing view! The host was so friendly and easy to get a hold of. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again!

Nice property with awesome ocean view. The room is clean and everything is exactly as those showed in the listing pictures. The pull-put sofabed looks old but still firm and comfortable. The queen size bed in the bedroom is comfortable too. The bathroom can be accessed from either bedroom or kitchen/living room. The view from the lanai is awesome. The only problem is that the washer and dryer are too dirty, but there is a laundry facility in the community. So, it is not an issue. You just need have some quarters. The AC seems a must to have for our September trip. I’m glad I finally booked this one instead of another oceanfront but no AC property. In addition, the Casa De Emdeko community is quiet and nicely maintained. The residents we met there are very friendly. The elevator is not working well. The button of 3 inside the elevator cabin is not working, but the buttons outside the cabin work fine. So you have big luggage you can go up to second floor and run to third floor to push the button, instead of carrying it. The property management company is very responsible. I gave them a call for the range burner. It was close to 5pm. The lady answered the phone solved my concern, and they also checked it with me the next morning.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with this rental, and highly recommend it. I would love to stay here again.

There were some cockroaches here but there are cockroaches EVERYWHWERE so no big deal. They were doing some scheduled AC maintenance so we did not have AC for the entire week. I feel that they should have given an advisory so we could have found another property or we should have received reduced rental since the AC was a selling point. It is not too late to di=o that.

The unit provided ample space for both my wife and me, ensuring a comfortable stay. The property management team was highly accommodating and responded promptly to any inquiries we had. The location is ideal! Situated just south of the main Kona area, offering a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. We particularly enjoyed the small beach area, which provided a serene spot to relax in the afternoon. Additionally, having a private area to watch the sunset was a wonderful bonus. We would gladly consider staying here again on future trips to Hawaii.

Unit 237 has become our "home away from home" when we visit the Big Island. The feeling we get here is truly special. Casa de Emdeko is a great complex and unit 237 is, in our opinion just what we need to relax and enjoy the Kailua Kona area. It is decorated in Hawaiian style and its location in the complex is great (one unit from the Ocean). Having 2 bathrooms is a welcome feature as well! Already planning our next visit!

The stairs were an issue despite what we were told. I read the reviews about the stairs, before booking and it warned us. However, it was not real clear. The description and the Representative on the phone made it seem like it was minimal and there was an elevator. We were told there were like only 4 stairs. Unfortunately, it was an issue! There are 7 stairs leading from the parking lot to the check in area. Then the 2nd & 3rd floor have multiple landings with 4 steps each. The elevator does not bypass those multiple landings so, you will have steps to navigate. And in some cases, it was actually easier to take the stairwell and take the inclined sidewalk to our car. This may not seem like a big deal for some people. However, carrying luggage, groceries, beach gear or just getting to the car, can be difficult if you have mobility issues. My husband and I did have minor mobility issues and dreaded navigating the steps that were scattered all over the property. We were also right next to a unit that was being renovated so, there was no peace and relaxation. We were disappointed with these two issues. Otherwise, it would have been a nice place to stay.

Comfortable, spacious, nicely decorated condo. Beautiful property, especially love the saltwater pool. Only issue was after the first day when the AC got nice and cold, the rest of the week it didn't get very cold at all. We didn't think it was enough of an issue to contact the manager

The room had a terrible smell, like mold, found 3 dead cockroaches, (which should have been cleaned up before we checked in) also, a swimsuit was hanging on one of the doors that was left from the people before us, just made me question how well that place was cleaned before we came???? One of the walls in the bathroom had mold on it. The fan did not work, the kitchen had outlets that did not work as well. They don’t provide toilet paper or paper towels so make sure you bring some.

We are big fans of Casa de Emdeko and have stayed there 15-20 times over the past many years. We chose this unit this time because it is near the elevator with no stairs required for access. My husband uses a w/c for distance but can walk a short distance. It was a lovely unit and worked well for us. We hope to return.

We really liked the unit. Lots of room and most everything we needed for our week long stay. We loved the views from the lanai , especially during sundown. The unit was not as clean as we would have liked, and we had some issues with bugs in the room. Also of note was that the 2 chairs in the living are could use some cleaning/repair.
Parking was a real pain as there are not enough spaces inside the gates so we often ended up parking outside the secured area.
Both pools were open and were great as were the barbecue grills.

#236 was a perfect condo for me and my cousins. I’ve been coming to the Casa since it was built in the late 60’s, they had never been. I was so pleased to see how well the Casa has been maintained. And, #236 has been updated perfectly! My only complaint was construction work was going on in one of the units above us. Too much noise going on to enjoy the quiet of Kona!

The kitchen was well stocked, bed was comfy and the email list of "to do" was well thought out. Of note, the hyperlink to the property in the email does NOT take you to the correct location and the early AM wake up welcome call we could have done without. The grills were very well cleaned, everyone around us was very nice and helpful. The saltwater pool was closed for our entire stay so that was a bit disappointing but of course not the owners fault. Overall we would definitely consider a repeat visit!

We had a great couple of days in this appartment, which was even slightly more spacious than we thought it would be judging from the pictures. We and our kids really enjoyed the complex with its 2 pools and the BBQ area near the ocean. It was the perfect base for us to relax and also to explore some beaches and sights on the west coast of Big Island.
The host was very responsive and we had a fantastic time there, would love to come back to this place some time in the future.

This was our first time on the Big Island but our 7th visit to Hawaii.
We have always had wonderful vacations but we all agree that Brent’s place really made this trip so special. Waking up to the ocean and coming home to a gorgeous sunset after a day of exploring the island was really beyond words.
Beyond the condo being lovely and having the best ever Hawaiian vibe, the location was perfect! It was a short drive to Kona and a mid spot for visiting other parts of the island.
Brent was also a wonderful host. As we were traveling there was talk about the approaching hurricane and when we contacted him he responded quickly to all of our concerns and questions! As it turns out, the Kona side is pretty protected! Another big plus for this location!

We had a great stay at Casa De Emdeko! The property is very nice with an excellent view of the sunset. We used the grills almost every night which are located with a nice view of the ocean. Very close to downtown Kona. The bed is on the firm side but that is a personal preference. AC worked great! I would deffinetly stay again
