The CASA DE EMDEKO condominiums are located oceanfront in the world-famous town of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. Unlike many properties everything about Casa just feels like Hawaii. Enjoy the large private lanai which overlooks the ocean with nightly front row incredible sunsets.
Casa is one the few remaining properties where you can enjoy your evenings under traditional Hawaiian Tiki torches.
The Casa de Emdeko has two swimming pools on the premises. One is a fresh-water pool and the other is a salt-water pool piped in directly from the ocean. Just a few steps away is a sandy beach with lounge chairs and tables so you can enjoy the ocean.
Leave your windows open and fall asleep to the sounds of crashing waves on the beach. Beautifully landscaped grounds and a waterfall are a delight to the local wild parakeet population. No feeding please. At night you'll appreciate well-lit pathways and grounds.

The unit is spacious and located in a well-kept resort. The pools and grounds are lovely and the view is great. The ocean is very nice to listen to from the bedrooms.
The place needs a deep-cleaning, windows are dirty, master bath shower is grungy, found a used mask and a sock beside the bed, appliances all work but the washer is so noisy you can’t have a conversation in the living room when it’s running. A/C works but not super cool and it’s noisy. The slider going to the Lanai is hard to work, needs two hands to open and close, and the screen is equally uncooperative, the tub drain is slow. It’s just stuff that is not great but the price is not the highest either, so I guess you get what you pay for.
They provided two garbage bags and two rolls of tp and no paper towels. Four of us stayed 11 nights and seriously it is not as if we would take extra supplies home in our luggage. If you want people to remove garbage and recycling it would be prudent to provide them bags. We made do and hauled it off, but I have never, ever had to buy garbage bags in a rental unit.
The owner asked us to let the plumber in on a day we would be out and then we no longer had a functioning toilet in the master bath. The owner has agreed to refund part of our fee, but this should never be part of a vacation.
Bottom line is, it’s a fair price for a B- unit. It feels like the owner is doing the bare minimum in maintenance and cleaning but the location is great.

We had a wonderful time staying here! It was perfect for my husband and I and our two kids (ages 7 and 10). We swam every day (sometimes a day) in the pools, barbecued during the sunset, chatted with other residents and loved the ocean sounds from our rooms. The lanai was spectacular and a fully stocked condo was perfect. So many great memories made on this trip. Thank you for the wonderful and affordable accommodations!

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 stayed there for a total of 6 days and seven nights. The location was the only good part of this property. The blankets were not freshly washed. The sheets had stains on them, so did the towels. Master bathroom shower lights were not working. It was dark and moldy in the drain. The kitchen was full of ants and cockroaches. We understand this is a warm place, but with much needed pest control this place could be kept in better shape. On the last stretch of our vacation, we had to have cold showers for the days in a row. We came back from the beach dirty and iky and found out that there was no hot water in the entire community. We texted the property manager at around 9.30 but never heard back until the next day. In the meantime spoke to another resident and got to know that there was no hot water in all units. There was no communication to us about it and no ETA. Overall not as good as the ratings suggest it to be. Thank you.

Lovely setting. Clean, easy communication. Good a/c and ceiling fans. Wonderful salt water pool and clean grounds. Accessibility is poor if one has difficulty with stairs and handling luggage. The elevator was useless and you had to climb stairs to utilize it. Property is on an incline so stairs needed for all at casa de emdenko.
