Casa De Emdeko 222

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 condo itself is perfect for a couple. Beautiful big bedroom & bathroom, nice kitchen with everything we needed, and a cute living room with a nice size tv. The balcony view is absolutely beautiful. The facility is really nice. Salt water pool, regular pool, sandy beach area, convenient laundry room, plenty of common areas, grills, books & puzzles. And it’s nice that it’s a gated community. The beach area provides perfect sunset viewing.

Not enough parking

This property was clean and superb for our stay. We enjoyed the salt water pool, the central pool and the fabulous location right on the water and near the village.

Great location, beautiful courtyard, well maintained, quiet, fantastic salt water pool overlooking the ocean and can’t say enough it was just a great place.

Second time we have stayed here and it is by far my favorite. It’s a bit out from down town but there is a wonderful little market right out side the gates. I love that they have 2 pools one fresh one salt.

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.

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.

Clean, quiet, convenient, 2 miles to the Kona pier, and on the waterfront. However, management is tight with access and use of bedding and towels, and lack of parking in the secured area is limited and thus, problematic.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Clean comfortable and a nice location to downtown Kona

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 4 stayed here for 3 nights in June of 2025. The unit is ideally situated at the end of a building giving you three sides of ocean views. The large lanai is amazing, and the nicely updated interior is very comfortable. My family enjoyed the close proximity to the large salt water pool.It is good to know if you are someone with mobility issues, or forgetting luggage up to your room, while there is an elevator, there is a series of 2 to 3 step level changes to navigate. Less than 20 minutes from the Tacoma airport and close to lots of restaurants and shopping.

Very clean and quiet. High quality accommodation. Easy parking. Pools were a nice feature. I would stay here again anytime!

Our family of four enjoyed our stay. Excellent location with fantastic views of the ocean. Very clean and spacious. I recommend this listing without hesitation.

My wife and I stayed for eight nights in May. The complex is a little dated but very nice overall. There is a salt water pool as well as a chlorinated pool. The complex was very friendly, each evening there was cocktails or a potluck and coffee in the morning. The condo is very clean and well appointed. I would stay there again in a second.

Fairly good location and property. Kitchen is well equipped, but the condo is dirty. The dust on the faux orchids beside the bed is so thick it could be measured. Tile in bathroom is grungy and the shower door and tracks are unacceptably filthy. Place is quiet, you can hear the person upstairs walking around.

The location was great and the property was great. The unit and furniture was a little dated minus the kitchen. It looked pretty new.

The condo itself is perfect for a couple. Beautiful big bedroom & bathroom, nice kitchen with everything we needed, and a cute living room with a nice size tv. The balcony view is absolutely beautiful. The facility is really nice. Salt water pool, regular pool, sandy beach area, convenient laundry room, plenty of common areas, grills, books & puzzles.

You can’t beat this view!!!

Easy checkin and great communication with property management. The lanai was extensive and overlooked the ocean. Location was great as it was straight access to the shopping and restaurants. We would definitely stay again.

The view alone is worth the money. The unit is a little old, but well kept and for the most part pretty well stocked but could use some improvement, starting with everything needed for a nice cup of coffee. I think the listing could be a little more forthcoming regarding the lack of ADA features of the property. It’s a little difficult getting to the unit for a person on oxygen and/ or someone with mobility issues. If you were in a wheelchair it would be impossible. The elevator is almost useless. This unit is 1 of 6 that are directly overlooking the ocean and the wrap around lanai is fantastic!

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.

Casa De Emdeko located at near center of Kailua Kona. Building was old but well maintained. The ocean front room was quiet and cozy for us. View was excellent, the wide open ocean. Sound of wave is wild. It was full moon while we stayed, so waves were higher than ever. Salt water pool just next to the ocean was fun. The owner that we saw him often in KTA or Safeway casher respond me soon on WiFi trouble asking. The only disappoint thing was low water pressure in the shower.

Everything was perfect. The unit is exactly like the pictures. Location is great. Close to town but far enough away you don’t hear the hustle and bustle of town. Sitting on the lanai having breakfast looking out at the ocean was a dream. We took a video to watch mornings at home while having breakfast there.We only used the salt water pool right on the ocean edge. One could walk right into the water. WiFi was fantastic even while out on the beach area. We couldn’t have asked for more. The management company even called our first day to be sure everything was as expected. One day there was a slight issue with a toilet and they responded immediately. Can’t ask for more than that. Kitchen and entire condo was very well supplied. Planning to return hopefully next year!

We stayed here for 6 days and I would do it again in a heartbeat! The property manager was very communicative! If I had a concern, I would text them and get a response almost instantly. The master bedroom bed was super comfortable. The view… all I can say is WOW! There were a few days we didn’t really want to do anything other than sit on the balcony and just watch the ocean. The sunsets were insane! Having a washer and dryer in the unit were awesome! The kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need. The AC was awesome considering it was pretty warm and humid while we were there. It was nice having two pools for our teenage sons to play in. The liquor store in the front of the complex was very convenient for items we needed throughout our stay. If you’re thinking about this unit, BOOK IT! You will not regret it! Thank you so much for giving us an awesome summer vacation! We will definitely be back!

The unit is lovely and well located. We had an issue with a dripping shower that continually splashed water all over the floor. When we asked for service management sent us a bucket and a mop so we could clean it up ourselves. It took a week to get it “fixed” so that it no longer dripped, but then only dispensed cold water. Bed has too much plastic covering. Like sleeping in a plastic bag.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I booked this property over 6 months in advance through VRBO and a contract from Knutson as the property manager. I got an email from VRBO confirming the full price and thought that was that. About a month and a half before the trip I was notified by Knutson that despite the contract the rate would go up by $300 dollars due to a tiny clause in Knutson's contract allowing the owner to raise the price. I was given the option to either pay the extra or they would let me out of the contract. At that time it would have been very difficult to find another comparable unit since it is a popular area and units get rented well in advance. Knutson rep was not very apologetic about it, pretty much take it or leave it. So be sure to pay in full through Knutson asap to avoid increases, and even then, beware of a price increase. Other than that, the unit was in a gorgeous location. The unit is older but decently well maintained. A musty smell upon entry, but to be fair it was very humid in Kona. Kitchen well appointed; some signs of wear on the furniture; twin beds VERY firm/hard; sheets for king bed wouldn't stay on the bed. The bedrooms are next to the entry door. Beautiful lanai. The older louvered glass floor-to-ceiling window in the small twin bedroom allows a lot of wind and sound in to that bedroom; not a deal breaker but when we had a bit of a storm one night the adults staying in that room ended up sleeping on the couches, which were actually quite comfortable. Management while there was very prompt and responsive. It is a hike to get to parking from this unit but worth it for the direct oceanside views. The complex is very well maintained and quiet. There was no one there when we arrived to check in. Called mgmt and were told to just fill out a form there regarding our rental car info. Overall I would recommend this unit for the great location and stunning views.

Our experience here was absolutely wonderful. Property management was outstanding, and the amenities were terrific.We would definitely stay here again… Our experience was second to none.

Pros: Location is great. View from porch is awesome. House was clean. Furnishings were fine. Cons: while mgmt was good with answering calls with problems, there were still problems and none resolved during my stay. Dirty pots and pans. There isnt enough silverware for 6 people. Overall kitchen is lacking what I would consider essential items. Door fell off utility room and stayed that way. Broken dining chair and bar stool. This unit is best for 2 adults and 2 small children. We had to rent another condo after arriving to accomodate our family as the 2nd bdrm twin beds are made for younger children and the hide away bed was dirty and had a 1 inch thick mattress. The biggest con with this rental unit is that I reserved it 1 year prior but then in Jan 2024, i received a price increase. To say i was astounded will put it mildly. When I asked how Knutson {mgr} said i should find it in the contract. I couldnt. It was then pointed out buried in a long paragraph as one sentence. They can raise your rate whenever they want and however many times they want. I have rented a lot of places in my life but this was a first. Knutson's employee gave me a take it or leave it. BUYER BEWARE. THIS COULD BE A BAIT AND SWITCH.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

This place is exactly as pictured and met all of our needs and expectations. We’re a young couple with 3 kids (ages 6 and under). The place was a perfect size, had a washer/dryer in it, all kitchen appliances and needs, beach toys, snorkel gear, beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels which are all huge benefits when traveling from afar - less to be packed! Initial needs were supplied and then we restocked as we used things up. Everything worked and anything we needed we simply text the number provided and within the same day our questions were answered or need was met. We were there for 10 days towards the middle into end of June and barely saw anyone…as in it is so peaceful and quiet and at any given time our family was normally the only ones, or accompanied by one other family at most at either pool. Not crowded AT ALL, but still close enough to everything - the main drive, shops etc. Other guests were kind and respectful and shared tons of good information as a lot of them were condo owners. Communication was great with the rental company and they were very proactive in reaching out and keeping up with us to ensure all our needs were met. I highly recommend this property and rental company! All I mentioned were just added features as I’d pay this and stay here a million times just for the view we had. We added this to our list of places we’d stay again for sure!

Everything about our stay was perfect. The condo was exactly as described, the hosts were communicative from beginning to end and the location great. We will stay here again when we come back to Kona!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our vacation in Kona. This property is as it is described. The location was in nice walking distance to the shops in Kona. We loved the lanai and the views of the ocean was breathtaking. We loved sitting out and watching the waves and the whales. The property is showing its age a little, but the unit and the property was very clean. The kitchen has been remodeled and very up to date. We couldn’t leave our front door open at night because of the hemp smoke smell coming from the people on the property next to this property. Other than that we loved it.
