Lea Casa at Casa de Emdeko

Our experience started off well as the property manager, Cindy, was very responsive to text. She allowed us in about an hour or so early. Upon arrival we discovered that our condo was full of bugs! There were literally hundreds of bugs all over the pillow, bed, and floor! When I contacted Cindy about that, I was dismissed as the knats being seasonal and thanks for my understanding. She didn't even offer clean bedding or housekeeping to clean the mess! In general the unit wasn't very clean. Our shower had mold in it. Parking is a nightmare as there are minimal parking spots inside the gated area. There are covered vehicles, assuming it's the condo owners' vehicles, taking up a lot of the spots. It's hard to find parking within several minutes walk and that makes it hard if you have groceries, beach equipment or small kids. It really makes you think twice about a quick trip anywhere or you might lose your spot. The grounds with pool and faux beach area are nice. The kitchen was fairly well appointed. The unit has a pull out sofa bed for guests 3 and 4. The space is so limited with the coffee tables and chair that it's super hard to get around. I would recommend this unit only for 2 people. We made do, but I would not choose this particular rental again.

Beautiful private property to stay at. Loved the salt pool by the ocean. Highly recommend!

Nice salt water and fresh water pools; pleasant shared areas including private sandy area for sunbathing. No beach, but was able to see dolphins, whales, and fish! Condo was nice if a bit outdated. Lovely management contact; would stay here again for sure!

Quiet, beautifully manicured gardens. Large condo. Comfortable beds. Brilliant kitchen. Lovely pools

Loved the pool and relaxing atmosphere!

Nice, quiet community. Biggest issue is parking. Air conditioner in our condo worked great. Very clean. Lots of channels on TV. Nice location. Great view once outside. Not exactly a Greta ocean view from the condo, but still very nice.

Beautiful grounds and location. Complete with full kitchen and bathroom amenities. Very clean pools, regular and salt water pool. Has a cabana but no service available. They have a private but small beach. No access to the ocean however. Very quiet condo property. Close drive to the downtown. They have items for us to use if we were to go the beach or grocery store. Things to be improved: linens could be fresher.. It smelled like they were pulled out of the dryer before they are fully dried. Wish it had an in unit washer and dryer. The main room tv was glitchy unable to connect to cable. Will definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed the quiet beachfront property with oceanside saltwater pool

It is an amazing place to stay!!!! The pool was clean there is a sand area with chairs! Amazing view on the sunset!! The apartment was clean! I highly recommend it!

The place was great. Right on the water. The salt water pool was great area to watch the sunset.

Very clean, quiet, manager was great to work with!

The grounds are pretty and the view from the tide pool and "beach" is beautiful. Unit is like being at ABNB. Condiments in frig, foil, plastic wrap, etc in cabinets. We had a great 3 day stay and would stay again. Only issue was mold in the shower, which I wiped off with a clorox wipe and the air conditioner must be timed because it would default back to 78 after 12 hrs. It also shut off and fan ran but it was 80 degrees over night until I turned it off and back on again. Then it started cooling again.

Great visit here..Nov 29 - Dec 7 After a very busy Fall season complicated by some illnesses We came to rest and soak up the tropical climate. The condo was perfectly clean and well appointed with anything needed for vacation such as cooking equipment, and some supplies to use and cooler. It is quiet and the pools and beach area are wonderful with shade and views Free parking and the check in was simple. Can't think of anything to request. Definitely will come again and stay longer.

The property was outstanding. Room was clean and kitchen well equipped. Enjoyed our stay. Will be back

Staying at a one bedroom condo had nice advantages compared to a hotel we normally use. There was ample lighting inside, liked the full size bathroom and kitchen. The drawback that I noticed was the musty mildew smell which irritated my throat and made it uncomfortable to sleep. Tho it didn’t seem to bother my wife. Also noticed two cockroaches inside. Probably an extra pest control service would take care of that.

First, I want to say, communication with the unit manager was easy; Cindy was absolutely lovely. And that’s the only nice thing we have to say. Booked this property for the pools. Upon arrival, both pools were closed. Maybe 4 days before check-in, 1/31/2025, I received notice that one of the pools would be closing 2/3/2025 for annual maintenance but the second pool would be available. Unfortunately, the pool was actually closed 1/31 and the second pool was closed for several days without any notice. The unit itself, 215, was dirty and had a terrible smell. We described it as the was the penguin exhibit smells in a zoo. Please understand we were visiting from a very rainy part of the mainland and know the difference between the rainy musty smell and something rotten. The furniture in the unit was worn, broken and uncomfortable. Pillows and linens were stained. Someone else’s hair trimmings were all over the counter in the bathroom. Old food was in the fridge when we checked in. The number of light switches in this place is hilarious; lightbulbs were burnt out; fans were so dusty we didn’t want to use them. Overall, not impressed. Check-out was unreasonably early at 10am and included a long-list of required clean-up: take trash out to dumpsters, strip all linens and put in laundry, run dishwasher, etc. seems clear the guests just clean up after themselves and no one from the property does anything.

Loved the salt water pool. Instructions in unit were outdated and misleading and unit had an unpleasant odor. Very well stocked with nice dishes. Parking is challenging.

Business trip so didn't need much and the condo fit the bill. Communication was excellent - I extended a day due to air transportation delays and they accommodated pronto! Parking was ok once I figured out to just park outside the gate - easy enough. Unit is clean, could use a super-scrub in the bathroom (what old condo doesn't need that!). For the money, good deal!

We had an overall good stay at Lea Casa. Cindy was an excellent host—very communicative, caring, and considerate throughout our visit. The condo had lots of thoughtful touches like beach chairs and iceboxes, which were super handy for our beach outings. The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils and there were plenty of bath towels available. The AC worked great, which was a big plus in the Kona heat. We also appreciated having a small mart within walking distance. There were a couple of drawbacks: the patio screen door was ripped, and unfortunately, bugs came in. I ended up using masking tape to block the holes. Also, there was a morning with no water for about four hours due to a temporary shutoff, which was a bit inconvenient. The WiFi was slow but functional. Despite these minor issues, the place was clean and overall a great value.

2 days with no Air conditioning was hard!

Nice property with a good location. The two pools and courtyard and barbecue areas were very nice and well maintained. The unit was clean and well equipped and we enjoyed our time on the balcony daily, listening to the waves. Unit could use some updates and maybe a king sized bed but met our needs for our 10 day stay.

Wonderful location to stay. Property could use some updated furniture and fixtures. Clean and well maintained. Nice and private property. Lacking in sound and light insulation between units.

Love our unit. Ocean view from our lanai. Watching the sunset every evening. Nice and quite complex. Just a mile away from Kona downtown…would stay again.

on our last night, the air condition stopped working it was 86 degrees all night I called the manager but unfortunately never fixed the issue, so disappointing.

Too big kitchen compare with smaller living area. I like wave crashing to the rocky water front.

Me and my family had a wonderful time. Great property and location. Condo was very nice. Mahalo!

Quiet, beautifully manicured gardens. Large condo. Comfortable beds. Brilliant kitchen. Lovely pools

It’s a ground floor unit but a short walk for coffee in the cabana overlooking the ocean. The unit itself is wonderful, upgraded and clean. It has everything needed to be comfortable and enjoyable.

Great location. The unit was very clean and communication with the property manager was excellent. It was exactly what we were looking for :)

Very clean, quiet, manager was great to work with!

We were supposed to receive a gate code, unit code, and pedestrian code before arrival, but the owners or property manager failed to send the codes. After waiting outside the gate and repeatedly calling them, as well as Orbitz repeatedly calling them, we had to book another place to stay. Meanwhile, we wasted a couple hours of precious vacation time.

I liked the pools and the condo size, but the condo wasn’t clean. The water was shut off for a few hours and we didn’t receive a message notifying us or giving us updates on how long water would be shut off.

We didn’t receive any instructions for access to the parking or condo. It took 2 days for a call. Luckily someone staying there helped and after numerous calls we were able to get into our place.

This trip was what I needed. Thanks to the property manager who saved me as I had not received my code to get into the place from orbitz. She was awesome and helped me out! The place is great. The view is amazing. The whales were so cool to watch and the sunset each night was great. I would definitely stay again.

I like the quiet area, very peaceful. The location is far for walking to center. People around community is kind of cold. They are poorly to say ‘hi’ or ‘good morning’ to you or strangers.

This is exactly the type of property I would look for if I was to purchase a vacation home in Kona. The location was excellent near shops and restaurants. I liked the size of the complex in general. It was on the smaller side and fairly quiet. It is not brand new, but well maintained, nicely landscaped and clean. It is right on the ocean with a little man-made beach. There are beach chairs, grills, and a cabana available. The unit itself is also well-maintained with a nice layout. The terrace overlooks the courtyard, but you can see the ocean if you lean/look to the right. Overall, a good value for the price. You could stay for weeks or months in this unit. The kitchen is fully equipped. I appreciated the welcome treats.

Nice. Beautiful sunset.

Great little condo complex in quiet area but still walkable to Kona for shops/restaurants. My husband and I would stay there again.

Nice place - pool and on water Great bbq area . No front desk - all done over email. Close to town .

beautiful setting for sunset pictures
