vrKCV - Casa de Emdeko 109, Professionally Managed by Kona Coast Vacations

Come stay at our unit in the beautiful Casa De Emdeko oceanfront condo complex!

Built in 1969, Casa de Emdeko is one of Kailua-Kona's first condo complexes built on historic Ali'i Drive. Unique mid-century architecture and lava rock walls surround a courtyard beautifully landscaped with a tropical mixture of hibiscus, plumeria, bougainvillea, and palm trees. A short walk down one of the garden paths brings you to the cabana area, oceanfront saltwater pool and a sandy sunning area - all perfect places to meet other guests and watch the beautiful Kona sunsets!

Casa 109 is a very nice one bedroom, one bath, ground floor garden view unit which sleeps up to four comfortably. The updated kitchen features granite counter tops, cherry wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances and a refrigerator with automatic ice maker. Fully equipped with an automatic drip coffee maker, French-press, toaster, new microwave (2023), combo rice cooker/slow cooker, blender, mixer, and coffee grinder it's perfect for a couple or family who likes to cook!

This convenient ground floor unit 109 is located on the south side of the complex and is easily accessible without using any stairs. The bedroom features a new Cal king size bed (2023) and the living area has a newly reupholstered (2024) queen size sofa bed allowing up to four guests. Central AC, two flat screen TV's, a new washer dryer (2024), cable and free high-speed Wi-Fi is all included. One unassigned parking spot within the gated lot is provided. Perfect as a home away from home!

Casa De Emdeko is located approximately 1.5 miles south of historic downtown Kailua-Kona. The town is rich in Hawaiian history and you can visit the Hulihee Palace, Mokuaikaua Church, or Kamakahonu National Historic Landmark. Enjoy breakfast lunch or dinner next to the ocean at one of the many great restaurants. Just a short drive to either the north or south will reveal Hawaii's wonderful west coast beaches. Venture further south to Captain Cook or further north to experience the Kohala Coast. Day trips will take you to Kilauea, Mauna Kea, Hilo, Waimea, South Point and more!

The Casa de Emdeko complex itself features two pools: a freshwater garden pool right outside our unit 109 and a saltwater pool built on the very edge of the ocean. Next to the saltwater pool is a sandy sunning area with lounge chairs under tall palm trees which is a great place to watch dolphins swim by in the morning, the beautiful sunsets in the evening, or just sit and enjoy a good book anytime! The condo complex also features a small deli/convenience/liquor store located just outside the security gate.

Enjoy your morning coffee out on the 109 lanai which features new patio furniture (2024) and is right next to the freshwater pool in the middle of the beautiful tropical courtyard. Next to the oceanfront saltwater pool the cabana area has three gas grills, patio tables with chairs and umbrellas for dining and the tiki torches are lit every night. If after a long day in the sun you want to just kick back and relax inside, there is a beautiful island style chair in the living room with a little library of books for your reading pleasure. Come visit and find out why so many guests return to Casa de Emdeko 109 year after year!

One unassigned parking spot is provided.

Perfect home to come back to, prepare a meal and step outside to catch a gorgeous sunset. The grounds were well maintained and the condo met all of our needs. Refreshing in the salt water pool while watching the sunset was beyond perfect. Great place!

Older property/ Condo with a Saltwater pool

We decided to stay at this property and rented #109 based on the property listing and previous reviews. Photos shown/description listed some items that were not in the condo. Arrived promptly at 4pm check in time. As soon as we opened the door we were hit with a very strong stale, musty smell. The condo apparently had been cleaned, but there was a half live cockaroach on the bathroom floor. The tile floors must have been mopped with dirty water as the bottoms of our feet clearly showed. The photos make the rooms /furniture appear larger- the bedroom is quite small and barely fits the king bed. The bed needs an upgrade as it was lumpy and 'springy'. Be prepared to bounce around if your partner rolls over or gets out of bed. The bathroom does have two sinks and the shower had good water pressure but be warned- larger humans will not fit in the shower. Also the toilet is very low to the ground and not much space between that and the shower.There is no safe in the unit to lock up valubles. The refrigerator does not have an ice maker as stated in the listing or, if it does , it was not hooked up. Also one of the refrigerator doors doesn't open all the way due to the wall. Wicker couch is not very comfortable . Some info in the provided welcome booklet are incorrect. We were told by property mgmt there wasnt any beach gear but there were chairs, umbrellas, cooler,etc. Gas BBQ's struggled to grill food. Keyless entry was nice,Saltwater pool was great and location was good.

Perfect Oceanside retreat!

This place was perfect for my boyfriend and me! It was super cute. It was just far enough from the hustle and bustle of downtown, but also very convenient. The property is right on the ocean. We very much enjoyed the beautiful saltwater pool right next to the ocean! We also loved waking early enough for sunrise and sitting on our lovely lanai, listening to the tropical sounds of the birds and the waves, watching geckos run around. It was so lovely. The only suggestions I would make is to upgrade the bed. I’m not sure if it was the mattress itself or the bed frame, but it was a little lumpy/off center. Also if there were ceiling fans in the bedroom and living room like there is on the lanai, it would be so nice. All in all, we had a great stay! We will definitely recommend the place to family and friends visiting the beautiful island of Hawaii!

Casa De Emdeko #109

One week in paradise! Location of the unit was great and overall complex was quite wonderful. Pools were empty and awesome for doing laps. The saltwater pool needs to be resurfaced, it has several potholes and cracks, but next to the ocean, so beautiful! Would stay again!

Cozy with good socializing potential

When I first found this condo on VRBO, I was hoping for a personal owner experience. The kind where the place is clean and the condiments are still in the fridge. This is a cozy place and we stayed two weeks as a family of 4 and enjoyed it very much. The place is quiet (except some noise on Sat nights from returning party folks as bedroom window is right on walkway) and nicely located by the chlorine pool. The saltwater pool overlooking the ocean is fantastic. This isn’t allowed anymore so this is a one of a kind. Also the common areas with the cabana and BBQ grills sets guests up for a nice social experience if you want to grill and dine on one of the ma y tables overlooking the ocean. Feels like a restaurant without servers. With COVID around, there were signs that said mask wearing in common areas was mandatory or management would be “forced to close the pools and common areas.” Many masked, some didn’t, pools stayed open. I didn’t like that we received an extremely long contract from the property management company after booking. If I didn’t sign it, my reservation would have been cancelled. I feel this should be clearly spelled out in the listing. It felt a bit sterile renting in this way. This could also be that I’m more used to Airbnb where it feels like a more personal owner/renter experience. That being said, the full1time residents were amazing and we’d stay here again.

It was Beautiful..thank you!!

I have a suggestion that may be helpful to you for guests finding the Vrbo. If you would list the Casa De Emdeko as the location for guests to put into their GPS you would get a lot less phone calls of people being lost. It took us almost an hour to find it. We kept driving by it. And if you could put a sign with an arrow out in front of the Casa with an arrow would also be a good idea. However, it was dark as well when we arrived. We loved our time there. Thank you so much and for the phone calls checking on us. Mohalo😍
