Casa de Emdeko #134 Oceanfront Complex with Private Beach and Salt Water Pool

My spouse and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa de Emdeko #134. Molly, the owner, is a gracious and kind host and we enjoyed our interactions with her from start to finish. The condo is in an excellent location right on the ocean (no beach). It’s about 1 1/2 miles from downtown Kona and close to many amenities (shopping, restaurants, etc...). In the front parking lot is a great little convenience store that we used several times.

The condo was pristinely clean when we arrived. It’s also well-appointed with just about everything one would need for a stay. The bed is quite comfortable, there are TVs in both the living room and the bedroom, the condo features a full-sized kitchen with all items needed for cooking, and the living room features a very comfortable couch and two rattan swiveling chairs. The view from the condo patio is quite lovely and you’re just steps away from the complex beach and salt water pool in this unit. I especially appreciate the number of towels supplied - both for bath and beach. Often condo owners supply a very limited number of towels, but Molly has stocked her linen closet very well. We especially appreciated having the A/C in the condo, which does a great job of cooling the condo down during hot afternoons. The condo is extremely quiet and peaceful - no problems with noise!

The complex itself is quite beautiful and very well maintained. Clearly the management takes great care in keeping up the property. There are two pools, several garden areas, and plenty of secured parking. This is also the first time we’ve been on the islands where we weren’t dealing with bugs inside the condo so they obviously keep up with extermination quite well.

Some have mentioned that this is an older complex in need of some updating. I would agree, but we didn’t find the condition to be objectionable at all. Molly’s condo is lovely, but the bathroom and kitchen could use a little updating. The shower head, especially, could be replaced as it’s quite clogged and the spray is limited as a result. Beach equipment (chairs, cooler, etc...) is not supplied with this condo so tenants will have to rent equipment if spending much time at the beaches. As mentioned above, Molly does supply many beach towels which were greatly appreciated! Also note that there is no laundry in the rental, but there is a nice laundry room that is either coin or smart phone operated.

Overall, a lovely stay and a place we would stay again!

Molly's unit at Casa De Emdeko was just what my husband and I needed. It is spacious for 2 people, has all of the amenities you would want at your own home and is cozy. The bed was comfortable and the AC was the perfect amount of cold after being in the hot sun all day. We loved the ocean view from the patio and that we were so close to the salt water pool, sandy beach and lounge chairs provided on the property. Our stay was wonderful. We would like to stay here again and will be recommending it to family and friends too.

Great location. Unit needs a little updating but was very pleased with the accessibility.

It was very convenient staying in this condo. We were able to do some meals in as well as laundry. We loved the salt water pool and watching the sunsets.
