Experience the ultimate Big Island getaway in unit B 238, a premier oceanfront corner suite at Casa de Emdeko. Situated just 30 feet from the shoreline, this is one of the few places where the rhythm of the Pacific becomes the soundtrack to your stay.
The Highlight: Massive Outdoor Living While most condos offer a small balcony, B238 features a 700 sq. ft. wrap-around L-shaped lanai. This is your private front-row seat for:
* Whale watching and dolphin spotting directly from your lounge chair.
* Each evening, watch the sky ignite in color and listen to the haunting call of the pū (conch shell) as locals mark the end of another beautiful day.
* Al fresco dining with the salt spray and tropical breeze.
* Tucked into the corner of the lanai is a custom-built, plush punee—the ultimate Hawaiian sanctuary where you can lose yourself in a novel or drift into a salt-air nap just feet above the breaking waves.
Sophisticated Island Comfort Inside, you’ll find 1,288 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed tropical living space:
Recent Upgrades:
The Social Kitchen: Elegant quartz bartops with stylish barstools, making it easy to enjoy a glass of wine or a Mai Tai while chatting with the cook.

Casa de Emdeko Amenities * This gated complex offers a "resort-style" feel with quiet, residential charm:

* Private Sandy Beach: Perfect for sunbathing without leaving the property.

The Perfect Location You are just 1.5 miles from the heart of Kailua-Kona village. Enjoy a scenic stroll or a 3-minute drive to world-class dining, vibrant shopping, and historic sites, then retreat back to your quiet oceanfront sanctuary.
A Note on Island Cooling To maintain the vintage charm of the property, Casa de Emdeko utilizes a central "chilled water" cooling system. This provides a gentle reduction in temperature rather than "ice-cold" modern A/C. For the best experience, we recommend closing windows/doors when the system is on, or simply opening the sliders to let the famous Kona cross-breezes flow through the unit.
Your Host When not enjoying the beauty of Hawaii, your host Phil Washburn can be found at Celebration Ranch in Roseburg, Oregon. We take pride in providing a clean, welcoming, and unforgettable "home away from home" for our guests.

Thanks so much! It was a pleasure hosting you. We’re so glad you enjoyed the sunsets on the lanai.
Condo was exactly as described. Best deck ever! We saw dolphins! Free parking in the gated lot. Condo has everything for a comfortable stay - all clean, organized, well maintained. The property is also very clean, comfortable, well maintained. Loved swimming in the ocean side pool. Highly recommend!

Thanks so much! We're thrilled you enjoyed the views and found the beds comfortable. We'd love to host you again next time you're looking for a great spot near the best local food and activities.
First, let me just say that the online photos don’t even do justice to how beautiful this rental is. The lanai is everything! We had breakfast on it every morning and spent most of our time watching outriggers sail by and we even spotted a few dolphins! What an experience! The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything you could possibly need. The owner’s communication was thorough and prompt. Would love to stay here again!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the lanai as much as we do—there really is nothing quite like starting the day with breakfast and a view of the outriggers. We're so glad you got to spot some dolphins, too! It’s those little moments that make the Big Island so special. We’d be delighted to have you back at the condo anytime!
This unit is amazing! The wrap around deck and huge living room make it feel extremely spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed and access to the complex and unit was smooth. The waves crashing could be heard all day and night and it was the best view for the sunset! We would absolutely rent this place again :)

We are so glad you loved the wrap-around lanai and the sunset views! There is nothing quite like falling asleep to the sound of the waves. We’d love to have you back again soon! :)
The property manager was very pleasant and accommodating. The previous visitors left fresh tropical flowers which was a wonderful surprise. The wrap around lanai was wonderful and the saltwater pool was amazing.
The host was very amenable and allowed us to check in a few hours earlier due to an early flight from Maui. Location was 10 minutes to some of the best snorkeling in Kona and 10 minutes to a lot of nice restaurants. However, on more than one occasion we ordered takeout for breakfast or lunch and ate on the large balcony with a gorgeous ocean view.
Great place with an incredible view. A/C was down due to maintenance, and we had payed a little extra for this place since it had A/C

Thank you for the review! We’re so glad you enjoyed those incredible views. We sincerely apologize again for the A/C being down during your stay. We aim to be very upfront about the nature of the cooling system in our older ocean-front building, and we appreciate your patience while the maintenance was being handled. We’re happy you had a great stay otherwise and would love to have you back!
The condo definitely has a view wow factor! It was a comfortable and clean space. It was great having both the salt water and fresh water pools. The kids loved it! We would return in a heartbeat!

Thank you so much! We are so glad the kids had a blast—having the choice between the salt water and fresh water pools is definitely a guest favorite. We're thrilled the 'wow factor' lived up to your expectations and we would love to welcome your family back in a heartbeat!
Wonderful apartment, great communication with owner when minor issue with the apartment complex came up (issue was resolved), we celebrated a birthday on the Lanai, great memories

Thank you so much! We are honored that you chose our lanai as the place to celebrate a birthday—what a wonderful way to make memories. We also appreciate your patience while we coordinated with the complex on that minor issue; we always strive to be as responsive as possible for our guests. We’d love to have you back for your next celebration!
Really enjoyed our stay here. Perfect home base to see all the Kona coast highlights, and the ‘private’ sunsets’ from deck were absolutely spectacular. Highly recommended all around!
This place is truly a hidden gem! Two pools, incredible sunsets and everything you could need from a vacation rental. There is something for everyone. Do not hesitate!!

Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure having you back for a second stay. We’re thrilled that you still find the condo a 'hidden gem' and that everyone in your group enjoyed the pools and sunsets. We truly appreciate your loyalty and can't wait to welcome you back for visit number three!
The views are incredible!!! The pools, the location, did I mention the views?! The wraparound lanai is everything and you will be left wanting nothing. Check in was easy and the condo was very comfortable. We can’t wait to come back.

Thanks Molly, so glad you enjoyed it. See you next spring!
This condo is FANTASTIC!! You can see and hear the ocean from almost every room. The wrap around lanai, the well-stocked kitchen and the well-appointed rooms make this place a must stay. (And you can’t beat the location and having 2 pools on the property!!!) Don’t hesitate. We will be back!
