About this property

Keokis Kona Oceanfront Rental

If your dream of Kona is coffee at sunrise, waves in stereo, and sunsets so close they warm your cheeks—this is the place. Keoki’s Kona Casa sits right up front at Casa de Emdeko on Aliʻi Drive, with an L-shaped lanai essentially hovering above the oceanfront saltwater pool. It’s the rare spot where you can watch spinner dolphins in the morning, count whales in season, and be in the heart of Kona by afternoon. The condo itself was remodeled down to the studs—everything inside is fresh, thoughtful, and built for easy island living.

What makes it special
Closest-to-the-ocean setting: The lanai is mere steps from the oceanfront saltwater pool—no other unit sits this uniquely on the edge of the action. You’re front-row for sunsets and trade winds, without sacrificing privacy.
Fully rebuilt interiors: A complete, to-the-studs renovation delivers a custom kitchen, sleek baths, quality furnishings, and smart layout—zero “dated condo” vibes.
Comfort for couples or families: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths (king in the primary, queen in the guest) plus extras to sleep up to 6; central A/C and in-unit laundry keep the stay effortless. Ground-floor access and single-level flow make it easy for everyone.
Resort amenities you’ll actually use: Casa de Emdeko offers two pools (a serene garden freshwater pool and that iconic oceanfront saltwater pool), a sandy sunning area by the seawall, oceanfront BBQ/cabana pavilion, and beautifully kept tropical grounds with a friendly, low-key vibe.
Close to everything: You’re on famous Aliʻi Drive—about a mile or so to Kailua Village for cafés, shaved ice, the farmers’ market, and the pier for snorkel trips and fishing charters.

Inside the condo
Chef-ready kitchen with island, new appliances, and thoughtful stock
Open living area that spills onto the wraparound lanai (the money spot)
Primary suite with walk-in shower; guest room and second full bath
80 inch Smart TV, fast Wi-Fi, beach gear, and plenty of storage for longer stays

On the grounds
Oceanfront saltwater pool for wave-watching and sunset swims
Garden-courtyard freshwater pool for quiet lounging
Sandy sunning area (no ocean entry here—great for relaxing)
Oceanfront cabana with BBQs and tables for golden-hour dinners

Good to know
Casa de Emdeko is a gated, well-maintained community with a congenial, mostly adult atmosphere—ideal if you want peaceful oceanfront time without the mega-resort buzz.
Central A/C is available (not a given in Kona condos), and parking is on-site.

Why guests pick this one (and then rebook)
The combination of true front-row ocean positioning, a top-to-bottom remodel, and walkable Aliʻi Drive convenience is unusually hard to find in Kona—especially with a layout that works for two couples or a small family. If you’re coming for sunsets and sea spray, you won’t do better.

Fantastic stay and wonderful location

Well appointed and spacious condo with everything we needed. This place was perfect for our party of three and roomy enough to host nearby friends for dinner and sunsets on the lanai. Automatic hot water dispenser was super handy for morning drinks!! A very special place thank you Keoki for our memorable stay!

Gorgeous condo

My family of four enjoyed our first trip to Hawaii made possible by this wonderful property. My kids loved the pools and we loved morning coffee on the rocking chairs on the lanai. We couldn’t have gotten closer to the waves. We enjoyed the lovely scenery and spectacular sunsets every night. Would definitely stay there again.

Kona Wonderful

You can not get closer to the ocean than this unit...the pictures do not do it justice. Everything was top notch. Keoki and Lynne were such a pleasure to work with and LOVED Lynne's Pineapple Infused Vodka. The saltwater pool is literally feet away as is the huge BBQ area and of course the Pacific Ocean. You do not have to leave the property to see sunset, it too is right outside you lanai. Thank you Keoki and Lynne !!!

Not Perfect but Perfect

One of the biggest VRBO's in Hawaii, along the beach, that we have stayed in. Great location! The pool right outside the condo, with the waves crashing into it during high tide, was amazing to sit back and enjoy. Had a hiccup with the gate codes and people stomping around upstairs, but overall, it was a very nice, perfect stay.

Amazing location whale watched from the covered pourch

Our group was Two couples staying. It was perfect with a fully stocked kitchen and grills outside we cooked every meal at the condo. In unit laundry was great, air conditioning was nice. Our favorite thing was sitting on the back porch watching the ocean, when we got here the waves were 12 ft tall and now a calm one foot. We saw more whales from the ocean facing pourch then we did on our whale watching tour lol. The ocean front salt water pool was great. If you get a chance check out Ali'i saltwater swimming pool about 200 yards down the road is a public access you can walk there, the pool locals and tourist hang out at, waves crash in it from the ocean during high tide occasionally. Host was great and very helpful. Thanks for letting us stay at your slice of paradise.

Fabulous stay

This condo is amazing! Fully updated, location of the complex and condo itself were perfect, all amenities you could imagine! Fully stocked kitchen, extra garbage bags, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, plenty of towels - including 4 beach towels, washer & dryer in unit, a few laundry detergent pods; bug spray; aloe for sunburn; shampoo, conditioner and travel size body wash & soap; air matress with sheets, quilt and extra pillows. Boogie boards, beach chairs & umbrellas, a foldable wagon. It literally is the best unit in the complex! Never an issue with available parking. The convenience store out in front of the complex was awesome - our high school kids could run up there to grab drinks and snacks. My husband and I ran up quite a bit ourselves - they carry everything and open early and stay open pretty late.

Paradise on Earth in Kona

Our stay at Keoki’s Kona Casa was heavenly. The condo is located as close to the breaking waves of the Ocean as possible. The L-shaped lanai overlooks the facility’s salt water pool. How amazing to begin the day watching the sunrise. And whale watching too! The condo itself is outfitted with a complete and fully stocked kitchen, two big bedrooms, two nice bathrooms and a great tv sitting area. Keoki and his staff have thought of all the special amenities; in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry rooms. They also provided beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, and pool noodles too. And the town of Kona is walking distance and also on the free trolly route. We loved our stay. We did yoga in the morning, coffee/tea on the lanai, beach in the early afternoons, bbq dinners and watching the incredible sunsets at night. All while hearing the sounds of the ocean, day and night. We celebrated my husband’s 70th birthday at the condo that is paradise on earth. Thank you Keoki and your fabulous staff. Mahalo!

Hawaii the Big Island 2025

The property is very nice. Can't beat the location. We decided not to move around spending a few days at different locations. I'm so glad we only stayed here. The drive to anywhere on the Island wasn't that bad from our location. Map a few things out in area you want to go and then come back to the view and comfort of this condo. We were all over the Island. Every direction. This Island is beautiful! The people were very nice too. We were blessed as well to view episode 16 Kilauea Volcano. The views from the condo are front and center to the ocean. So peaceful. The BBq pits were cleaned everyday along with clean up in sand area and pool. I wish there were a more parking but the few times we had to park outside the gate we had no problems. The property manager mother lives close by. We couldn't get the safe to work and she came right over. Lynne (mother) was super nice and I felt like I knew her for a long time. ha If I lived on the Island I'd want to be her friend. Property manager is lucky to have her help. The condo complex is very nice and well kept up. We never saw trash laying around on the grounds etc. It was stocked well and everything in working order. I know I bounced around a bit on the review.... but bottom line we would definitely stay here again. Mahalo for a wonderful stay.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Keoki McCarthy Lives in Seattle. He purchased this property with the idea of having the most sought after 2 bedroom condo on Alii Drive. Keoki was born and raised in Hawaii and used to deliver pizzas to these condos as a teen going to Konawaena High just up the hill.

Why they chose this property

Because there are oceanfront condos—and then there’s this one.

Keoki’s Kona Casa isn’t just near the water; it’s right on it. The lanai sits next to the oceanfront saltwater pool, where waves crash just beyond the seawall and sunsets feel close enough to touch. Every morning starts with the sound of surf and ends with the glow of the Pacific, framed by swaying palms.



Inside, everything is brand new—completely rebuilt from the studs up. The kitchen gleams with stainless steel, quartz counters, and local art accents. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are beautifully redone, the lighting is warm and modern, and central A/C keeps everything comfortable. You get the vibe of a boutique hotel, but with the privacy and personality of a home.



Casa de Emdeko itself is one of Kona’s most beloved oceanfront communities. Guests love its two pools—one freshwater surrounded by tropical gardens, and one saltwater right on the ocean’s edge—as well as its sandy sunning area and open-air BBQ cabana. The atmosphere is friendly, peaceful, and distinctly Hawaiian.



This unit is the one you book if you want:

A front-row seat to the Pacific with no buildings or courtyards in your way

A fully remodeled, modern interior that feels luxurious but relaxed

Direct access to pools, BBQs, and the best sunset spot on the island

Quiet comfort in a gated community just minutes from Kailua Village

The ideal mix of privacy, beauty, and convenience

What makes this property unique

True ocean-edge position: Many units in the complex have ocean or garden views, but yours is front and center next to the saltwater pool on the oceanfront edge. That gives you a clear standout location.

Premium remodel: While other units may have updates, you emphasise that yours is “by far” the most remodeled. That means you can command higher rates, attract discerning guests, and differentiate.

Walk-out / minimal obstruction: Being at the front means easier access to the pool/lanai, quicker path to the amenities, better trade-wind flow, stronger lanai views.

Dual-pool access + beachfront lounge: Casa de Emdeko offers both a garden-courtyard pool and an ocean-edge saltwater pool plus a sandy sunning area. Those together create a resort-style offering seldom found in standard condo rentals.

Aliʻi Drive location: You’re on Kona’s main scenic ocean-drive, still very close to downtown but far enough for calm. That balance is attractive.

Strong guest experience potential: With a remodeled interior plus beachfront lanai, you can turn guests into raving reviewers who highlight “best view,” “best layout,” “top kitchen”—which further drives bookings.
