We are glad you found everything you needed in the condo, we try to make sure it is stocked with coolers, ocean toys, and other goodies.

Casa was a wonderful place to stay in Kona. Cathie was amazing with communication and trying to be helpful in ensuring our stay was comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, the pools relaxing and having the ocean just steps away to watch the sunset was so amazing!! The only small negative was that the complex was working on the air conditioning so the one in the unit was not functioning properly. That said, it was still comfortable after getting acclimated to the island temps. Cathie offered to bring us extra fans to help. On check out day, we had a late flight out and she gave us a late check out which made our day go so much better!! I would and will definitely stay here again. Thank you Cathie and JP for the use of your lovely place while we were on the island.

Great place in a nice complex.

The condo was clean and had literally ALL the essentials. The bed was comfortable and the complex was quiet. The only heads up is there really is not an ocean view from the condo or the lanai. However, you are steps away from a beautiful salt water pool that is on the edge of the ocean. We will stay here again.
Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2017
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar, 2020
Thanks Sean! We are happy to hear you found everything you needed. No, although the unit is just steps from the ocean and outdoor dining area, it does not have an ocean view from the unit or lanai (unlike the second and third floor units). We found landscaping (instead of views) offers comfortable privacy and not dealing with stairs is a plus for us. When/if you return, we should be living on the island (we are moving permanently next May) and hope to meet you! Mahalo for your kind review.

Wonderful property

We loved this condo!! Cathie was wonderful. She was so fast in answering our questions and was a very gracious host. The condo was great and had everything we needed, plus some extra things we didn’t expect (beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, cooler). We felt very safe and welcome. We loved the location! It was close to our 2 favorite outings: Night snorkeling with the manta rays and hiking to the Captain Cook Monument and snorkeling there. We will definitely stay there again!

Friendly spot

A very nice condo with lots of supplies and equipment to make a perfect vacation. The landscaping is gorgeous with an endless shower of fragrant plumeria blossoms. Staff keep the grounds immaculate. Best of all is the friendly community of the resort with the lovely tradition of watching the sunset each evening, including the blowing of the conch shell, while enjoying the gorgeous oceanfront view. Can’t be nicer! And the hosts are near enough to take care of any problems. Great place!

A Wonderful Find!

I was initially looking at major Kona hotels for our stay, thinking they would be a 'safer / more convenient' choice than a Vrbo. Then Casa de Emdeko showed up in my search. I just knew at the time I booked it I had made the right decision - our stay confirmed it. We could not be more happy with the condo itself (private, quiet, comfortable) and Cathie's hospitality made us feel welcome. We'll be back!

The location of this place was the best! We loved hearing the ocean at night through the windows. The unit was homey and comfortable. It was also stocked with everything you could possibly every need to be able to cook, personal items, and even items for going on excursions! We also enjoyed having 2 pools and hearing the birds everyday. The only thing was it was hard to get parking at night if you were out late and would need to park outside the gate.

Great condo

This unit exceded our expectations for a condo in Hawaii. The unit was well-equiped with quality linens, kitchen tools and utensils (pots, pans, bowls,etc.)..perfect for those who like to cook while on vacation.The pantry was well-stocked when we arrived. Barbecue area is a friendly gathering place while cooking and sipping on a cocktail. The bed is very comfortable. Owners respond quickly to all calls and take pride in their unit. We will return soon.

Well equipped Well located

This ground floor oceanfront condo at Casa De Emdeko just south of Kailua is an excellent choice for a couple. It offers a very comfortable king bedroom, bathroom with double sinks. The kitchen and living room are small but provide everything you need. Would have liked a dining table but there is a table and chairs on the lanai. There is a fresh water pool and another salt water pool along the shore wall. The condo is a bit worn but is about to be remodeled. The owner was great to work with. Overall an excellent value.

About the host

Hosted by Cathie Becker

Host profile image
Picture of us in Kona on our wedding day (Summer Solstice, 2013). I purchased the property with a friend in 2002 but now John (JP) and I have full ownership. We are both retired and over six years ago we moved to the Big Island (from Corvallis, Oregon and Lake Tahoe,, CA) We love living in Hawaii where we spend most of our time bicycling, paddling, swimming, golfing, snorkeling, exploring out-of-the-way snorkeling spots and preparing fabulous meals for our friends.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! Beauty, serenity, ease in meeting new friends.

What makes this property unique

I love our private beach. There's nothing like getting up early and sitting on the sea wall with a cup of coffee and binoculars..watching for the whales and dolphins. Of course, in the evening it's the same thing, to watch the sunset, only it's with a Mai Tai.
