I was first under the impression that the property was a home but it turned out to be a condo. I was also under the impression that the property was beachfront access but it was not. With the weather turning out to be a little dicey it ended up O K. The property is well maintained but had some small problems that I am sure will be taken care of soon. Overall it was a great experience for my first trip to the big island. I would recommend it to a small family or a group of friends very highly. Parking was sometimes a problem, but with everyone charging for parking I can understand. Beach view is great.
We loved it here. This is so close to the ocean and very private for a condo complex. We loved watching the waves crash on the sea wall while sitting on the lanai. The bedrooms are comfortable and the showers are clean. When we arrived, there was a mechanical problem with the A/C, but the manager brought in a repairman from the other side of the island to put in a new blower unit. This unit has two sliding doors, one facing the common area and one facing the ocean. That was so nice for cross breeze when we had the A/C off.The salt pool is awesome! Sometimes the ocean waves would splash over the sea wall into the pool adding to the ambiance. Free coffee was available every morning at the common area right outside the unit. It was easy to find the unit and to get in with the security codes. There was plenty of parking, and sometimes we parked right in front of the unit. The kitchen was very well appointed with nice appliances and even a dishwasher. Hint: the oven seems to work best on the "roast" setting. The manager left whole-bean coffee for us to enjoy. It was awesome! The unit is stocked with plenty of bath and beach towels and other beach stuff.We had a great time, here.

Had an amazing stay at this property! The ocean-front view cannot be beat (easily some of the best sunsets weâve ever seen). Our teens loved the saltwater pool-warm and again, fantastic view. Kitchen had everything we needed-bonus points for having a rice cooker!! Check-in and check-out was a piece of cake and the communication was fantastic. We were able to get back to the property before 5pm each day so was able to park right next to unit. Iâd imagine it would be a little more challenging if we had returned later in the day but still not a far walk. There was a convenience store located at the front of the property that had all the items we needed which saved us tons of time. Will definitely stay here again if we get lucky and itâs available!!

The apartment has wonderful views of the ocean. But it is a little dated. Finding parking can be tough. And most importantly the second bedroom is really small and has a sliding temporary door. Great for kids room but not enough if sharing between two couples.
Aloha Michael,
Mahalo for your wonderful review! Weâre so glad to hear you enjoyed the great location and beautiful property at Casa de Emdeko 138. Itâs great that check-in was easy and the condo had everything you needed for a comfortable stay.

Good location, close to town. Property is nice for a home base that's more reasonable than some other properties that would be considered more on the luxury side, but the grounds are well maintained and the place well-stocked, so no complaints (except maybe no AC in the bedroom and a very loud fan ticking :-) Overall, really enjoyed our stay and had good communication with the host.
Aloha Jenifer,
Mahalo for your thoughtful review and for staying with us at Casa de Emdeko 138. Weâre glad to hear you enjoyed the convenient location, well-maintained grounds, and found the home well stocked for your stay. Itâs also great to know communication with our team met your expectations.
We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the bedroom cooling and fan noise. Your comments are very helpful and will be shared with our team as we look at future improvements to enhance guest comfort.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable Big Island visit!

It was great ! Great view, suited us just fine. Only complaint was you donât always get a parking spot most nights we had to park way upfront out of the gates. Itâs can be a walk especially if your hauling luggage. For the money Iâd think you would have a place to park. But other than that the kitchen was pretty well stocked. Kids loved the pools. Sunsets are amazing and you have a front row view.
Aloha Dean,
Mahalo for your wonderful review! Weâre so glad to hear you enjoyed the amazing views, beautiful sunsets, and that the kids had a great time at the pools. Itâs also great to know the kitchen was well stocked and suited your stay well.
We appreciate your honest feedback regarding parking availability. We understand how inconvenient it can be when parking is limited, especially after a long day out, and we will share your comments with our team for review.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another Big Island getaway in the future!

Mahalo nui for your kind words! Weâre delighted to hear that everything was accommodating and that you enjoyed your stay at Casa de Emdeko 138. Weâd love to welcome you back anytime!
Mahalo,
The house is nice. The toilet seat in the guest bathroom is about 50 years old and the paint is all chipped. It looks really terrible. They need a few large pans, there is nothing to cook pasta in. The location is great and overall we really enjoyed it. It just needs a little care.
Aloha Debbie,
Mahalo for your feedback and for staying with us at Casa de Emdeko 138. Weâre glad to hear you enjoyed the great location and overall had a pleasant stay.
We also truly appreciate you pointing out the areas needing attention, including the guest bathroom toilet seat and kitchen cookware. Your comments are very helpful, and we will share them with our team so we can address these improvements and better equip the unit for future guests.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, we hope to welcome you back again for an even better stay in the future.

We enjoyed our two-night stay at this oceanfront unit. The location was perfect â being right on the ocean was a major highlight. The saltwater pool was enjoyable, and we appreciated having access to the grill on our first night. The unit was clean, comfortable, and had what we needed for a short stay.There were two minor hiccups during our stay. We didnât have WiFi the first day; however, the host was very responsive and quick to troubleshoot the next morning, which we appreciated. There was also noticeable foot traffic from the unit upstairs at times.Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would return. Mahalo!
Aloha Lokelani,
Mahalo for your thoughtful and detailed review! Weâre so glad you enjoyed your oceanfront stay at Casa de Emdeko 138âthe location, saltwater pool, and grilling area truly make for a special experience, and weâre happy you were able to take advantage of them.
We also appreciate your understanding regarding the WiFi issue and are glad our team could assist promptly. Thank you as well for noting the upstairs foot trafficâweâll keep this in mind as we continue to improve the guest experience.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and weâd love to welcome you back again for another relaxing stay by the ocean!
Mahalo,
The location was fantastic. The condo was clean and the welcome note on the platter on the kitchen bar w/Hawaiian cookies and coffee on it was special. A couple things that needed attention were handled immediately and with kindness and courtesy. It was a great week! We'll likely stay here again in the future if it's available.
Aloha Gregory,
Mahalo for sharing your experience! đ Weâre thrilled you enjoyed the ocean views and whale watching from the condo. Weâd be happy to host you again anytime!

Aloha Kathi,
Mahalo nui loa for your amazing 10/10 review! Weâre thrilled to hear you enjoyed the incredible views from Casa de Emdeko 138 đđŹđŠ and were able to spot dolphins, whales, reef sharks, and all the beautiful birds. It sounds like you truly experienced the magic of Kona right from your lanai!
Thank you for choosing Casago Kona. We would be delighted to welcome you back for another unforgettable stay.
Mahalo,
Great location, directly on the oceanfront. The complex is a bit dated, but the unit was remodeled and in decent condition. Beds were very comfortable. Lots of towels and a good amount of beach chairs and toys. The parking situation isn't great. There are 3 or 4 spots directly next to the unit but were never available our entire stay. In fact, we were never able to park inside the gates at any point during our stay. We had to park out in the liquor store parking lot. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning.Communication was bad. Both the microwave and oven were not working from day 1. We received a text from the management company asking us how our first day was, I responded by informing them the ovens were broken. No response. On the final day of our vacation, they told us they would send somebody over to repair. Obviously too late to help us but hopefully the next guests enjoyed the microwave popcorn we left behind!
Aloha Nick,
Mahalo for taking the time to share your feedback. Weâre glad to hear you enjoyed the oceanfront location, comfortable beds, and the well-stocked beach gear at Casa de Emdeko 138.
We sincerely apologize for the issues with the microwave and oven, as well as the frustration with parking and communication. This is not the experience we want our guests to have, and your feedback has been shared with our team to ensure these items are addressed promptly for future stays.

We had such a wonderful stay here! The place was spotless and very well kept, with plenty of extra towels provided. The grounds were quiet and peaceful, which made it easy to relax and unwind. The location is excellentâclose to everything, and we were treated to gorgeous sunsets every evening right from the property.The showers were large and comfortable, and we never had any issues with parking. Our host was extremely friendly, responsive, and accessible, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and perfectly located getaway with amazing views!
Very pleasant experience. Some small issues: parking is somewhat difficult. Several nights had to park up hill outside the compound. Grab bars in the showers and near toilets would have been helpful. Some repair detail in need were apparent but not serious. Views from the lanai are spectacular. Coffee at the communal bar in the morning was very nice. Access to the salt water pool needs attention.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and all of the great amenities this unit has to offer. We are looking into the minor issues reported in order to further improve upon the guest experience. Mahalo once again for choosing Casago Kona LLC and we look forward to welcoming you back.
We had a really nice stay! The view was great. It was very clean. AC worked. Grounds were well maintained. We were pretty happy with our stay. Couple things I wish had known before hand: The corner unit is next to the staircase for the upper floors. People frequently used them at night and woke us up. Parking spots are not assigned to units. Most of the time we ended up parking outside the gate in the additional parking area. The kitchen is on the light side. There was nothing oven safe. There were a few hiccups with our stay:One day there was scheduled maintenance for the building which resulted in no water or AC for most of the day. Our AC unit was leaking so there were a couple days that they had people working on it. One night bath tub faucet got stuck on for several hours. Fortunately for us, the property manager, Ryan, came to save the day. He was amazing! Beautiful view! Very peaceful crowd. We enjoyed the pool and the view most.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and all of the great amenities this unit has to offer. We are sorry you experience a few maintenance hiccups during your stay but Ryan is really great at getting things resolved quickly. Glad he ws able to do so. Mahalo once again for choosing Casago Kona LLC and we look forward to welcoming you back.
This condo was exactly what we were looking for: spectacular sunsets from the patio, relaxing in the salt water pool, great ocean views to watch for whale spouts...The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we could need. Beds were comfortable, and having fans and AC was much appreciated. Management was always available to answer any questions.We loved staying here and would definitely stay again!

This was our worst stay at Casa de Emdeko and will be our last. We had neighbors upstairs with two young children than ran and moved almost 24/7 throughout our entire stay. It was crazy.
During sunsets, we had people literally sitting on the other side of the wall where our patio was and obstructed our view and it lacked privacy.
The Internet was beyond slow and television was super limited on what we could access. Additionally, it took multiple calls to the property manager to get the screen door repaired, toilet repaired, and sliding glass door repaired.
Aloha Kurt. Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are sorry to hear that this was your experience at this location. While we do not have control over where beach goes sit nor the noise from the upstair unit occupant footsteps, we do have control over any maintenance issues reported. Upon issues with the screen door, toilet, and sliding glass door being reported our local manager did initiate calls to the maintenance technicians. The technicians did dispatch for these non-emergency situations as soon as possible so we are glad they were able to get them resolved during your stay. Also, our team continues to monitor the issue reported with the internet in order to ensure it is fully functional for all guests. Our guests have typically really enjoyed this particular unit so we are really sorry to hear it did not meet or exceed all expectations. We will take into account the items you mentioned here in order to improve upon the guest experience wherever possible. Thanks you again for the valuable feedback and for choosing Casago Kona.
We had a great stay! It was wonderful to wake up in the morning and have coffee gazing at the ocean. The location was great! The only two critiques are that the second bedroom is not separate. Thereâs a partition separating it which could be done better. In the master bath I hit my head on the ceiling fan in the bathroom. Two minor things in an otherwise great stay. Thank you.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and all of the great amenities this unit has to offer.
