Love Casa and The 136 Condo
by Ruth
5/5
We love Casa and the 136 condo. It is close to common area for night time grilling, social visiting, and viewing sunsets. The accommodations were good. I had seen in previous reviews that the shower hot water was a problem. We rarely got hot water in shower. Sometimes barely like warm. Didn't bother saying anything because it was known and not solved. We had hot water in all the sinks. Don't understand why it wasn't in shower. We appreciate the hair dryer, cooler, etc. All in all great experience at 136. We love Casa de Emkedo. Thank you.

Aloha and thank you for your feedback. We have fixed the issue with the hot water in the master shower.

Third Trip to Kona And Casa De Emdeko 136
by Russell
5/5
This was our third trip to Kona and Casa de Emdeko 136. We had a wonderful time again. The unit was very clean and well stocked with supplies. We really appreciated the new rollaway frames and mattresses. We are hoping to come again in 2026. Thanks for your efficient handling of all the details concerning our reservation.
Great Communication
by Katharine
5/5
As advertised, the location was great, and the place was as depicted in the pictures and description. I'm not sure if it was just our timing, but we had plenty of supplies—their “starter kit” was more than enough for our 4-—to 5-day stay. The rental property company was available if needed, and there was great communication before, during, and after the stay.
Better Than Expected
by Kathleen
5/5
Our experience with Kona Coast Vacations and Casa de Emdeko unit 136 was wonderful and highly recommended. Overall, the place was even better than expected, clean and very spacious, excellent kitchen; only thing was that master shower took a long time to warm up. Ground level unit would work well even for many with mobility issues; one short step up to front door, no steps out to lanai; a few steps down to pool area but if you can navigate those, the saltwater pool has a sloped entry with handrail. Gorgeous Kona sunsets every evening and can hear the ocean waves. We would stay again in a heartbeat!
Beautiful and Extremely Well Maintained
by Jerry
5/5
The condo complex is beautiful and extremely well maintained. Many are full time residents and the pride of ownership shows.
Our unit was 136; a 2 bed:2 bath unit in the ground floor. The unit was very clean, very well furnished and spacious.
The layout works well. The kitchen was well equipped and even had a full complement of spices. The complimentary box of macadamia nut short bread cookies from the Punalu'u bakery were so delicious we drove 1 1/2 hours to their bakery to get more😎
The patio was large and perfect in that it was a direct path to the garden/BBQ area. Very easy to go back and forth.
The salt water pool was probably the best pool I've been in; large, clear and easy to float in. Watching the waves crash against the rocks and occasionally having the splash hit the pool was cool👍
Residents participated in the traditional sunset blowing of the “pu” every night. It was beautiful.
We had an issue with the main TV on day 2. I called the Kona Coast contact and they sent one their repair techs out within the hour. He replaced the TV later that day. Awesome gentleman.
We loved this place and would definitely rent this unit again.
The only criticism I can think of is the main AC fan in the kitchen/hallway ceiling is very noisy and rattling. But we got used to it. The pull-down shades on the patio were broken on the down position which was OK. We were told repair parts were on order but hadn't arrived yet. They worked well in the down position.
Parking is very limited but we only had to park outside the gate 2 times. The rest of the time one of the 4 spaces by the unit were available.
The atmosphere, the grounds and garden, small beach, salt pool, all make this place amazing.
Thank you for the opportunity to stay here!

Wonderful Time at Casa De Emdeko 136
by Russell
5/5
We had a wonderful time at Casa 136. It was our second stay in this condo and we’ve already booked it again for January 2025. Our family was able to come this time and it worked out perfectly. The only thing missing this time was the recliner that was in the living room the first time. If a replacement recliner could be brought in that would be amazing. Thanks for your prompt attention to detail across the board. We feel confident booking through you.

Nice Upgrades
by Richard
5/5
Home is well appointed. Nice upgrades throughout. Beds were very comfortable and the unit is quiet. All the beach toys you need. Kitchen is large and the outdoor grills were nice. The grounds keepers clean grills daily. Along with raking the beach sand and cleaning the pools. The complex has security gates all around. The salt water pool is the highlight of the complex. Late evening float and swim with the waves crashing about 20 yards away. The sunsets are superb. Early morning coffee watching the outrigger paddlers go by. Easy drive to downtown Kona but a bit of a walk. Central location to the West end of Hawaii. Bring your own sugar and coffee. Most of the cooking spices are there but some were out in the spice rack. Water pressure not the best and hot water in the unit was more warm. Easy to overlook the little things because I love this complex. Made new friends every night for sunset appreciation hour. Parking is 1st come but usually I could get close to our unit. Loved having a bottom condo. Just a short walk to the pools and common area. Garden views were amazing. We were house hunting to relocate to the Big Island. Short drive to some of the best snorkeling in all of Hawaii. Mahalo for an amazing stay.

Property was as advertised on VRBO. Sunsets were very nice to watch each evening by the ocean. There was even a resident there who would blow his Conch right at sunset.

Once again we have enjoyed our stay at Casa de Emdeko. It's a great place to stay especially when you are on the ground floor and can sit in the common area with the BBQ's, Tiki torches and fabulous view of the ocean! Our unit was clean and fairly well equipped. Just remember to bring your own favorite spices, salt and pepper etc. We do recommend this unit!

Condo was Great!
by Mark

The condo was great for the 4 of us with easy, ground floor access to the common patio, pool and beach area. We enjoyed the social scene with all the tables on the patio filled each evening with people gathering for dinner and/or drinks ahead of sunset. Easy instructions and great communication for directions and checkin/parking pass. We found everything we needed for our stay and meal prep too.
Great Time!
by David
5/5
We had such a great time at the condo. We enjoyed each evening with the other residents and guests of the condo. The waves the last couple of days were massive, to the point of coming over the wall and overflowing the saltwater pool (very beautiful). The unit was very clean, the staff was great and we had everything we needed. We really had a fantastic & memorable experience there! My only suggestion would be to replace the cushions on the roll away beds. They are very thin so we used both cushions on a single bed. Otherwise....just perfect!
Nice Place!
by Paul
4/5
Nice place to stay but their were a few things needed. A privacy door for for the Master Bathroom and a musty odor when we walked in. TV's in bedrooms were for steaming only no cable Liked staying on the first floor. Very clean inside. Had a good time in the pools and beach.
__________________________________________________________________
Aloha! On behalf of the staff and management of Kona Coast Vacations, we very much appreciate you taking your valuable time to provide us with this very important feedback. The owner has taken your suggestions into consideration and installed a sliding barn door on the bathroom for privacy. There is a Spectrum app on the TV that allows you to watch cable TV.

This Condo Is at the top of the List!
by Dean
5/5
We arrived 30 minutes early, but we were able to enter anyway. The condo was everything we expected and more. We were very pleased with the large and fully equipped kitchen. The bath towels were plush and plentiful. The bathrooms and kitchen have all been tastefully remodeled. We especially enjoyed the central air conditioning during our stay. The overall decor is nice, the walk out ground level lanai has the closest vicinity to the pool, lounging area and BBQ's in the entire property. You should put this condo at the top of your list for this reason alone. An added bonus is the resident who provided a nightly sunset Conch ritual at the waters edge. We would definitely rent this unit again in the future.
Such a great place
by Dove
5/5
This place gives me the exact hawaii vacation experience I am hoping to have: waking up to the ocean wave, jumping into the salt water pool for a swim, relaxing on the beach to drink coffee and read, then venture out to wherever you want. Kids are extremely happy and safe playing around, enjoying the sand and watching sunrise/set. Having bbq dinner with friends at the communal gathering garden after a day out hiking in the rain forest or exploring the downtown kona. I would definitely book for longer time next time! It is great value for such a great place.
Great Amenities!

This ocean front apartment was beyond expectations. We had a family of 4 over thanksgiving, so two bedrooms were perfect for us. The stay was absolutely wonderful and this was by far my best vacation rental experience. Amazing location and only few minute drive to Alii drive and other famous beach and parks. It has a full kitchens and is incredibly well-stocked with just about everything you could need for cooking. Beds are very comfortable with super clean linens. There is a patio you can sit outside, and the ocean is literally out the door. Property management office for my reservation was very responsible and they were reachable every time when I called them. The whole resort is also well maintained and every morning I see staff members wipe the chairs and clean the sand area to get ready for the day. I cannot recommend their place enough!
Loved it!
by Colleen
5/5
We had everything we needed for cooking at home including a rice cooker and blender! The condo is clean and comfortable. There's plenty of room to set up a cot or two in the living/dining area if you need more than the two bedrooms. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. Both pools are nice... kind of small but still nice. The full time residents are friendly so long as you are respectful of their home. They gather in the courtyard for a conch shell blowing sunset ritual every evening. It is quite charming but be advised that things get quiet very shortly thereafter so if you're looking for a party, this wouldn't be the place. I will definitely stay here again. I loved it!

Everything we needed and a little more
by Bill
5/5
We stayed at Casa De Emdeko 136. I want to preface this review by saying that I'm in the vacation rental business back on the mainland. The Kona Coast vacation rental team were fantastic. From the time I booked the property, and throughout our stay, every person I spoke to was knowledgeable and energetic. David, the concierge, was an added bonus and super helpful. I would highly recommend picking his brain during your stay. As far as the condo is concerned, it was everything we needed and a little more. Bonus items: Beach towels, cooler, life jacket and boogie boards. The location was central to about anything you would like to experience. It more then served its purpose for what we were here to do. My family and I came to Hawaii to see the beauty of what the island had to offer. I read reviews about bugs, sheets not being cotton, the decor of the property and condition of the home. This is a tropical paradise and there will be bugs. I'm sure all the properties are on some type of pest control program but you cannot expect a house to be 100% bug free. I'm sure the cleaning companies spend thousands of dollars a year replacing sheets and towels that were misused during guests stay. What people need to realize is these vacation rentals are being used by the general public and quite frankly some people just do not respect them. I know from my own experience in this industry, owners and property management companies do their best to provide a great experience for their guests. They usually are under a tight time line to turn these homes. Give them a break and try to understand who is causing the issues that may arise when staying in a property. I can promise you the owners and management company do not go into the homes before a guest arrival and sabotage appliances, disconnect internet, dink walls, scratch pans etc... I rented this property with the understanding that things can and do go wrong. It happens at my own house. I don't expect compensation, I don't expect someone to be at my beckon call. I do expect a safe environment, within the home, and I received that. I didn't come to Hawaii to do a home inspection or critique a owners decorating style. I want to thank the owners for opening up their beautiful home to my family. I want to thank Kona Coast Vacations for being as helpful as they were. I don't need my hand held, but if I had any questions, they were there to assist. We have made some lifelong memories and I'm very grateful. I don't have time in my life to be so negative and critical. Come to Hawaii to enjoy all it has to offer not to see what you can get back during your stay.
Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Perfect Location: 20 minutes from Kona airport, 10 minutes from farmer market. The complex is very nice and well maintained. The unit 136 is just steps away from beach and the balcony just facing complex patio. I was told we can see dolphin in the morning. And my kids found couple soft shell crab's shells on the rocks.
Comfort and Convenient Amenities: The condo is lovely. Super clean with comfortable beds. New mattress and refrigerator. Ice pack and cooler to pack your picnic lunch. Sand toys, bodyboard and life jacket for kids to enjoy beach. To my surprise, there is a rice cooker!
Helpful property manager: not only timely communicate the booking and check in/out instruction, but also provide concierge service. We arrived two hours earlier before check in time, they were very happy to offer luggage storage service. Once they found out the condo is done with cleaning, they let us check in earlier.
Overall we were extremely happy! I would recommend it highly.
Very good!

Loved the condo. Really enjoyed the location. I always stay at The Casa De Emdeko when I visit the Big Island. The only problem we had was the water pressure in the condo was horrible :(( It was REALLY difficult to shower and wash our hair (Everyone in the condo had LONG hair) and do dishes. But other then that....It was great!
OWNER RESPONSE:
We are so sorry that you experienced poor water pressure during your stay. Be assured that the problem was addressed upon your departure. We hope that you think of us in the future when returning to the Big Island!

My son Scott and his wife plus one of my closest friends, Joe and his wife stayed in this magnificent 2 bedroom condo for 10 days to be here and help celebrate my 75th birthday. The accommodations in 136 were ideal and completely satisfactory. This unit is very close to the complex and just mere footsteps away from the huge common areas where the BBQs, cabana area, beach and the wonderful salt water pool. I cannot make a higher recommendation for this unit. It was perfect in every way.

very comfortable and well located condo
by Roger
5/5
We were familiar with it prior to renting it as friends had stayed there during earlier visits while we were renting unit #238. The condo is well maintained and the furnishing is very comfortable and easy to relax in. the lanai is terrific. Located where you get to great and chat with other residents/visitors. Any very easy to get to either pool. The only issue was nature caused; due to high surf the salt water pool was closed off and on during our stay. Not a huge issue since the regular pool is great. Made some new friends each day at the pool. This is our 7th or 8th visit to Cada de Emdeko. Can't say enough about the complex. We have gone to Maui and Kauai and keep coming back to Kona and The Casa. Looking forward to our next visit. Date of Stay: 8/31/17 to 9/8/17

I was extremely happy with my stay here! Before our arrival we receive numerous very helpful emails confirming our reservation, with details for our arrival, and from the concierge with helpful tips as well as options to book activities in advance. I have to say the concierge service was an absolute game changer! David was even better than a hotel concierge and personalized our experience - helping us with every activity and question that we had! Having this service made it a no brainer that I would return. The condo itself is in a super ideal location - a short drive (or walk depending on time of day) from town. We found it very easy to get to the beaches, restaurants, bars, marina, etc. We also had parking outside the unit which made it easy to get in and out of the building. The unit itself was very clean and beach-but feeling! The two bedrooms each had large beds and nice, big TVs and fans. The TVs had roku hooked up so we could watch all our favorite shows and movies (honestly didn't check if there was cable but probably is!). The living room / dinning room / kitchen is an open floor plan which made it easy to host a lot of people and feel very home-y. The kitchen had all utensils we needed and everything was clean. We could open the door from the living room and we had a patio that we could use to walk out to the pool / sand / outdoor bar area. At night there are tiki torches that were lit and made it feel very Hawaiian when we shared a bottle of wine at the community tables. The pool itself is large and pretty too - right over the cliff of the ocean! Definitely would recommend and plan to stay there again. Thanks for the great trip!
Perfect Place to Stay!

Casa de Emdeko 136 was the perfect place to stay. First off, the location was PERFECT. So close to the exciting town of Kona. Very easy to stop by an ABC convenience store late at night if we needed something...close to big department stores so we could get our mass hauls..and a short walk to the best coffee spots, breakfast hangouts, restaurants for lunch/drinks/dinner. The condo itself was fully stocked with everything we needed from towels to laundry items even a cooler for us to take on our picnic at the Volcano National Park. There were TVs in the living room and both bedrooms with Netflix and other streaming services available - which made it nice for when we just wanted to relax in bed for a few hours between activities or when we wanted to get to bed early for a long day. Even small conveniences like a light switch next to the bed!! That might have been one of my favorite features as who likes to get out of bed when you're comfortably settled? Love the backyard of the condo. There were torches lit at night, beach chairs for us, even a fun little bar open when we wanted to enjoy our own drinks privately. The views from our own backyard were incredible. Lastly, David with Kona Concierge felt like my personal vacation Siri. He offered great recommendations, helped book our activities and plan our daily itineraries...but he even answered every single random detail question I had, down to what should I order at this restaurant? Even while out and about if I got lost or had a real-time question, he was there and very welcoming We never met in person but I let like I left the island with a good friend and a vacation Siri for next time. Will definitely come here again and would recommend to all!! Date of Stay: 8/12/17 to 8/18/17

This condo is a lovely place to stay. We loved the first floor location - the patio was spacious with a place to relax and a place to eat. The first floor location make it easy to get to the pools and the common spaces. It was well furnished except for a few things. The lighting in one bedroom is very dim and the blinds in that room are older and difficult to work. We had a minor glitch over the entry code on arrival, but the managers were very responsive. Overall, we enjoyed our time there very much and would go back. Date of Stay: 2/9/2017 - 2/13/2017

5/5
We just got back from our delightful stay in Casa de Emdeko , unit 136. The place was immaculate, lower floor which means instant access to both pools, the BBQ', the roaring ocean and its dreamy view: in short, perfect! It was nice and quiet too, well located to the little village of Kailua/kona (short walk to Bongo Bens for breakfast and Huggos for Mai tais!) Actually, there was access to most anything you need for a great vacation. Telling all my family and friends about this reasonably priced gem. Date of Review: Jun 8, 2017. Date of Stay: May 2017

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental at Casa de Emdeko was just like the photos. Very big and clean with plenty of amenities. We cooked one meal in and had everything we needed. We used one one of the communal grills and found it very easy to go back and forth from the room since it was located right outside the room. The pool and beach were perfect for when we did not want to drive to find a beach. And not crowded at all. There are many shoreline access points nearby though. It is a little far to walk to the shops/restaurants in Kona but that was not a issue for us. We did have some AC issues during our stay. Management was responsive and even brought us some fans. We found cell phone service was non-existent inside, I assume because of the building construction type. It was easy to hook up to the internet and use that for phone calls (or go outside). Wi-fi was great throughout the apartment. I would recommend this place! Date of Review: Dec 21, 2016. Date of Stay: Dec 1, 2016.

The Host contacted us several times prior to our stay to help set up excursions and tours. We were so happy to have that help and guidance. The neighborhood was super quiet and very relaxing. There were grills on the shared deck space - very convenient!

We were very happy with everything about our Kona Coast Vacation Condo . We loved that our condo had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and that it was on the ground floor. We were so near the ocean we could hear the waves roaring every night. Casa De Emdeko was very near Kona's downtown so it was easy to get to numerous beaches , shops and restaurants . Our interaction with Kona Coast was professional and everything was as it was stated on line and in future emails. Thanks so much !

Location was good. Very quiet in the evenings. The building property was clean and pretty. The actual unit#136 was a nice large condo. Plenty of room. I would suggest that the owner put some money towards cleaning. Like shampoo the bedroom carpets, have the floors mopped and coat of fresh paint would be a huge improvement. The room smells pretty bad if the Windows are closed. Very musty smelling. Just needs some TLC. Also I think they could spring for a new bed.

We found the unit just as described. There was plenty of room for the four of us, the kitchen was well stocked with amenities, wifi was fast, and the outdoor space is terrific. The location of the unit on the ground floor near the bbq station, pool and sandy area was ideal for us. We loved watching the sun go down, grilling and eating outside! Housekeeping did a nice job. Everything was clean and in order when we arrived. As mentioned in previous reviews, there is a musty smell and the carpets in the bedrooms could use updating, but all in all we enjoyed our stay and would return.
