Kitchen and Bath Remodel! - Ocean Front - Central Air - Featured on Today Show

Major kitchen and two bathroom remodel Includes new appliances, granite countertops, custom stone and ceramic tile work. New leather sofa and loveseat.

Owner-operated and continually updated! Excellent rental history and outstanding guest reviews.

Unwind at this beautiful oceanfront resort property situated in a lush tropical paradise with an "Old Hawaii" feel. Surrounded by heavenly-scented plumeria, flowering hibiscus, ginger and brilliant bougainvillea, your cares will melt away as you relax on your own private lanai, just 100 feet from the ocean! Sip a morning cup of Kona coffee while watching humpback whales or spinner dolphins. Enjoy spectacular sunsets from the private palm-lined beach just steps away, or lie on the lanai's twin-sized lounger gazing up at the stars while listening to the sound of waves crashing on the lava rocks below.

This condo is spacious (nearly 1300 square feet) and feels like a real home with its spectacular ocean views and central air conditioning! There is no additional charge for running the AC during your stay.

You will also enjoy ultra-high speed internet WiFi service, living room with big screen HD Smart TV with Spectrum HD Cable (cable and flat panel TV's in both bedrooms, too), DVD player and library, dining room and full-sized kitchen. The kitchen is complete with coffee maker and grinder, Brita filtered water pitcher, waffle maker, blender, martini shaker, and all the necessary cooking utensils and dishes for preparing meals at home if you choose. The primary bedroom has a California King size bed and private bath with double sinks and walk-in shower; there are sunset ocean views from the primary bedroom. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed and another bathroom just across the hall. There are also beach towels, coolers and a beach umbrella and chairs for your use. We have completed a major kitchen and bathroom remodel in addition to redecorating and updating the unit to make your stay even more enjoyable. This is a non-smoking property, including inside the condo, on the lanai, and all of the common areas and grounds of the complex.

Amenities of the resort complex include lush tropical gardens with fountains and many blooming plants, a courtyard swimming pool, private sand beach with palm trees, cabana with shower and restrooms, gas grills for outdoor cooking, outdoor eating area with tiki torches, and a spectacular ocean-front salt-water pool and sunning area. There is also free secure private parking, an on-site laundry facility, and a commercial building with beauty and barber shop, spa, and convenience store/deli for picking up food items or a bottle of wine. There is an area where you can fish just steps from our front door!

We are located in the popular and highly-rated Casa de Emdeko complex on world-famous Ali'i Drive, just one mile south of Kailua-Kona village, the quaint and original resort town of the Big Island, with many wonderful shops, galleries and restaurants. We are also close to Keauhou Bay with its many water activities. In fact, this condo is the perfect base to explore all the attractions of the Big Island. We will share with you a list of our favorite things to do, places to eat, day trips, etc.

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING we needed to make our stay comfortable and inviting had been thought of and was available. The home clean and welcoming. Thank you for the generous “care Package” with its delicious coffee, macadamia nuts and treats. We especially loved the bottled water and the Brita water filter which allowed us to make delicious coffee. Other guests were quiet and respectful in the public spaces. Loved the Blowing of the Conch as the sunset. Mahalo for sharing your home with us.

Excellent Stay

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Casa de Emdeko. The property itself was great, but the lanai really bumped it up to the next level. We also really enjoyed that there is a small market right behind the property. Would definitely stay again.

Quiet Vacation

We appreciated having this comfortable condo as our home base for our family vacation. The kids picked up that this is a quiet condo community, and went with it. They had lots of fun in the pools and on our beach excursions, but this location also allowed us all to have needed downtime and kitchen conveniences in a peaceful place.

Incredible view!

We spent a wonderful 4 weeks at Casa Kona. Relying on the reviews of others, we booked it sight unseen. We loved it and are going back again next year. Even though I am handicapped it wasn't challenging to move around the property. The salt water pool was my sister-in-law's favorite amenity even though she has her own at home. You will enjoy your stay!

Charming Renovated 1960’s Condo Unit Meets Melrose Place

What a find! The location of this condominium is superb. Within a short drive into Kona, coffee plantations, & southern beaches. The condominium grounds were well maintained with beautiful trees & shrubs. This is a gated small condominium unit that we assumed was built around the 60’s, which lends itself to a charm that you cannot find. And with a renovated unit, it’s the best of the old & new. At night, the place comes alive and residents congregate around the saltwater pool & gazebo & await a resident to blow the conch shell as the sunsets. Our kids awaited this every night. The permanent residents & guests were all extremely nice. The saltwater pool was larger than depicted in the photos and well maintained. We would stay here again simply for the beautiful views from the lanai and the many seating options. The condo is well maintained & clean. The kitchen is well stocked with smaller appliances & condiments. We found the large kitchen appliances to be a bit dated with the oven and stovetop tricky to operate. Completely not a big deal when compared to all of the strengths this listing has to offer. We would stay here again & have been recommending this listing to our friends interested in visiting The Big Island.

Beautiful views, well appointed, spacious condo!

Great condo for two friends, couples, or a family. Fantastic views of the ocean from the deck or step out the front door for majestic sunsets. Great location to explore the whole island...which we did! Magic Sands Beach is a fun place to enjoy the ocean, but may not be suitable for small children. Easy access to Kona for cocktails & dinners, although staying in at the condo for the same is fabulous too! Owners are great to work with and very responsive!

Great condo! Highly recommend!

We stayed here for 5 nights and had an amazing time. We really loved this condo. Spacious, comfy lanai with a beautiful view. Large well equipped kitchen. We highly appreciated the central AC which worked great! When we were there it was very quiet. It felt like we had the place to ourselves, with sometimes just us in the pool area! It was also great that it had an area to grill. Brent, the owner was very communicative and accomodating. We will be back!

The Absolute Best Stay

This was our first time on the Big Island but our 7th visit to Hawaii. We have always had wonderful vacations but we all agree that Brent’s place really made this trip so special. Waking up to the ocean and coming home to a gorgeous sunset after a day of exploring the island was really beyond words. Beyond the condo being lovely and having the best ever Hawaiian vibe, the location was perfect! It was a short drive to Kona and a mid spot for visiting other parts of the island. Brent was also a wonderful host. As we were traveling there was talk about the approaching hurricane and when we contacted him he responded quickly to all of our concerns and questions! As it turns out, the Kona side is pretty protected! Another big plus for this location!

Outstanding

Stayed here in December 2024 and this unit was outstanding. The photos don't do it justice - it's absolutely beautiful and very very large. The unit location has a nice view of the water, pool and the BBQ/community area, but it is still very quiet and amazingly private. Lovely, friendly and secure complex. Great saltwater pool and the sunsets were fabulous. Enjoyed the nightly conch shell and the feeding of the eels with the residents! Hosts were top notch as was the gift basket, the unit instructions, the restaurant recommendations and the really well stocked kitchen. Highly recommend - this unit is a true 5 star!

Complex and unit itself was older. There was gated parking which was good. Other parking was available. Nice to be on second floor & close to ocean (distance from elevator had 8 steps/16 stairs from another direction) Very nice ocean view from lanai which was very comfortable. Complex had small beach and 2 pools. Grill area was nicely landscaped. Check in worked fine. Appreciated welcome basket with coffee, cookies and candy. Nice to have air conditioning although temperature needed to stay at 75. Additional fans appreciated. Notebook provided had good information. Lots of instructions and additional notes for many things throughout unit. Succinct few pages on counter would be good like ones sent. Bathrooms updated but rest of rooms were dated particularly kitchen. Very basic kitchen alliances and items. Dishwasher did not fully dry dishes and limited dishtowels provided. Nice to have Brita water purifier. Internet was not consistent. Unable to use TV in second bedroom at all during stay. Would have been nice to have luggage racks for suitcases. Did have some coins to use for laundry. App was not easy and had to spend 20 to do 2 loads of laundry. Bedroom lighting dim. Good size dining room & Living room. Enjoyed hearing waves at night since we were so close to ocean.

Gorgeous Condo on the Beach

We have stayed at many condos in the Kona area over the years and this stay was by far the best! The unit was well appointed with a fully stocked kitchen for all cooking needs including condiments, oils and seasonings. The large, beautiful lanai overlooks the salt water pool, patio area and beach. This beach is a front row seat to the sunset directly in front of you and several of the full time residents blew their conch shells to give thanks for the day as the sun sank into the sea. It was magical. Afterwards we retired to the lanai for dinner and a relaxing evening listen to the waves below us. We highly recommend this stay.

Great vacation rental on the Big Island!!!!

The condo was awesome!! The owner Brent was The BEST!!! Communication was great!! My family and I stayed for 3 nights but wished we could have stayed longer. The welcome basket made us feel special and had great Hawaiian treats. The condo was in a prime location!!!! Beds were very comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with a Brita water filter too. Free parking was nice. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella, snorkels, cooler etc. provided was a big bonus! Also Brent went above and beyond and returned some rental equipment that we accidentally forgot to return. Would highly recommend this condo and owner and would definitely stay again.

FANTASTIC GETAWAY

Brent & Jeff were very easy to communicate with and had a wealth of information on the Big Island of Hawaii. Upon arrival to the condo, we found it in immaculate condition. Everything was clean and ready to go. The furnishings and decor made it feel like home. Although we did not cook there, we noticed a kitchen full of stocked items as well as some seasonings. It was a very nice and quiet campus and you did not hear much noise at night. My husband & I plan to return and do more relaxing on the condo campus.

Relaxing Stay

Owners were so accommodating and delightful to work with. The Condo was very clean, decorated tastefully with great space, and well stocked with needs as stated. The air conditioning was a plus but didn't change the moist environment inside the condo. The master bedroom did have a dank smell which the owner was going to check into. The outdoor grounds were superb. The man made sand beach and (saltwater and non saltwater) pools were not over crowded and nicely maintained. We actually enjoyed it over going to the beach. If you are one not looking for hotel amenities (gyms, etc), but rather a low key area, this is the place for you.
