Beautiful Spot!

This stay was amazing, the house was very comfortable for 4 adult friends, the view from the lanai with the sunset every night was amazing! The location was also prime to a lot of things, just a few minutes drive or a slightly longer walk to all the downtown places. House was clean, had all cooking things you needed and linens, towels, etc were all clean and plenty of them, would highly recommend!

Kona condo

The best thing about the condo was the view. But there were a number of negatives including outlet in second bathroom didn’t work, water pressure poor, no hot water for shower one nite. Windows very dirty had someone clean them. One slider wouldn’t open. And chairs and table outside were very uncomfortable and not what was in the pictures. Disappointed

The location couldn't be any closer to the water. The unit is very plain, needs to be decorated with Hawaiian theme. Right now it's just rooms that are very blah. It really can be nice if this is done.

Casa de Emdeko 138 - Jan 2024

Very nice unit and excellent location. Hard to beat the view and the calmness of the location. Clean, well managed. Everything we needed was there. The tables and chairs on the lanai are weathered, but otherwise, descriptions and photos are accurate. I appreciated the thoughtful complimentary goodies offered. Like others mentioned, the pass code to the pedestrian gate did not work, so we used the car gate. Parking inside the gate could be hard to find after 6 pm. But did not have a problem with finding parking just right outside the gate. Check-in is through a manual lockbox on the front door. Overall, very nice stay and would stay here again next time. Recommended.

Wonderful

Overall this was a five star stay for us. The condo has been nicely updated and is very clean. The location is top notch. The entire grounds are wonderful. Only hiccup (and it wasn’t much) was regarding the email we received containing check-in info. The WiFi connection information was outdated so we didn’t have WiFi for our first day and the entry gate code was wrong but we could walk through the driving entrance instead. Once we finally got ahold of Ryan he was quick to help.

Endemic 138

First off the location and view is over the top! We could not of asked for anything better. Most everybody in the complex actually live there so you won’t get a resort feeling when you stay here, which I actually loved that about the place. The 2 pools are wonderful and are rarely used by the tenants. One pool is a salt water pool which we loved. The other is a standard Chlorine pool which was also nice to be able to give you the option, say if you had younger kids to be able to swim. The mini beach area was to die for! Walk out your door to a beach and ocean! Now onto the living quarters. First off let me say that any WANT we needed were met with enthusiasm and promptness. The property manager was top notch with getting our needs taken care of. We had some issues with water drains which were taken care of quickly and professionally, the space is adequate for 4 adults. The kitchen and dining area was awesome. We loved all the space and view it gave us in the morning! Again let me be very clear you won’t be disappointed when staying here. There were small things that I want the owner to know about so that he ma have the knowledge to help make this place even better. 1. Gate security codes that were given were not correct. This was a pretty big issue when we got to the property. No one was there to help us. I had to get a resident to give me the code. 2. Parking. It would help if our place actually had a reserved parking spot.

Unbeatable location and views

Lots to like about this unit and a few not so much, but no deal breakers. On the positive side: exceptional location within the complex, great view, free coffee on the veranda, coffee grinder, nice beach towels, comfortable beds and pillows, bath rugs in the master are a nice touch, great kitchen. Not so much: parking, only 3 outdoor chairs, lack info (1st aid kit, fans & lights, parking), vent fan in bath inoperative, no patio lights, showers spray onto floors, not enough drying hooks/racks, no coffee scoop, no plastic wrap or foil, coffee pot does not shut off automatically (a safety issue), blinds in master dusty, primary photo of patio furniture is dated and misrepresents what actually is there (older table and 3 [not 4] chairs). We would rent again and recommend without hesitatation.

Beautiful location

Our family loved our stay at this property. It was very clean, updated and well equiped. The location seemed to be the best on the entire property for a panoramic sunset view. Lovely property grounds. There were a couple little things that could have been better such as extremely loud washer, and uncomfortable sofa sleeper. But all things considered we would give it 9/10 and would definitely choose this property again. We highly recommend a stay here!

The perfect location for sunsets and watching the ocean. Close enough for a longish walk to the center of town but far enough to be out of the noise and traffic. Close to all of the excursions and activities. We were there during the Ironman and walked to see start finish line activities and stood right out front to cheer on runners!

This condo was oceanfront and impressed just as advertised. Dawn and Ismael were fantastic to work with as I transitioned from a work conference to this lovely condo. Every night we were entertained with a beautiful sunset and a resident that came out and played his conch shell. This unit is conveniently located and just quick drive to town and local shops and restaurants.

A Little Bit of Paradise

This was a beautifully situated and well appointed condo. It was perfect for our family of four to come home to each night after our daily adventures. Every evening we ate our appetizers on our private lanai to watch the sunset. From the beach just outside our rock wall we watched eels and fish play in the tidal pools. This condo is situated conveniently near shopping, beaches, and other adventures.

Perfect place for a family vacation

The location and amenities were great. The host communicated well and made sure we had everything we needed. The property is a little older than it might look in the pictures, but it’s well taken care of, clean, and filled with friendly people. We’d go back again or recommend it to friends and family without hesitation.

Beautiful space, perfect sunset location

We loved our stay at Casa de Edemko! It was the perfect spot for catching those famous Hawai’i sunsets and watching the waves crash onto the rocks. We even saw sea turtles grazing in the surf at night. It was magical! The space was perfect for 4 of us and we loved the location. We would definitely recommend this to friends and will likely book again when we make it back to the Big Island.

Great Location

The location on the property is what makes this unit great. You can sit on your porch and have an oceanfront view and a community shared sand area. Every evening, a large group of residents gather to see the sunset right in front of the porch which can be an upside or downside depending on how social you are. There is a rocky tide pool area with fish and eels to view but no sandy beach to walk into the ocean from but those beaches are not far at all from this location. We had some slight issues with a neighbor’s remodel effecting our internet for a few days but the property manager was ultra responsive and coordinated many people to get it resolved as quick as possible. There were a few maintenance issues and the manager was quick on that too. A few more items in the kitchen would have been nice to have like a cutting board and maybe storage containers. There is free coffee in the common area in the mornings and a few has grills in the common area which was very cool. The salt water pool was also awesome and never busy. I definitely recommend this place for a solid vacation base camp.

AMAZING location!! (little room for improvement)

I am confident in saying we had the best condo in the whole building. It was the condo immediately in front of the beach and the location COULD NOT be any better. We were greeted with a sweet personalized note from the owner as well as chocolate covered Mac nuts and pineapple cookies. It was a very thoughtful touch. The overall cleanliness of the condo was great. It came very well stocked (note to owner-your wine opener is broken.) and had a ton of fun beach items (umbrella, chairs, san toys, etc. Beach towels would be a great addition). Also a washer and dryer was IN the condo! That came in clutch with my family because I have two kids. So why the four stars? Although only one complaint it does have significant value-mold. There was a thick layer of mold on the A/C vents. It was thick throughout most of the vents and while I do understand its hard to keep under control being so close to the ocean, I do believe it should be a priority. My husband ended up cleaning the vents. We did go without A/C one night which was detrimental to my husband and he called twice to try and get it fixed. Turns out, it was out for the whole building but we learned that from a neighbor, not the owner or repair guy. A little communication can go a long way but we are happy to report that they got it fixed the next day. The master shower has an enormous shower head that gets water all over the floor and to the toilet no matter how hard you try not too. I suggest a different head, even though that one is really nice...it just doesn't work for that shower. Overall-we would stay there again! The location can NOT be beat and Im praying that it survived the huge wave Kona just had. The pools are great and to the left of the property is a great place to explore the tide pools. Look for the heart wall and add your own! Thank you to the owners of this property. You have a fantastic place and with just a tad more attention, it would easily be a five star place for us!!

Deferred maintenance should be a deterrence

This property could be so much better. The pluses: Location, beachfront, size. The property minuses: minimal parking, no hot tub. Our experience: Check in was easy. The property managers to a person were pleasant, helpful, full of great ideas, and responsive. The problem appears to be the property owner, who has been unwilling to put forth basic maintenance on the property. These are the major issues, and I have photographs: The screen to the front door was broken, and the lock rusted, and sticking. The slider to the patio door had a broken door handle, which made it very difficult to open. Most of the windows in the living room had absent or broken shades. Someone had hung up two shower curtains over the sliding glass doors to the poolside patio for minimal privacy. This had to be lifted out of the way to try and get out the (broken) door. The property managers indicated the owner didn't think that privacy was necessary, and they were awaiting permission to fix or replace the screen door. Since it was my daughter and I staying in the ground floor beachfront condo, we certainly enjoyed the view, but felt like zoo animals as anyone on the seawall, on the sand, doing morning yoga, or sitting in the pool and patio area could see into the condo. The master bath shower was plugged. A handyman tried to snake it, but it still backed up with gross goo and required a commercial plumber to come fix it a couple of days later. We arrived late Friday, and had workmen there through Tuesday... not ideal for vacation. The minor gripes: The shower head is installed so that it showers the floor in front of the toilet, and can't be adjusted downward. The fan in the master bath is quite low, and easy to hit when trying to blow dry your hair, or put it in a pony tail. Most properties in Hawaii supply beach towels. There were two bath sized beach towels. There were no dishwasher tabs for the small 18" dishwasher, but the manager was happy to bring some. Full disclosure: The property manager refunded two days of our stay because of our dissatisfaction with the condition of the property. When we left, the shower was draining, and the screen door had been fixed. Hopefully, the property managers will be able to facilitate further repairs.
