Step into your slice of paradise at Casa de Emdeko #134, a sanctuary where the ocean’s melody serenades you into serenity, positioned mere steps from a secluded beach and two inviting pools. This oceanfront complex, nestled within Kailua-Kona’s vibrant garden landscape, offers an unparalleled first-floor retreat, where every moment is a testament to tranquility and beauty.

Upon entry, the allure of Casa 134 is unmistakable, with its thoughtfully designed interiors that capture the essence of island living. The unique mirrored wall in the kitchen and living room amplifies the breathtaking ocean views, ensuring the majestic Pacific is always within sight, painting every room with the hues of paradise. The expansive lanai becomes your front-row seat to nature’s grandeur, where the horizon stretches endlessly, and each sunset is a private show.

Casa 134’s prime location, as the fifth condo from the ocean, places you steps away from dipping your toes in the warm sands or immersing yourself in the refreshing embrace of the saltwater and freshwater pools. Its proximity to the cabana and barbecue area makes socializing with fellow sun-seekers effortless, while the secluded spots offer peace for those moments of quiet reflection.

The condo is a haven of comfort, featuring a bathroom with twin sinks and an oversized shower, promising a rejuvenating start and end to your days. The bedroom, with a new queen-sized mattress, ensures your nights are as restful as your days are adventurous, providing the perfect haven for dreams filled with tomorrow’s possibilities.

Designed with your utmost convenience in mind, Casa 134 invites you to travel light, offering all the essentials for a worry-free stay. From beach towels to a fully equipped kitchen, every detail has been considered to ensure your vacation is about indulgence, exploration, and relaxation. The convenient first-floor location, close to parking, means your Hawaiian escape begins the moment you arrive.

Situated on the iconic Ali’i Drive, just two miles from the heart of Kailua-Kona, Casa 134 serves as your gateway to the island’s enchanting attractions. From your doorstep, the best of Kona is within reach, whether you’re drawn to the vibrant life of Kailua-Kona Pier, the immersive cultural experiences, or the endless aquatic adventures that await in the crystal-clear waters.

Casa de Emdeko #134 is not just a place to stay; it’s a destination in itself, a retreat where every day brings a new chapter of island magic, breathtaking views, and the warm embrace of Hawaiian hospitality. Here, in your private oasis, the best of Hawaii is not just seen but felt, from the soothing sounds of the ocean to the gentle breeze carrying the scent of tropical flowers. Welcome to your home away from home, where paradise isn’t just a concept, but your reality.

Perfect for couples
Very nice apartment for couples. The property is excellent, with a nice BBQ area, cosy "beach" ( sand area with lounge chairs) and a very nice saltwater pool. The apartment itself is smallish but more than enough for a couple. The lanai is very nice for both breakfast and dinner. Good value for money.

Cozy Condo
We really enjoyed this condo. The location, the salt water pool, proximity to your own private "beach" on the property. It was all wonderful. Perfectly suited for two. Thanks so much for making this home away from home available.

Beautiful view and attractive grounds
We loved staying on the ocean front amid so many flowers and birds. We enjoyed the two pools, fountain, and ocean waves. The attractive condo complex and gated parking were appreciated. The condo was in good repair and all the appliances worked well. We assume carpet and AC are on their list for routine maintenance as they seemed to be on top of everything else. The WIFI was met all of our needs. There were plenty of towels, the kitchen was well stocked, and the water was hot and strong.

Great stay
Molly was a great owner to deal with, her response time to any requests was always timely. She kept us up to date on everything especially with COVID around,, even telling us there was a broken drawer she couldn't get the parts to repair in time.. before our stay.. There were no surprises. Truly an amazing host.. The property was wonderful, a great location, right on the water, with 2 pools and its own small beach. The sunset from the property was amazing with a small nightly ritual from a Tennant. The property had all the amenities for a family, couple, group. The condo was a small one bedroom condo, clean. comfortable and perfect for any couple traveling to Kona. Will stay again on our next trip. Mahalo Molly...and Aloha

The complex and location is amazing! Hands down, no regrets. Love the salt water pool. The unit itself is nice, needs a few updates. Broken drawers, broken shower head, and a little outdated. All in all it was worth it.

Relaxing Oasis
Molly's place was a perfect location. Close to the action of downtown, but peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Molly was a great host. When we had a slight issue after checking in, she remedied the situation quickly. The saltwater pool was a huge bonus. Parking was never an issue and her home was clean and comfortable, with all the amenities needed if you wanted to cook. We would absolutely stay here again!

The Casa is the perfect location for exploring up and down the west coast, and 134 is the perfect condo for stepping out to the beach, pool and bbq. Nice view from the lanai.

The worst unit I've ever stayed at in Casa De Emdeko
The overall unit was dirty. Every dish had to be washed. The carpet was so dirty we could not walk on it with bare feet. Many things were broken or not hooked up. Blinds had to be left in the open position because the mechanism was broken. (privacy & security issue) There was a tub of water under the sink where the sink was leaking. All TV's cords were not connected to TV's or the outlets. Drawers were broken in kitchen. We were left little to no supplies (TP, paper towels, dish soap, body soap, garbage bags) The cleaning lady came 1 week into our 2-week stay (at night) and even after saying we were there entered into the unit. (security issue) The phone rang daily. When we finally answered it, it was her pharmacy indicating she had a RX ready. When I ask the housekeeping staff, they said the lady lived there. A lot of personal items were there. The internet PW we were given didn't work. The beach towels were old, faded & raggedy. We reported these issues to VRBO but got nowhere. We submitted pictures and called repeatedly. VRBO is totally unresponsive. We paid a premium price and got a disgusting place. Once your in Hawaii, you dont have a lot of choices. I was with the man I loved, and that was all I needed.

Loved Our Stay
My spouse and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa de Emdeko #134. Molly, the owner, is a gracious and kind host and we enjoyed our interactions with her from start to finish. The condo is in an excellent location right on the ocean (no beach). It’s about 1 1/2 miles from downtown Kona and close to many amenities (shopping, restaurants, etc...). In the front parking lot is a great little convenience store that we used several times. The condo was pristinely clean when we arrived. It’s also well-appointed with just about everything one would need for a stay. The bed is quite comfortable, there are TVs in both the living room and the bedroom, the condo features a full-sized kitchen with all items needed for cooking, and the living room features a very comfortable couch and two rattan swiveling chairs. The view from the condo patio is quite lovely and you’re just steps away from the complex beach and salt water pool in this unit. I especially appreciate the number of towels supplied - both for bath and beach. Often condo owners supply a very limited number of towels, but Molly has stocked her linen closet very well. We especially appreciated having the A/C in the condo, which does a great job of cooling the condo down during hot afternoons. The condo is extremely quiet and peaceful - no problems with noise! The complex itself is quite beautiful and very well maintained. Clearly the management takes great care in keeping up the property. There are two pools, several garden areas, and plenty of secured parking. This is also the first time we’ve been on the islands where we weren’t dealing with bugs inside the condo so they obviously keep up with extermination quite well. Some have mentioned that this is an older complex in need of some updating. I would agree, but we didn’t find the condition to be objectionable at all. Molly’s condo is lovely, but the bathroom and kitchen could use a little updating. The shower head, especially, could be replaced as it’s quite clogged and the spray is limited as a result. Beach equipment (chairs, cooler, etc...) is not supplied with this condo so tenants will have to rent equipment if spending much time at the beaches. As mentioned above, Molly does supply many beach towels which were greatly appreciated! Also note that there is no laundry in the rental, but there is a nice laundry room that is either coin or smart phone operated. Overall, a lovely stay and a place we would stay again!

Relaxing Vacation Spot
Molly's unit at Casa De Emdeko was just what my husband and I needed. It is spacious for 2 people, has all of the amenities you would want at your own home and is cozy. The bed was comfortable and the AC was the perfect amount of cold after being in the hot sun all day. We loved the ocean view from the patio and that we were so close to the salt water pool, sandy beach and lounge chairs provided on the property. Our stay was wonderful. We would like to stay here again and will be recommending it to family and friends too.
