Ahhhhh...... PARADISE.OCEAN VIEW, Remodeled Ocean pool A/C, NO Stairs

Aloha, you have chosen not only beautiful, but safe place to stay. We are in a gated
***PARADISE...PARADISE...PARADISE *** WE JUST LOVE THIS LITTLE GEM AND YOU WILL TOO. This unit B-325, has the perfect location. We are on the third floor for fabulous ocean view and nobody overhead. NO STAIRS needed to get into the unit either. Just park and walk a few steps to the elevator. You can unload your car, (I like to borrow the cart from the laundry room) and just bring everything up to the condo without any stairs.....Please make sure to bring the cart back right away if you do borrow it. :)
Owning a piece of Hawaii has been a dream. We recently purchased this unit and have done updating and remodeling with new paint in all the rooms, new linens, flooring and bought a new king size comfy bed as well as other new furniture and decor. The living room has a flat screen tv, stereo, DVD player and added a new flat screen tv in the bedroom. The well stocked kitchen has a breakfast bar, dishes, beverage glasses, silverware, complete cooking utensils, a tea kettle, lettuce spinner, coffee grinder, blender, toaster, built in microwave, dishwasher, fridge, stove, oven., etc.We try to leave spices and whatever you find in the cupboard, feel free to use.

* There is free wireless internet where you can make free long distance calls to the US and Canada. Air conditioning is included.

We recently remodeled the bathroom with new fixtures, and glass block tiles.There are 2 doors for the bathroom, so if you have someone sleeping on the sleeper sofa in the living, you are able to close off your bedroom door to the bedroom. (Some of the units that are not remodeled, just have one door and everyone would have to come through the master bedroom to use the bathroom) There is a built in hairdryer and some toiletries available, as well as towels, of course and beach towels.
The bedroom's tropical touch is the added bamboo pole that has swagged island linen over the window.There are blinds for privacy. We recently purchased a new comfy king sized bed and all the linens. You can sleep with the windows open and fall asleep to the sound of the waves.There is an iron and ironing board in the bedroom closet.

* There are ceiling fans throughout.

*I love paying attention to every decorator detail to give the condo a very island ambience.

The living room has a a queen size sleeper sofa as well as a comfy chair and ottoman. We just upgraded the mattress and mechanisms in the sofa bed, using the best.
You can enjoy the lanai with table and 4 new chairs and cushions with gorgeous view of the ocean. You might spot whales or dolphins while enjoying your cocktails and meals.

The complex boasts 2 beautiful favorite is the ocean side salt pool I love it when the waves splash over the seawall. The grounds are meticulously manicured and have over 40 different varieties of hibiscus.There is a large covered pavilion and 3 large barbecues. Tables and chairs are both under the pavilion and out on the large patio that overlooks some breath taking scenery of both the sand beach, the ocean, and the pool and beautiful flowering trees and Paradise!We love the crossed tiki torches that are lit at night too.

One of the highlights at this complex are the friendly people that are drawn to the seawall every night at sunset where the conch shell (puu) is blown as the sunsets in the West.
We also Everyone staying there (owners and guests alike) are so friendly, you will experience a true feeling of Aloha.

*The condo comes with a cooler, beach towels and chairs, boogie boards. You can find them in the storage box on the lanai.

We feel we have one of the best locations,on the third floor (NO ONE OVERHEAD), near the elevator, with incredible ocean views.
It is really a fun place if you like to socialize in the evening or at the pool. But, it can also be a quiet and relaxing place as well.The seawall on the property is wonderful to sit and enjoy the ocean, the boats, cruise ships, dolphins and whales. I could sit there for hours.We enjoy hiking along the lava rocks at the adjoining properties and exploring new places.

We love walking in the morning. We are about a mile South of Kona town, so it is an easy walk where you can enjoy your morning coffee and perhaps walk to the pier where you can catch the trolly back to the condo. The trolley runs about every hour and a half.
If you head North, there are a couple beach access areas that we love to go to. One takes you to what is known as Turtle Beach. It is a small secluded beach with sand and shade....a photographers dream for sure. You have to get to the public beach access and walk across some lava that is behind 2 complexes to get there. This is near Living Stones Church (also recommend)
Another thing I would like to mention is the handy Convenience/Sundries store adjacent to the across the parking lot on Alii Drive. You can purchase your morning newspaper, or evening bottle of wine. The Keauhou Shopping Center is about 3 miles to the South and has a wonderful Saturday market, large KTA Grocery Store, Cinemas, Longs Drugs, Thai Restaurant, Subway, Friday night free hula shows, and so much more.

*We provide our guests with my "Fun to Do," list with lots of tips for your Island fun as well as some unknown to most freebees.

FEATURES OF OUR COMPLEX:

*Perfect for Honeymooners, families, retired people, friends, re-unions, etc.
*Convenience/Liquor Store in the front of the complex, which is an excellent feature when you need something last minute.
*Deli at Convenience store has great made to order.
* Walking distance to restaurants and shopping...Don't Miss nearby Alii Gardens (a block away) Or walk to town (about a mile) and take Trolley back that drops you off in front of the complex.
* Pools 2, Fresh water and Ocean Front salt water pool a picture out of a magazine...LOVE LOVE LOVE that salt water pool by ocean, I can just hear the waves...
* Great Sandy Beach area with lots of lounge chairs and plenty of shade that is next to the pool. It is a perfect place to take in the ocean views, hear the waves and relax or read a book
*Tropical Gardens with waterfall and fountain are the water features in addition to the 2 pools. There are lots and lots of tropical flowers, bushes, trees and plants. Our gardeners are amazing, as I have seen them shaking the bushes to get every loose leaf while taking care of grounds. It is so well manicured. Feel free to pick a hibiscus and put it behind your ear. :)
* Oceanfront Cabana for dining or just enjoying the breathtaking scenery. There are 3 large gas grills with extra burner at waters edge. AND wait til you see it at night with all the lit Tiki Torches...Wow! There are lots of tables and chairs. It is perfect to come down and barbeque in the evening and maybe make some new friends. This is a family friendly area where everyone comes out in the evening to barbeque. Or if you choose not to eat here, enjoy your wonderful lanai.
*Breezy open Lobby with fabulous views offer books, magazines and games. There are tables for games, and comfy furniture.
*Hawaiian sunsets. There is a lava wall to sit on and get some amazing photos.
We love to get up early and head down to the seawall with our morinng cup of coffee, sometimes even in the dark. It is wonderful to sit on the seawall and watch the sky as the sun lights things up behind you. Just paradise....
*Nearby hiking The neighboring property to the North is wonderful for morning hikes along the ocean's edge. To the South is another complex to walk through too. We love exploring all these areas. What I have found fascinating too is the natural salt water pool 2 complexes to the South along ocean's edge. The locals stand on the edge when high waves hit and are pushed into the pool. It is fun to watch.

We have such a passion for Hawaii that we love passing that "aloha spirit" onto all who have chosen to stay with us. I will provide you with my "fun to do" list too.
*Pack and Play and High Chair are now in the unit.
CHECKING IN: Once we receive final payment, we will send you the lock box code along with instructions on how to get to the property from the airport. Mahalo and we look forward to having you stay at our condo. I am sure you are going to love it as much as we do.
If you are looking for a 2 bedroom condo, we own 231615 and 451091 at The Beach Villas on VRBO.
We recommend getting travel insurance. There are several companies out there. Some of our guests have used https://www.csatravelpro.com/
You can purchase insurance for you family thru CSA. I was given the number by VRBO. It is 800 348-9505

***WE ARE COMMITTED TO OUR GUESTS COMFORT AND ENJOYMENT ALWAYS. Also it says no cancellations, I will try very hard to re-rent the unit if you ever had to cancel due to a family illness, etc., I understand things happen. The reason I put no refund was because sometimes people would continue to shop for the best rate and cancel us out if they found something cheaper. I try to keep our rates reasonable and if you check other places, you will agree. You, as the guest comes first and foremost and our goal is to provide a wonderful place in paradise for you to stay at while providing you with our fun to do list with lots of great adventures. With aloha, Gail and Phil Eddy.

Kona getaway
The complex is nicely arranged and oceanfront pool was delightfully relaxing. The unit was comfortable and I would rent again. The only drawback was the number of parking spaces don’t equal the number of units so there were a couple of times we needed to park just outside the complex.

Family fun
We stayed 2 nights at Gail’s condo. The unit was perfect for us. My daughter her 2 year old, my niece and I were very comfortable. The AC was great! The king sized bed comfy as was the queen sleeper sofa. The kitchen had everything we needed except coffee, but coffee and other food and snacks were available at the convenience store just steps away. The unit is tastefully decorated and cute.We enjoyed the saltwater pool and cabana area for soaking in the warm ocean breezes. The views were amazing from there.We would definitely rent again if the opportunity arises! The elevator was great for us, especially me since I have two total knee replacements. Parking was easy, if nothing was available in the gated area, there was plenty available outside of the complex but still in close proximity to the unit.Thanks Gail for letting us stay here! Next time we will stay longer!

Cute spot
The kitchen was well stocked, bed was comfy and the email list of "to do" was well thought out. Of note, the hyperlink to the property in the email does NOT take you to the correct location and the early AM wake up welcome call we could have done without. The grills were very well cleaned, everyone around us was very nice and helpful. The saltwater pool was closed for our entire stay so that was a bit disappointing but of course not the owners fault. Overall we would definitely consider a repeat visit!

The condo was just right for two people. I was a little concerned that the instructions stated only two towels per guest. I did contact the host and she did reply that a beach towel and bath towel were the two towels but the cleaning person would not be upset if we used a couple more. It was lovely sitting on the balcony in the morning to enjoy breakfast and the salt water pool area was so peaceful. It would have been nice if some coffee and filters were available at least for day one. Hopefully the coffee and filters we left will be enjoyed by the next guest. The location is perfect. Within walking distance to a lot of coffee shops, restaurants and beaches. There is a laundry facility on site but no way to purchase laundry detergent. My suggestion would be if the host could leave one or two laundry pods so guests could at least do one load of laundry, just as a courtesy. The last VRBO we stayed at did provide this and it made it so much more convenient. My only complaint, which is not really a complaint, is that the check out instructions stated we needed to vacuum up sand. There is a cleaning fee charged so I'm not sure why we need to vacuum before leaving. I guess if you are not a polite guest and shake off all of your sand prior to entering a home, you would drag in a lot of sand. We only cooked breakfast and the one big frying pan had a loose handle so that made things a little tricky. Overall, the condo was very comfortable and location excellent.

Owner filed insurance claim for damages that did not occur
I'm giving this property an overall rating of 1 star based on their filing an insurance claim after we left for damage which did not occur--at all. Otherwise, I probably would have given them 3 stars. The condo was ok. A little dated, could have used a deep cleaning (most things sticky to the touch), a little under supplied, but generally ok. We had a few minor issues, (broken sun shade, couldn't figure out how to make TV work, cord came off the fan when we tried to turn it on, etc.) but the owner replied quickly and cheerfully and had them fixed by her son in law when we mentioned them. I wouldn't have even bothered to leave this review, except that after we got home, we were shocked to learn that the owner had filed a $1,300 insurance damage claim, alleging that we'd broken all these items and done other damage as well, including a "cigarette burn" (we don't smoke). All of this is completely untrue--it simply did not happen. We are responsible renters in our 60's and we don't run around breaking things (we've never before received a rating from an owner under 5 stars). I am at a loss to explain the owner's conduct in filing this insurance claim after acknowledging the problems and having them fixed--we've never had an experience like this in our lives. Suffice it to say that we, at least, will never stay in a condo owned by this owner again.

Great weekend stay
We stayed at Gail's condo for a long weekend. Her communication was great. The only hiccup was my fault as I had missed an email she sent. The unit was very clean however there could be a bit of updating here or there. We realy like the larger lanai, we have found small lanais in other locations that were.nt comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with spices, condiments etc. It appears that the leave the items the guests may leave behind which made cooking easier than anywhere else we have stayed in Kono.

Relaxing week
We wanted to relax, and this place was very relaxing. All the information we received made arrival and check-in extremely easy. There is some rock work on the right side of the complex where the elevator is. We parked near that. This condo is very close to the elevator. There are ceiling fans inside and out to keep the air feeling fresh. It was a bit warmer than usual (ya know, by a degree or so) so we used A/C quite a bit. The A/C does a great job of cooling the whole place. It was well decorated with lots of supplies in the kitchen, plenty of towels, beach supplies, shopping bags, sundries, and games. We enjoyed the saltwater pool. The grounds were well taken care of with lots of birds hanging out. We're missing the sounds of those birds! Friendly geckos came to visit us on the lanai too! We caused an issue (unheard of!) and had to contact Gail. She was very helpful and friendly to chat with. Now there's a new coffee maker in the place too!

Avoid this condo--endless problems and hassles plagued our stay
We are frequent travelers and looked forward to our month-long stay here. We were quite disappointed and cannot recommend it to anyone else. AVOID THIS CONDO and this condo building. THE GOOD: --Excellent, beautiful view (with geckos running around) --Great location and easy check in. You can get around easily here. --The elevator made it easy and convenient to get in. --We sometimes received responses from the owner (but not consistently). --The technology worked great-- WiFi, Smart TV, and lights/fans. --Shower had great pressure and towels were nice and fluffy. MAJOR ISSUES WITH OUR STAY: --The a/c broke for two days, then leaked toward the end of our stay. We had to set up buckets in the hallway. --The ocean pool was closed for the vast majority of the month (for painting and then over and over whenever waves put sand into it--do NOT expect that it will ever be open). --The water was shut off three times during our stay. Further, the tap water tasted moldy and the owner recommended we do not drink it. --There was constant, daily construction noise from morning until night (including most weekends), along with construction materials on the ground and in the elevators at all times. If you want a restful sleep, this is not possible here. --The building manager was unreachable during the entire stay. Few updates were provided. We waited weeks until the owner sent any updates on pool openings/closures, and there was a general feel of staying in an old, falling-apart building. --The condo was under-supplied. While we would of course expect to buy our own toilet paper (etc.), we also had to purchase trash bags, a Brita filter, dish pods, ziploc bags, and if we had done laundry, laundry detergent. The last thing you want to deal with on vacation is buying lots of supplies. MINOR ISSUES: --The bed was mushy and sagged in the middle. --The bathroom sink was slow to drain. --The toilet seat was loose and nearly falling off. --They did pest control in the condo and we noticed quite a few roaches in the hallways. --The kitchen gear (aside from the amazing knives) was mostly "on the cheap" and was not in good condition. --The blinds let in light. As a final note, the owner reacted quite defensively or in an avoidant way when we brought up any of these issues. (for example, when we reported the leaking a/c, she said it must be because we left the windows and doors open rather than because there was an actual problem). I DO NOT recommend staying here.

Great fun and nice location, just outside downtown Kona. Peace and quiet for relaxing vacation. Close to good food and all the fun Kona has to offer. Snorkeling was amazing right out in front of condo complex. The condo itself was decorated nicely, had everything we needed to cook meals and had a nice patio, with great view.

Exactly as advertised
This was a beautiful property. The condo was fabulous. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. Gail was really helpful with a situation we needed help with. She was also very hands on, meaning when we got in she touched base with us, to make sure we made it in ok and if we needed anything, When we needed to reach her, we did. The only issue I had was incredibly small. The bedroom is by the entrance (not the issue), there're good size windows, and people walk past them. (Not the issue, everyone was respectful and quiet) The issue is they have blinds that have gaps in them. Meaning you can see into the room fairly easily. Just putting up some sheer curtains would solve that. This in no way, shape, or form, took away from our visit or the beauty of their condo and property. What is advertised is what you get. Thank you both for having us!

Lovely unit and great hospitality!
We were traveling to Hawaii for a special family occasion. We VERY MUCH appreciated meeting the hosts and getting a very early check in as soon as we arrived. (We had been up since 4 in the morning!) The unit was very clean and comfortable, and had every kind of convenience. The kitchen shelves had all sorts of spices and the fridge had condiments and even some welcome cold drinks left by prior guests! (we left many of our own in return.) Its a very nice policy as opposed to stripping the shelves bare and making guests go out and buy even salt and pepper. The large bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. And we appreciated the coolers, and beach chairs, etc. in the unit for guests. It all made for a very comfortable stay at "the Casa" a complex we were very familiar with and very fond of. It was good to return to Hawaii and be met with such aloha.

Aloha! Konagails bungalow at Casa de Emdecko has everything you need. Very "Hawaiian" look , cute, & nice view of the ocean from the lani. Beach accessories, which is a plus! and great salt water pool right next to the ocean. Good location, trolly pick up in front with very friendly people at the convenience store also located in front. There was an issue with the AC, which Gail was right on top if. Thx for a relaxing & comfy place !

We LOVE Kona. We were very impressed with all this complex has to offer. We hope to someday be able to spend 3-4 months there ourselves. We also own 231615 and 451091 which is located at Kahalu;u Beach . They are 2 side by side 2 bedroom units and are on VRBO. This complex offers additional amenities and experiences unlike our other units, so we wanted to also be an owner here and to be able to enjoy it's wonderful amenities. If you need a bigger place check out our other 2 lovely places in Kona. Hawaii has always been a dream of ours. We feel very blessed to be able to own a little bit of "Paradise."
