As advertised! But we knew what to expect as we had stayed at Casa de Emdeko on a prior visit. The condo worked well for 2 people with a well stocked kitchen and a view of the ocean. The pool areas are well kept and clean, not to mention refreshing. And the locker with beach stuff was great, chairs were a big plus for us.

Thank you for our stay. The apartment is very well equipped. We loved the complex and even had the pool to ourselves. The sunset from the pool is wonderful and the gardens immaculate. It was really useful having the private car park so we were able to tour the island.

Lovely condo, great location
Jackie was a very hospitable and responsive host. Her place is lovely, clean and nicely decorated. We loved swimming in the salt water pool next to the ocean at sunset. The living area was a bit snug for 4 adults but we made it work, and overall really enjoyed our stay.
Well maintained unit and complex. We used the bbq to cook dinner one night. Easy drive to Kona coffee belt and 40 minutes to Hapuna Beach. Short 5-10 minute drive to other beaches as well as to downtown Kona.

Very nice VRBO in Kona. The complex is mostly seniors and they take good care of it. The unit is clean and pretty well apportioned. We would probably stay here again.

Great honeymoon stay!
We stayed at Jackie's for a few nights during our honeymoon. The salt water pool was fabulous, the guests staying in other units on the property were quiet and respectful, and the birds in the morning were so peaceful. The kitchen was great and the place was clean. We appreciated having a W/D to use during our stay. My only complaint is that it would have been nice to have coffee / creamer supplied, but otherwise everything else was great! I would stay here again and I would recommend it to others looking for a comfortable, clean, peaceful stay in Kona. :)

Great stay
The grounds were beautiful and the unit was pristine. Check in was easy and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. We stayed to watch some friends do the Ironman race. While a little far from the start, the run passes in front the property but overall it was a great location for other key sites. The a/c made the stay great as it is hot and humid.

Beautiful Condo
This is a beautiful and very comfortable condo with all the essential amenities. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The owners stayed in contact with me during Hurricane Hone making sure I was safe and secure. The management took every precaution to make sure all residents and guests were informed and safe.

Good spot for a getaway
The condo is clean and cute inside. The owner communicates well about check in procedures. The lanai has a nice view of ocean and one of the pools. There's a washer and dryer in unit which is nice.
The cleaning lady was there as we were packing up before checkout time, so they are on it! She was sweet as we traded spots.
When we arrived there were no car tags at the welcome desk so we left a note on the dash hoping to not have a problem. All was well the next day, but if you want parking inside the gate you need to get there early and stay parked or you'll be outside, which seems fine but if you're looking for the extra security of a gated entry, you simply can't be gone in the evening and expect a spot when you come back. That's not an issue the condo owner is responsible for, just something to be aware of bc the spaces available are few.

Great community of people at complex, not so great care from owner of this unit.
The property itself was nicely updated and comfortable. This is an older building complex with 2 pools and oceanfront sunset view.
Only issue we had was this owner uses a lockbox and key to access instead of modern keyless entry keypad like other units here. We accidentally locked the key inside, locked out with only our bathing suits and phone. Contacted owner immediately and she couldn't/wouldn't help us get back inside until the next day! Instead of providing her local contact's info she reminded us no less than 11 times that we wouldn't be in that situation if we had put the keys back in the lockbox as instructed. If it wasn't for the kindness of other owners we had just met at the complex we would have had nowhere to sleep that night. Ultimately we were refunded for the one night we couldn't access the unit, but due to this owner's belittling and unhelpful response to us getting locked out, we will never rent through this owner again.
