A large and pretty complex on the makai (oceanfront) side of Alii Drive, Casa de Emdeko offers a few more amenities than most condo complexes, including an on-site convenience store that makes great sandwiches, a sandy oceanfront area for sunbathing, and both fresh and salt water pools. As with any complex, decor and maintenance of units varies depending on the owner, so be sure to view photos of the specific unit you're renting. All units have lanai, with either garden or ocean views (ocean view is a bit more expensive).

My husband and I stayed at Casa de Emdeko for 3 nights in July as part of our honeymoon and thought it was a great deal. We stayed in unit 326, which was very tastefully furnished and had every appliance you can imagine (including a washer/dryer) and 2 flat screen TVs! It's right in the center of all the action in Kona, close to all restaurants and little shops, and a good location for exploring the beautiful southern coast. We would definitely recommend it to people who don't need the service/amenities of a hotel.
