Experience the ultimate Big Island getaway in unit B 238, a premier oceanfront corner suite at Casa de Emdeko. Situated just 30 feet from the shoreline, this is one of the few places where the rhythm of the Pacific becomes the soundtrack to your stay.
The Highlight: Massive Outdoor Living
While most condos offer a small balcony, B238 features a 700 sq. ft. wrap-around L-shaped lanai. This is your private front-row seat for:
* Whale watching and dolphin spotting directly from your lounge chair.
* Each evening, watch the sky ignite in color and listen to the haunting call of the pū (conch shell) as locals mark the end of another beautiful day.
* Al fresco dining with the salt spray and tropical breeze.
* Tucked into the corner of the lanai is a custom-built, plush punee—the ultimate Hawaiian sanctuary where you can lose yourself in a novel or drift into a salt-air nap just feet above the breaking waves.
Sophisticated Island Comfort
Inside, you’ll find 1,288 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed tropical living space:
Recent Upgrades:
The Social Kitchen: Elegant quartz bartops with stylish barstools, making it easy to enjoy a glass of wine or a Mai Tai while chatting with the cook.
Modern plank flooring and custom closet organizers (drawers/cubbies) in both bedrooms.
Master Suite: New King-sized bed. Separate shower and full soaking tub.
Guest Suite: New Queen-sized bed. Fall asleep to the sound of the ocean.
Full Kitchen: Fully equipped for island breakfasts or gourmet dinners. Whether you’re brewing your first cup of morning Kona coffee or whipping up a fresh local catch, you’ll find every pot, pan, and utensil you need for a true 'home-away-from-home' experience." May 2026: Brand new countertops, new microwave, and new range.
Stay Connected: High-speed Wi-Fi included for remote work or streaming.
Casa de Emdeko Amenities
* This gated complex offers a "resort-style" feel with quiet, residential charm:
* Two Pools: Choose between the ocean-side saltwater pool or the garden-side freshwater pool.
* Private Sandy Beach: Perfect for sunbathing without leaving the property.
* Oceanfront Cabana: Features gas BBQs and dining tables—ideal for sunset cookouts.
* On-Site Convenience: A mini-mart, liquor store, and even a salon/massage shop are right at the front of the complex.
* Convenient gated parking.
The Perfect Location
You are just 1.5 miles from the heart of Kailua-Kona village. Enjoy a scenic stroll or a 3-minute drive to world-class dining, vibrant shopping, and historic sites, then retreat back to your quiet oceanfront sanctuary.
A Note on Island Cooling
To maintain the vintage charm of the property, Casa de Emdeko utilizes a central "chilled water" cooling system. This provides a gentle reduction in temperature rather than "ice-cold" modern A/C. For the best experience, we recommend closing windows/doors when the system is on, or simply opening the sliders to let the famous Kona cross-breezes flow through the unit.
Your Host
When not enjoying the beauty of Hawaii, your host Phil Washburn can be found at Celebration Ranch in Roseburg, Oregon. We take pride in providing a clean, welcoming, and unforgettable "home away from home" for our guests.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
This was my first time using VRBO, so I was a bit nervous. As it turns out, there was no reason to be. The condo was spectacular and better than anticipated. The host was helpful and friendly throughout the process and the lanai and view was second to none. I highly recommend this place.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
Trip was amazing, this condo lives up to everything it says and more. Wrap around balcony on the water is awesome, enjoyed quiet sunsets and morning coffee daily out there. Loved the day bed out there too. Condo very clean, very well equipped kitchen, nice bathrooms and beds comfortable. The condo was very well stocked with everything you may have forgot (toiletries, kitchen items, beach stuff (chairs, snorkel equipment,pool toys). Can’t say enough good things about this rental. Location easy to get to beaches to the south or north, close to town.

What an amazing condo. The lanai was incredible, my daughter never wanted to leave the couch out there.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
Pros: view is as advertised, incredible! Host and co-host were responsive, though the underlying issue wasn’t resolved. Cons: floors were really dirty. We took off our shoes and they were black after a few minutes. We kept our slippers on after that for the remainder of our stay. The hosts acknowledged our issue, but ultimately didn’t fix it. There’s a mix of updated parts of the place, but ultimately it was really dated (especially the cabinets), lots of dust in the hvac filter, and the front door light was blown, making it hard to see the entrance code pad when returning at night. Seemed like there were homeless hanging out in the empty lot next to the property. They were fine and harmless, but their presence may be a little jarring since it’s past the gates and if you arrive at night. Not something the owners can really do though. Overall this place has a lot of potential if they do a more substantial renovation.
