La dueña en todo momento estuvo atenta a nuestros mensajes, el apartamento está muy bien ubicado y con transporte público en la puerta. Es una zona de apartamentos muy transitada pero no se oye el ruido de la calle. La casa estaba limpia y con todo lo necesario en cocina y baño. Lo único negativo, la comodidad del sofá cama y que sólo hay un baño. Ideal para 2 personas.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment was tidy and Jeanne was very responsive. It is located in a convenient location, a short drive from most activities around Kona. We appreciated that some beach equipment was provided, though most of the snorkel gear is a bit dated. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment. Parking was easy to find. Of note, the laundry facilities can only be used between 8am and 9pm, last load must be in at 7pm.
Jun 27, 2019We had a wonderful stay! Thank you! 10/10 :)
Jun 27, 2019We didn't meet Jeanna in person, but all her emails were informative, very helpful and just in time. We had a great time at Big Island - apartment's location is great: a lot of good food, gorgeous beaches and snorkeling places in less that 5-7 minutes drive. BBQ/Pool area with amazing ocean view is really cool!
Jun 27, 2019I had a blast here on the big island! This place is a steal. Loved spending my time here. Will come back for sure!
Jun 27, 2019Very nice condo! Very good condition and well equipped. Beach towels where provided - this was very much appreciated. Parking at the condo area. I can absolutely recommend this condo to anyone!
Jun 27, 2019The property is lovely with 2 pools, bed comfy and all amenities provided. The ice maker in the fridge was fantastic, and there are farmers markets in town to grab all the fresh fruit & veggies you need. The property has aircon but I didn't need to use it - the place stays quite cool even on hot days and the ceiling fans were enough for me. Plenty of parking and the onsite shop came in handy.
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful apartment, clean and the sunset...amazing!
Jun 27, 2019Jeanna made us feel very welcome by leaving a bottle of wine and some coffee. The condo was very clean, but older than the pictures made it appear. The amenities of the complex were very enjoyable and convienent.
Jun 27, 2019The property and host were very nice as promised. We really enjoyed the beach equipment she let us borrow. I cannot rave enough about the saltwater pool next to the ocean, and the ability to BBQ and dine while hearing the ocean waves crashing. Although completely outside of our host's control, It was a little hard to not have the host living in the area, just because we were not familiar with the process for tropical storm/hurricane issues that arose during our stay.
Jun 27, 2019Our quick trip to Kailua-Kona was perfect and this was due to Jeanna's wonderful condo at Casa de Emdeko! It was super clean, cute, and spacious. It has everything you need as well for a great stay... Beach gear (chairs, umbrella, cooler, floaties, towels, boogie boards, and more), and the condo has all the cooking supplies in a great little kitchen. Oh, and the bed, it's one of the best I've come across! Best sleep ever! Plus the condo has AC for those hotter days and nights. The condo grounds are wonderful as well, and well kept. With lush foliage, two pools (the salt water one is fantastic as it's on the water), BBQ area with grills, and a sandy area with lounge chairs and palm trees. It's hard to want to leave in the mornings. In fact, the morning we left we took a last dip in the salt pool and watched a pod of playful dolphins swim past... Pretty spectacular! Lastly, the location is fantastic. Only about a 4 minute car ride/taxi to downtown Kailua-Kona, and close to the fun, little beach Magic Sands/White Sands beach. We will definitely be back when in Kailua-Kona! Thanks for a great stay and great communication + hospitality Jeanna!
Jun 27, 2019This place was an amazing find! It was so comfortable and close to downtown Kona. Everything was clean, the air conditioning was a much enjoyed treat, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Jenna was excellent about sending all the info we needed to find the condo and to get settled. We would absolutely stay there again!!
Jun 27, 2019The neighborhood was quiet and close to Kona downtown. The kitchen was well stocked with basic spices and gadgets , we appreciated that. It was a great value and the pools were an added plus. Highly reccomend it and I would return!
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful condo in a great location! We walked downtown several times throughout our stay for meals and it was an easy, convenient walk. It was a pleasure to stay here, even better in person than in the pictures.
Jun 27, 2019Great place to stay. We absolutely loved it. Very nice, clean and modern apartment. Very friendly and helpful host. We would definitely recommend and hope to come back next year.
Jun 27, 2019This condo was great and had everything we needed for our stay! A cooler, beach chairs, beach towel, sunscreen, and other toiletries. There were even some cooking necessities, coffee, and snacks. We enjoyed the patio with a large table and comfortable chairs. The grounds were beautifully kept and the pools were not busy and very nice! The only time things got busy was around sunset, but we spent our last evening walking out a little path to a rocky area and enjoying it by ourselves. The location is right on the water and a short drive from everything. We had never been to the area before so after exploring, we do wish we had been a little closer to down town but it was still super close to everything!
Jun 27, 2019Great, quiet place. Close to several beaches! We saw dolphin far away swimming towards snorkelers in the morning.
Jun 27, 2019Cet appartement était très confortable, bien situé (proche des endroits principaux à voir à Kona) et contenait beaucoup de commodités pour la plage, notamment. Il est très spacieux pour un couple avec un bébé, ce que nous avons apprécié. Nous avons particulièrement aimé la table extérieure sur une petite galerie bien aménagée. Nous recommandons fortement l'appartement de Jeanna, une fille bien organisée. Elle n'est pas sur place, mais le document qu'elle nous prépare est très clair.
Jun 27, 2019Jeanna's was condo was just as described! The complex is quiet, well maintained, and in a great location. We look forward to staying here again.
Jun 27, 2019Great location! Gorgeous view and accommodations.
Jun 27, 2019Awesome location with everything you need for a home base to all your big island adventures or for a relaxing time by the pools and beach.
Jun 27, 2019Hawaii is a warm place, it is imperative to have AC and this place did not. There were only fans. Also, don't plan on cooking much as the kitchen sparse and the oven doesn't fully open due to the fridge blocking it. The fridge did not provide ice and not water, though a dispenser is there. The bed squeaked with every little movement and the place was overall not very pleasant. I would not recommend anyone to stay here unless you are really on a budget and don't plan on spending much time here.
Jun 27, 2019Bel appartement très beau site qui mérite d y rester pour apprécier la résidence et ses atouts dont 2 piscines (eau douce et eau salée) proche de Kona pour les restaurants bonne adresse
Jun 27, 2019Jeanna's condo was cozy It was very clean and had nice finishing a. There are 2 pools. The salt water pool is amazing.

Jun 27, 2019The building was a bit older than we expected but the property was well maintained and the unit was clean. We cooked alot in the unit and had plenty of useful utensils that allowed us to cook easily. We were glad to have two thick soft beach towels to take on our day trips. The unit had four bath & hand towels and two facial towels. The unit could be enhanced by a bath mat. The laundry room was just steps from the unit which is very appealing. We could hear people walking above us at night and showering in the early morning. Aside from that the unit was just minutes from downtown and 30 minutes from Waikola with great restaurants and shopping.
Jun 27, 2019This unit was comfortably furnished, conveniently located close to the entrance for easy access with parking easily available. Really liked the cable television to access variety of shows, kitchen nicely equipped, nice sitting area and walk by the ocean.
Jun 27, 2019We really enjoyed staying at Jeanna's condo. Being on the ground floor was very convenient with having children :)
Jun 27, 2019We enjoyed both pools, being on the ground floor & location was perfect for activities N. & S. of Kona.
Jun 27, 2019Jeanna’s description was spot on and it was very clean. She is also very informative and responsive. It was everything we were looking for on our getaway. We would definitely stay here if we ever come back to Kona.
Jun 27, 2019The place was awesome! Right at the ocean, super clean, well equipped kitchen, a lot of beach gear, cozy patio, nice salt water pool, ... everything was amazing! Jeanna was very friendly and responsive :)
Jun 27, 2019Really enjoyed our stay here. Condo has everything you need. The community is really nice. The saltwater pool is beautiful!
Jun 27, 2019Great place to stay around Kona! Beautiful sunset view! Extremely clean and with two great pools :)
Jun 27, 2019We had a wonderful stay at Jeanna’s place. The suite was clean, comfortable and included all the beach gear one could possibly need. The pool and gardens were amazing, the barbecue and laundry facilities were appreciated and it was in a convenient location between the town and beaches. We particularly enjoyed drinking the complimentary coffee provided by the complex on our quiet, private patio each morning.
Jun 27, 2019Awesome value and Jeanna was great. I would stay here again!
Jun 27, 2019We had some great days at Jeannas condo! It was so lovely and the facilities were great with the pools and everything!
Jun 27, 2019The house was perfectly located for us to be able to go south to two step for the day or in to town to get dinner. My wife and I loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and quiet place to stay on the big island
Jun 27, 2019The ground floor condo is part of a lovely garden resort.We loved the pools and bbq areas.Everything was keep beautifully clean. Good to see recycling encouraged. The unit was clean and well (Website hidden by Airbnb) was nice to be a bit out of town away from the noise.
Jun 27, 2019Great location to explore the big island. Condo was clean, air conditioning worked well. The pools were nice and great sunset views.
Jun 27, 2019Jeanne was very caring during my brief stay. She gives very well thought out instructions to make for a comfortable stay. The condo's location has a wonderful view of the coast with salt water pool, lovely garden and beach area
Jun 27, 2019Good location, close to shops and restaurants. Minutes from a public beach
Jun 27, 2019Jeanna’s place is located in a nice area of kona close to the main strip. We had an easy time getting around to some great restaurants and a nice beach. The pool at the complex was wonderful. We had an ocean view and could hear the crashing waves, but had the calmness of a pool. There was only two other people in the pool too, which was nice to not have it be loud or crowded. The apartment itself is well stocked with kitchen items, toiletries, towels, including beach towels and ocean gear to borrow (chairs, boogie boards, etc). There was a pack n play for our baby which was also great. The only problem was there’s not a great place to put the baby except in the bedroom with you. The other concern for us is there’s no carpeted area in the main living room, just tile, so for our 6 month old he couldn’t be left to crawl around and play by himself since falling over would’ve been quite painful! For older kids who are better at crawling and sitting it’d be fine though. The nicest thing was jeanna allowed us a late checkout so our baby could finish his nap which helped us have a better day all around. Overall it was a great place to stay, a little expensive for one night, but lovely and very relaxing.
Jun 27, 2019This location is very convenient and the waterfront waves were the highlight. We had quite a few lovely mornings and sunsets watching and listening to the waves crash against the rocky shore. The sandy beach lounge area is a really nice touch, as well as the salt water pool, because you get all the beauty vibes even not being in an ocean-front swimmable location. The main drag of Kona is an easy 15m walk away, or you can hop on the trolley. We seemed to keep missing the trolley so we hitchhiked or walked to town most days. I recommend renting a car to enjoy the island, unless you are an ambitious hitchhiker (which is quite safe on the island). This unit comes with a parking pass which was really nice. The day we arrived there was a notice on the unit that the electricity would be out from 7am-7pm the next day, so neither the unit electric amenities or the pools were open. We rearranged our plans to be gone that day, but as a very-much-not morning person, the immediate early wake up to be able to shower and whatnot right after a long day of travel was kind of a bummer. The host gave us a partial refund for this day after some back and forth. If you are squeamish about bugs, be prepared to spot a cockroach or two. There was a huge dead one when we arrived and some smaller ones we got rid of. I think that because this is a ground level unit off the garden area, they sneak in the lanai door when left open. Wasn't a huge deal to us. The premises are really lovely and well kept. Take a peek in the bush on the lanai and you'll spot a bird nest! there were two eggs there during our trip so the next guests may have some chicks to admire. The neighbors and other guests are really kind as well. One couple feeds wild eels that live in the rocks. I'd never seen wild eels so that was a really neat thing to see. Overall a good trip, with just a couple minor hiccups!
Jun 27, 2019Jeanna’s place was great! Totally perfect for my bf and I. It was a great location and we were close to everything on the Kailua-kona side. The pool was lovely. Would definitely stay again!
Jun 27, 2019Clean, cozy, easy check-in. We had a plumbing mishap and the local contact arranged for a fix with minimal fuss. While there is no actual ocean access, the salt water pool overlooking the water is lovely. Beaches and town are a short drive away.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent emplacement, résidence très calme, logement très grand et très bien équipé, le séjour s'est bien déroulé. Les BBQ, et surtout les 2 piscines d'eau douce et d'eau salée sont un vrai "plus". Nous recommandons.
Jun 27, 2019I would recommend this place anyone is looking for a great location on the Big Island. The outside salt water pool is delightful and the ocean water spills directly into the pool during high tide creating a lovely experience and ambiance. The accommodations were great and the place has everything that you could possibly need. In addition, there are even boogie boards, beach chairs etc available. Furthermore, the host's response time was very good and she is highly communicative. Overall, a great place to stay on your vacation!
Jun 27, 2019The condo was clean and fairly well stocked. Location was amazing, exactly where the host said. Pools were wonderful. No wifi, so be ready for your phone not to work. No service until you left the complex no matter who your carrier is. Washer and dryer are in the common area by the condo, not in the condo itself. Beautiful views every morning and evening.
Jun 27, 2019fantastic accomodation and great host..i loved the stay very much
Jun 27, 2019Amazing place to stay!
Jun 27, 2019Jeannas place was located in a great area. Many amenities. The pool was amazing with picture perfect views overlooking the ocean.
Jun 27, 2019Hi Jeanna - thanks for your great hospitality. We had a great time in the area of Kailua-Kona. We enjoyed staying at your apartment very much, equipped with all the necessary stuff for a perfect holiday at the beach, helpful information some days prior to our arrival and a quiet, nice and relaxed terrace for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The sunset at the Case de Emdeko is beautiful. Thank you once again. Verena & Markus
Jun 27, 2019Jenna’s place was just perfect for our family. The grounds and people were super great. One resident blows a conch shell over the ocean every night at sunset, so special! We loved how close to town we were but not in the middle of the busy main drag. We will be back! Cheers!
Jun 27, 2019This beautiful little apt. was great and it was a very convenient location. There were 2 pools on site, one fresh water, the other salt that sat right on the edge next to the ocean shore. It is absolutely gorgeous and a perfect spot to watch the sunset. We ran into one issue with the hot water on our last day, but I think it was just a freak incident. The host looked into the issue as fast as she could. Other than that, everything was great! I would recommend this place without a doubt!
Jun 27, 2019Very easy instructions for arrival and great location. One minor issue that was attended to and resolved quickly. Very clean with anything you could need. Recommend highly for anyone looking to stay in Kona!
Jun 27, 2019Very quiet home with two warm pools and a shady outside area perfect for breakfast. Easy communication before hand with no difficulty at check in. Fantastic end to our honeymoon!
Jun 27, 2019Jeanna's getaway is a real delight, in a wonderful part of the world! The facilities have everything you will need, as well as some great outdoor access to pools/lounges/views of the ocean. Incredibly easy and seamless operation, and we would be glad to use it anytime again in the future. Thanks Jeanna, it was truly a magical week we had! - Tim Dixon
Jun 27, 2019We enjoyed Casa de Emdeko and Jeanna's place very much. The unit is nicely updated and we enjoyed the ground floor lanai location by the fountain a lot - it is quite private and well screened by the landscaping with little foot traffic. We ate all our meals there. The kitchen is very well equipped. We didn't use much of the available beach gear, but appreciated it was there. The location is good; a bit out of the business of town, and the buildings are well set back from the road, so quiet. We lounged at the beach and enjoyed the salt water pool a lot. The beach area was never really very busy, at least at the time we were there.
Jun 27, 2019Jeanna was prompt and responsive. Her place was very clean and in a convenient location. Definitely loved the pools and the beach stuff she provided. Access was easy and so was check in and out. Thanks!
Jun 27, 2019We really enjoyed our stay here! We liked the full kitchen for cooking meals. Ground floor makes it easy to come and go. Parking and location are great. We really liked the salt pool and oceanside patio. Makes for a great space to have dinner outside. Beach chairs, umbrella and cooler are provided and essential for the beach. AC worked well.
Jun 27, 2019Great location and clean condo. Bathroom door didn’t close properly and there was only one key. Safe ran out of battery so we had to get new ones before we dared to use it. Manager was no where to be found the whole week we were there. The building is dated but Jeanna did a good job making it cozy. Nice towels and other basic amenities. Many drawers to put your belongings and hooks for towels etc - a very nice bonus! Overall a pleasant stay!
