Casa De Emdeko 235 Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Casa De Emdeko 235, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone. But this four-star property in Kailua-Kona immediately caught my attention with its understated charm and that relaxed Big Island vibe you can’t fake. The free parking right on site was actually a relief — you know how tricky it can get finding a spot in some parts of Kona, especially when you’re hauling beach gear and luggage.

Location & Neighborhood

What really struck me about this place is how the locals seem to have figured out the sweet spot for location. You’re close enough to all the action in Kailua-Kona — I mean, you can easily get to Ali’i Drive for dinner or hit up the farmers market — but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the tourist crowds right outside your door. The 8.3 location rating from recent guests makes total sense when you experience it firsthand. It’s one of those spots where you feel like you’re staying somewhere that actual Hawaii residents might choose, not just another tourist trap. The neighborhood truly captures the essence of island living.

The Room Experience

My room had this comfortable, lived-in quality that I really appreciated. Nothing overly fancy, but everything you actually need was there and working well. The space felt more like staying at a well-appointed friend’s place than a sterile hotel room — which honestly made the whole experience more relaxing. I could tell why couples rate this place so highly; there’s something intimate about the scale and atmosphere that just works for romantic getaways.

What Sets It Apart

You know what I noticed? The staff here actually knows the area and can give you real recommendations, not just the standard tourist brochure stuff. When I asked about good local spots for coffee, they pointed me toward places I never would have found on my own. The property itself has this authentic Hawaiian residential feel — it’s not trying to be a resort, and that’s exactly what makes it special. Sometimes you want to experience a place like you live there, not like you’re just passing through.

Why Guests Love It

After spending time here, I get why the 8.2 rating feels right. Casa De Emdeko 235 delivers on the things that actually matter when you’re exploring the Big Island — a comfortable base, genuine local character, and that sense of being somewhere real rather than manufactured. The combination of solid amenities and authentic atmosphere creates exactly the kind of experience you hope for but don’t always find. It’s the sort of place you’d recommend to friends who want to experience Kailua-Kona without feeling like tourists the whole time. This property truly stands out.

    Ruhige Anlage direkt am Meer. Der Ausblick ist genau wie auf dem Foto. Gut ausgestattete Küche. Es sind Badehandtücher und Strandutensilien vorhanden, die man nutzen kann. Prima zum entspannen.

  • Robert from Germany (9/10)

    Das Appartment war einfach super! Wir haben uns vom ersten Augenblick an wohlgefühlt. Tolle Ausstattung, sehr sauber, ruhig und ein fantastischer Blick auf`s Meer. Sogar Strandequipment war vorhanden. Eine der schönsten Unterkünfte, die wir auf unserer 4-wöchigen Reise hatten. Die Zugangscodes für die Wohnung wurden uns direkt nach der Buchung übermittelt. Park6en war inclusive und wir mussten uns auch nicht noch zusätzlich registrieren. Kein zusätzlichen Ressort Gebühren. Was man allerdings wissen sollte, ohne Auto ist die Anlage etwas weit von den Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten entfernt.
