Casa de Emdeko

The design and décor is a weird, out-of-place Spanish permutation, but the rooms of Casa De Emdeko can be a good deal. Get as close to the ocean as you can. Units ending in 19 and 38 have spectacular wrap-around lanais facing the ocean. The rock-enclosed saltwater pool is very picturesque with a great location by the ocean. There’s a small, elevated, sandy sunning area and a clubhouse with BBQs. The price is right for what you get. Readers have pointed out a significant…crawling insect problem from time to time. Rooms vary in decor and many could use updating. Washer/dryer in some (the rest use coin-op laundry). Some rooms have showers with no bathtubs. It’s no palace, but you ain’t paying for a palace. Even though there is an elevator, you may still have stairs to deal with on the way to your unit. There’s a little shopping center right outside the gate which certainly adds points for convenience.1/1 units (640–896 sq. ft.) are $89–$176, 2/2 units (1,120–1,288 sq. ft.) are $188–$348. 3-, 7- or 10-night minimum. Units from the agent listed below may not have a phone. To view more agents’ units see: Boundless Hawaii
