Over the years, we have stayed at four other complexes along Ali'i Drive. Jackie's condo at Casa de Emdeko is by far the best! It is surprisingly spacious and very comfortable for our small family of three (two adults and a thirteen year old). The bed was comfortable and the sofa bed was easy to set up. The kitchen was well-appointed and I loved the dishwasher. We cooked breakfast everyday and a couple of dinners. Double sinks in the bathroom were awesome. The washer and dryer were large and easy to use. We especially liked having cable to watch the local news and weather. Also, do not underestimate the value of central air conditioning!
The grounds are beautiful and parking both inside or outside the gate (when we got back late) was safe and easy. Do not miss the salt water pool at sunset! Having the little liquor store close by was also super convenient for evening ice cream runs.
There were plenty of linens, plenty of large beach towels, and a good selection of beach gear. We used the insulated backpack every single day at the beach, volcano, etc., to carry our lunch and drinks.
Jackie is a terrific host and very responsive. She communicates with you personally every step of the way. If you are considering her condo it is well worth it!
