Location, location, location! Ocean-view 2 bed / 2 bath condo in the oceanfront Casa De Emdeko community. This spacious 1,288 sq ft ground-level unit is just the third in from the ocean - about 28 steps along the path to the sandy lounging area and a short walk to the oceanfront saltwater pool. Enjoy ground-level convenience with no elevators or stairs. From inside the unit or the double-size lanai, take in the ocean view, with dolphins often visible year-round and whales passing in winter. The interior features a generous living area, a remodeled modern kitchen and bathrooms with quartz countertops, newer appliances, updated fixtures, and an in-unit washer and dryer (a rare convenience as most units share common laundry). Tastefully furnished and ready to enjoy. Open parking is conveniently located near the unit, with eight oversized owner storage spaces right outside for personal use - truly a "home away from home." Zoned V-1.5 (Resort/Hotel) and licensed for short-term vacation rental (STVR), the property offers flexibility for personal use or rental income when not in residence. Approximately 1.5 miles to Kona town and 10.5 miles to Kona Airport. One of the unique benefits at Casa De Emdeko is that the central A/C system supplies chilled air (A/C) and hot water for each unit, with those utility costs included in the monthly maintenance fee, a significant value in Hawaii. Fees also cover cable TV, internet, water, sewer, trash, building insurance, and common-area maintenance. Casa De Emdeko is a gated oceanfront community known for its lush tropical grounds, oceanfront saltwater pool, sandy "beach" area, beautiful sunsets, nightly Hawaiian tiki torches, BBQs, large pavilion, and friendly community atmosphere. A truly inviting oceanfront setting offering both relaxation and short-term rental flexibility - your "Home by the Sea." HOA fees are set thru October 1, 2026.
