Ocean Front Beach House located only steps from the water!

Amazing place! Beautiful with a beautiful view! Ben is the nicest guy and a great host! We absolutely loved our time here and we are sad to leave.

Our stay on Kahalu’u Bay was the best rental experience our family has ever had! Ben and everyone at the shop were so welcoming to us. It was the perfect place for our family, combining gorgeous views, unparalleled access to surfing, snorkeling and more just steps away, and easy access to all Kona has to offer. The house was so clean and well-appointed. One tip: definitely check in and look at the cupboards before grocery shopping as there was a lot already stocked. Just waking up to watch the morning sun hit the bay as the first surfers went out, listening to the friendly chatter and surf lessons happening right below the balcony, and the friendly welcoming smiles every time we came back through the gates - our family will treasure many many good memories.

Absolutely perfect choice for our family of four. When we visit Kona in the future we will likely build our travel dates around the availability of this property! The house was super well stocked with condiments, any cooking utensils and tools we needed and more, plus local wine/coffee/chocolates, all a big hit that made us feel at home. I don’t think I’ve ever seen linens and towels more organized, and even the small details (sound machines, AC units in each of the main rooms) were considered and added up to a perfect vacation. Ben was very responsive and each member of the surf shop staff made us feel welcome and special. Our 13-year old son would have liked to stay and work at the surf shop! Can’t ask for a better view or location if you want to surf, SUP, snorkel, or nap on the sand—just walk across the street and hop in the water. Highly recommend taking a lesson from any of the professionals at the shop. Beds were also all really comfortable and there are plenty of restaurants within a few minutes’ drive if you don’t want to cook (as well as a local grocery store if you do). The staff at the shop also helped us narrow down our itinerary when we were trying to figure out how to structure a couple of days (suggested to combine Mauna Kea and Kīlauea into one long day rather than break it up, which gave us an extra day at the beach!). This may be the best vacation home we’ve ever rented and was a magical introduction to Kona. Mahalo, Ben.

Beautiful place, well appointed, friendly host, had a great experience

Great location! House is fabulous with lots of amenities not listed.

What an incredible stay! Ben was the ultimate host. He was extremely responsive and welcoming. His place was immaculate and very well stocked. The main bed was super cozy with a massager and ability to adjust your head and legs. The view was spectacular and we saw spouting whales while sitting and enjoying our morning coffee. The snorkeling across the street is one of the best on the island. We enjoyed watching the sunset every evening. The colors were amazing.

Wow! This was hands-down the most magical place we have ever stayed. We felt so lucky to spend the entire week here.Ben is incredibly welcoming and the house is absolutely stunning & so clean! We spent so much time on the lanai enjoying the view of the ocean and all the thoughtful amenities provided—beach towels, beach chairs, cooler bag, huge closets, super-comfortable beds, and more. It was so nice being able to walk to the beach for snorkeling, then come back for a quick lunch or relax in the house.We rented snorkel gear from the surf shop for the whole week and our son took a private surf lesson (wish we had booked that sooner—it was the highlight of his trip!). Everything was perfect - we already can’t wait to come back! Thank you Ben!

This place was incredible! Stayed here with our 13 year old son. The home was immaculate and had everything! I can’t say enough great things about the home, the amenities, and the host was amazing. Truly a great find.

The room was clean and functional, and we were pleasantly surprised by how well equipped it was with amenities and supplies. The fresh avocados, bananas, and lilikoi from Ben’s farm added a lovely tropical touch to our meals. Ben was very responsive to our questions, which made our stay comfortable and worry-free.

WONDERFUL!!! Right from the moment we arrived, Ben was the most welcoming host we have ever encountered in our many stays in vacation rentals. The house was pristine and had everything we needed. The location was perfectly located for beach access at Kahaluu Bay and quick access to downtown Kona shops via the free trolley. While everyone else was scrambling for parking and we were in the water enjoying the wide variety of fish! Highlight was the turtle that swam right alongside us. We honored the ten foot distance but the turtle did not!! We ate dinner and watched the sunset over the bay every night. Ben also runs the Kahaluu Surf & Sea and his customers were as happy with his care there as we were with our incredible stay. Can't wait to come back and stay again. Perfect vacation!!!! Thank you so much Ben and crew!!!!

Would rate 100 stars if possible. By far the most meticulously clean and well decorated vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in. Incredibly well appointed with every thing you could possibly want or need. Location was perfect an host was awesome. Thanks so much for a great vacation.

The place was incredible and the guys at the surf shop were the BEST!!!

The warmth and the attentiveness from the host and the comprehensiveness and abundance in amenities

Ben is an amazing host, the place is right across from the ocean and park with snorkeling.

Ben was a great host!!! My wife and I had a great time here and highly recommend the location. Having the surf shop downstairs was a huge plus and we still had complete privacy. We will definitely be back.

This is a beautiful house! It has all the amenities and more. Everything is fully stocked with everything you could need. Very clean and beautifully decorated. The host was amazing and was always in communication. Check in and check out is super easy. The ocean views are amazing and there are several lanais where you can sit and eat. 10/10! We will definitely stay here again.

Top 3 VRBO I've ever stayed at. Great location, upgraded property, lots of room, best stocked unit I've ever seen. I will definitely stay here again on our next visit. Right across the street from the ocean and 50 yards from a beach/park. Good bed, well stocked bathroom, lots towels, well appointed kitchen. Convenient location south of the airport. Off street parking. Great lanai overlooking the ocean. LOVE IT.

The house was amazing - the kitchen had every appliance and utensil I could ever need. It’s an absolutely gorgeous home. We enjoyed our meals on the deck with the water view and loved walking across the street to go snorkel. The staff in the surf shop downstairs were super friendly and helpful too! It was an fantastic experience for me and my two boys!

This was a great property and the location was perfect. Ben and his staff at the surf shop were infinitely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this as a location to surf, snorkel and sight see in Kona.

Incredible Kona experience at Nalu Hale. Ben is the most thoughtful, nice and kind person. Anything one could ever need in a property was at our disposal, including one heck of a view of the ocean across the street and just as important a very clean and comfortable place. Ben and his surf shop crew took extremely well care of us and were able to enjoy some fantastic snorkeling, paddle-boarding, and surfing just a few steps from the house. Location was optimal with several other beaches nearby and the town just a few minutes drive. Without a doubt THE place to stay as it offered us a combination of amenities, comfort, and laid-back vibe we were so much looking for. Having the grill was a game changer! I'll be booking this place again our next visit to Kona. Thanks Ben!!!

The place was very clean and has everything you could possibly need from cooking utensils, towels and linens to beach supplies. The location is great! Close to food, shopping, activities and best of all the beach and snorkeling cove across the street!! Ben is so welcoming and helpful. It was a great stay! Highly recommend this place and will stay here again the next time we visit!!!

Loved the location, awesome house! Our family of 4 (teen kids) loved the place - our son was out surfing every day and we could watch from the lanai - perfect!! Loved all the “extras” in the house, grilled a bunch & kitchen had everything. 5 minutes or less to a good grocery store & central location to explore the Big Island. Ben was super responsive and great to work with. Highly recommend!!!

This is truly a five star review. The house was right across the street from excellent snorkeling and surfing. The house was one of the most well equipped and clean properties we’ve rented. The host was super friendly and helpful. It was a perfect Hawaii house for our family.

We loved our stay - the location couldn't have been more perfect. Our host was attentive while giving us complete privacy; available when needed but never intrusive. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook elaborate meals, and we appreciated the thoughtful welcome gifts of chocolate, wine, and fresh avocados. The grill was a nice touch, too.The best part is just how close to the ocean we were. Just steps from the front door, there's a consistent surf break and one of the island's best snorkeling spots. The house and bedrooms were very comfortable and clean, and we were provided with all the beach essentials for our adventures. We took advantage of the outdoor shower and laundry access. This is one of my favorite vacation rentals. 10/10, would do again.

Ben spared no expense in the updates made to his home. Everything is absolutely first class. Too many amenities to list them all. Ben quickly responds to all messages and even let us check in a little early. I’ve snorkeled in many areas of Hawaii, and I have to rate Kahalu’u Beach as my #1 favorite place, which is located across the street. The bay is large and shallow, so the visibility was great with the fish and turtles just 3 to 4 feet away. Entry is easy enough for small children, with two lifeguard stations actively watching. We have only great things to say about our stay. Everything was just the best, we only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks for everything, Ben!

Ben's place was amazing. Kiddy corner to excellent snorkeling and surfing. We had a fantastic time. Well appointed, we had zero complaints. To top it all off, watching the whales play while we relaxed on his Lanai.We would recommend a stay here.

Amazing property, great host!

No notes. This place is off the hook. Actually no it’s awful, stay away, we want it to be available whenever we want 😁 Seriously though — Ben is as attentive and gracious a host as you could ask for, and the place itself really is top notch. We’ll be back, repeatedly.

This was a beautiful property. I highly recommend this one and would happily stay here again

We stayed the week here for our first trip to Hawaii! The house is beautiful and everything we needed for the week was there. It is steps from the beach and perfectly located behind Kahalu'u Bay Surf and Sea. They had everything that we needed to try out all of the activities on the beach. Ben made sure everything was ready and was incredibly responsive to any questions. Including the best surfing times. Christopher at the shop was always friendly and helpful. We took surfing lessons and Eli and Tony were amazing instructors. They taught our whole landlocked family how to catch waves. This was the perfect stay and I hope to return soon!
