Family fun!

Terrific property and owner! The location is hard to beat with proximity to great snorkeling and surfing. The property has everything you need and the deck is a perfect place to watch sunsets, enjoy a meal/drinks, or just relax! We will be back!

A great beach house!

This is a special spot! We were warmly welcomed by Ben and his surf shop crew. We awoke each morning to the sights and sounds of early morning surf, enjoyed family meals on the lanai, had all we needed to cook full meals and enjoyed our comfortable bedrooms at night. The location is lively with the Beach Park across the street, which we found fun and entertaining. It is a short car trip into Kona and also convenient to destinations south. Highly recommend!

Nalu Hale is perfection..Wow!

This property is a great place to either just hang out and enjoy the view or use as a home base for island exploration. The amenities were very good and we were greeted promptly and cheerfully by Ben the owner. Ben is a great guy who made it clear that he was there for us if we had any issues. We had no issues at all. The property is very nice and modern with a super cool surf vibe. The kitchen is very nice and Ben had stocked a few things for us to help kick start our vacay. The kitchennis nicely appointed and we had no problem cooking for ourselves. Theres a lot to do right in the area. Snorkelling, surfing, SCUBA and shopping. Theres something for everyone in your group. We had surf lessons from Ben and the guys at Kahalu'u Surf and Sea and they were top notch. They made sure we caught some tasty waves and the kids were all smiles! We also rented snorkel gear from them. Snorkelling in Kahaluu bay was great. Easy access and we saw turtles, eels, octopus and tons of reef fish. We traveled extensively while there and coming and going from the gated parking lot was a breeze. Nalu Hale (Surf House) is a perfect place for your family vacation. It was exactly what our family needed for our first trip to Hawaii. Our kids are 17 and 14 so tough years to keep entertained, but they loved it here. Thanks again to Ben and his crew!

Great place!

Couldn't be more comfortable and well furnished. Gorgeous sunsets from the dining balcony every night; happy voices from the surf shop below during the day. Will definitely try to return.

Well appointed home with a deeply local feel

Ben was super helpful throughout our stay, including checking in with us jusr enough, and informing his surf ship employees to loan us gear! We may happily return and stay here again even though we almost never go to the same vacation location, let alone stay at the same place. Ben's Kahalu'u beach pad offered us: ridiculously amazing sunsets and whale watching from the front Lanai where we enjoyed all of the meals I prepared in the well appointed and stocked kitchen; a great launching point for trips to volcanoes national park in the south, a wander to the north, a quick 15 minute drive to Kailua Kona; and steps to fantastic snorkeling. Its rare to stay in a place that feels like everyone who comes there makes it a little bit better even if only just by caring for it well, much like a beloved family cabin. The LG laundry tower also came in clutch for us as did the ability to screen share to the tvs for in house music. I truly hope we are able to book and stay again. Ryan and Charlotte

About the host

Hosted by Ben Callaghan

Aloha,

My name is Ben and I have been a resident of Kona since 2011. Along with my wife Isha who was born and raised in Kona, we are stoked to welcome you to our beautiful slice of paradise. As life long surfers and ocean lovers, we enjoy spending our days helping others learn how to enjoy all the Big Island has to offer. We look forward to sharing our home and Aloha spirit with you!

Mahalo nui loa

Why they chose this property

Isha has called this place her home since she was 7 years old. She learned to surf at Kahaluu Bay and worked at the rental shop since the age of 10 picking up leaves in exchange for surfboard rentals. The previous owner loved her so much that he build her a tree house on the property. Her dream was to one day own the place she loved so much. With the help of her business partner and husband Ben, her dream finally became a reality.

What makes this property unique

Kahaluu is a very special place to us and we are blessed to be able to share what its like to live here with everyone else. Nalu Hale is literally steps from the ocean and one of the best beginner friendly surf breaks! Not only that, but Kahaluu Bay is one of the top 3 best spots to snorkel on the Big Island.

There is a surf school located on the property that offers lessons and beach rentals for all of your ocean needs. If you are a surfer or an avid ocean-goer, this is definitely the place for you.
