My husband and I, along with our teen boys, spent four days here last week. The home is everything the description/ photos promise and much, much more. The location can’t be beat! We enjoyed exceptional snorkeling across the street every morning and surfed most afternoons…also just right across the street. The main lanai might be the most unique part of this particular property, which includes breathtaking views, the murmur of surf lessons, custom-made bar/cooler, and charming geckos. Ben is a lovely human and took excellent care of us, as did the whole team at the surf shop. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in island surf and sea culture, this is the home for you!

My family and I had an amazing time. The property is as gorgeous as the pictures show, and is perfect for a small family. It's just steps away from some of the best snorkeling I've ever seen at Kahalu'u Bay, and just a few minutes drive from Kailua-Kona. Our host Ben was incredibly welcoming, and his crew at the surf shop were helpful as well. We will definitely be back!

If i could give it more stars I would. This place was perfect for our active family. The space, the views, the amenities, the location.....it has it all.
The people at the surf shack downstairs were so nice, we never had problems with anything.
I can't say enough, probably the best vacation I've ever had. I don't know when but we will be back

The home is exactly as pictured, very clean and the beds, couches, chairs all very comfortable. Location is awesome! The is our first time to big island, we toured the island and will be returning to this location. The bay/beach across the street is great, surfers, snorkeling and nice waves all day long. Inside is thoughtfully stocked and arranged, including cooking ingredients, like spices and oils, to great appliances / utensils. The host is responsive and kind. The connected surfshop went above and beyond, very professional, wonderful people. Overall 10 stars.

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!

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!

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.

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.

The vibe of this property is even better than the pictures. The house is beautifully furnished and decorated, kitchen is fully stocked and the location is great, a bit away from the Kona tourists but close to whatever is needed, restaurants, grocery, activities. Snorkel and surfing right across the street, sunsets every evening. The owner Ben and the staff in the surf shop were always there if we had a question or needed anything. Appreciated the fruits from his farm and other thoughtful gestures.

This was one of the best experiences with Vrbo we have had. My friends and I stayed at the Ocean Front Beach house for a week and could not have asked for a better experience. The property manager was available when needed, the property was spacious, clean and had everything we needed for an enjoyable vacation. Another bonus is the the property's ideal location with spectacular snorkeling and swimming just steps away. We hope to return in the future and would recommend this property to anyone vacationing in Hawaii!
