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.

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!!!!

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.

Incredible house and location!

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!

Excellent House!

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!!!

Wonderful Place on the Big Island

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!

Perfect Hawaiian Beach House

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!

About the host

Hosted by Ben Callaghan

Host profile image
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.
