Hands down one of the best homes we have ever stayed at. The view was spectacular and Ben was an amazing host. The place was spotlessly clean and it was fully stocked. The beds were comfortable and it was so nice having air conditioning. It was so much fun watching the surfers right outside and listening to the waves crash up against the rocks. I would recommend this vrbo to everyone and if we are lucky to make it back to Kona, we will for sure be renting this home. Thank you so much for your hospitality Ben.

We can't say enough positive things about this vacation rental or the people! Ben is super helpful and kind, as are his staff at the surf shop Chris and Jack. The rental has everything you need, including coolers for beach days, and an excellent sunset view. Ben was very responsive whenever we had a question, *and* our snorkeling gear, boogie boards, and beach umbrella and chairs were included in the vacation rental! The location is also great. You can easily walk to a very accessible and lifeguard-watched decent snorkeling beach, plus you saw close enough to whatever tours you sign up for without being surrounded by other tourists all the time. We will 100% stay here again when we come back to Kona.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
