Can anyone suggest a nice hotel or house rental in Bali?

I have a buddy who's going in July and wants a nice place to stay where his wife and young boys and girls will enjoy it.

He's says it's a family trip with a bit of surfing thrown in.

Is it better to stay outside of Kuta? Closer to Ulu or go to the complete other side of the island?

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Saw a nod for Blue Point Villas...

Unfortunately, haven't stayed there

Mark, I love talking about Bali! I think Kuta is good for a family trip. There are tons of things to do there, including surfing for the kids. Kuta beach break is super mellow, at times, and there are all kinds of board rentals on the beach.
I like staying in Bingin for surf, and Lynnie's is the best place to stay there. Cheap and mellow, and great food. But there is not much to do down south. The other side of the island doesn't get the favorable winds in July, except in the morning, but is also not as crowded.
Ubud is inland but good for families and kids, kind of the cultural center of Bali. Hope this helps!

Mark - check out this KSUSA thread on CapnFletch's B&B in Canggu, Bali. Always good to give business to kneelos, eh?
