one of my favorite locations on Bali is the area around Canggu and Echo beach. You are nicely positioned away from the craziness, manic traffic and over populated areas of Kuta, Legian and Seminyak.....although only a 20 min ride on the scooter if you need that type of action.

I wouldn't consider Canggu beach a beginners place, but many folks there taking lessons. I rented a Villa in that area for the month of August and was surfing most days and doing some good long beach running / walking when the tide was right.
Take a look and see what you think?

I have no idea what your budget it, but I used this site to book my place - https://www.airbnb.com
check trip advisor for Vacation rentals in the area also.

Enjoy Bali :)

Well if anyone still knows of a house to rent in Kuta for 2 weeks 3 mill rupiah or less would be great but hey might as well ask!! Need to be in Kuta unfortunately as it seems to have the best beginners surf at the moment. Any other thoughts appreciated! Thanks
