You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Roomy waterfront home with boat slip and large deck

Tucked into the quiet seaside community of Terramar Beach, Big Kahuna is a newly remodeled home with a fresh and modern vibe. The home is located on a deepwater canal just 2 minutes from the beach and has tons of spacious, sun-drenched deck space, an outdoor shower, a boat slip, and a charcoal grill. There’s enough space at Big Kahuna for up to 20 people— so invite the whole crew to join you for an unforgettable group getaway to the Texas coast.

Modern Beachy Living:

The soaring, two-story, contemporary living area has plenty of space for your whole group to unwind and spend time together. Plush, overstuffed sofas face a flatscreen television that’s mounted to a crisp white shiplap wall. Kick back here in the evenings with some snacks and a favorite movie. Glass accent tables and stylish armchairs complete this comfy, modern space.

The kitchen is laid out in an efficient u-shape and features quartz countertops with a tiered peninsula bar. Flip a stack of fluffy banana pancakes in the mornings, or mix a batch of frozen margaritas at happy hour— the kitchen is fully equipped to handle it all. The bar space has seating for four people, while the dining table has seating for eight. A powder room and laundry room are located around the corner.

Four Ensuite Bathrooms & Fifth Bedroom Downstairs:

Down the hallway from the living area, the master bedroom has a king-size bed. The attached ensuite bathroom has a separate shower, soaking tub, and marble-topped vanity.

Upstairs on the third level, there are three more bedrooms— each with their own private, attached bathrooms. The first bedroom has two queen-size beds, a twin-over-full freestanding bunk bed, and two twin-size built-in bunks. The second bedroom has a king-size bed, a built-in twin-size bunk bed, and access to the third-floor deck space overlooking the canal. The third bedroom on this floor has a king-size bed, a twin-over-full size bunk bed, and a built-in twin-over-twin size bunk.

Catwalk to Canal Views:

Brew up some fresh morning coffee and take your mug outside to the deck. Stay on the attached deck space or walk across the short catwalk to the free-standing deck over the boat launch. With views of the sparkling canal and quiet neighborhood, you’ll spend most of your time here. Sunbathe on one of the chaise lounges or stay in the cool shade on the Adirondack chairs.

On the ground level, another bedroom has a full-over-queen built-in bunk space, flatscreen television, and a bar top table for card games or board games. Outside, there’s an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day of fishing or hanging out at the beach. The covered dock space has a slip for parking your boat. Make sure to bring your fishing gear— there’s great fishing in the canal. And the Terramar Beach access point is a quick 2-minute drive from the home.

You'll have access to the entire home, plus parking for up to five cars in the driveway.

Great Vacay, but house needs some love.
2nd time staying at Big Kahuna. We love the outdoor spaces, but house needs some serious love. Plank flooring has huge gaps making them stumbling spots. Master shower pan has been poorly patched making it uneven. Water takes 5-10 minutes to heat up and then is only warm. The house has so much potential as it is big enough to accommodate 20 guests comfortably. Wonderful memories have been made, but should we return we will look into other properties.

Nice location but needs maintenance
The property location is nice but the house needs some couple maintenance. The door knob is broken, some nails exposed on top floor, kitchen floor has some opening, ants and spiders found on bed, some of the bunk bed smelled bad. Need better cleaning. The listing pictures are not same as reality. The property manager is very responsive. Regardless all the issues, we had a great time and just wished the property is in better shape.

The property needs some TLC
The home had a great floor plan, but was in need of repairs. The overall dingy and tattered state didn’t set the vacation off on the right foot.

Would not recommend staying here
The images vs how the property truly is in person is completely deceiving. Upon arrival, as we tried opening the door, the whole door knob to the main door fell off, this was already a sign to a bad start. A broken door knob to the main entrance can’t possibly be something overlooked as this is the main door to the 2nd floor patio. The property was dirty with stains against the kitchen walls, this property looks like it may have been damaged by previous renters and the owners of the property never fixed the issues. I walked the property, it looked like the place was currently being renovated. There were multiple holes in the wall by the toilet and shower, crown molding pulled off of the wall and just laying by the shower. The shower in the room with a single king and double bunk would not turn more than 1/4th the way which made the shower only have cold water. The shower for the room with multiple bunks and 2 queens had water collecting at the bottom while showering. The very top of the stairway has a broken plank piece where the carpet and flooring met and left an unsafe walking area for small children as the wood and nail was exposed. I had to contact the property at 4pm (check in time) since code for check in was ever sent to me. I was told to send a text to a number provided of any issues I encounter. I never received a response from management. The main door remained broken the whole time we were there and I never had anyone reach out to me to come fix anything.
