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 half bath and laundry room are located around the corner.

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 and a twin-over-full bunk bed with twin trundle. The second bedroom has a king-size bed and access to the third-floor deck space overlooking the canal. The third bedroom on this floor has a king-size bed and twin-over-full bunk bed.

On the ground level, a fifth bedroom that doubles as a game room has a full-over-queen built-in bunk space, flatscreen television, and a bar top table for card games or board games. This room is connected to the main house through an interior staircase. 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 can definitely tell this is a high volume rental. There are beds everywhere. However, there doesn't seem to be enough seating (living room), nor kitchen appliances to accommodate the amount of people this rental can sleep. I'd suggest adding a second refrigerator, bigger oven/stove. More comfortable seating outside on the deck would be greatly appreciated. the kitchen seemed to be very disorganized, but I guess that's to be expected. I thought the house was overall dingy compared to pictures. The flooring is overall awful, and half of the bathrooms need some work, in regards to stains and caulking. we had a nice time, but the physical attributes of the house definitely need some work.

Property was tired. Neighbors on right side gave a very unfriendly impression. Many warning signs. Neighbors on left were very nice. My family consisted of oldest 87 youngest 58. Not a very wild bunch. How I define tired - carpet was taped at top of stairs because it was frayed -poor taping job btw kitchen wood floor was splintering, deck wood needs repair, shower doors didn't close completely, a bit of shower mold in the corners, molding, flooring had gaps -poor finish job (not new work) .

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.
