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 22 people— so invite the whole crew to join you for an unforgettable group getaway to the Texas coast. ● WINTER TEXAN RATE: Escape to the Texas Gulf Coast this winter!

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. ● Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home.

All of the rooms were clean and well organized. The host was quick with response to our questions. The kitchen was roomy and had all of the cooking pans. We look forward to booking this house in the future again.
