About the Space
Tucked into the quiet seaside community of Terramar Beach, Big Kahuna is a large waterfront 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 22 people— so invite the whole crew to join you for an unforgettable group getaway to the Texas coast.

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.

“After laying a loved one to rest, this cozy beach house was exactly what my family needed to unwind. There were 15 of us, with plenty of space! Each room was set up beautifully, nice open kitchen, very clean bathrooms, and the laundry room was definitely needed after a long beautiful day at the beach. The pool was great as well! Sitting out on the balcony was relaxing after eating burgers on the grill. Every second was absolutely amazing with my family. I would definitely book again! Perfect place to make memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you for hosting us, your attentiveness was greatly appreciated. 🙏🏼”
“Great experience. Having lived in Galveston for many years, it felt like home. If you want the typical island living, this fits the bill.”
