**The Big Kahuna has just left our property management group (starting Jan. 2026) and we are managing it ourselves now, so we have no reviews yet but rest assured we're experienced hosts who will take great care of you. Please check out the reviews on our other properties.

Step inside and experience coastal luxury with high-end finishes and panoramic ocean views. This open-concept home features a fully-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, two dishwashers, three full sized refrigerators, commercial ice maker, and almost every kitchen gadget you can think of. The dining table seats 18, with additional bar seating for 6, ensuring everyone can dine together.

Outside, your private oasis awaits. Make a splash in one of the largest private heated pools on the island, featuring a tanning ledge with loungers, LED fountain, and an in-pool cocktail table. Or sit poolside and enjoy shaded conversation with friends in Adirondack or hanging egg chairs, or a daybed. You'll enjoy direct, private access to the beach, or a relaxing swing, via the shaded beachfront boardwalk. And as evening approaches, head to one of the two rooftop decks to relax in the 8-person hot tub while losing yourself in the majesty of the spectacular sunset.

Entertainment is absolutely everywhere at The Big Kahuna. For fun in the sun, you'll have cornhole, a bocce court, Spikeball, KanJam, two stand-up paddleboards, beach toys, boogie boards, four fat-tire bikes, a competition-grade beach volleyball net, and more. And when the beach cools down, the fun amps up with a regulation pool table, ping pong, a putting green, board games, and a video game lounge featuring classic arcade games, or bring your own system to play on the two HDTVs.

The Neighborhood
The Big Kahuna is perfectly located in the heart of Topsail Island, in Surf City. You are just a short walk (3 blocks or less) from local bars, restaurants, and a convenience store. The area is also a popular nesting ground for sea turtles, offering a unique chance to experience local wildlife. For more recreation, you'll find four golf courses, mini-golf, bowling, fishing, surfing, roller skating, and a playground nearby.

Getting Around
With free parking for up to 6 cars, driving is convenient. However, the home's prime location and the four included fat-tire bikes make it simple and fun to explore the immediate area without a car.

House Rules
To ensure a wonderful stay for everyone, we ask that you observe the following rules:
* The primary renter must be at least 27 years of age and must be present for the entire rental period. A photo ID is required.
* No pets are allowed.
* No smoking is permitted on the property.
* No fraternities, sororities, college, or youth groups are allowed.

Please note, the pool heater will only heat the water 10 degrees warmer than the forecasted low outdoor temperature. Contact us to add this option to your reservation.
* **Activity Waiver:** Use of the swimming pool, hot tub, stand-up paddleboards, bikes and all recreational equipment is at your own risk.
* **Family Amenities:** A high chair and a Pack 'n Play are available for your use. We do not have baby gates, unfortunately.

Cancellation Policy: One hundred percent (100.00%) of the total booking charges (less $250.00 taxable cancellation fee) will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 150 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. For cancellations made within 150 days prior to the arrival date, no refund will be issued.

Hello & Welcome to The Big Kahuna. After spending 20 years in the hospitality business, my wife and I decided to get our own piece of the vacation paradise market so we can provide a wonderful location for gatherings for friends and families. My business has always been to facilitate wonderful memories that last a lifetime and I know you'll create them here at The Big Kahuna.
