About this house rental
**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.

the hosts were great and very accommodating. Even when my car died in the driveway upon checkout. All information was clear and provided early. The house was great! so many amenities. The views and decks were amazing. I really want to go back in the summer.
