The Big Kahuna house was fabulous! We had 11 people in our group and it was plenty spacious for all of us. The house was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well-equipped. There was actually an issue with the pool in a differnt house that we originally rented. However, the management team at Port Aransas Escapes immediately found another house for us without any issues or complications. They were very professional and accommodating.
Place was clean and everything was as described! Awesome place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our families as we tied the knot at the beach! The rooms were perfect and plenty of restrooms. The wide open kitchen and living were perfect for our dinners together. The golf cart was a great bonus as well. They were responsive to our needs and made our vacation easy!
The house is beautiful, laid out really nice. Plenty of space, could have used a bunk bed so two of the grandsons didn’t have to sleep together. The kitchen was stocked with everything to cook with. Plenty of towels for a big family. We had 15 and we were not crowded in the least. Very nice property and will probably try to book for next year.

Great home for our families. 4 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms on 1st level was great for older kids/young adults. 2nd level set up was perfect with 2 king suites. 3rd floor held our youngest with a day bed. She had her own space with her own TV. The description says there is a room with 2 kings in the bottom level but there were actually two separate rooms each with a king and that worked even better for us. We would rent again in a heartbeat.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a girls' trip with 16 ladies, and this home was absolutely amazing. The house was clean and beautiful, offering a perfect setting for our getaway. However, I have two suggestions for improvement. First, the bottom mattress of the trundle bed on the third floor needs an upgrade; you can literally feel the springs. Second, adding blackout curtains to that room would be beneficial, as it gets very bright and warmer up there. Additionally, though a minor point, several of us wished there was at least one full-length mirror. Overall, everything else was fantastic!

Reviewer Comments:
Our original concern with the home listing still has not been addressed. The house layout and sleeping arrangements are listed inaccurately. When this was brought to their attention, they wanted me to do their homework and send a detailed explanation of what the house contained. We chose the house based on the sleeping arrangements and this made it difficult for the 8 small children that accompanied our party.

My recent Port Aransas vacation deserves nothing less than a glowing 5-star review! This rental exceeded all expectations, offering an incredible experience that I'm thrilled to share.The prime highlight was its unbeatable location – just a short stroll to the beach, making daily seaside visits a breeze. The private pool turned out to be a kid's paradise, providing endless entertainment right in our own backyard.The temperature-controlled house was a saving grace, offering a cool haven after sun-soaked days. It made relaxing indoors as enjoyable as our outdoor adventures.The fully equipped kitchen was a pleasant surprise, catering to our culinary needs perfectly. It truly felt like a home away from home.Without a doubt, I'll be recommending this rental to friends and family headed to Port Aransas. With its beach proximity, private pool fun, comfortable interiors, and top-notch amenities, this vacation rental is a true gem. Our family's memories here will last a lifetime, and I can't wait to revisit in the future. Kudos for making our vacation truly remarkable!
We had a large group and the home accommodated us perfectly. The house was well equipped with easy access to the beach. We had a few hiccups but likely based more on personal standards and some out of control of the hands of the management.
