This big house has plenty of room for parking, which is a plus for a seven bedroom rental. It has a nice size private pool and breathtaking views of the gorgeous ocean. The main living space has a wall of glass for spectacular view. To me, this is why you opt to pay the big bucks. We stayed here five years ago and noticed a lot of items in need of repairs, so we stayed away from this house for several years. This year we returned assuming that the conditions had to have improved. We were very disappointed to find the condition much more deteriorated. There were wobbly railings, difficult beach access, many nails sticking out of the decking, exposed wiring in ceiling fans, sun rotted window treatments, the cheap plastic lounge chairs were all cracked and one man in our group fell hard onto the deck while simply sitting in an already broken chair. When we told the realty company of our disappointment, no one addressed our concerns. We paid a lot of money for a large house in poor condition. We have stayed in other beautiful rentals on Kure Beach and none of them were in poor condition to the extent of the Big Kahuna.
My overall summary would be: The Big Kahuna is a lovely location full of great views but unless you're certain that they have made repairs FOR YOUR SAFETY, I would suggest staying elsewhere. read more
