About this property

Big Kahuna: Semi-Oceanfront | Tiki Bar | Fire Pit

Big Kahuna is a semi-oceanfront home in Hatteras Colony just steps away from the pristine beaches of Avon. An open-concept floorplan and abundant natural light make this cozy cottage feel bright and airy. Updates including hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances provide a fresh look while maintaining the home's coastal charm. The living area leads out to a sun deck where you can soak up the rays while enjoying the salty ocean breeze. Three bedrooms, including a king ensuite, make Big Kahuna the perfect choice for two couples or small families. A recently added rec room downstairs includes a sleeper sofa and half bath. Choose between foosball or try your hand at darts. There's even a mini fridge and ice maker for refilling your beverage without having to go upstairs. Outside, a fabulous entertaining space on the ground level includes thoughtful additions such as a tiki bar, fire pit, grilling area and fish cleaning table.

When it's time to hit the beach, use the neighborhood walkway right across the street for quick and easy access to the sparkling Atlantic. Big Kahuna is located on the northern end of Avon, just past the 11-mile stretch of undeveloped National Seashore that separates it from Salvo. A four-minute drive south will take you to the heart of town, where you'll find the Avon Fishing Pier along with a variety of locally owned boutiques, surf shops, and dining options.

No pets allowed. No smoking/vaping.

The big kahuna was the big easy!

We loved that the others stayed true to the OBX cottage on the outside but clean and hip decor on the inside. Creative use of space
