The Big Kahuna | Two Luxe Villas + Double the Fun Steps from Siesta Key Beach

Why You’ll Love This Home
More space. More privacy. More memories. The Big Kahuna brings two luxury homes together under one roof for the ultimate Siesta Key experience. Just a 2-minute stroll to the white sands of Siesta Key Beach, this rare dual-unit retreat offers 8 bedrooms, 2 heated pools, and an unbeatable location in the vibrant heart of Siesta Key Village.

‍‍ Perfect For
Multi-family vacations, wedding parties, or large groups wanting separate spaces with shared outdoor fun—all just steps from the beach and dining.

️ Imagine This
Picture your entire crew—24 guests strong—spread across two bright, beach-inspired homes. Each morning, gather on the balconies with coffee while the kids splash in two private pools below. Walk barefoot to the beach for a day of sun and surf, then head back for poolside cocktails in your private cabanas. When evening falls, some of you cook up seafood feasts in one full kitchen while others mix drinks in the other. Dine alfresco, laugh late into the night, and repeat it all tomorrow—because The Big Kahuna is built for togetherness without compromising personal space.

"Our week at Big Kahauna was perfect!! The location was amazing…walking distance to shops, the beach, the market, and restaurants. The house was fantastic. Exactly as described and perfect for our group of 20. Lots of beach equipment provided and the ice delivery was an awesome added perk!
Really appreciate The Cottages quick responses to my questions and handling a few minor repairs. Will definitely stay here again!

"Perfectly located for enjoyment of the beach, live music, and fantastic food and drinks. We could walk to everything. Great space for young and old. Really appreciated the heated pool!! Accommodations are situated on separate floors and not side by side. Felt a little rushed on the departure.

Fantastic Family Vacation!

Review Date: March 2, 2023

"From the moment we walked in and saw the personalized welcome cupcakes, we knew we'd made the right choice. The place was beautiful, clean, spacious, well equipped with everything we needed and beds are comfortable. The heated pool was enjoyed by all and the convenient location made it a breeze to walk pretty much anywhere we needed to go. We'll be back!
