This massive beachfront home is the perfect for your family vacation. The nearly 4000 square foot home features 6 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, wet bars, a pool table, an outdoor kitchen and bar and grill, and 3,000+ square feet of an ocean-view deck. The furnished rear and front decks allow your guests to enjoy sunrise and sunset views, right beside the ocean. The deck on the first floor is covered, meaning you can enjoy the outdoors regardless of weather, providing additional peace of mind that your event will be a hit. Walk or drive a golf cart to the beach right in front of the house.
Hakuna Matata is one of the largest rentals on the Bolivar Peninsula, easily and comfortably sleeping 30 people, while still offering plenty of room to entertain and lounge. The house is filled with smart ROKU televisions with high speed internet for streaming your favorite shows, and using your own devices. There’s also a full-size pool table that is a guest favorite.
On the main floor you will find two living areas, so you can spread out and relax with plenty of privacy. One includes a faux fireplace for that cozy feel. There is also a wet bar, and a well-stocked kitchen with all you'll need to prepare snacks and meals, including a big granite island, chef's gas stove, microwave, and dishwasher. Indoor and outdoor dining tables provide seating for everyone. The second floor also includes a living area and another wet bar - entertaining space abounds! For your convenience the property also offers a washer and dryer.
The six bedrooms make sleeping your whole group a breeze! There are 3 bedrooms that each have one king bed (one of these also has an ensuite bath). A fourth bedroom offers 2 queen beds. The fifth bedroom has 4 queen beds and 2 twin beds. The largest bunkroom (bedroom 6) has 3 sets of twin over queen bunks! (This bunk room is on the first floor, while the other bedrooms are all on the second floor.)
On the ground level is an epic stainless steel kitchen and BBQ area with a full wet bar, so you can grill, drink, and enjoy the breathtaking view of the Gulf of Mexico all at the same time. You'll appreciate the outdoor shower when you want to rinse the sand off after a day on the beach.

Summer vacation
Our group had 4 families total, 8 adults and 17 kids. We had more than enough room in this spacious home. Our beach view and access were wonderful. Our only recommendation would be cooking utensils, pots/pans, bowls large enough to accommodate 30 people (total house capacity). It would have made it much easier on guests preparing meals in the home. Also, the house has a million dollar view of the ocean, the windows facing the beach could use a good cleaning for that first view wow factor. Overall we were very satisfied.
