Fenced Yard ~ Cargo Lift ~ Fire Pit ~ 3-minute walk to beach!

As owners who truly love this home, we've made sure every detail is perfect for your beach vacation. Here's what you can expect:

For our furry friends, we have a yard fenced around the stairs, ensuring their safety and providing a space for them to enjoy.

With a straight, 3-minute walk, you'll find yourself stepping onto the soft sand of the beach, ready to soak up the sun and enjoy the waves.

Located between barrels 100 and 101, our beach area tends to have fewer crowds, allowing you to relax and unwind in a peaceful setting.

For added safety, there is a gate at the top of the stairs, giving you peace of mind, especially if you have young children or pets.

The beach house features a deck that wraps around three sides, offering a partial ocean view from the front corner, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee.

Each bedroom has its own attached bathroom and a Smart TV, ensuring comfort and entertainment for everyone in your group.

Experience a restful night's sleep on our comfortable memory foam mattresses. We provide linens, and the beds are made for your convenience. Foam toppers can be removed if you prefer a firmer mattress. Queen sofa sleeper in living room.

The fully stocked kitchen awaits you, complete with a small coffee maker and a selection of coffee, Keurig pods, creamer, sugar, and stevia. Start your mornings off right with your favorite cup of joe.

Relax in the living room with a 75" Smart TV and access to DirectTV Stream, providing entertainment options for cozy nights in. There's even a DVD player and a library of over 100 DVDs to enjoy.

Fire up the charcoal grill and make use of the grill tools to enjoy a delicious barbecue. Bring your own charcoal and starter fluid.

To enhance your beach experience, we provide a wagon, chairs, canopy, and toys, ensuring you have everything you need for a fun-filled day by the shore.

As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit in the evenings to roast marshmallows, share stories, and create lasting memories with your loved ones. Marshmallow/hot dog sticks are provided. Bring your own fire wood or buy it locally.

With its ideal location, pet-friendly amenities, and thoughtful features like the cargo lift and fire pit, MAD Waves Beach House on the Bolivar Peninsula promises a memorable coastal vacation for all!

*Please note that there are two outdoor security camera recording the bottom of the stairs and bottom of the cargo lift and back yard. Cameras are on and recording 24/7. Host only checks cameras at check-in and check-out to insure the maximum number of guest at the property as well as undisclosed pets. If undisclosed pets or guests are discovered, host has the right to cancel reservation without a refund.

We absolutely loved our stay even though it rained almost everyday. We were still able to ride the side by side on the beach and enjoy watching the waves. We didn’t collect any seashells this time but will on our next stay. Loved that we were able to take the dogs! The house is beautiful and the host was great! Will definitely be booking again soon!
