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.

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!

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.

Family Fun
My family and I stayed at Mad Waves for a little Spring Break quick trip. This location exceeded our expectations, home was cozy and had all needs and wants. Our host went above beyond to make sure we were taken care of! Perfect family spot, loved the small touches of providing games! We played uno on the patio for hours. Lastly, location! Could sit on the deck and hear/see the ocean or just walk to the beach! Highly recommend!

Fun & relaxing renewal
My husband & I from Georgetown and our bff from Houston met and came to Mad Waves together for 4 nites of catching up on on each others lives and found ourselves in the the right place. The house was imaculate and lovely. The floor plan worked well and there was everything we needed. We loved sitting at the big table on the deck with our am coffee and in the evening with dominos and wine. Our pup loved the deck and the fenced yard was great for her. The luggage lift was a godsend for moving our things up and then down considering we are all in our 7th or 8th decade. Neighborhood was quiet and ate some great seafood at local restaurants. All in all, A+++

Property was great! Only complaint is that the pictures did not do the property justice! The property was so much better than the pictures. Hard to capture how nice this property was in pictures. Very clean and easy. Owner checked in on us and was responsive to questions. Will definitely stay again! Thank you!
