About this property

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!

About the host

Host profile image
My husband, Marc, and I bought this home in March 2021 as a vacation home and love it so much that we want to share it with guests when we aren't visiting. We live in Austin and have four adult children and 3 crazy but lovable dogs. I'm a mortgage Loan Officer and Marc is a Set Decorator in the film industry here. In 2021 we celebrated our 20-year Anniversary and what better gift than a new beach house! We love it here and hope you do too! I'm available to communicate throughout your stay and my co-host/cleaner lives close to the home. You will be well taken care of with us!

Why they chose this property

We love Crystal Beach and we love the location of this home. This was the first house we saw and immediately knew it had to be ours! We love being on the quieter end of the beach and love the direct access straight to the water.

What makes this property unique

Super clean! The lift is a bonus to avoid making several trips carting luggage, groceries and coolers up and down the stairs. We added the fenced yard in 2023 after almost losing one of our dogs who escaped down the stairs. It made our visits so much easier and less stressful! The fire pit was also added in 2023 and we love hanging out there at night making smores and enjoying an evening cocktail. The solar deck lighting adds great ambiance at night. The outdoor fish cleaning sink is convenient as well. Lots of extra touches throughout the home and we have provided pretty much anything you can think of. Just bring your clothes, mosquito spray, beach towels, groceries, drinks, swimsuit and flip flops for a great vacation at the beach!
