Great family place!
My family of 8 adults and 6 young kids enjoyed our stay at Wade’s Place. Having the two cabins allowed us to spread out so everyone had enough space to sleep, lounge and relax. We loved the outdoor fireplace, the large deck and the expansive yard. And the nearby beach was beautiful and we often had it to ourselves!

Clean, spacious, just as advertised
Great trip with friends. We really enjoyed the property and nearby restaurants as well as the very short walk to the beach. The place was clean and the amenities were accurate. Would definitely return.

Woodsy beach retreat
good space for a large group to spread out; lots of parking (many other places were very limited in parking) both houses are very close in proximity which was great for a large extended family, beach is close and beautiful. Owner was very responsive to any concerns we had. Would recommend to future guests

Beach house long weekend family getaway
Wade's cabin and lookout was a great place to stay for our inter-generational family. There was enough space for all of us to spend time together or apart. We enjoyed all the games that were available for use (Wii, large Scrabble board, Chess, etc.). The young adults went for a bike ride. The beach was within walking distance. The fireplace area with hanging lights was a great area. The house was well stocked with towels and kitchen items that we needed to make dinners for our large group of 12. The fridge and grill were a good size. We really enjoyed our stay!
