Loved staying at Wade's Lookout

We had an excellent stay at Wade's Lookout. Property was in excellent condition and as described. Location to beach was awesome and they provided so many of the supplies we needed, it made our trip even easier. We had an amazing time there! Would love to return and would definitely recommend. 15 mins from great dining, state park with public beaches and shopping options. Only concern was owners might need to spray for bugs but it could be due to being in wooded area.

We had a great stay at this property! The house was very clean and very well stocked. Lots of extras including games, snacks, and beach gear. The walk to the beach is short and was the best part for us. There was plenty of firewood for the patio fireplace and we saw deer on the property daily. The only problem was the laundry was out of order which was an inconvenience and caused the need for a trip to the laundromat.
