Great getaway!

We loved the house on the canal! Loved the brightness inside. It was clean, had what we needed.....Comfy couch/beds, good water pressure in the showers. Took advantage of the kayaks on several occasions! Kids played in the canal and had a fun time! There's no ladder, so it was a bit difficult to get back up on the decking.....But they managed! Neighborhood was quiet & peaceful! We enjoyed watching the mullet fish jump 3 or 4 times in a row across the canal. Saw some pretty big fish at night under the neighbor's green light in the water. Drove down to the beach and watched the sun rise one morning. Was BEAUTIFUL! Would rent again!

Great stay

The house was as described online, accommodated my family of 6 easily. Kitchen was adequately stocked for the cooking we did. Boat slip was a little too small for our boat but we parked on the outside of the slip so it worked out.

Great getaway

We had a great time at this Sea Isle canal house. Carla was a great communicator and quick to respond. My kids loved fishing in the canal right from the edge of propery. There was even a sink outside downstairs where we could wash our hands after baiting our hooks. We also enjoyed using the kayaks that came with the property.

Great experience

This was our first vacation post COVID-19. We had 10 people in our group. This home provided more than enough sleeping arrangements for all of us. The owners have also provided everything you need as far as toiletries, linens, toys for the beach, fully stocked kitchen (except for groceries), and a washer and dryer!! They have 2 kayaks that seat 2 people each, and you also get access to the community fishing pier. If your trip is rainy like ours they also are stocked up on family board games. The neighborhood was great, there is a marina, bait shop, and restaurant right in the neighborhood. Beach access is across the main road which is only a few blocks away. Only negative thing is the swimming pool. You are not allowed access to the neighborhood pool. Not really a big deal but we do like a swimming pool. Other than that I can't think of one bad thing to say about this wonderful property.

galveston getaway

This ended up being a perfect pandemic vacation. We loaded up the car and drove from Austin and only left the house to go visit the Sea Isle beach which was a 2 minute drive away and not crowded at all and a quick trip to the Sea Isle store for bait and ice cream. Otherwise we hung out at the house as we had everything we needed there. The fishing and crabbing was plentiful enough to keep my 2 boys entertained... although everything was too small to try to eat. We were all exhausted after each day of sun and fresh air at the beach and fishing at the house and so slept well. Hope to visit again even when the pandemic is over.

Family Getaway

Overall the home had plenty of space for family time whether inside or outside. The outside deck is very spacious and the downstairs setup is great for bbq/grilling and cooking (we brought a portable stove). Having a sink downstairs is a great feature sink since you can do fishing right from the backyard. Our family is very big on fishing so having access to the pier was a great amenity. My family had a great time, thank you Carla for being so available throughout out stay and responsive to all my questions.

3rd annual family vacation

Going to make this short. Nice house. Perfect for large family. Carla was amazing for answering questions. She brought alot off board games to play. Likes: perfect location. Water hose to fill up my toddler's pool. Kayaks were the very best! Large upper deck for gatherings and play time. Plenty of seating inside and out! Open yard to play. Plenty of parking for 4 cars. (My daughter goes to college in Houston, she drove her own car to the house. And my brother was an unexpected visitor so there's another car) Dislikes: no washing machine. There is a missing banister on the upper deck but used a chair to cover it. Stickers in the yard (got into my dog's fur and paws). All in all, we had a perfect time! Our family goes to Galveston every year for a family vacation. This was perfect place to host 3 different families. The kayaks were the highlight every evening for the teens along with adults. The bar downstairs is perfect for adults while the littles played in their toddler pool. The deck upstairs was perfect for our large family to hang out in the evenings. Plenty of seating and plenty of space for the littles to play up there. Thank you Carla for hosting your home to our large family and allowing our dogs to be apart of it. Love, The Castelli's, Denobrega's, and the Hamilton's.

About the host

The Wade family lives just an hour away from Wade Inn, and has enjoyed this house as a weekend vacation home for 8 years.

Why they chose this property

We have decided to share Wade Inn with others, so that more folks can make special memories and enjoy their Galveston vacation getaway in a fun beach house that has plenty of room for dining, visiting, lounging, fishing, sunning, swimming, kayaking, and relaxing!

What makes this property unique

You will love spending time in the morning or evenings on the spacious upper deck with plenty of seating for your group. Inside there is a large and open family room with an updated kitchen and long breakfast bar. Room for dining, watching TV and playing games. Downstairs you can enjoy the Rainbow Bar, grill up a burger, take the kayaks out into the canal and on into West Bay, dine, fish, or just enjoy watching the fish jump in the canal. You can bring your boat and tie it up under the boat house.
