Enjoyed a wonderful week at Wade on In. Home is in immaculate shape, wonderful part of the neighborhood, a five minute walk to the beach and into the heart of Captiva. All amenities just as promised. We have been coming to Sanibel/Captiva for more than 30 years and this home and location is one of our new favorites.

House was perfect for a relaxing, family Christmas getaway to the beach! The location couldn’t be any better. So close to, what feels like a private beach and easy access to Captiva. We loved it. Hot tub would have been great in December, and don’t forget to grab trash bags and toilet paper if you’re staying more than three days. But otherwise, exactly what we were looking for and so glad we stated at Wade On In!!

Perfect Location!

We loved the location - it could not have been more perfect! The home was comfortable and we had plenty of space for everyone in our group. The pool got a little hot mid day, but that didn’t deter the kids from swimming! We also really appreciated the beach cart and umbrellas!

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you "loved the location" and found it to be "perfect" – that's truly what we aim for! It's wonderful to know that our home was comfortable and provided plenty of space for everyone in your group. We appreciate your feedback about the pool getting a bit warm midday; it's quite common for our Captiva sunshine to heat things up, but we're so glad it didn't stop the kids from enjoying a swim! We're also thrilled that you found the beach cart and umbrellas useful. We try to provide those little extras to make your beach days as easy and enjoyable as possible. We loved having you stay with us in Captiva and hope to welcome you back for another wonderful getaway

This house was wonderful and had everything we needed and more. My family of 6 loved our stay here (children ages 14, 11, 8, and 3) We came when the weather was unfortunately very cold but we still made the best of our trip. We used our VayKLife credit for bikes and it was truly a lifesaver since some days it was too cold for the beach or pool, we biked all over and it was a really nice addition to our rental when we may not have rented bikes on our own without the credit. We did have one really warm day and it was great having the house so close to the beach, we could walk over easily and walk back if we forgot something or if our toddler wanted a snack. The company was great about answering any questions we had and always responded quickly. We will definitely be back!!

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I am thrilled to hear that your family of six had a wonderful stay, even with the unseasonably cold weather. It’s great to hear that the VayKLife credit came in so handy—it’s exactly why we offer it! I’m glad the bikes kept everyone from ages 3 to 14 active and exploring the island when it was a bit too chilly for the waves. It’s also wonderful to know that our proximity to the beach made that one warm day even better for you and the kids. We take a lot of pride in being responsive and quick to help, so I’m glad my team and I could be there for you. We would love to host your family again soon—hopefully with plenty of Florida sunshine next time!

Perfect location, cool house

The house had just been completely remodeled and it was very well done. The heated pool was private and perfect for our family. The beach was about a two minute walk from the house. Shops and restaurants were just blocks away, an easy walk or golf cart ride. We spent a lot of time enjoying the screened porch. Everyone loved our trip to Captiva!

We had an amazing stay here! It was a beautiful and well kept up house that was well stocked from the kitchen to beach towels and many extras. Very close to the beach and we appreciated all of the beach accessories the were provided. We really enjoyed reading on the screened in porch. The pool was wonderful. However, as one reviewer mentioned above, you could hear the neighbors next door all hours of the day. Very highly recommended!

Grandparents Annual Summer Vacation

This was a great family vacation. The entire property was exactly as described on the website and we could not have been more pleased. Great access to the beach which was less than a 5 minute walk. The home was large enough for our family to spread out if needed but would definitely be great for a couple looking for a getaway as well. Would definitely return. We had one small request for service that was handled by a gentleman that lives on the island within the hour. He knew the property and was in and out promptly. I was impressed!

We absolutely loved this property. It was in a perfect location: an easy walk to the beach, close to all of the great restaurants and stores, and close to the marina. The house has a great layout and was beautifully renovated. The landscaping is gorgeous along with the pool and outdoor area.

Awesome vacation with the kids.

Beautiful location, love the neighborhood vibe. Very private and close to beach and library (for the kids to get school work done). Lush vegetation, lots of birds and iguanas to watch. This home makes you really feel at peace and relaxed. The only bummer is the dishwasher broke on the 2nd day and we were told it would be fixed. After several attempts of asking when it would happen, alas our vacation ended. We didn’t have any paper products so we ended up washing a lot of dishes during our stay. We highly recommend the location and the well done renovation of this property!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the beautiful location, peaceful atmosphere, and thoughtful touches like the close proximity to the beach and library. It sounds like the perfect place for a relaxing family vacation. I'm incredibly sorry to hear about the dishwasher malfunctioning during your stay. We understand how inconvenient this must have been, especially without paper products on hand. It's frustrating to hear that you didn't receive a clear timeline for the repair. We strive for excellent guest experiences, and this falls short of that expectation. We've taken steps to address this issue and have had the appliance replaced. We're also reviewing our communication protocols to ensure guests receive timely updates on any maintenance situations. As a token of our apology for the inconvenience caused by the dishwasher, we'd like to offer you a discount on your next stay. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to provide you with a flawless stay in the future.
