Magnificent East Beach Home! Heated Pool, 5BR/5.5BA Sleeps 16

Welcome to Wading Inn, a stunning custom-built retreat in East Beach, completed in 2017 and proudly featured on the 2018 Christ Church Tour of Homes. Just a short stroll from the beach on the quiet stretch of Bruce Drive, this five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom home blends sophisticated coastal style with modern comforts, creating the perfect backdrop for unforgettable vacations on St. Simons Island. From the moment you step inside, the soaring eleven-foot ceilings, sunlit spaces, and thoughtfully chosen beach-inspired décor set the stage for relaxation and luxury.

The centerpiece of the home is its remarkable chef's kitchen, designed for gathering and entertaining. With its oversized built-in refrigerator and freezer, professional gas range, dual dishwashers, and an expansive island that invites everyone to pull up a seat, the space was created with both family meals and festive evenings in mind. The adjoining dining area, with a grand table that comfortably seats ten, flows seamlessly into the living room, where oversized furniture, a wet bar, and a large flat-screen TV encourage lazy afternoons or lively evenings spent together.

Beyond the glass doors lies the Lanai, a breezy extension of the home where indoor comfort meets outdoor living. Here, an outdoor kitchen and island seating set the stage for poolside refreshments, while a full-size refrigerator and convenient pool bath make hosting effortless. Just steps away, a cozy sunroom with a soaring fireplace and pecky cypress ceiling provides the perfect spot to unwind with a good book or evening cocktail. The private pool is truly an oasis, with a shallow entry for lounging or play, a built-in umbrella for shaded dips, and a six-foot bench beneath a sparkling waterfall. Whether you're basking in the sun, gathering around the outdoor dining table, or enjoying the warm glow of the pool lights in the evening, this space is designed to be the heart of your stay.

The first-floor primary suite offers a quiet sanctuary, with a king bed framed by comfortable sitting areas and a spa-like bathroom complete with a soaking tub, oversized shower, and walk-in closet. Upstairs, another living space with a coffee station and a porch overlooking the pool provides a second hub for relaxation. Four additional bedrooms each have their own en suite bathrooms, ensuring privacy for every guest. The highlight for children and the young at heart is the whimsical bunk room, with custom-built-in that sleep six, a nautical theme, and a playful reading nook filled with books and games.

Every detail of Wading Inn has been thoughtfully designed to make your vacation effortless and memorable. From the resort-style pool and spacious gathering areas to the cozy corners perfect for quiet moments, this home offers a little something for everyone. Whether you're here for a family getaway, a celebration, or simply to enjoy the beauty of St. Simons Island, Wading Inn invites you to settle in, unwind, and create memories you'll cherish for years to come.

St Simons Vacation

All was good with the property, clean, easy check in, everything worked as intended. Great area to access beach, walks for exercise and getting to local restaurants. One of the phantom screens malfunctioned during the last day, but didn't affect where we socialized that night, and I have those same screens at home, so I understood they can be finicky Great place to stay for kids and adults.

Myself, my 3 children and their spouses plus 7 grandkids checked into Wading Inn and were thrilled.

We had a fabulous time during our stay. We hated to leave. We hung out around the pool, enjoyed coffee in the mornings in the screened in porch, played cards at the dining table in the evening and walked the beach at night to view the stars over the ocean. The consensus was, it was “ the best vacation ever “. What a gorgeous home!!

Wonderful Stay

Our family had a wonderful experience staying in this beautiful home. The house was perfect. Was immaculately clean and well cared for. Everything we needed was easily accessible and available - VERY well curated. The pool area was delightful and the interior was very spacious. Pictures do not really do it justice as to how large the home was. It was also just a short walk to a quiet section of beach. Very highly recommend for families or groups.

One of our favorite rentals to date!

This home was very well thought out. Plenty of room for everyone and very beautifully decorated. Perfect location in proximity to the beach for the summer. We had the pool heated which was fun for the kids since it was chilly out and they couldn’t play at the beach. Management was very quick to respond when we needed anything. This home was one of our favorite rentals we have stayed at.
