 "Sandpiper's Nest was a perfect retreat from long work hours and stress. The house was located right on the beach and at high tide the waves lapped over the steps. Morning coffee on the deck overlooking the ocean was the best way to start the day. Jim fished from the beach and caught a sea trout for dinner. The house is nicely decorated and the computer and wide screen TVs a nice perk. We would definitely return again." - Bobbie and Jim Carey, Atlanta, GA, 10/07/08
"We enjoyed our stay immensely! Our stay was totally for relaxation and we could not have picked a better place. Sandpiper's Nest is a wonderful beach house and located in an excellent spot in South Ponte Vedra. The house is beautifully decorated and is stocked with everything you could need during your stay. The deck is a wonderful place to relax in the evening after spending the day on the beach. We definitely plan to stay here again next year.Thank you Judy & Bill for allowing us to spend our week in your fabulous home!" - Darlene & Mack Strickland, Orange Park, FL, 09/17/08
"Our stay at Sandpiper's Nest was wonderful! The house was so clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The weather was perfect and we loved relaxing on the beach between trips to St Augustine, climbing 219 steps to the top of the lighthouse, and eating dinner at Caps. It was a perfect place for us to relax and enjoy our two little grandsons.We would love to visit again soon.Howard and Kathy" - Kathy & Howard Dunston, Aurora, Colorado, 07/21/08
"Hi Judy, Another delightful stay at Sandpiper's Nest. Don and I along with Paul & Elaine had such a good time. This year, we stayed in for dinner more often and really enjoyed the oceanview and relaxed evenings. We'll be back next year for sure.Margot Nappo" - Margot Nappo, Stanton, NJ, 05/20/08
"My husband and I chose Sandpiper's Nest to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary. We could not have picked a better location. All of the amenities were included in this well appointed home. We had a great time and would highly recommend this for a family...or a couple. ;)" - Robyn Cook, Madison, GA, 05/08/08

"Hi Judy, As you know, we have enjoyed all of your houses but we really found Sandpiper's Nest to be perfect for the four of us. Nice and bright and near the water. We spent a great deal of time on the deck and when I got home and sat on my own deck - I really missed the sound of the ocean. Don, Elaine, Paul and I all look forward to staying at Sandpiper's Nest next year. A perfect Beach House. Margot" - margot nappo, Stanton, NJ, 06/14/07

"PURE HEAVEN! We truly didn't want to leave this wonderful beachfront home with one of the best views we have ever had in the St. Augustine area. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed, the location was perfect, the beach was out the back door, and we had the privacy we were looking for. It could not have been better! Thank you Judy & Bill and we look forward to returning later this summer!!!" - Becky Donner, Augusta, GA, 04/09/07
"Absolutely wonderful!!!! Great and cozy, bright and clean. Wonderful beach and well equipped and furnished. Nothing negative at all. Very friendly to deal with...thanks Judy. Will definitely stay there again when time allows. HIGHLY recommended." - Erich Sperker & family, Manchester, TN, 03/23/07
"The house looked just like it did in the pictures, with cozy beach style and lots of great light from all the windows. We appreciated the house being well kept up and the ease of working with the Wrens in renting the house. Also, liked being a few steps away from the beach and hearing the ocean waves come to shore. Neat to see the various birds fly out to the ocean in the morning and then back toward land in the evening. This was a comfortable place to stay -- a place to just hang out by the beach and do nothing as well as a place within easy drives to various historic, nature, and golf attractions." - Karen & Brent M. with dog Venus, Whitefish Bay, WI, 12/27/06
"Wow, we really felt at home in the Sandpipers Nest. The home was stocked with everything that we needed to make ourselves comfortable. We loved that the home was child friendly, since we have 15 month old twins. The Wren's were wonderful to deal with and have done an awesome job making a vacation house a "home" ." - susan hudson, jacksonville, fl, 09/26/06
 "What a wonderful vacation! The house was perfect. Well decorated, very clean, and right on the beach. The Wren's have thought of everything. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. We definitely will be back." - Jason C, Roswell, GA, 09/18/06
"sandpiper was a great place to stay. it more than meet our expectations. every thing that you might want was there. we had a great time and culdn't of ask for a better place to stay and we plan on going again next year. judy was a great help and we thank her." - allan crews, lake city,fl, 09/15/06
"We had a wonderful time at the Sandpiper's Nest. It was very peaceful. The accommodations were great! The house is well stocked with everything you could possible need. It was far enough away for us to feel that we were truly on vacation, but close enough to home to have extended family come visit. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us." - Jennifer Flakus, Jacksonville, Florida, 09/10/06
"Another lovely experience from the Wren's. We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Sandpiper's Nest (7/22/06-7/29/06) and truly had a luxurious, stress-free vacation. We particularly felt blessed to be able to find a one-level property, as my husband has MS and motivating stairsteps is very difficult for him. We could not have asked for a more lovely or welcoming beach house, and truly felt that we were at "home." Thanks again, Bill and Judy. You are the perfect hosts." - Nancy Vines, Dexter, MO, 08/02/06
"This home is very clean, restful and well stocked. Much better than most rental homes. The wrens were very professional in their handling of the information needed and monies exchanged. I highly recommend. ( the site on the ocean is wonderful and private)" - The Selzer Family, Jacksonville, Fl., 07/27/06
 "We spent a week at Sandpiper's Nest the second week in May. We had a wonderful time. It was the first time staying in the St. Augustine area and it was great. The home was spectular and the views were breathtaking. We have plans on returning next Spring. I would recommend this place highly." - Kelley Wilson, 05/28/06
"What a treasure! The home is immaculate. There is a care here unlike most, to provide an atmosphere of home, each detail designed to ensure a relaxed, home-like environment,all the while overlooking the ocean. The beds with down comforters, fluffy pillows, plenty of blankets, towels, well equipped kitchen and beach necessities-chairs/toys/umbrellas. The deck has a wonderful table and chairs/loungers to allow a wonderful meal overlooking the ocean. The opportunities in nearby St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra, leave endless opportunities for fine dinners, both elegant(Ruth Chris) to family fun(Bogey's,Harry's etc..) The horse/buggy ride in St Augustine was wonderful, even as "locals" we learned so much. The pictures do not do the home full justice, it is even better in person! We were so grateful to have spent our week there. If you can find a spot, I recommend this most lovely and charming beach home.Sarah Elliott and familyTyler 11Beth 9" - sarah, jacksonville florida, 05/28/06

Oh-- and everything you are reading here about the beautiful location and environment are true. We definitely would like to come to this house." - Pam and Kimball Carey, Granville, Ohio, 04/15/06
"Sandpiper's Nest is MORE than we expected, which is saying alot!! I looked at the pictures online and was very pleased and even more impressed when we arrived. The home had everything we needed and more. It is BEAUTIFUL, comfortable, has a spectacular view and very close to St. Augustine. We didn't want to leave!! Thank you, Judy and Bill, for sharing your wonderful beach home with us." - Wendi & Larry, Altamonte Springs, FL, 04/04/06
 "We were fortunate to stay at Sandpiper’s Nest the week of Feb 5. As expected during this ‘quiet time’, it was cool, yet wonderful. The house is every bit as comfortable and charmingly outfitted as it appears in pictures. The location was perfect for us, about 15 minutes north of historic St Augustine yet with miles of quiet beach (at least in early Feb) just off the back deck. And it’s really the beach you come for, whether fishing, watching the pelican and shore birds feed, or walking at sunrise. Thank you, Judy and Bill, for making Sandpiper’s Nest available. Life is good!" - Robin, Frank + Peanut, Bluffton SC, 02/23/06
"We have just spent Christmas week at "The Sandpiper Nest"..what a thrill.for the past 8 yrs we have stayed at The Ponte Vedra Inn and Resort."Sandpiper" is the only way to go.
