Comments From Guests of SandpipersNestFlorida

"Sandpiper's Nest is such a great vacation home--right on the beach, attractive & comfortable furnishings, and so quiet. We all loved (including our teenage children) this beach house. Can't wait to return!" - Anonymous, 01/06/12(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"What a wonderful vacation house Sanpiper's Nest is! The decor is charming, the ocean views and sunrises are incredible, and there's every amenity one could ask for. Judy and Bill have done an outstanding job in providing a well maintained and lovely rental. We'll definitely be returning." - Jack and JudieFreeman, Alva, FL, 09/20/10(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"This was one of the most adorable beach cottages I have ever seen. It felt like visiting someone's very well kept home, not a rental. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a vacation spot in the Ponte Vedra area." - Tim, Katie and Evan (2yo) Carmody, St. Augustine, FL, 06/06/10(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"We desperately needed some R&R and Sandpiper's Nest was the perfect place to unwind! It had everything we needed with a nice cozy home atmosphere. It was perfect for our family especially our grandson. The enclosed deck allowed him to play in the sun and seabreeze without our having to worry. We plan on many future visits. If you need a quiet and relaxing get away Sandpiper is the perfect home away from home!" - Debra Bowser, Jacksonville, FL, 10/01/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Wonderful beachfront house directly on ocean, nicely appointed and well-maintained. We lead intense lives in Washington DC and Hollywood CA and truly relaxed at Sandpiper's Nest." - John Martin Taylor, Washington DC, 09/28/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Nice quaint beach house with all the amenities of home and some you realized you didn't really need to pack. Very well equipped and comfortable." - Kevin, Lafayette Louisiana, 09/18/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Sandpiper was great. The decor and upkeep of this house is to be rivalled by every other rental we've stayed in, especially the cleanliness. The location is awesome; just far enough away from the crowd while still a short ride to St Augustine. The beach is wonderful - no crowds, only private properties, plenty of seashells and the house is practically ON the beach - no walk to get there - just a few feet out the back door and down the steps." - Anonymous, Atlanta, GA, 06/28/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"This was our first trip to South Ponte Vedra and we enjoyed it immensely. The house was perfect with all the comforts of home. We typically try to go somewhere different for vacations each year but will definitely be returning here. Thank you Bill & Judy for sharing your wonderful home with us and making our vacation everything we hoped for and more!" - Morgan & Rhonda Bayless, Middlesboro, KY, 06/09/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Spent a week with my son and family as my 70th birthday present. The house was fabulous; we had a wonderful time. Everything was comfortable and beautiful--especially the view. Would love to have stayed longer." - Jane Sullivan, 770-579-8599, 04/23/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"We had the most wonderful vacation at Sandpiper's Nest. Everything was just beautiful and we wanted for nothing. I am in a wheelchair and unable to walk so it is always a concern if things will be accessible or not, everything was wonderful! I enjoyed watching the dolphins from the built-in bench on the boardwalk. We hope to be back for several years to come. Thank you for sharing your home with us." - Deanna, Grandville, MI, 04/16/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"We just returned this afternoon from our third stay in one of Judy Wren's beach houses ... our second stay at the Sandpipers Nest. The house becomes a "home" as soon as you enter. It is a warm an comfortable home with all of the necessities including a fireplace for Feb cool evenings. Judy goes the extra mile to ensure that everyting is easy during your stay as well as making the rental process very easy. Thanks to Judy, we will be going back next year. We now love "The Reef", just south on A1A for wonderful dinners. Go to the Sandpipers Nest and enjoy a marvelous, vacation at a beach house that will welcome you with the beach just out the back door!!" - Betsy Willey, Toms River, NJ, 03/01/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"We have been vacationing in South Ponte Vedra for 8 years. Our favorite experiences have been the times we are offered all the comforts of home provided by a Wren property. That is why we return to them. We've tried others, but come back to the best! The Wren's make every effort to assure your stay is all that you had hoped it would be-- going the extra mile to check in and make sure you are satisfied. We have never wanted for a thing. We highly recommend the suggestions they offer on their website. They have done the legwork for us over the years, so we are able to hit the ground running with no learning curve to overcome. SPV has become our home away from home. We are looking forward to our 9th return!" - Kathy Marotta, Atlanta, GA, 02/05/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"We had a WONDERFUL week at Sandpiper's Nest! Relaxing on the deck by day and listening to the ocean at night was the perfect setting to get us away from our daily grind. St. Augustine was a short drive and provided all the necessities for a perfect vacation. We look forward to returning." - Ken Starr, Albuquerque, NM, 11/13/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Wonderful beach house! Very well equiped, and access to the beach is outstanding! We will definitely return again." - Bob Bates, Keystone Heights, FL, 11/03/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"We took our first vacation with our 6 months old daughter Sofia and had a great time. The Sandpipers nest is perfect for a family that wants to enjoy family time. We spend our days at the beach where Sofia took her first dive in the ocean, not without protest. The house is charming and cozy and we hope to be back soon. Bill and Daniela" - Daniela, Jacksonville, FL, 10/19/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"I enjoyed my stay immensely. The house is only a short drive from St. Augustine, one of the loveliest cities around." - david, gainesville, fl., 03/20/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"What an amazing house! We spent a long weekend at Sandpiper's Nest to celebrate my fiance's birthday. It was fantastic! Not even Hurricane Noel could spoil our trip. The house is in the perfect location, has a beautiful interior and was full of everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us Judy!" - Mark, Homestead, FL, 11/06/07(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"My family says it was the best vacation we ever had, which says it all! The house quickly became "home" and the beach access was phenomenal. We also liked that the location was quiet, but close enough to everything we wanted to do. We'll be back." - Pete Cox, Centennial, CO, 08/27/07(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"An amazing home away from home! The personal touches are too many to mention. We enjoyed watching dolphins, collecting shells and wave riding. We will be back!" - Shelly Drancik, Batavia, IL, 07/11/07(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"2nd times a charm! 1st time too. We had a great time this year. My family & I enjoyed every minute. Wish it could have been longer. Back to reality. We look forward to trip #3 next year!" - The Ardwins, Royal Oak MI, 05/01/07(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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 family Tyler 11 Beth 9 " - sarah, jacksonville florida, 05/28/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"My family had a wonderful week. The house is well equipped and the ground level access is terrific. We hope to return again! ME Conway" - Anonymous, Bethesda, Maryland, 04/23/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"I don't think we've ever had a better experience renting a house. Was immaculate, with great care give to make sure everything was there that we would need. Owner very attentive and available. 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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"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. Everything you need to have your stay perfect is there and more.. Judy and Bill have done a great job in making your stay ..well just perfect..... Thanks Judy and Bill.. M and D.." - Dave & Maureen, tampa, Fl., 01/14/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
