Had our sons wedding at a house 8 houses away, super convenient! Great place to watch spectacular sunrises with your coffee on the porch ..just wow! Host was very communicative and quick with responses! Needed a high chair they actually delivered a brand new high chair the next day!! Again just wow! The property was super convenient to Publix shops and DT St Augustine. Location was absolutely perfect! Downstairs smelled a little damp but that is expected they did have 2 dehumidifiers downstairs helping. Although we were not able to take advantage there were an assortment of beach paraphernalia available. Would definitely keep this place in mind in the future! Great stay

Kimberly, sunrise coffee on that porch really is the best seat in the house, and being a few doors from your son's wedding made the location do double duty. Getting a high chair there the next day was an easy fix. Next time, the beach gear will be ready for you.

Our only issues were that none of the upstairs bathroom electrical outlets worked, and only 1 in the downstairs bathroom worked.The smell in the downstairs area was not even remotely controlled, even though we kept both dehumidifiers going.Other than those issues, it was fantastic!

Great stay at Turtle's Nest

We had a wonderful stay at Turtle's Nest. The location of the beach house is great, literally steps away from a very quiet beach. It is also conveniently located near great restaurants and stores. It's an easy drive to all the attractions in Saint Augustine.

New Year’s Stay

The property was conveniently located near St. Augustine with amazing access to the beach. It had space for our extended family. It was fairly clean, but we had a small issue with ants, which was taken care of immediately by the property managers.

Liked: Check-in
The property is underwhelming at best. The property had dead trees, overgrown foliage and trash all around the property. Inside seemed like a flippers special where doors don’t close, floor boards could be picked up but worst of all was the moldy/mildew smell in the bottom floor which had 4 beds, bath, pool table and living area. All were unusable based on the wetness and mold. Every item in the bottom floor was damp; sheets, blankets, rugs and couch. My son ended up leaving half way through the trip due to the poor living conditions. I contacted management and they acted as if they had no idea about this issue even though they had a dehumidifier that needed to be emptied every other day. They offered no solutions and no call back. I was very disappointed with this rental and I would not rent it again. There are nicer spaces at this price so it’s one thing if it’s a deal, but this is not. Pro’s to this property: on the beach, updated kitchen and bathrooms, surrounded by turtle nests, so many dolphin sightings. Otherwise

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about the home. I’m very sorry the property fell short of expectations. I will share your feedback with our operations and cleaning teams so they can inspect for mold and dampness, replace or deep-clean affected linens and furniture, and complete the repairs and landscaping you noted. Thank you for calling out the positives — the beach location, updated kitchen and baths, and wildlife sightings. Your feedback helps us improve, and I’m sorry this stay wasn’t what you expected.

Spring Break at Turtle's Nest

We had a fantastic spring break at Turtle's Nest! The beachfront location was perfect. The weather was chilly and breezy at times, but we enjoyed skim boarding, body boarding, and surf fishing. We caught a lot of whiting, bluefish, and a few sharks, including a 6-footer!The kitchen was well-equipped, the bedrooms were comfortable, and the pool table was a nice extra. Both the top and bottom decks were covered and had plenty of seating to relax and enjoy the view. The property was well-maintained.Wren Beach Rentals was extremely responsive throughout the process. We highly recommend Turtle's Nest for anyone looking for a memorable beach getaway.

A great, quick get-away

We booked a last minute get-away at the Turtle's Nest and we were had a great stay. It is a good value for the price. The location can't get any better. It is a "no drive" private beach and we felt like it was all ours. It was a short drive to St. Augustine as well. The house was supplied with everything we needed in the house and on the beach. The beds/rooms were very comfortable and perfect for our group. The downstairs allowed the kids to have some of their own space. We will look to book the Turtle's Nest again when back in the area.

The house was roomy as described, however; the basement was extremely musty smelling upon arrival. Two humidifiers had to be on at all times and typically required being emptied at 4,30 in the morning…not really something you want to do on vacation. All of the doors to the house, inside and out stuck and made out noises to open or close. The refrigerator described stated it had an icemaker but it was not the refrigerator pictured and did not include an icemaker. The refrigerator in the garage smelled of dead shrimp. The breaker box contained condensation as well as the vents in the house and there was a leak in the ceiling in the living room. When the property rep came to look at it, he said he would be back the next day to repair the issue but instead he patched over the already patched area and did not fix the problem because it leaked again the same day. One garage door worked using the opener in the garage but the other door did not work and had to be disengaged to open. The remote for the garage doors did not work at all. The drain at the bottom of the steps was clogged so if it rained, there was 4 or more inches of water at the bottom of the stairs. We had a great time at the beach and family vacation but we will not stay at the turtles nest again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. I’m glad the house was roomy and that you had a great time at the beach, and I’m very sorry your stay at Turtle's Nest was impacted by so many maintenance and odor issues. I’ve shared your report with our local team and maintenance so they can prioritize fixes. Specifically, we will: - Arrange a full moisture/mold inspection of the basement and breaker box and address ventilation and dehumidification needs. - Investigate and properly repair the living-room leak (the temporary patching you described is unacceptable). - Have HVAC/ventilation checked to stop condensation and reduce mustiness, and review our dehumidifier setup so guests aren’t inconvenienced overnight. - Inspect and repair all sticking interior and exterior doors. - Clean the garage refrigerator and confirm the primary refrigerator and icemaker match the listing; we’ll update the listing if necessary. - Service the garage door openers and remotes so both doors operate reliably. - Clear the clogged drain at the bottom of the steps and correct drainage to prevent pooling. We take safety and guest comfort seriously and will use your feedback to make necessary repairs and improvements. Thank you again — your comments help us ensure future guests don’t experience the same issues.

July 4th Vacation Week

We loved the area especially with no crowds on the beach and the ocean view from the deck. The house was nice and stocked with pretty much everything needed. Parking was good, just not as much as we had hoped for being we pulled a trailer and had to park it across the road in front of the house but it was easily visible. Overall this was fine because we were able to park the motorcycles inside the garage. We all enjoyed our family time here at The Turtle's Nest!

Beach Day Everyday

We were very satisfied with the amenities provided. The double washer and dryer allowed no wasted time during laundry. The rental agency very responsive. A few minor hiccups during our stay, but again rental agency was responsive and acted the best they could in a timely manner. We left several hours earlier than anticipated due to a certain circumstance at the property. Wish we could have been reimbursed for the inconvenience.
