Girls mah jongg trip

The house and location were perfect. The home is stocked with everything we needed.Really comfortable beds, great deck for watching sunrise and sunset. We would certainly rent it again. There is some deferred maintenance, and it could have been cleaned better as there was a lot of dog hair in the corners on the main floor

We had a wonderful stay. We practically had the beach to ourselves. The waves were a little rough, not sure if it was location or weather. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Beach House

This was one of the best houses we rented in our lives. It’s better than the pictures show. Very comfortable with a large family with kids. Everything (furniture and appliances) is of high quality. It has everything the family may need. And the views from all the rooms and living areas are wonderful. We look forward to rent it again in the future. Highly recommend!

Amazing stay

We loved staying at mighty fine. It was a relaxing vacation being so close to the beach. Spacious and clean home. My husband and I are big coffee drinkers and when we arrived, the coffee pot was cracked. They brought us a brand new coffee maker on the day of our arrival. Very easy to communicate with- we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Serenity by the Sea is great!

We absolutely loved this house! It was perfect for our little family get together. David at Wren Beach Rentals was so helpful in finding the perfect home. The house is exactly as advertised! The decor was bright and crisp. The home was very clean and well stocked. The location can not be beat! We will be back soon!

Lovely Beach Vacation

This is a lovely home. The interior is well decorated, and the views on the ocean side reach the entire length of the house. You are absolutely on the beach here! Also the front deck has a fabulous view of sunset over the estuary. Groceries, seafood markets, good restaurants and lots of things to do are easy to get to in St. Augustine & Jacksonville. The uncrowded beach and quick walk down our boardwalk were my favorite part! Thank you for a lovely stay.

We hope to be back!

We had a large group: two families with high school aged children for spring break. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is a very comfortable house with lots of kitchen amenities. The ocean views are stunning. The deck is awesome. It might be nice for the owners to have beach chairs for renters to use. But we purchased some cheap ones from target that worked just fine. We had a question about a smoke alarm and they were so responsive and helpful. A beautiful home and we really hope to be back!

Beautiful House on the Beach

We had a great time at this family friendly beach house. It was so easy to just walk out of the house with the kids and be on the beach. And if we accidentally left something in the house it wasn't an ordeal to quickly walk back up to grab it. Also, we really enjoyed the huge porch and hanging out there for cocktails at sunset. We did notice that several of the lamps/lights in the house didn't have light bulbs, which was slightly annoying. Also, we thought the living room area could be more comfortable if there could be a coffee table or ottoman added to the space. Regardless, we had a wonderful time at this property and really enjoyed our stay.

Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend!

Our family spent 2 fabulous weeks at this house in May. We absolutely hated to leave it. We will definitely rent it again. It was located right on the ocean and there is no public access, so we had the beach almost to ourselves the entire time. Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve (GTM Research Reserve) goes for miles across the street so there are no houses there, either. It was convenient to a gas station/convenience store and a Publix grocery store. Then, hop over the Vilano Bridge and you’re in St. Augustine! Now, about this house. It was lovely! Nicely furnished. Spotless. Our beds couldn’t have been more comfortable. There were 4 adults and a 4-year-old and the sleeping arrangements were perfect. Even when it rained, we weren’t upset. We had a beautiful house to shelter in. The kitchen is very well equipped: plenty of dishes, cups, glasses, silverware, pots and pans. No need to run the dishwasher but once a day. It was very convenient to have a high-capacity washer and dryer, too. The color scheme is very calming. Not that we spent time watching TV, but there is a TV in each bedroom and the living room. The deck is plenty big and includes a shower and spigot for rinsing off after enjoying the very private beach. Bath towels, hand towels, washcloths and beach towels were plentiful. The sharks’ teeth were plentiful, too. We found 400! We rented directly through Wren Beach Rentals and received outstanding customer service. David couldn’t have been easier to deal with and his responses were almost immediate. We were glad we got to meet him, also. As I mentioned, we plan to rent this house again and will not hesitate to use Wren Beach Rentals again.

Great Place on the Beach

Property is clean and well appointed. Location is 1/2 way between downtown Ponte Vedra and St Augustine. Beach is right out the back door. Area was hit hard by hurricane Irma. While this unit survived just fine, other properties in the neighborhood sustained significant damage and are quite rundown looking. We had had one minor problem with a toilet and the owner could not have responded more professionally and quickly.

Beautiful, private beach, amazing house!

We were a group of 8 adults and fit easily. Everything was clean and perfect. This is a perfect place to stay directly on the water. The only detail to note (and maybe this isn't always the case) is that there is only one road into downtown St Augustine, which ended up being about a 30 minute drive into town with heavy traffic most hours of the day. Not a huge deal, but something to be aware of.

Perfect Beach House

Serenity by the Sea was a perfect beach house for us. We take beach vacations to spend 90% of our time on the beach. Big beach at high tide, huge beach at low tide with the sand basically at your doorstep. No cars driving on this section. The best part for us is that there are NO 2nd/3rd row houses behind it so its basically your own private section of beach. House was clean and comfortable with a large deck and two masters on the main level. The half bath on the main level was convenient. Two bedrooms on the upper level share a bath but it wasn't a big deal. Grocery stores/restaurants are a little drive away but worth it to enjoy this level of privacy on the beach.
