Wonderful Vacation at Sandy Shores Sandy Shores is a wonderful home for a peaceful beach vacation. We had a fantastic Spring Break 2023. The home had everything: the right seating, bedding, kitchen supplies, beach towels etc. Outdoor seating was perfect with the upper deck, and lower patio. And, we loved being able to see both the sunrise and sunset. When indoors, the many windows provided all the right sunny views. We hope to be back someday.

Vacation at Pelican Place We spent one week at Pelican Place and found it to perfectly suit the needs of our 2 families. It was well located on the beach, nicely updated and well maintained. I would not hesitate to rent this property again. We have rented properties from Wren Beach Rentals and have always been pleased with them. On the rare occassions an issue has occurred, Wren has been very responsive.
