Wren’s Nest is a great place if you know exactly what you’re getting. It’s a pretty basic beach host without a lot of frills.
Pros:
*RIGHT next to one of the best beaches in the northeast. Truly beautiful location. 2 min walk to the ocean.
*Super nice host- Roger chatted with us a few times, was very kind, friendly, and helpful.
*Outdoor shower is huge with lots of room to change/hang up towels.
*Large deck with a great view.
*Quiet, private location. As noted in other reviews, Roger’s house is right next to/in front of this house, but the side of his house facing this house has no windows and it felt very private, on a massive lot down a long driveway.
*Water cooler was added so plenty of good drinking water.
Cons:
*Cleanliness just not great. Cobwebs on the decorations, dirty dishes, coffee pot had grinds in it an baked on burnt coffee at the bottom. We ended up doing our own clean when we got there. The grill hasn’t been cleaned in a while. Grease fire started when we cooked on it.
*Beds are old/uncomfortable
*Stairs up to the deck are a bit treacherous.
Overall, if you are looking for a basic place at a very reasonable price right next to the beach (that allows pets!!) this place works. A coat of paint, a good professional cleaning, new mattresses and a sanding/staining of the deck would go SUCH a long way. Super nice people too.
