Great location during our February visit! Perfect beach house for our visit. We enjoyed the laidback atmosphere on the island and the more active lifestyle in Charleston. Would definitely like to stay there again!

Perfect location, needs a little refresh
Walking distance to everything you need—beach, restaurants, grocery store, state park. Kitchen and bathrooms are updated and well-equipped, only thing that could vastly improve the stay is less grungy furniture in living room. Otherwise great!

Location and spaciousness of this rental was great. As mentioned in many other reviews- house was dusty dirty and furniture very worn. Could be a dream house with some TLC and a quality cleaning service.

Nice older beach home
This is the third time I've stayed at Gulls Nest. I love the location on the island. Very easy access to the beach. While the house is an older style home, it's the charm I like and remember from my youth at Edisto. I'll always try to stay here.

Great Location
This is our second stay at Gulls Nest and are very happy with the accommodations. The location is perfect for beach access 1A and very close to the gas station and Food Lion. There are a few things that need to be addressed. The dishwasher is broken and I washed more dishes than I cared to. They need a can opener that functions and a vacuum that can clean the floors better. We did love the new floors and updated lock on the bathroom. The beds are very comfortable, make sure to bring linens. The air conditioner worked so well and the extra fans were a nice addition. The outdoor shower was very nice and helpful for a larger family. We look forward to booking again! We saw sea turtles hatch! That was awesome and took a charter with Edisto Water sports. Thank you! We would recommend this beach house!

Classic Edisto Home
The location is perfect! The home is as described, spacious, and had everything we needed for our stay. I’ve been staying in homes on Edisto for most of my life and this one is the true old school Edisto home. Nothing fancy but comfortable enough for our family. Only down side was the home was not cleaned to my standards, but we did not complain and were fine giving it a good cleaning prior to using the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. We left the home cleaner than when we arrived. There were also a lot of caterpillars in the home, probably from overhanging trees. This is something we have had in homes on Edisto before, so we cleared them out as we saw them and did not complain. But pest control service may be useful to prevent them from coming inside. Overall we had a great stay and the location made up for any minor inconveniences. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Good location - good week
The location is close to the beach and the grocery store. The property is a classic beach house, not a 5* hotel. If you understand that going in you wont be disappointed! The owners were extremely helpful and very communicative helping out when we forgot a bag.

Edisto Beach House
We enjoyed our stay very much. We spent most of our time on the screened in porch. The house was not cleaned well as empty can under the couch, dust under all the furniture, sand in the bathroom shower, & all rugs were dirty. Certainly had not been mopped recently. The house needs some updates as small bathroom had lock. The screen on the door going onto the side deck was almost gone from flapping in the wind. A kitchen window had a spoon stuck in it to hold it in. We never found the Roku remote to watch tv. Wifi & cell service (Verizon) was very spotty. These things did not keep us from enjoying ourselves. It’s an awesome location. You can walk to Food Lion, ice cream & coffee shops, other shops, restaurants, etc. We would stay again. I tried to contact the host before our trip to tell her the number in our party had changed but couldn't so told vrbo agent. I didn't have any contact with the host. We couldn't find any rules posted in the house other than wifi info which I found unusual. This is the first place I've ever stayed & had to take towels, rags, & bed linens. The house is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, coffee pot, Keurig, utensils, etc. We would stay again.

Cozy beach cabin
This house was great for our group of four adults and two dogs. We spent a lot of time enjoying the front porch, and while the interior could have used a more thorough cleaning, it was a fine place to stay for a week. We did have an issue with a leak in the ceiling that was not resolved during our stay, but the property manager was very helpful and communicative about the issue. Overall, would definitely stay here again!

Hot week
The air conditioning and internet went out on Monday. I notified VRBO on early Tuesday morning. There was no info on how to notify owner. The internet was fixed Wednesday, but the AC wasn't fixed until Friday afternoon. Half of my family left before Friday due to the heat. The owner and I texted numerous times over the week after I received his number from VRBO.

Perfect for a group with Kids!
We had the most amazing stay at this house! The location was so close to the beach access point! The house was clean and had everything we needed! The porch spaces were amazing! The kids spent most of their downtime out on the front screened-in porch and once they went to bed it was the perfect spot for parents to hang out! We would definitely come back again!

Great location
It was a great location with plenty of room but they need a new house cleaner. The oven, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, and counters weren’t cleaned. Beer bottles were left on the porch. Floors had been swept but not mopped. Bathrooms still had hair in showers. You can’t see through windows. So if you plan on staying here take cleaning supplies.

Perfect location
The location of the property is perfect. Just off the beach, we could see the waves from the front porch, which we enjoyed throughout our stay. public access to the beach was a super short walk. There was plenty of room for our group of four. The house is old and outdated and could use some deep cleaning, but I really, it was worth the money due to its ideal location. Would consider staying here again.

Wonderful old style beach house.
This is the second time that I’ve stayed at this house. It is not a new, modern home, but an old style beach house. I enjoy it very very much. It reminds me of my youth there at the beach. I find the house to be incredibly adequate for everything that I need. The house is clean, could be a little cleaner. But it has all the amenities that I could use. I will definitely return to this home again.

Great location, convenient, and quiet beach stay
Overall we were very happy with our month-long stay. The deficiencies that the prior guest mentioned in her review on Feb 2, 2023 are accurate (dripping faucets, dirty windows/blinds, HVAC intake, fans) but I would not refer to this property as 'disgusting'. A thorough cleaning of these items would help with the overall impression along with providing basic cleaning supplies and extra toilet paper and light bulbs. Overall, we are very pleased with the location and convenience of being right across the street from the beach. The cost was considerably less than other properties in the Edisto area and we would definitely stay at this property again.
