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!

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!

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 The house is old and outdated and could use some deep cleaning, but I really, it was worth the money due to its ideal location.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.

BREAK IN FLORIDA TRIP
We love Edisto as we've been there several years, however, Gull's Nest beach house was dirty - I am sorry to say. Owner needs to check up on his cleaning/maintenance crew. We were supposed to stay Sat. until Tues morning but ended up leaving Monday night after biking, hiking to Jeremy Inlet & enjoying a meal at Whaley's - one of of our favorite restaurants.

Edisto 2020
Older home, but perfect for what we wanted! Loved the open layout of the house. Nice size kitchen with all the basic needs. If you drink K-cups, need to take your own Keurig. Otherwise, there is a regular coffee pot. A/C worked great as well as internet and tv. The location was excellent for beach access - out the door and to the right. Loved the enclosed outdoor shower with hot water. Screened porch was wonderful and loved both decks. We would rent 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.

Great Price. House was super clean, but pretty old. AC works well. Some furniture needs cleaned. Kitchen is stocked! Front bedroom is hot. Porch was wonderful-ocean view. beach just across street-very short walk. Near everything. But....Bugs. Called owner, had bug guy come. Palmetto bugs...on tv. On sleeping hubs. We killed around 5 a day.

Gulls Cottage
We enjoyed our time together in Edisto. We spent quite a bit of time on the front screen porch. Since you have a perfect view of the ocean. The crosswalk to the beach was two houses down, so it is convenient. I loved the side deck and the back deck is nice. The house wasn't clean as there was used soap in the master bath. Also there was quite a bit of sand under the mat at the back door. The blinds in the front bedroom need to be replaced as they are missing slats. Otherwise we loved the time we spent and it was great to have our dog with us

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.

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.
