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!

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.

Lifetime Edisto Beach Visitor

Part of me doesn’t want to leave a great review because I want to keep this house a secret. Haha!! I spent much of my childhood on Edisto, and this house was great. The only thing worth mentioning is that if you are coming to stay for a long time, it might be worth bringing storage containers to keep your food. That’s always good anyway bc …. Summer - SC Bugs- but the house doesn’t have any empty cabinets- pantry for your personal food storage- that ends up all over the counters. This is also kind of typical of some beach places, but it felt worth mentioning. Some of the screens are missing on windows or may need repair (not owners fault bc they don’t know what they don’t know/ and any guest who isn’t used to screen doors might push the screen which can be hard to keep up with. But - the house was perfect for my family, and we will 100% rent again when it’s available. It was nostalgic- close and easy walk to the old pavilion- close to the public beach path- you can hear the waves from the house. Thanks for the memories. Please let us come back. (Also thrilled not to be paying the insane fees with companies like VACASA- your cleaning fee was super reasonable).

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
