We enjoyed our stay at Gull’s nest. We ended our stay a day early, because of the rain, not the house. There is 2 things that are worth mentioning, the beds/mattresses could really use an upgrade. They are really hard which made it a little difficult to sleep. We had to locate the sheets to put on the beds. We were only left 4 towels for 8 people for the week. We had to go buy towels. So you may want to bring your own. Which is fine, I just didn’t know. The parking is a bit limited but we made do. Overall, it was a very nice stay and we would stay again. Thank you

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, Super Clean

The Gulls Nest was an absolute gem of a location with the beach right across the street. The place was exceptionally clean and was a very comfortable place to stay. Be sure to pay notice to the details that no linens or towels are provided.

great view and access to the beach, ocean view. atmosphere was cozy comfortable. there were several examples of disrepair in need of attention that detracted from the overall experience. Simple clean up of the property would help. repair of things broken would help.. My DIY bent wanted to go to the hardware store and get stuff to fix things .

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!

Great location

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.

Worst rental in 15 years...

30 minutes before our arrival, we received a message that there was a plumbing leak under the house. One of the two bathrooms in the house was out of commission the entire week. 8 people with one bathroom for 7 nights? Not ideal. We were told on several occasions that the maintenance guy would be there "the next day" to repair the leak. Never happened. Underneath the bathroom that was usable, there lived a family of some type of animal that scratched constantly on the bottom of the bathtub. Gaps in the subfloor under the house were large enough for a small child to crawl through. Just glad whatever it was never breached the walls. On our next to last day, the AC went out early morning. 85 degrees inside all day. Maintenance guy shows up around dusk to check it out. He finds a 6 foot snakeskin in the HVAC drain pan. WTH? I don't nitpick about small issues, and I've never written a review for a rental before, but this place was a disaster.

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.

Don’t do it!!

We went three days with a broken toilet. The property manager respond right away but the issue didn’t get resolved for three days. When the repairman came he said he knew the toilet was broken before we checked in. He said he was installing two toilets, but only did one. We had a screen door on the front porch but when the repairman left so did the screen door. In his defense, the screen was hanging out the frame. I know this is a pet friendly house. We didn’t have a pet but there was FLEAS! We didn’t see any live roaches but did find some dead ones. We had a storm one night and discovered 2 broken windows in the bedroom which probably played a huge roll in why the bedroom never got cool. There was water leaking out the roof. We had to move furniture around to have some place dry to sit. We had to keep towels on the floor to keep the floor dry to keep from sliding down in the puddles of water. There was mold on the ac vents. Let’s not forget to mention the bed being held up by books/board. The steps going into the front door need some attention, the tops of the steps are loose and could create a tripping/falling hazard! We ended up cutting a vacation short!

Everything you need in a great location

My friends and I had a FANTASTIC beach holiday at the Gull's Nest! Everything that was needed was available at the house, we could see and hear the ocean from the front deck and we absolutely LOVED the outdoor shower and area of rinsing off under the house (especially for our dogs). Close enough to walk the beach to the State Park too. Loved it!

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!

July trip to Edisto

We had a great vacation. This is a classic Edisto cottage that has been renovated over the years. Kitchen has everthing you need and bathrooms have updated showers. Outside shower with hot water and screened in porch was our favorite thing about the house. Location is great, very short walk to the beach!
