This is my third or fourth time at this house. I love the older charm. The knotty pine walls and the size is perfect. The kitchen is great. The front screened in porch and deck have ocean view and it's so relaxing.

Exactly what we were looking for in a classic beach house - comfortable, clean, and laid back. Everything we needed was provided for which contributed to a wonderful visit. The front porch with the ocean view was my favorite part of the house. Will definitely rent again!

We had wonderful time staying at this property. Easy walking distance to the beach, grocery store and restaurants. I would stay here again. Can see beach from kitchen island. Furniture was a bit dated especially in the living room, but for the price we weren’t too concerned.

Bought this stay for my parents as a Christmas present. Was a big mistake. They left a night early. Apparently they do not clean this house. Mold, coffee grounds in the coffee pot from previous tenants. I was charged a cleaning fee when it seems there is not a crew that upkeeps it. Very disappointed in VRBO letting this house stay on rental status. It’s a hazard. My parents have photos of all of it. Even the vents for AC are molded, including the filter in the return that hasn’t been changed in who knows how long. I never leave reviews but I am baffled I wasted my money. I would stay elsewhere.

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.

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.
