The Gulls Nest Beach House

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 .

Fantastic beach property with tremendous access to everything within walking distance.

It was a lovely house with extremely convenient location to the beach and local markets. Would 💯 percent recommend a stay there.

After staying at the property, my husband, daughter and niece got lice!!! It was the worst experience ever. The bed top covers were dirty. Sand was on the couches and floors when we got there. It was as if the house wasn't cleaned between customers. Dirt was visible on the walls. The door windows had finger and hand prints from customers before us. I will never go back. We loved being close to the ocean, but getting lice and combing hair for nits every night for a week was the worst.

We loved the easy access to the beach. The furniture needs to be cleaned, updated or replaced. Other than that, it was great.

Very nice stay.

Great location and view. The kitchen was great.

Had a very pleasant time, very quiet town

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.

This is our second time staying here within three months.The views and location is amazing. You can see and hear the beach from the front porches.We hope to stay again later this year and waiting for reply on if the home will be open or not after August.This home books fast when bookings open.

Location! The beach was right across the street.

Great location, comfortable house with a beach feel. Thanks.

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.

Loved the layout of the home and the charm.Location was great and could see and hear waves from the home.

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.

Place was nice right next to the beach. The only issue we had was when we checked in, there were a ton of dead roaches in the kitchen and living room

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

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.

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!

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).

Had a great time. The house was good. Great location

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 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!

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!

Loved the home it was comfy even though it was so windy outside.

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.

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.

Dead roaches on the floor, overall not very clean, maintained very poorly

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!
