We enjoyed our time at this pet-friendly cabin. Excellent location-right across the road from beach access. The screened in porch and open deck (with ocean view) were our favorite spots.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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 .

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!

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!

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).
