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.

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.

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!

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).

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!

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.
