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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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 .

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).
