Edisto Beach House
We enjoyed our stay very much. We spent most of our time on the screened in porch. The house was not cleaned well as empty can under the couch, dust under all the furniture, sand in the bathroom shower, & all rugs were dirty. Certainly had not been mopped recently. The house needs some updates as small bathroom had lock. The screen on the door going onto the side deck was almost gone from flapping in the wind. A kitchen window had a spoon stuck in it to hold it in. We never found the Roku remote to watch tv. Wifi & cell service (Verizon) was very spotty. These things did not keep us from enjoying ourselves. It’s an awesome location. You can walk to Food Lion, ice cream & coffee shops, other shops, restaurants, etc. We would stay again. I tried to contact the host before our trip to tell her the number in our party had changed but couldn't so told vrbo agent. I didn't have any contact with the host. We couldn't find any rules posted in the house other than wifi info which I found unusual. This is the first place I've ever stayed & had to take towels, rags, & bed linens. The house is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, coffee pot, Keurig, utensils, etc. We would stay again.

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!

Hot week
The air conditioning and internet went out on Monday. I notified VRBO on early Tuesday morning. There was no info on how to notify owner. The internet was fixed Wednesday, but the AC wasn't fixed until Friday afternoon. Half of my family left before Friday due to the heat. The owner and I texted numerous times over the week after I received his number from VRBO.

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!

Great location
It was a great location with plenty of room but they need a new house cleaner. The oven, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, and counters weren’t cleaned. Beer bottles were left on the porch. Floors had been swept but not mopped. Bathrooms still had hair in showers. You can’t see through windows. So if you plan on staying here take cleaning supplies.

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.

Wonderful old style beach house.
This is the second time that I’ve stayed at this house. It is not a new, modern home, but an old style beach house. I enjoy it very very much. It reminds me of my youth there at the beach. I find the house to be incredibly adequate for everything that I need. The house is clean, could be a little cleaner. But it has all the amenities that I could use. I will definitely return to this home again.

Great location, convenient, and quiet beach stay
Overall we were very happy with our month-long stay. The deficiencies that the prior guest mentioned in her review on Feb 2, 2023 are accurate (dripping faucets, dirty windows/blinds, HVAC intake, fans) but I would not refer to this property as 'disgusting'. A thorough cleaning of these items would help with the overall impression along with providing basic cleaning supplies and extra toilet paper and light bulbs. Overall, we are very pleased with the location and convenience of being right across the street from the beach. The cost was considerably less than other properties in the Edisto area and we would definitely stay at this property again.

Worst VRBO Stay in 20 Years
Overall impression of this home is "DISGUSTING". I sent multiple messages to the owner about concerns of cleanliness and a kitchen window that would not close or lock. He is yet to respond to any messages. In 20 years, I have never encountered a property in this condition. The first day I bought $50 of cleaning supplies to clean the home myself because there were no cleaning supplies available in the home (other than dishwasher tablets and clothes detergent). I took lots of pictures but this site does not allow uploads. There was a horrible smell of what smelled like urine but could not tell if it all came from the bathroom or if it was on the furniture as well so we did not sit on any of the furniture during our stay. I used two cans of Lysol neutralizer but only helped for a few minutes. The whole place was very dusty and the HVAC intake return had 1/4 inch of dust caked to it along with dust hanging from the ceiling. The blinds and curtains were so dirty, we didn't want to touch them so we didn't open any of them. The ceiling fans were caked with dust so could not turn them on. There were screens torn in windows, cracked windows, mold and mildew on the exterior of the home. There should be a standard and common courtesy to provide and clean maintained property. This is not what I consider a standard VRBO property that I have experienced the last 20 years of vacationing. I did not read the 24 hour VRBO rule until Monday night or I would have rejected this property.

Edisto Beach Trip
We came to Edisto for a quick weekend trip. Overall the house was great. It was large, clean and the check in process was easy. Per the listing there are no sheets (but an option to utilize some in the house) so plan accordingly. The location was amazing, directly across the street from public beach access and walkable to many of the islands restaurants. We would definitely stay again!

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!

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!

Beach Rental
The vacation rental was fantastic. The house was big enough for all seven of us. Beach access was even better. You walked across the street and you was on the beach. The screen in porch was the highlight of each evening. The house could have been dusted better and the window seals cleaned. We did kill a few palmetto bugs in the rooms that were close to the sun but I am sure that is expected. In the kitchen, we could not find a muffin pan or a toaster but we survived without it. Overall, it was fantastic and our family plans to go back next year!!!
