Lots of baby turtles

Amazing first impression upon entry! Gorgeous view from floor to ceiling windows in living room. This home was extremely clean, which we really appreciated. The bedrooms were all nice sized. Plenty of parking space underneath house. We loved sitting on the many decks, but it’s an issue certain times of day with lack of shade or when it rains. This house is a duplex and the beachside deck is open to the other side. Wasn’t a problem for us because no one was there. This gated community is quiet and the beach is not crowded. We spread out with no problem. The kitchen had everything we needed and the large dining table fit us nicely. Colton was very responsive to my questions and made our vacation really enjoyable! You can’t go wrong with this one!

This house is in a wonderful location with very little traffic on the West end of the island. I highly recommend it to anyone who's family size is around 10 people. Great family beach!

I booked this property for my husband, our 2 children, and their 5 children. The property was great. Very clean. Direct access to beach which was wonderful particularly with the grandkids. The openness of the living area was great for the family. Owner was very nice and responded very quickly to my questions. I would definitely recommend this property and would rent this property again.

This was our 2nd year staying at this property! Great quiet location! Family room and kitchen are spacious. Great sunsets! Love the outdoor shower!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week at this location…. It was our first time to Holden Beach and we loved it … very family oriented…. The house was fantastic, very beautiful and well equipped with whatever you needed the owner was very informative sending an email of things to do and things to bring …… I was very pleased Will diffently visit again …… thank you

Colton was a wonderful host, with great communication and helpful information about Holden, grocery shopping and entertainment / recreation options. The house is well maintained, roomy, and well equipped with games and cookware. It's very comfortable and had fast internet and good technology. The host provided bedding, which was a nice surprise compared to some Holden rentals. Great ocean and marsh views from several of the bedrooms, and a truly horizon to horizon ocean and dune view from the living room and kitchen. There is a grill and outdoor shower to rinse after the beach. The houses past the gate are spread further apart and have better privacy, and the beach is very wide and absolutely beautiful at this end of the island.

Colton is the best host. Gives you good information prior to your trip ie; what to bring where to go etc. When I had a question he always answered quickly, and kindly. The home was set in a beautiful community. The beach was wonderful. No crowds here. The house had plenty of comfortable seating in the living room kitchen and dinning. Something you dont always have in a larger home. parking was easy. We will definatly be back. Thank you Colton for everything

we have stayed at this property many times over the years. It is extremely comfortable and is perfect for our family. highly recommend!

We couldn't be more happy with our experience at Eden West! We were surprised that we had an expansive view of the dunes and ocean from our deck and living room--especially from the upstairs landing. The kitchen was well-appointed and easy to negotiate with a large group. I think we used every jigsaw puzzle on the shelf during the two rainy days. The king and queen beds were very comfortable; the twin beds a little less so. We enthusiastically recommend this property and plan to come again soon!

The house with the ocean views and the ocean / beach are wonderful. The host is absolutely the best. We have traveled East Coast beaches using rental homes for decades and he is absolutely the most responsive ever. It’s a wonderful place to relax and recharge with your family. We had infants, toddlers and teens in the 4 families and all were happy!

This was our second stay at Eden West and we have already booked it again for next year's family vacation. We all love the location and the space is sufficient for our entire family. We especially like being on that end of the island where there's less traffic.

Spent an excellent week at the beach at this property. Beach was great, not crowded. Fun to walk to the end of the island during low tide! Great shells!! Bedrooms were private, everyone had their own bathroom. The balconies on the front & the back made for great sunset views and moon rises:) Definitely booking this property again

Easy to book, and helpful and timely communication with our host Colton.

Would rent again

After being confined to our homes for many months due to COVID, this was the PERFECT getaway for our family to meet up and enjoy each other's company. The house was big enough for us all to have our own space and privacy when needed. The seclusion at the end of the island was nice as well. Very peaceful and was a wonderful way to recharge before heading back to in-person learning and working. We had 6 kids with us ranging from 6 months to 10 yrs old and 8 adults. Plenty of puzzles and games to keep us busy when indoors but luckily the weather was great and we enjoyed every minute of Holden outdoors as much as possible. Check-in and Check-out were a breeze. Loved not having to worry about packing linens, they were fresh and ready for us when we arrived. Check-out was even easier and with 6 kids we greatly appreciated it! Colton was very responsive and accommodating and wonderful to work with. We will definitely be back!

West of Eden was the perfect fit for our growing family. It has the right amount of space for all of us and with enough separation between bedrooms for small infants and personal family space. We always vacation with our closest friends and since our families have grown it has been difficult to find vacation rentals close together that are big enough to accommodate both families. West of Eden fits that bill because our friends rented East of Eden which is right next door. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for ample space for family and with plenty of spaces for parking. Another positive is that it is located in the gated section of the island and there is very little traffic on the road and only a few people out on the beach. We loved it and will reserve this place for next year.

We had such a fabulous week. The house is on a lovely wide beach that was relatively quiet. The gated community helped keep crowds away from the beach, even when other Holden beaches were pretty packed. My three kids loved the surf, and I was able to take a long walk on the sand every morning. The house itself was really great as well. Plenty of space, and the windows in the living room provided the perfect view. The couches were incredibly comfortable, which is a minor thing that we ended up really appreciating. There are three big porches (two overlooking the ocean and one overlooking the sound), and they all got plenty of use. A few minor drawbacks: 1. The location is pretty remote. Holden Beach definitely doesn't have the restaurants or shops of other beach areas and the commercial strip leading to the island was pretty rundown, so just go expecting to spend most of your time on the beach. 2. The bathrooms and kitchen at the house could use updating. They were all totally functional, but also a bit dated. The drawers in the bathrooms and kitchen came all the way out, which made me nervous that my youngest kid would end up pulling a drawer onto his foot. It never happened, but it did worry me. These are minor issues -- we had a fabulous week!
