Great stay!

We had a very nice stay with several friends. It was easy to get in touch with the hosts, the location was very close to the beach, and the property had many extra amenities that I did not see on many other listings. There was some mold to be seen around the ceilings and dust on the vents, and we had to go purchase our own toilet paper and paper towels after the first day, but ultimately we would stay again!

A lovely, peaceful house near the beach!

We really enjoyed staying at Costal Distancing! The house is in a great location and provided everything we needed as a family of five! Sitting on the back deck was lovely in the early morning hours with a cup of coffee and my kiddos loved playing darts in the garage. The walk to the beach was quick and safe! We would definitely stay here again when visiting Holden Beach.

Close to beach - 3-4 minute walk from public access. Several chairs and beach items in the garage as well as bikes that can be used during the stay. It was great to not have to bring all of those items with you from home.

Had everything for a relaxing stay

I brought my son after he wrapped up his freshman year of college for a few days at the beach before heading home. The home was perfect and had everything that we needed to relax. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Comfortable cottage close to the beach

We had a lovely stay at Coastal Distancing. The indoor and outdoor space was perfect for our family of five and my parents who stayed with us for half of the week. It was easy to walk to the beach and the neighborhood was quiet. My kids enjoyed riding the bicycles provided. The grill, air conditioning, and washer/ dryer all worked without issue. The decor was pleasant and cheerful and we loved sitting out on the 3 decks to enjoy Holden Beach!
