Our week was excellent at Coastal Distancing! There are great amenities and we loved the grill & ping pong table. It is a short, easy walk to the beach access (about 4 minutes!) We would definitely stay here again.
We loved the home! There was plenty of parking, the inside was beautiful & clean, the porches all had nice sitting areas, the kitchen was fully stocked and the furniture was beautiful!! We loved seeing the deer that came in the mornings and evenings. The walk to the beach was an easy stroll. It was a perfect week to have some extended family time!!!
Home was ready for us upon arrival and had everything we needed for our stay. Great location for access to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.
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!
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.
Great location close to the beach. We appreciated the extra amenities like the beach chairs and bikes. We enjoyed being able to bike to diner. It was nice having seating on the front and back porches. It was our first trip to Holden beach but we would stay here again.
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.
Stayed in this house to attend a family reunion. 5 adults. The accommodations were great. Short walk to the beach, close to island bridge for on shore shopping. Clean, loved the porches!
Everything was as expected. Kitchen was well stocked. Game area and the bikes were a great bonus. We appreciated having several options for sitting outside, as well. Owner was very responsive to requests and concerns.
