Great place to stay
This was a family trip with different family members in and out of the house at different times. The house was perfect for this. The balconies off of the upstairs bedrooms were loved by all who were in those rooms. The kitchen was well equipped for what we needed to cook and the eating area accommodated us all. We loved having access to bikes to ride and games/puzzles to enjoy anytime. I noticed that there were very few public beach access areas on the island but thankfully there was one within a short walking distance to the house, definitely a big plus. One of the favorites of everyone was watching the deer out back early morning and/or early evening. I communicated several times (before arriving at the house) with the owners and they always responded in a timely manner. I have no reservations about rating this as a great place to stay!!!

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!

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!

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.

Great Week and great accommodations
My family has been visiting Holden Beach for over 30 years now. As our family has increased now with 2 son in laws and 2 grandchildren we still enjoy the family atmosphere of Holden. Coastal Distancing was a very good place and the Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and it was excellent quality stuff that you weren't afraid to use. At one or two places we actually bought something to feel safe. Everything was as presented in the listing and it was only a short walk to the beach. Thanks for the week and we would stay here again

Coastal Distancing was wonderful! Just a short walk to the beach and had everything we needed! We loved the convenience of having the refrigerator in the garage for packing up for a beach day. All of the kitchen appliances and utensils were top notch, and they had such a nice variety of games. The Smart TV was a plus, and the internet was stable.

Best beach house in Holden
We had a magnificent week in this lovely property. From the proximity to the beach, to the well stocked kitchen, to the comfy beds, everything about Coastal Distancing was just perfect. The kids enjoyed the beach toys, ping pong, bikes of all sizes, and the TVs. We adults loved the great cookware, and evening breezes on the deck with cocktails. Hosts were very communicative, responsive, and helpful throughout. I cannot recommend this place enough.

We LOVED our stay here! The property was all that we hoped for and more. Super clean, lovely beach decor, lots of natural light. We have two little children (3 & 9 mo) and it was the perfect amount of space for us and we brought our Grammy and aunt/uncle along. Kitchen was very well-stocked (even for children), beds are comfortable, showers had shampoo/conditioner/body wash all provided! Kids books in upper bathroom were great and high chair/pack n play also available. Beach is super close and loved that the beach access was a full ramp for our wagons to go over. Property also provided lots of great beach chairs, toys, etc. I bookmarked this place in hopes to stay here again!
