Surfside Stay

We came in from Tulsa just after the big storm surge and flooding. The house was accessible and the underneath and yard had been cleaned. The house is very cute and is great for kids and family. Wrap around porch is awesome for all times of the day. Owners were helpful with check in information and house prep. Good view of the jetty and big ships coming in as well as across the street from the water spray park if you have little kids.

Relaxing

This is the 2nd time we've stayed here. Communication with property owners was great, the house was very clean which is why we like to stay there. Close enough to the beach without having to be right on it with all the crowds, so it was a nice and quiet weekend.

Great location by the beach.

The house was perfect for our getaway and the hosts very responsive. The house is a short 5 minute walk to the beach and very clean. There were plenty of rooms and beds for all 10 of us. Would recommend for any family looking for a quiet getaway.

Family Stay

Overall, the facility was as advertised. A couple of suggestions, though. There were twelve of us staying and only two partial rolls of toilet paper. We didn't plan to furnish our own. Also, the downstairs/outside shower glass had been broken and small pieces of glass were still around the frame of the glass and on the ground. One of our granddaughters cut her foot on a piece of glass from the door.

We rent a beach house every year now that most of the kids are grown. This has been the best experience so far! The location is perfect, house is well maintained, and the owners checked in on us to make sure everything was going well. I will definitely stay here again!

We had a great time at Coastal Distancing. The kids had fun with the loft and TV and the bunk bed room and playing Wii. We had nearby friends over for dinner and there is plenty of room for entertainment for large families booking the home as there were only 5 of us. Would definitely recommend.

Great time

The property was clean and inviting, the decorations of the home were amazing and accommodating. We did have a little bit of a problem with the water pressure in the bathroom showers but the downstairs shower outside was amazing. About a block and a half two blocks from the beach great location beautiful property. Would refer you to this property and any others like it. Had a great time with family and friends.
