We believe a good getaway changes everything

Coastline started with one shared cottage and a simple idea: that the best holidays happen in real homes, hosted by real people who love where they live.

Our story

Born on a foggy morning in Azure Cove

In 2016, two friends rented out a weathered beach cottage they'd spent a summer restoring. The guests left a note that read, "We forgot what slowing down felt like — thank you." That note is still pinned above our desks today.

What began as one home is now a community of more than 1,400 coastal hosts across 38 seaside towns. We've stayed small where it matters: every property is still personally vetted, and every host still gets a real human on the phone.

We're not the biggest booking platform out there, and we never wanted to be. We just want to be the one that feels like a friend handing you the keys to their favorite place by the sea.

What we stand for

The values that guide every stay

They keep us honest whether you're a first-time guest or a host welcoming your hundredth family.

Hospitality first

Every detail, from the welcome basket to the late-night text, is designed to make you feel genuinely cared for.

Honest by default

Real photos, transparent pricing, and no hidden fees. What you see is exactly what you'll arrive to.

Love for the coast

We support local hosts, businesses, and beach-cleanup crews who keep our shorelines beautiful.

Homes, not hotels

We champion unique, characterful places with real stories — never cookie-cutter rentals.

Effortless travel

Smart check-in, instant answers, and a booking flow so simple you'll be planning the next trip before you arrive.

Travel that gives back

A share of every booking funds coastal conservation, so your holiday helps protect the shore you love.

A community, measured in memories
