December 13, 2023 - 5 Stars - Katy Dunne
This home has plenty of room with separate living quarters plus really painless beach access right across the street. It's on a peaceful street, feels very private, and has a great view from the huge deck. I adore this part of the island - it's very green and secluded, but also super close to Atlantic Beach and Beaufort if you want to do some shopping or find a great spot to eat. The aquarium is right close by, too! I will definitely be back to the Griffin House again!

December 13, 2023 - 5 Stars - Melissa Mason
The home had everything we needed for our group and so close to the water! I appreciated the view from the upstairs living space, flooded with sunshine and ocean vibes even when you are inside. The deck is the ideal sunset spot to sit with a glass of wine and soak it all in. It's hard to believe this spectacular space exists, a peaceful little neighborhood located in the dunes with striking empty beaches. A far cry from the busy beaches to the north and south. It was so simple for us to walk to the water with our little ones and all our beach gear. Will absolutely stay here again!

Finding the best Pine Knoll Shores rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the best rental in Pine Knoll Shores:

• Select your dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. The Griffin House, Almost Oceanfront House in Pine Knoll Shores, NC! has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before you book the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Crystal Coast beach you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
