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 marvelous space exists, a peaceful little neighborhood located in the dunes with pretty empty beaches. A far cry from the busy beaches to the north and south. It was so easy for us to walk to the water with our little ones and all our beach gear. Will absolutely stay here again!

Strategies to get the very best Crystal Coast rental experience:

When to book a Crystal Coast rental & When to go:

• Book your rental in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Crystal Coast area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. The Griffin House, Almost Oceanfront House in Pine Knoll Shores, NC! has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is right for your group.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the host immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peace. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
