December 13, 2023 - 5 Stars - Katy Dunne
This home has plenty of room with separate living quarters plus really simple beach access right across the street. It's on a peaceful street, feels very private, and has a great view from the enormous deck. I appreciate 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 adored 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 charming empty beaches. A far cry from the busy beaches to the north and south. It was so painless for us to walk to the water with our little ones and all our beach gear. Will absolutely stay here again!

Finding the best vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in Pine Knoll Shores. To get the best value, change your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• In the Havelock area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Havelock visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfect Havelock rental:

• To start, have your family commit to dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. 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 Havelock rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's a particular Havelock destination you are crazy about, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
