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 handsome 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!

Getting the best Havelock vacation home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Havelock rental home:

• The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Havelock area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental in the Havelock area:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 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 vacation rental search.

Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is best for your family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Havelock attraction you crave, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. message the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
