The Griffin House, Almost Oceanfront House in Pine Knoll Shores, NC!
Welcome to The Griffin House, a charming almost oceanfront retreat in beautiful Pine Knoll Shores. This spacious 4-bedroom, 2 full bath, and 2 half bath home is thoughtfully designed across two levels, offering both comfort and privacy — ideal for a large family or two smaller families vacationing together.
The Main Floor features an open and airy great room with living, dining, and kitchen areas, perfect for gathering and relaxing. You’ll also find two bedrooms, a bonus room, a Jack-and-Jill full bath, and an additional half bath on this level. The wrap-around deck provides plenty of space for soaking up the sun or enjoying a picnic outdoors, all while taking in the beautiful Atlantic Ocean views from every south-facing room.
The Ground Floor offers a cozy second living area, a smaller kitchen, two bedrooms, another Jack-and-Jill full bath, and a half bath — creating a fully functional second living space that allows everyone to stay together while still enjoying their own privacy and comfort.
Step outside and you’ll find public beach access directly across the street, making it easy to spend your days with your toes in the sand and your evenings relaxing to the sound of the waves.
Located in Pine Knoll Shores, you’ll be close to all that the Crystal Coast has to offer — from the NC Aquarium to the coastal towns of Emerald Isle, Swansboro, and Beaufort, all rich in charm and maritime history.
The Griffin House truly offers the best of both worlds — space, comfort, and stunning views, all just steps from the ocean.

Testimonials:
December 13, 2023 - 5 Stars - Katy Dunne This house has plenty of room with separate living quarters plus really easy beach access right across the street. It's on a quiet street, feels very private, and has a great view from the large deck. I love 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 nearby, too! I will absolutely be back to the Griffin House again!
December 13, 2023 - 5 Stars - Melissa Mason The house had everything we needed for our group and so close to the water! I loved the view from the upstairs living space, flooded with sunshine and ocean vibes even when you are inside. The deck is the perfect sunset spot to sit with a glass of wine and soak it all in. It's hard to believe this amazing space exists, a quiet little neighborhood nestled in the dunes with beautiful empty beaches. A far cry from the crowded 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!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
