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 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 exceptional 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 painless for us to walk to the water with our little ones and all our beach gear. Will absolutely stay here again!
