About this property

Pine Knoll Shores Canal, NC Comfortable Beach Get-Away

Coastal gem on a beautiful canal lot with private dock and sleeps 12. Enjoy the best beach vacation with a spacious cathedral ceiling living area which opens out to a giant dual level waterside patio with jacuzzi, fire-pit, new Weber Genesis grill, dining space, enclosed outdoor shower, ping pong table, ring toss, and huge lounge area next to the dock. Tie up your boat, kayaks, or just fish and swim from the dock. Even a doggy swim ladder! You can hear the ocean from the dock.

Inside, there's the master suite, two guest bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a full bed and a single with trundle. A "pirate's loft" space via a ladder with 5 twin beds is great for kids. The wet bar is great for the "big kids".

Pine Knoll Shores boasts private beach access with showers and a decked viewing area that's within easy walking distance of our house, or enjoy private secured parking. Our golf cart is available too for a nominal weekly fee. PKS features waterfront parks to watch sunsets and play basketball, the NC Aquarium, and neighborhood golf course! There are three private boat ramps in the neighborhood you can use and ample space in our driveway/parking pad to park your trailer. You can tie your boat to our dock in the canal.

PKS is a great base to explore Beaufort, Cape Lookout, Fort Macon, Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach and so much more.

Linens and towels are provided along with all of the utensils you could possibly need. A random collection of beach chairs, boogie boards, bocce balls, and other toys continues to grow in the outside closet. TVs in every room, free high speed internet, a printer, PAC Man video arcade game and other surprises await you.

For security and inclement weather conditions, there are 3 cameras located on the property. They can be observed near the front door, back door and pointing to the dock.

Lovely stay!

We had a lovely stay in Pine Knoll Shores. We know the neighborhood well, and enjoyed the beautiful canal view of this home. Communication with the property manager was good and the home was comfortable and bright. The outdoor space and hot tub were both great! There are a few needed updates inside but all in all it was a good fit for us! Would definitely stay again.

Incredible place to relax!

We booked this as our home-base when we were in town to get married and it was the perfect place to sit back, get away, and relax in the midst of the festivities! Highly recommend booking! Process is so simple, the hosts respond quickly, and the place is peaceful, clean, and comfortable; not to mention beautiful!

Overall the house was perfect. The disadvantage was only two bathrooms for a larger group- which included teenagers. We knew that when we booked. The location on the canal is beautiful and very convenient to the beach.

Simply Wonderful

We had an amazing stay at this VRBO over Memorial Day weekend! The location on the waterway in Pine Knoll Shores was absolutely perfect. We spent mornings sipping coffee and then taking off by boat for afternoon adventures. The house itself was fantastic. It had a laid-back vibe that was exactly what we were looking for. It was also incredibly well-equipped – we had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We especially loved grilling out on the patio while our sons enjoyed soaking in the hot tub under the stars. Overall, we had a wonderful time at this VRBO. The location, amenities, and relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect place for a getaway. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Pine Knoll Shores!

Last trip

While the trip didnt happen as planned my brothers family got to go and enjoy the property and location. The kids had a great trip and really enjoyed the hot tub. They were able to come back and tell my dad all about it the day before he passed which i know will always be a great memory for them. I was also very appreciative of the communication prior to going due to a big storm that had come through.

Great Place for a Family

This property was absolutely perfect for our family…11 of us, 6 adults and 5 kids, ages 1-6…the house had 3 bedrooms for the adults and a loft for the kids. *The ladder to get to the loft is a bit steep but we stressed to the 3 older kids it was only for sleeping and we didn’t have any incidents at all.* One of the bedrooms even had an extra ‘boat’ bed that was a trundle that we used for the two youngest kids. The backyard was great as we love the outdoors. There was a hot tub, a ping pong table, a dining table and a fire pit that we enjoyed immensely. The backyard went down to a dock that had plenty of room to fish, dock our boat and play on our very large splash pad. We were concerned that there wouldn’t be enough room to park our 3 vehicles, boat trailer and 2 golf cart trailers based on the pictures of the listing, but there was ample room to park everything we brought in the driveway and enough room for the kids to play basketball. The beach was exquisite and was only a two minute ride from the house with its own private parking area. The neighborhood was gorgeous, serene and very friendly as 2 in our family walk/run every day and encountered several residents along the way. There are several parks within the neighborhood that we enjoyed as well. There is also a very beautiful golf course in the neighborhood. This home served our family very well and helped us make some wonderful memories on our vacation.

Amazing property!

My family visited Pine Knoll Shores for the first this summer and absolutely loved our experience. This property was perfect for several adults and our kids plus a few of our kids' friends. We had just enough space to spread out but the house isn't so big that we felt separated and isolated from one another. The furniture was also very, very comfortable. If you are short on beds, the large couch and chaise will lull you right to sleep! The loft was perfect for all the boys who enjoyed having their own space. The ladder is quite steep, so anyone older or with mobility issues would struggle a bit. The kitchen isn't large but it had everything we needed and then some. We ate most meals there and did not lack any gadgets / pots / etc. It was also nice having a washer and dryer. The dryer is tricky and it took several attempts to figure out how to get it to work. One of the best assets to this property is its location on the canal. We all spent many hours outside reading, relaxing and fishing off the dock. Our kids never once said they were bored because there was always something to do. The house is also very close to the beach and being able to drive right up to the access point was very convenient. The beach itself is spectacular. The water is clear and warm, so clear that we could see the fish swimming around us. The shells were incredibly plentiful and there were no crowds. We can't wait to visit again!

Hi, this is our dream beach home we hope you will love as much as us! If there is anything we can do to improve your stay, just let us know!

Why they chose this property

Pine Knoll Shores is a uniquely beautiful beach town featuring a maritime forest. You feel like you're in a "real" neighborhood but just minutes to walk to your private access beach, (or drive to gated reserved beach parking), fish or swim from your own canal, parks on the Sound to watch the sunset, golf, the NC Aquarium, and so much more!

What makes this property unique

We have a nice golf cart available for a nominal fee per stay. The beach is a short 10 minute walk (0.5 miles) or a quick car or golf cart ride to the private gated parking lot at the beach access point around the corner.
