As soon as you step through the 100 plus year old oak double doors, you know this is not just another rental. On the outside, it has changed very little since Pruitt's Grocery was constructed as a family-owned neighborhood corner store in 1920. It was the last one operating in the NW Quadrant just before Mr. Pruitt died in 2015. Inside, it has been attractively refreshed, and is now our home. We have taken great care and appreciate to furnish it with midcentury modern decor and luxury accommodations. We researched Consumer Reports, U.S. News & World Reports, and other "Finest Reviewed" sites for every major purchase and have included everything we have needed, and most everything we have wanted, to make it elegant and comfortable. We took care to highlight the history and surroundings of Beaufort, and to include crafts from local artisans and merchandise from local stores.

LOCATION & THINGS TO DO:
Our home is in the Historic District a few blocks from the handsome Beaufort Waterfront with delightful sunrises and sunsets, alfresco dining, and unique stores. MCRD Parris Island is 9 miles/15 mins. from our home. We are 45 mins. from Hilton Head, 1 hour from Savannah, and less than 1.5 hours from Charleston.

Hunting Island Beach, South Carolina’s single most fashionable state park, is about 20 mins. away. A pristine white, sandy beach, marsh and maritime forest, a saltwater lagoon and ocean inlet hosting a vast array of land and marine wildlife are all part of the park’s natural allure. The historic Hunting Island Lighthouse was constructed in 1859 and rebuilt in 1875 after it was destroyed during the Civil War. A unique feature of the lighthouse is that it was constructed of interchangeable cast-iron sections so it could be dismantled should it ever need to be moved. We provide a complimentary pass to Hunting Island State Park, along with beach chairs, towels, and a beach cart, should you want to take advantage. The pass includes complimentary admission to the lighthouse.

At 5 miles, the Sands at Port Royal is the closest beach with handsome vistas of the Beaufort River and the estuaries. In the evening, you likely will catch a striking sunset with the shrimp boats coming in while dining at Fishcamp or Shellring Ale Works.

AMENITIES FOR FAMILY PETS & CHILDREN
We are pet friendly with a fenced in yard, and also provide some dog amenities so you won't have to pack so much - beds, food and water bowls, one huge crate, and blankets, a Coolaroo Steel-Framed Elevated Dog Bed and a few toys, and furnishings covers in case your dog wants to join you on the couch.

We provide a high chair and dishes, cups and silverware for toddlers and modest kids. We also have an indoor tent and indoor and outdoor games for kids of all ages, including an adjustable putter should your kid want to join you on the green. (Let me know if you would like to have our manager leave out the high chair and pack 'n play.)

Whether you’re exploring the historic neighborhood, shopping on Bay Street, appreciating a mouthwatering meal alfresco along the Waterfront, napping on our screened porch, or perfecting that shot on our one hole putting green, we know you’re going to be happy you’re here. We adore Beaufort and hope that, while staying in our home, you will find something new to appreciate here, too.

Finding the best rental home experience:

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

• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summertime is high season in the Beaufort, SC area. To book the largest rental within your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Beaufort, SC restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the perfect rental in the Beaufort, SC area:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Fully renovated, luxuriously appointed 1920s home in Historic District has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a specific Beaufort, SC beach you crave, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
