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 handsomely 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 supplied everything we have needed, and most everything we have wanted, to make it gorgeous 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 pretty Beaufort Waterfront with handsome 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 gorgeous vistas of the Beaufort River and the estuaries. In the evening, you likely will catch a impressive 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 enormous 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.

Beaufort, SC rental booking tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summer months are high season in Beaufort. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
