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 delightfully modernized, and is now our home. We have taken great care and adore 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 striking 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 pretty 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 trendy 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 impressive vistas of the Beaufort River and the estuaries. In the evening, you likely will catch a gorgeous 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 sizable 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 appreciate Beaufort and hope that, while staying in our home, you will find something new to appreciate here, too.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Beaufort, SC rental home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of SC. To get the most suitable rental within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Beaufort, SC restaurants and activities.
• 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 vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitor guides which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking the best Beaufort, SC rental home:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Fully renovated, luxuriously appointed 1920s home in Historic District has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Beaufort, SC attraction you simply love, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
