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 remodeled, 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 handsome 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 splendid 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 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.

How to find the best vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summertime is high season in Beaufort. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and picking your Beaufort, SC rental home:

• To start, have your group commit to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Fully renovated, luxuriously appointed 1920s home in Historic District has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is optimal for your family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More tips for your visit:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
