Pinckney Home Place - Your Waterfront Home Away from Home

On the Beaufort River, 6 minutes from downtown and 20 minutes from Parris Island! This family home, designed and built in 1955, has been lovingly restored to its original 1950’s charm. With 4 bedrooms (1 queen, 1 full, 4 twins), 2-1/2 baths, (1 with walk in shower) it sleeps 8 or more comfortably. Located in quiet Pigeon Point, it offers a large living room, intimate dining room, and cozy den. Spacious kitchen with reclaimed wood floors features an electric range, dishwasher, microwave, and two refrigerators. Washer and dryer in laundry room just off kitchen. A large screened porch offers water views or stroll down the 200 foot dock to a roofed gazebo on the creek, and a large floating dock encourages swimming during warm weather months. Any time of year you may catch a glimpse of herons, egrets, or marsh hens. Or for that matter another type of "bird": F/A18s or F35Bs from nearby Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. Expect some occasional jet noise, but enjoy the show! Gorgeous sunsets!

Peaceful, Unexpected Pleasure
Definitely old-school but a lovely comfortable spot for adults who appreciate serenity and the ability to spread out in this sprawling Pigeons Point escape. Close to downtown Beaufort but off the beaten path where deep pleasurable breaths outweigh resigned sighs and rolled eyes.

Beaufort pet friendly Retreat!
Pinkney Home Place is a very restful and comfortable house right on the river and marshlands. The home is full of wonderful family memories/history and in a quiet neighborhood! It has lots of room and is very close to the beautiful downtown Beaufort. The sunroom looks out on the river and marshland where you can enjoy your morning coffee and gorgeous sunsets over the water! Your stay even includes the use of their private fishing dock! We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing vacation!!!

Great memories of past years
The stay was great. The house is exactly as listed - a throw back in time. It felt like I was staying at my grandparent house when I was a kid. Learning about the history of the home and the family was also a nice touch. I was also able to show my kids how much things have evolved over time ranging from the kitchen and bathrooms. The house was very spacious. My family of seven didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. The host provided great resources for using the washer and dryer as well as good bathroom amenities. Lastly, the location was great - a five minutes drive to downtown Beaufort. Also seeing the jets fly over each night was good enjoyment for all of us.

Wonderful!
What a fabulous property. It was absolutely beautiful and we found it to be exactly as listed. I wish the walls could talk to speak of the fun and history that this home has to offer. It was very clean and the bed in the master bedroom (we only used that bedroom) was incredibly comfortable. The dock was amazing and the lighting on it was wonderful and made for a few great evenings sitting out with a glass of wine. The location is great and no more than 10 minutes away from grocery and shopping in one direction, and the historic waterfront park in the other. We would definitely stay here again!

Extraordinary Home
This property is outstanding. Beautifully decorated and furnished. The house is spacious. Has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The view towards the river was gorgeous Loved looking out first thing every morning. Help was readily available for a few minor issues. As stated it is a 1950s house with some limitations ie small bath rooms narrow halls etc. However these issue are minor compared to the overall quality of the experience. Enjoyed the quiet Most days could only hear the birds- with an occasional jet Overall our 10 days there was terrific

Waterfront delight!
Pinckney Homeplace is a unique property. Its located in a quiet waterfront neighborhood. The interior has vintage charm dating to the 1950s. Its well equipped for cooking. There is a Mr Coffee drip machine as well as a Keurig coffeemaker. Plenty of dishes and seating. The main bedroom and twin bedroom with crib share a small bath. 2 other bedrooms share a hall bath. There's a cozy den with TV. The long dock and gazebo look over the marsh and waterway. Seating in the gazebo is a great way to spend an afternoon, watching the ducks, egrets and boats. Our family enjoyed a holiday gathering here. The owners had even provided some Christmas decor and a beautiful Nativity scene in the large living room. Thank you, Pinckney family

Beautiful setting, house is old but in good shape with lots of 1950's - 1960's vibes. Five old friends gathered for an annual trip of golf and other indulgences. Everyone of us recommended renting the same place next year.

We have stayed here many times before. It is a great property for comfort, peace and quiet, awesome view of the Intercoastal out back, the Beaufort River. And the air shows from across the river are a bonus. We never get tired of seeing the military jets fly from the training base. Such a great place to stay! Highly recommended!

Great great place and we are looking to book again
Loved this place so much. And the pictures don’t do it justice. We didn’t think the place had a tv bc there is no picture of one but there is a den with a tv not shown in their photos. The view is outstanding! The dock is awesome! The neighborhood is awesome! And super great proximity to everything! We are currently planning our next trip back now.

Needs Attention and Overall Stay in The Pinckney Place
*****May 18 - May 21.2023***** I did not go up to house this time, my friends reported these things to me. Just thought you may want to know. 1) Lock box was very difficult to open 2) Electrical plug broken off in the outlet in one bedroom with single beds not one with crib. Noticed when plugging in extension cord because no outlets in bathrooms. 3) Ceiling fan appeared to be very loose Overall my five college friends (80/81yrs. young) were very pleased with the accommodations. They enjoyed walking on the dock in the mornings and once again they were very satisfied with "The Pinckney Place" just as they were in October 2022. The house is very spacious, very clean, and met their needs by having a comfortable bed available for each one. The group was very appreciative of the friendly gift of a box of chocolates from "The Chocolate Tree".

That this property is a true find! If you love to fish or crab or sit out on a dock or under a gazebo this place is for you. The house is very large and full of character. The kitchen is probably the best stocked of any place we have stayed!

The Best Place In Beaufort
This is a very large home, despite what the photos indicate. With three bathrooms, den, living room, kitchen, porch, dock, and four bedrooms, you will not feel cramped. The view off the porch and dock are wonderful! The house is a little stuck in time....in a good way. It is well appointed and very comfortable. The neighborhood is good for walking with multiple parks and a boat ramp. The owner is responsive and very helpful. In short, this has been one of my best VRBO stays; and, I hope to come back!

Beaufort tranquility
We thoroughly enjoyed our month in Beaufort at this home full of family memories! We arrived to a spotless well equipped home, in a quiet peaceful and friendly neighborhood. Location was perfect for exploring the local area, and a large dock was available for watching the tides, crabbing or fishing. Mike next door was available for any questions and local recommendations. This is a very special place and we watched many sunsets with gratitude.
