About this property
Fully renovated, luxuriously appointed 1920s home in Historic District
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 built 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 beautifully renovated, and is now our home. We have taken great care and love to furnish it with midcentury modern decor and luxury accommodations. We researched Consumer Reports, U.S. News & World Reports, and other "Best Reviewed" sites for every major purchase and have provided everything we have needed, and most everything we have wanted, to make it beautiful and comfortable. We took care to highlight the history and surroundings of Beaufort, and to include crafts from local artisans and merchandise from local shops.
LOCATION & THINGS TO DO: Our home is in the Historic District a few blocks from the beautiful Beaufort Waterfront with lovely sunrises and sunsets, alfresco dining, and unique stores. MCRD Parris Island is 9 miles/15 minutes from our home. We are 45 minutes from Hilton Head, 1 hour from Savannah, and less than 1.5 hours from Charleston.
Hunting Island Beach, South Carolina’s single most popular state park, is about 20 minutes 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 built 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 free admission to the lighthouse.
At 5 miles, the Sands at Port Royal is the closest beach with lovely views of the Beaufort River and the estuaries. In the evening, you likely will catch a stunning sunset with the shrimp boats coming in while dining at Fishcamp or Shellring Ale Works.
AMENITIES FOR 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 large crate, and blankets, a Coolaroo Steel-Framed Elevated Dog Bed and a few toys, and furniture covers in case your dog wants to join you on the couch.
We provide a high chair and dishes, cups and utensils for toddlers and small children. We also have an indoor tent and indoor and outdoor games for children of all ages, including an adjustable putter should your child 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, enjoying 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 love Beaufort and hope that, while staying in our home, you will find something new to love here, too.

Kelly, we spend a lot of time anticipating what will make guests have a cozy and convenient visit. I'm so happy you appreciated the ambiance. Please come back. Beaufort has so much to offer that one visit just isn't enough.

Such a cute, clean and well stocked house! It is easy to stay there and feel like you are at home. The side yard provides plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors of the Lowcountry and the screened porch is dreamy with the twin swing. I sat outside several mornings and read my book listening to the birds and people passing on morning walks. I highly recommend this rental. The hosts are super easy to work with and know a lot about the area to share and make your trip even more fun and interesting.

This place was not only beautiful but had everything we needed and more for our vacation. The kitchen was so well appointed that we enjoyed several meals there rather than going out! The fenced in yard was wonderful for the dog on our trip as well. The location was walkable to the waterfront and all the wonderful shops. We were looking for a low key vacation to spend time with friends and this was exactly it!

Beth, I'm so happy you and your friends had such a relaxing visit. And I'm glad that you enjoyed our kitchen. We have tried to make sure should you want to cook, you will have everything you need. Beaufort really does have some wonderful restaurants, but sometimes, especially after a busy day exploring, it's just nice to stay home.
I hope we see you again.
Kathy
Kathy is the most attentive host we’ve ever had. She was quick to respond and provided us with so many tips that we felt like locals.

We loved the Pruitt Grocery House! The cottage is even better than the pictures show. There is a very nice landscaped garden area with a fire pit on the side. The owners are very friendly and easy to communicate with!
We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have been more comfortable. We even had everything we needed for a beach day, comfortable chairs, and towels, and cart. I don’t think one detail was missed! we loved the screened in porch and spent a lot of time outside. The weather was absolutely beautiful. Would love to come back someday! Thanks for sharing your darling cottage with us!

Kathy, I'm so happy you all had such a fun visit. Beaufort is great for a girls' trip, so much history and things to do and places to relax. I"m glad we were a part of your sisters' trip. We welcome you all back anytime.
Charming, fully renovated cottage in the Freedman's Historic area of Beaufort.
Our stay was delightful as the cottage has been renovated beautifully. The screened in side porch, front porch and outdoor yard are lovely. The neighborhood is charming, quiet and filled with spectacular, old oak trees covered in hanging moss. The home is close to downtown and a lovely park a few blocks away. Our host was easily accessible to answer any questions or make suggestions. It was a memorable stay!
