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!

It was adequate. Our first two days we had only one shower as the electricity was not working. Also we were given the wrong password for the Wi-Fi and the owner had to have some else give us the correct one. The happened the next day. It was reported that there was a high chair…. There was not. There was a chair for a small child with no straps/belt. The oven was not working correctly so it took almost 90 minutes to cook boneless chicken breast tenders at 425. The place was a very quaint lake house that was well stocked with kitchen supplies. Overall, it was adequate.

We had a wonderful time staying at the home. Son’s graduation from Marines and family gathering afterwards went perfectly. Only recommendation is beds where very firm which led to my hips hurting daily but other than that the dock, swimming and sunsets were wonderful.

Love the old home place,
Beautiful views, easy living just a mile from downtown. The house is larger than it looks and very functional-down to having 2 fridges. If you’re into gold plated faucets, don’t bother. If you feel comfortable at Grandma’s house in the 60’s with access to a dock—— do Pinckney house

Amazing location
Roomy home in quiet neighborhood with 2 close parks, amazing water views, close to downtown Beaufort and Port Royal. Lots of birding opportunities on the dock as well as at the Cypress Wetlands and Hunting Island. We especially enjoyed the Pat Conroy literary Center as well. Owners very attentive and responsive to our questions.

Incredible views and convenient location to explore Beaufort area
The location on the water and across from the marine air base is amazing. Kitchen is reasonably equipped. The home was built in 1955 and most furniture is reflective of the era. Much of the furniture is beyond its prime. The piano is beautiful but un-playable due to it being out of tune and broken keys. The booking process and project management were excellent.

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
