About this property

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 king bed, 1 queen bed, 4 twin beds), 2-1/2 baths, (1 with walk in shower) it sleeps 8 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!

We always enjoy our stays here, very clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need and there is a Weber charcoal grill out back. Eating on the screened porch and watching the jets training is a real treat, like your very own air show. We love Pinckney Homeplace.

This home is beautiful, spacious, and has so much character. Nestled in a safe, quiet neighborhood, it offers sidewalks for walking, and a small park with swings at the end of the road to sit and watch the sunset. It's own private dock is great for crabbing, fishing, birdwatching, and enjoying the changing of the tide in the marshland. This house is a true treasure. You will not be disappointed!

The house was spacious, in a beautiful and safe neighborhood, and right on a tidal creek. The views from the gazebo in the marsh were fantastic. The sunsets were amazing. So many shore birds flying in and out with the tides. Beaufort is a wonderful place to visit - so much history. If you like fresh seafood, there are some fantastic restaurants. So much to see and do in the area.

Perfect girls getaway! The kitchen has everything you need, and the beds were perfect, we all slept like champs. Also loved that there is a washer and dryer. The house is so comfortable, you can tell it’s still a family home that is cherished and the family wants you to be comfortable and relaxed. Allison allowed us to change our check out time and that made a huge difference for us. We can’t wait to go back, we won’t even consider staying somewhere else.

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.

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.
