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!

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.
Just another amazing, relaxing, relaxing, peaceful trip down here. This house is just so cozy and comfortable. It rained most of the time but that is totally ok. The house was so comfortable and we made the best of every moment! Can’t wait to come back for our 3rd visit!
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!
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.
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
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".
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.
Annual friends trip to Beaufort. The house is wonderful and always clean. Location is great and Allison and Mike always do a great job making us feel at home.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
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.
Pictures do not do it justice! The home is absolutely gorgeous! Location is perfect! We had the best time here! We loved spending time on the dock crabbing.
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.
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
We stayed in Beaufort for its location and history. The Pinckney house was amazing!! It was like spending time in a different era that was all charm and beauty. The house is much more spacious than the pictures show.Everything was comfortable and accommodating. We loved it!!
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.
Wonderful property and hospitality. We needed a home for our husband and furbaby to escape Helene. The property manager couldn’t have been more helpful and kind. Loved the period decor and the beautiful sunsets. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.
The house was wonderful and the views were amazing! Plenty of space for all 8 of us! A very homey atmosphere and a well stocked kitchen with dishes and utensils
Have stayed at the property five years straight and every time has been amazing. Wonderful property full of kitsch and charm with beautiful river views and a great dock.
Allison and Mike are fantastic to deal with. Very responsive and super helpful. Already excited about next year.
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.

About the host
Hosted by Allison Pinckney
The owners are brother and sister, who grew up in this house. Built by our father, we (along with our spouses) have recently upgraded it while trying to keep much of the family home charm that it has always had. It is a special place to us, and we hope it will be to you, too!
