5 Lowcountry Homes and Island Retreats Across Coastal South Carolina

On a street in Beaufort, 131 Fuller Street pairs classic Lowcountry design with thoughtful modern upgrades, built by Phifer Contracting with Allison Ramsey Architects. The bright main level is arranged for easy daily living, with an open flow between the family room, dining area, and kitchen, complemented by a charming scullery. A private first-floor primary suite opens directly to a screened porch, extending the living space outdoors. Upstairs, a sitting area anchors three bedrooms for flexible use. Recent improvements include high-efficiency Carrier INFINITY® heat pumps, a rebuilt screened porch, new gutters, a paver walkway, and bath updates, plus a transferable pest bond. Outside, a fenced backyard offers a firepit and garden space, while a versatile garage apartment and oversized two-car garage add welcome versatility—minutes from Historic Downtown Beaufort and the Spanish Moss Trail.

In the heart of Carolina Bay, 1957 Gammon Street is designed for unhurried Lowcountry days, from morning coffee on the screened porch to evenings by the cozy gas fireplace. Sunlight pours into open-concept living spaces where a beautifully appointed kitchen—finished with stone countertops, stainless appliances, and a spacious island—flows into the dining room and an inviting great room. The first-floor primary suite creates a private retreat with a spa-like bath and a generous walk-in closet. Upstairs, additional bedrooms share the level with a versatile loft and a charming second-floor piazza that adds a breezy second outdoor escape. Outside, a fully fenced, landscaped backyard is tailored for privacy and easy upkeep. Parks, trails, pools, and more are just moments away, supporting a comfortable rhythm of home, community, and time outdoors.

Along the water’s edge on Fripp Island, the sought-after Davis Love Cottage offers one of only a handful of this larger floorplans, with an easement on one side that brings welcome breathing room.

A string of thoughtful updates includes 2025 HVAC, a 2025 metal roof, 2026 crawl space insulation, and a tankless water heater, plus remodeled downstairs baths and an upstairs bath remodel. Hardwood heart-of-pine floors warm the upstairs, while tile and carpet ground the downstairs.

A flexible room off the kitchen and hallway adapts easily as an additional living area, office, playroom, or bedroom.

Along the water’s edge in Jefferson, this 83.90-acre tract offers room to spread out, with planted pines covering approximately 20 acres and a property line that borders a stream. At its center is a 2020 Flintwood 16×76 mobile home (1,216 square feet) with three bedrooms and two baths—an easy, practical base for weekends away or full-time country living. A substantial 30×50, two-bay shop adds flexibility, fully wired, insulated, and heated for year-round projects and storage. While there isn’t a pond, the land’s natural water feature brings a quieter kind of presence, and the listing notes the potential for a “wet weather pond” as an option. It’s a setting designed for long walks, open skies, and unhurried days outdoors.
