Building your own coastal cottage in the Palmetto State isn’t just about having a home by the seaside. It’s about establishing a cherished tradition and a place where generations can gather to celebrate the yuletide season in Lowcountry style.

If a beachside abode is your aspiration, here are 4 new Cottage Group floorplans that will ignite your imagination:

The Dune: A Modern Cottage Full of Character

Featuring two stories and 2,493 square feet of well-thought-out living space, The Dune reminds you of a traditional home that’s been upgraded to reflect the desires of modern living. With 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, plus a flexible loft space, this home might have just the mix of traditional and contemporary you’ve been searching for, especially for Christmas family gatherings.

The Riverbank: A Colonial-Inspired Charmer

Reminiscent of the exterior architecture you’d find in the mid-18th century, The Riverbank is ideal for holiday get-togethers inside. An open and airy floorplan has 2,578 square feet of cozy-and-comfortable living space and 3 bedrooms to accommodate family. 3.5 bathrooms ensures privacy, and a loft can be made into a game room, media center, extra sleeping area or all three.

The Pier: A Lowcountry Grande Dame

Welcome to the queen of indoor/outdoor living! The Pier is an entertaining dream with seamless spaces that take the parties from hearth to porch with class and style. This larger home boasts 3,247 square feet of livability, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and even a golf cart garage. Imagine the sunsets over the water as your family and friends celebrate being together.

The Jetty: A Coastal Gem

A classic home that reminds you of the beautiful turn-of-the-century maisons that dot every South Carolina city, The Jetty offers 3,177 square feet of gracious living space. 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths plus a flexible loft means everyone feels welcome anytime of year.

Each new floorplan was meticulously designed by DOMA Architecture, with every detail considered with your comfort in mind, including weather-ready elevated foundations..

South Carolina’s coast offers a mild winter climate where you can enjoy outdoor activities even during the holidays… morning beach walks, afternoon kayaking through tidal creeks, or evening oyster roasts by the fire pit. What memories will you create? It’s all within your reach once you take that first step.

The Juniper – Where Hamptons sophistication meets South Carolina elegance

Impressive scale meets practical luxury. This abode has a generous 3,425 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, including gourmet kitchen, formal dining and great room that’s also complemented by ample outdoor entertaining areas. The spacious 3-car garage provides plenty of storage for beach gear, boats, and vehicles while maintaining the home’s refined aesthetic.

Flex loft for media, games, or guests. You don’t need 3 separate areas to flex your living needs, you just need this large loft space to take care of all of it. Watch movies, sports, or host your buddies for poker nights, all while offering a comfortable place for your guests to stay.

The Juniper embodies the ideal union of Northern sophistication and Southern hospitality, creating spaces that feel both elegant and welcoming. 

The Salt Marsh – Where Lowcountry classic style meets New England sensibility

Expansive luxury living. This unique home unfolds over 4,000 square feet of meticulously planned interior space, wrapped in a distinctly Charleston-meets-Nantucket look and feel. Enhanced by thoughtfully designed outdoor areas made for entertaining, the Salt Marsh brings the best of all worlds together for an active coastal lifestyle.

Outdoor living takes center stage. Featuring a grand rear screened-in verandah that seamlessly extends your living space into nature, paired with an enchanting upstairs sleeping porch that captures ocean breezes and provides an out-of-the-way retreat for afternoon naps or stargazing on summer evenings.

The Salt Marsh represents the pinnacle of coastal design, where traditional Lowcountry architecture meets the refined sensibilities of New England beachside homes. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a home that honors traditions while embracing contemporary comfort and style.

Both of these modern-yet-timeless designs offer an impeccable foundation for creating your own coastal sanctuary, where memories are made and the relaxed pace of seaside living becomes a daily reality.
