Beach or Lake?
Two ways to live the Southern waterfront life. Discover the community that feels like home.
Hilton Head
Refined Lowcountry resort living on a barrier island known for its 12 miles of hard-packed beach, championship golf, and miles of bike paths under live oaks. Hilton Head blends upscale amenities with quiet natural beauty.
Folly Beach
The Edge of America — six miles of wide Atlantic beach, a classic fishing pier, and a laid-back surf town where flip-flops are always appropriate. Folly is Charleston's beach, beloved for its cottages, sunsets over the marsh, and easygoing salt-air charm.
Lake Murray
Columbia's backyard — a 50,000-acre lake famous for deep-water coves, boating, and spectacular sunsets. With hundreds of miles of shoreline, Lake Murray offers everything from weekend cabins to grand lakefront estates.
Lake Keowee
Crystal-clear mountain lake in the Blue Ridge foothills with 18,500 acres of pristine water and 300 miles of shoreline. Lake Keowee is the Upstate's premier address for lake living, with gated communities and long-range mountain views.
Why Palmetto & Pier
A brokerage that knows every cove and tide line.
For nearly two decades we've connected families to the South Carolina waterfront — from Folly Beach cottages to deep-water Lake Keowee estates. Local insight, honest guidance, and a network that spans the coast.

Your waterfront guides
"Marcus found us a lake house before it ever hit the market and walked us through every dock permit question. We closed in 30 days and were on the water by Memorial Day."
Danielle & Chris M.
"Our third summer booking with Elena and the Palmetto & Pier team. The house is always spotless, check-in is easy, and they had extra beach chairs waiting before we even asked."
The Okafor Family
"From the first showing to closing day, the team was responsive, honest, and genuinely kind. They felt like friends by the end."
Robert & Ann Lee
"Caroline understood exactly the kind of cottage we wanted. She found us a gem two blocks from the pier before it even hit the market."
Emily Carter
"Margaret made selling our beach house painless and profitable. Her marketing was stunning and we had three offers in the first week."
The Whitfield Family
"James found us the perfect deep-water lot and walked us through every dock permit. We are watching sunsets from our porch a year later. Best decision we ever made."
