Our Process FAQs
Can I build a truly custom home in Kingfish Bay?
Yes. Kingfish Bay offers the opportunity to design and build a one-of-a-kind coastal home that reflects your lifestyle, taste, and vision. Rather than choosing from a limited set of standard plans, homeowners can work through a personalized design process to create a home that feels uniquely their own.
What makes a custom home in Kingfish Bay different from a standard new construction home?
A truly custom home gives you more freedom over the layout, architectural details, finishes, outdoor living spaces, and overall design. In Kingfish Bay, that also means creating a home that complements the coastal setting, tropical landscaping, and relaxed waterfront lifestyle of the community.
Are waterfront homesites available for custom homes?
Select waterfront homesites remain available in Kingfish Bay, giving buyers the opportunity to build a custom coastal home with beautiful views and a stronger connection to the water. Availability is limited, so buyers interested in a waterfront homesite are encouraged to explore options early.
Can I choose my own floor plan and design features?
Yes. The custom home process allows you to shape the home around how you want to live. Whether you want an open-concept layout, generous outdoor living areas, a first-floor primary suite, extra guest space, luxury finishes, or coastal-inspired architectural details, your home can be designed with your priorities in mind.
Is Kingfish Bay a good place to build a custom coastal home?
Kingfish Bay is ideal for buyers who want more than just a new home. The community offers a gated coastal setting in Calabash, NC, with resort-style amenities, riverfront access, and a private oceanfront clubhouse experience, making it a strong fit for those looking to build a custom home in a distinctive coastal community.

Customer Reviews
Our experience at Kingfish Bay has been amazing! We are fish out of water (no pun intended) when it comes to new construction and living far away while our home is being constructed has been scary and exciting at the same time, but with Stephanie Spicer (Sales Center Realtor) taking care of us and keeping us updated with information and photos along the way it has been so much less scary and so much more exciting! Stephanie answered all of our questions and she honestly was just as excited as we were to see the progress along the way. We are almost at the end of construction and the whole team at Kingfish has been so accommodating and we couldn’t be happier!
