Serving Calabash, NC

Calabash is about 40 minutes down NC-179 from our Oak Island office, and we work it regularly — a broker can meet you at a showing the same week.

Calabash sits at the southern end of Brunswick County where the Calabash River meets the Intracoastal Waterway, a few minutes from the South Carolina line. It is best known for its seafood houses and its golf, and it draws a steady mix of full-time retirees and second-home buyers who want the coast without island prices. Inventory runs to patio homes, golf-course villas and waterway lots, and the proximity to North Myrtle Beach means buyers frequently compare it against South Carolina alternatives.

Including Brunswick Plantation, Carolina Shores, Crow Creek and the surrounding area.

What we do in Calabash

Calabash questions

How does buying in Calabash compare to Oak Island?

Calabash is generally less expensive per square foot and skews toward golf and waterway communities rather than oceanfront. You trade direct beach access for more house, lower flood exposure in many of the inland communities, and an easy drive to both Sunset Beach and North Myrtle Beach.

Are most Calabash homes in an HOA?

A large share are. Brunswick Plantation, Carolina Shores and Crow Creek all carry dues, and the amenities and restrictions differ considerably between them. Read the covenants and the current budget before you go under contract, and ask specifically about any pending special assessment.

Is flood insurance required in Calabash?

It depends entirely on the parcel. Waterway and creek-adjacent lots are frequently in a mapped flood zone while many inland golf-community homes are not. Check the FEMA designation and ask for an elevation certificate during due diligence, before the window closes.

Their selling services are truly like no other — the 1.5% listing commission is a game-changer, but what really sets them apart is the level of professional marketing and genuine care they put into every single transaction.
