Fripp Island
Fripp Island, a private gated community, is located in St. Helena between Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia—just 18 miles east of Beaufort. Known for its white sand beaches, winding marsh waterways, and tall Palmetto trees, Fripp offers a uniquely secluded coastal setting that draws both permanent residents and second-home owners. With its distinctive topography, quiet pace, and strong sense of community, the island offers a different rhythm of living—one that values privacy, proximity to nature, and an unhurried lifestyle. Our work on Fripp reflects a deep understanding of that rhythm. Rather than impose a design, we approach each project as a response to the island’s atmosphere—its light, its views, its tides.

Callawassie Island
Callawassie Island is a private, 880-acre sea island community located between Beaufort and Hilton Head, known for its live oak canopy, tidal marsh views, and emphasis on conservation living. Many residents come to the island not just to build a house, but to establish roots in a place that values privacy, preservation, and long-term connection. Summerall Custom Construction approaches projects here with that same mindset. Rather than focus on scale or statement, we prioritize proportion, clarity, and a kind of quiet durability that suits both the land and the people who choose to live on it.

Dataw Island
Dataw Island offers a unique intersection of Lowcountry history and coastal living. Once home to a Sea Island cotton plantation, the island now balances preserved tabby ruins and centuries-old oaks with golf courses, waterways, and a residential community centered on quiet connection. Building here means working within a landscape shaped by both time and tide. Summerall Custom Construction takes a measured, context-driven approach—designing homes that acknowledge the island’s layered past while supporting the rhythms of contemporary life.
Harbor Island
Harbor Island is a private, gated barrier island known for its unspoiled beaches, rolling dunes adorned with sea oats, and rich wildlife. As a certified Community Wildlife Habitat, Harbor Island is home to nesting loggerhead sea turtles and a variety of bird species, reflecting its commitment to environmental preservation. Our team approaches building on Harbor Island with a deep respect for its natural surroundings, ensuring that each home is thoughtfully designed to complement the island's serene landscape and uphold its ecological integrity.
Bull Point
Bull Point is a gated community in northern Beaufort County where homes are spaced across large wooded lots and views open to rivers, ponds, and preserved marshland. Unlike denser coastal developments, Bull Point feels more rural and self-contained, with quiet roads, a central river club, and shared amenities designed to serve a small, spread-out population. Building here is less about imposing style and more about understanding what already exists—how light moves through the trees, how a driveway sits without cutting too deep, how a structure can settle in without calling too much attention to itself.
The Village of Distant Island
Distant Island is a small, planned community on the southern end of Lady’s Island, about five miles from downtown Beaufort. With just over 100 home sites, private docks, and a resident-only marina, it's perfect for boaters and homeowners looking for water access without the scale of larger developments. Our team treats it as a well-defined canvas—balancing client preferences with the neighborhood’s expectations and practical demands of building near tidal water.
