At Palmetto Bluff, life moves at the pace of the tides; slow enough to savor, yet rich with moments worth sharing. And when it comes to welcoming the people you love most, the right home makes all the difference. Select properties here are designed with hosting in mind, offering guest houses, carriage suites, or casitas that create the perfect balance of connection and privacy.
Whether you’re planning for multi-generational living, accommodating long-term visitors, or simply want a dedicated space for friends to relax in comfort, these residences deliver it all: gracious main homes, thoughtfully appointed guest quarters, and inviting gathering spaces that encourage togetherness.
Why Separate Guest Quarters Make All the Difference
Having a guest house or casita isn’t just about extra square footage; it’s about flexibility. Grandparents can enjoy quiet mornings on their own porch. Young adults can come home for the summer without feeling cramped. Friends visiting for the weekend have the freedom to settle in without interrupting your daily rhythm. It’s the kind of setup that makes hosting effortless and enjoyable, for both you and your guests.

Set on more than 24 acres in the gated Headwaters community, 11 Headwaters Road is the definition of a family compound. Designed by Wayne Windham and built by Johnson-Dulaney, the property includes a main house, a guest house, and a carriage house apartment above a four-car garage.
Inside the main residence, a soaring two-story great room with reclaimed pine floors and a tabby fireplace creates a warm focal point for gatherings. The chef’s kitchen, complete with a six-burner gas range and quartz island, flows seamlessly into dining spaces and a wine cellar—ideal for celebrations of any size. Upstairs, additional guest suites offer comfort and privacy, while the primary suite boasts his-and-hers baths, dual walk-ins, and marsh-view screened porch access.
The guest house adds three bedrooms and a kitchenette-anchored living space, while the carriage apartment offers its own kitchen, living area, and bedroom. Surrounded by 600 acres of Lowcountry beauty and overlooking the headwaters of the May River, this estate makes every visit feel like a retreat.
Inspired by Italian farmhouses yet firmly rooted in Lowcountry style, 62 Flicker Street combines timeless design with modern comfort. The main home’s open floor plan naturally flows outdoors, featuring screened porches, a pool, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen; perfect for entertaining in every season.
A detached guest cottage and a guest suite above the garage provide two distinct retreats for visitors. Whether it’s a weekend with friends or welcoming family for an extended stay, guests can enjoy private quarters while still being part of the action. With a floating dock and peaceful waterway views, this property offers both lively social spaces and quiet escapes.
Winner of an American Institute of Architects (AIA) Honor Award, 454 Corley Street is a Charlestonian classic reimagined for modern living. While it doesn’t have a fully detached guest house, its thoughtful floor plan, multiple porches, and private bedroom suites make hosting seamless.
From the layered textures of its interiors to the serene views over Cauley’s Creek, this home is designed for both style and comfort. Guests can enjoy private balconies or unwind together in the generous gathering spaces, making it equally suited for intimate family stays or festive holiday visits.
Homes with guest quarters offer something rare: the ability to bring people together while giving them room to breathe. At Palmetto Bluff, that means sharing sun-drenched mornings on the porch, evening cocktails under the oaks, and quiet nights where everyone retreats to their own comfortable space.
