Kingfish Bay: The New Standard for Coastal Retirement Living

How Kingfish Bay is Elevating the Art of Living Well After 55

There’s a fresh breeze blowing through the world of retirement, and it’s coming from the Carolina coast. The days of retirement meaning slowing down and settling for less are now a thing of the past. Today’s retirees are embracing their golden years with boldness, purpose, and style. 

They're looking for more than just a house–they want a lifestyle. And nestled in the charming town of Calabash, North Carolina, Kingfish Bay Development is setting a new standard for what retirement living can look like.

A Fresh Take on the “Retirement Dream”

Today’s retirees are looking for more than shuffleboard and quiet evenings. They want connection, adventure, and luxury that’s wrapped in a laid-back, beachside lifestyle. Communities like Kingfish Bay are rising to the occasion with a mix of resort-style amenities, natural beauty, and custom home options that cater to both comfort and style.

Located just minutes from Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle, Kingfish Bay blends seaside allure with thoughtful design. From mornings by the water to days spent exploring the Carolina coast, it’s all just steps away.

It’s no surprise that Kingfish Bay Development was honored in the 2025 Wilmington-Cape Fear Parade of Homes, taking home the Best Outdoor Living Home award in its price category. The award-winning Palm Beach II model exemplifies the community’s focus on blending luxury design with coastal living.

Designed for the Way Retirees Want to Live

Kingfish Bay homes reflect a deep understanding of what today’s active adults are looking for: comfort, elegance, and flexibility. Ranging from charming bungalows facing nature preserves to luxurious waterfront homes with private docks, there’s a space here to match every vision of “retired life goals.”

Plus, the community is built with a strong commitment to nature. With preserved green spaces, tranquil walking paths, and a design that embraces the outdoors, Kingfish Bay invites residents to truly connect with nature, with neighbors, and with themselves.
