Soul Surfing
This Isle of Palms residence embodies
the essence of the creative Charleston
spirit. Alex, Monica and Cortney have
created an idyllic retreat that perfectly
reflects their easy going and organic
yet luxurious lifestyle. The home
serves as homage to the local craftsman and artists in the area.
Cortney elaborates on the creativity
in Charleston: “There was a time in
my late 20s when I felt Charleston
was not moving forward. Times have
changed and I find myself in the
middle of a modern-day renaissance.
We are a community made up of
like-minded entrepreneurs who feed
off each other’s energy…we are hardworking and creative…and a whole
lot of fun! n
