WANDERING THROUGH CHARLESTON

The bea's nest Isle of Palms 6 bedroom, 4 bath After traveling back and forth from New England to Charleston for years, MaryJo Anderson and her husband Bryce were ready to make their dream of owning rental properties a reality. They had the opportunity to purchase The Bea’s Nest five years ago and it has since become much more than just a rental property for the couple. It became a segue into their next venture, a rental property in Nantucket, Massachusetts named Meant to Bea. The Bea’s Nest is the second oldest home on Isle of Palms and already had its name when the Andersons purchased it. MaryJo nicknamed her husband “B” and sometimes refers to him as “bumblebee” so the name fits perfectly as well. Before the Andersons bought The Bea’s Nest, it had already undergone a full renovation thanks to Pat Kelly with Kelly Builders Carolina. In order to create their New England coastal inspired home with a southern Charleston flare, MaryJo and Bryce enlisted the help of Katie Goodrich from Ivory & Bone Interiors. The Bea’s Nest was inspired by the Anderson’s Boston roots and the Charleston glow; they wanted to create an atmosphere where New England charm met southern charm in a modern way.
