Everything was perfection! The place is oozing with charm, and any question I had was replied to almost immediately, both before my stay and during. I absolutely loved this unique property. Easy parking right there, all the amenities you could hope for, and easy to walk out the door and explore downtown.

We had the most wonderful stay at this charming carriage house tucked back into one of the Charleston's historic neighborhoods!! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed and completely taken in by its character, beauty and cozy inviting charm. So many little touches, like the fun artwork and books on the historic aspects of the Holy City complimented the space. We especially loved the attention preserving the historic charm with exposed brick and reclaimed or original?? wood, while maintaining a fresh and stylish ambiance. The kitchen was absolutely beautiful and a perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee while looking out into the garden! Everything was extremely clean, neat with a touch of the luxurious. The beds were incredibly comfortable and perfect for a great night sleep after a day of walking and dining through the streets of Charleston. The location and recommendations by the hosts were spot on too! Would definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable Charleston get-away!!

Amazing little spot

This place is amazing — lush gardens, quiet and tucked away off a beautiful residential street (but yet walkable to everything), very nice hosts and a beautiful dog. Loved the interior design too. Would stay again! Thanks

A Gem in the Heart of Charleston

Every aspect of this property is amazing. It’s hard to say if the property (design, comfort, overall vibe) is the main attraction or the location (beautiful neighborhood, blocks away from the heart of the city). We truly fell in love. I will ALWAYS come back here- worth every penny.

Southern Charm

The most charming house! From the moment we stepped through the door, we were enveloped in a sense of comfort and tranquility that truly made our vacation memorable. The atmosphere that was created here is nothing short of beautiful. Every detail, from the elegant decor to the cozy furnishings, contributed to an ambiance that felt both luxurious and inviting. Whether we were relaxing in the living room or enjoying a meal in the well-appointed kitchen, we couldn't help but feel right at home. Thank you for providing such a wonderful retreat for our time in Charleston. We leave with cherished memories and a deep appreciation for your hospitality. We hope to have the opportunity to return someday soon.

Immersive Charleston Experience!

My daughter and I had the pleasure of staying at Casa Zoe, aka The Carriage House for a mother/daughter getaway. Check in process was seamless. Host was cobra quick in responding to all questions both before and during our stay. Also, he recommended nearby restaurants and we will both be eternally grateful for his recommendation of soft shell crab! So very good! We loved the property! It is indeed an authentic carriage house that has been renovated so that it both charming and comfortable. Upon entering , you feel the history and can imagine “how things were”. When I research my VRBO’s I read EVERY review. One person had mentioned that the floor boards had gaps. To me that elevates this place. It was a carriage house and the upstairs was probably used for storing feed. Way cool! If you want a cookie cutter hotel there are plenty in Charleston! Parking is easy, the spot it right there. It is quiet, yet easy walking distance to top attractions. I walked to the Battery every morning, We particularly loved the outdoor courtyard for wine and snacks in the evening. A great place to relax, and once again very private. I have been to Charleston about a dozen times and this was, by far, my favorite place to stay! My daughter declared she wanted to live there. Will definitely be back!

Charming and well appointed

My mother and I stayed in the carriage house with my daughters (13,11) over the winter break. The house is so charming and well appointed, providing everything we needed for an enjoyable stay in Charleston. We all agreed that the beds were very comfortable and the garden area was so beautiful to look out onto. Would absolutely stay here again on a return trip!
