A rare find in Charleston. This carriage house feels less like a rental and more like stepping into a beautifully preserved story. The historic bones are unmistakable, from the warm brick and arched doorways to the tucked-away loft bedrooms, yet everything is layered with comfort and thoughtful design. Fresh-cut flowers in nearly every room added a quiet elegance, and the curated artwork gave the space a lived-in, soulful charm you don’t often get.Morning light filtering through those incredible windows and evenings settling into the cozy, textured interiors made it hard to leave. And the location couldn’t be better, perfectly placed in the historic district, close to everything, yet private and peaceful once you step inside.Three nights wasn’t enough. we’d return in a heartbeat.

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!!

Gorgeous historic charm

Cannot say enough about how much we loved this property. It is in a very safe, very quiet area but within a 15 minute walk to King Street and tons of restaurants and shops. It is located behind the main house so it is set off of the main street a little bit and very private. The courtyard is beautiful and serene with high walls around it. The house itself is gorgeous, with exposed wood beams and beautiful brick walls. Despite the old world look, it is modern inside with a nice shower, 2 bathrooms, WiFi, and smart TV. There was an iron and ironing board available, stacked washer/dryer, and lots of extra sheets, blankets, and towels. Communication with management was literally immediate with responses to any questions within a few minutes. Wonderful place to call “home” for a visit to Charleston!

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!

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.

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.
