We had such an incredible time at Casa Zoe! Cannot stress how perfect of a stay it was for a girls weekend in Charleston! The team was very responsive on any questions we had about the property, there were excellent recommendations for food and activities in the area, the decor was adorable and the beds were extremely comfortable. The extra bathrooms made getting ready a breeze. Down to the outlets, everything was so well thought out! Thank you so much for making our stay so wonderful!

We came to Charleston, first trip, as conference attendees for my real estate company. We were already excited but when we pulled up to sweet Casa Zoe in the twilight, with the gas lanterns glowing beside a teeny blue door and a porch overflowing with jasmine, we knew our stay was going to be fabulous! Casa Zoe Unit A is an incredibly comfortable space that is speckled with luxury touches and details. The design concept is unique and stylish, whimsical and nostalgic all rolled into one magical experience. For 3-4 adults, it worked really well for us as each bedroom has its own bath. The beds were super comfy and the Juliette balconies are a very cool. Stay here! You will not be disappointed.
