Charming cottage in beautiful Charleston

We spent four days in Charleston for a wedding. The cottage was perfect for our party of four. The location was super convenient. It was walking distance to King Street and had several coffee shops, restaurants and bakeries within two block. The cottage itself was clean, well equipped and comfortable seating and beds.

An oasis in downtown Charleston!

We were delighted with the Casa Zoë blue cottage! It was impeccably decorated, fresh and clean, and extremely accommodating. I traveled to the city with my two friends and having a living space, large bedrooms, an outdoor shower, patio, and lovely kitchen made the stay very enjoyable. It was better than staying in a hotel and so quiet! We would return in a minute. Gorgeous!

Charleston Trip

Our stay in Charleston was absolutely perfect. The location of the Blue Cottage at Casa Zoe was fantastic! The home was exactly what we had hoped for, it was only a few blocks away from King Street which made everything so convenient. We plan on coming back to Charleston. We know exactly where we would want to stay, Casa Zoe if it’s available.

The Blue Cottage is amazing

This was truly the best weekend stay. The cottage and host were amazing. It was perfect for my husband and I and our pups. Location to downtown was perfect. A few minutes walk to dining and shopping. The Blue cottage is stunning and had everything or anything we needed. We definitely plan to stay here again. Highly recommend visiting the Blue cottage for your stay in Charleston.

Charming property, conveniently located to Upper King St.

My 15yo daughter and I enjoyed staying in the Blue Cottage during YALL Fest. Just the right size for the two of us and all our things. Could add 2 more people to the mix with bed sharing. Had to contact property manager upon check-in with some questions. She responded quickly and was friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

Great cottage in terrific location

This little house was perfect for my husband, our teenager and me. Roomy enough, comfy beds, outdoor shower which I always love, good sheets and towels, and walking distance to everything in this part of town. Close by there is a cute bagel store (Holey Bagels) and a great little cafe (Babas) that also serves cocktails and is bustling all day. The property manager was really helpful as well. And re: walking to things- it’s right by King street where there are tons of restaurants and shops, we walked all the way to the city market, Rainbow Row and Pineapple fountain. It’s a great home base. Thanks for having us!!!

Great Girlfriend's weekend Getaway

Very nice cottage with easy parking, centrally located to shopping, restaurants, and bars. Just a few blocks from King Street and surrounding restaurants were phenomenal. Amenities that were provided were such nice to haves. Kitchen was more than well stocked with basics needed for cooking meals or just having snacks. Having additional mirrors would have been nice (a must for 4 women), and more than 1 key in the lock box would be handy. Other than that, very clean, well kept and charming. Linda L

Work trip

We really enjoyed staying here - it has a very cute set up, is diminutive but all you need for a stay in this interesting city. Only a few teething issues with door locks not working and some minor refurbs that would be easy to fix but otherwise very charming and would definitely stay again. Tucked away as a sort of ‘carriage house’ beside the main house. It is very well located near the restaurant district of Charleston on kings street. We walked everywhere and was in striking distance of two excellent breakfast places (Babas and Holey Bagels). The owners and property managers were very responsive and we really enjoyed our stay. Would throroughly recommend. Look forward to coming back

Lacking some amenities

Some of the electrical plugs do not work. Made charging devices very difficult. No closets-hook in bedrooms with a few hangers was the only -place to hang anything. NO DRAWERS!!! No place to put anything. Had to live out of suitcases. No towel racks. No place to eat. Had to eat bowls of cereal on our laps. Not a very user-friendly place.
