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
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.
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.
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!
We were impressed from the beginning to the end of our stay at Casa Zoe! The most beautiful and charming place. We had everything that we needed and we all imagined how lovely it would be to actually live there!! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! I have already recommend it to several people and will definitely book it again For myself the next time i come to Charleston!!
Walking down the tree lined driveway to the carriage house is magical! The charm of this place is unreal. It was clean, had everything we needed and the owners went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. We will be back!
It was PERFECT! From the moment you walked in, it had a great smell and atmosphere. The beds were clean and very comfortable. I would love to stay there again!
Our family enjoyed the carriage house very much - the living area was comfortable and a gracious space to be together. The beds were comfortable and the location was just a short walk to anywhere in Charleston. We would definitely love to come stay again!
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!

Great Place in a nice neighborhood
We enjoyed our stay in this cool carriage house. The landlord is a great guy with a good attitude willing to take care of anything you need. Thank you Steven !
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!
It was so great to get away and relax in this charming city.
This carriage house was just perfect- we parked and never drove again. Everything is within 1 mile. There was an amazing coffee shop down the street that we went to every day, we enjoyed amazing seafood, did a walking food tour, took a boat tour for some Charleston history- it was the perfect getaway. This place was home away from home.

Magical week
Gibbon House was a perfect location from which to explore Charleston. Many things were within an easy 15 minute walk in either direction. It was also easy to get to Shemms Creek, Sullivan's, Foley, and Sullivan's Beach. Would definitely recommend the carriage house and its owner who was a wonderful host and his fabulous ambassador, Sierra.

Beautiful place...great location
Beds were too small (doubles/full)...no paper towels....no TV's in bedrooms...difficult to park...needs outdoor table to sit at
I’m reluctant to review this property as I would love to keep it all to myself! This carriage house is lovely. Quiet. Beautiful neighborhood. Historic. I will definitely be back.
