At Casa Zoë, our motto is a Vita, Amicus, Amor - Life, Friendship, Love.

We believe in the beauty of intentional spaces, soulful design, and warm hospitality.

We craft spaces that feel soulful, layered, and effortlessly elegant.



Royal Cottage I is a sun-drenched, 4-bedroom, 5-bath retreat where soulful design meets gracious hospitality.

• Vaulted ceilings + abundant natural light

• 4 en-suite bedrooms - ideal for families or friends

• Five full bathrooms with spa-level finishes and lighting

“Royal Cottage was a dream—the interiors felt like a magazine, and the porch was our favorite spot.” – Kelsey, San Antonio, TX



“Luxury and location in perfect balance. We walked everywhere, then came home to this beautifully designed space.” – Rebecca, Milwaukee, WI

After booking, you’ll receive our comprehensive Casa Zoë Welcome Guide—filled with local recommendations, house details, check-in info, and thoughtful extras to help you make the most of your stay.



The Neighborhood:

Tucked into one of Charleston’s most walkable neighborhoods, this part of Cannonborough–Elliotborough blends historic charm with the city’s most exciting culinary and creative energy. It’s where locals go for coffee, dinner, and boutique shopping. You’ll feel like a Charleston insider from the moment you arrive.



You’re close to everything - yet just far enough from the bustle to enjoy slow mornings and quiet evenings on the porch.



This is the Charleston people fall in love with.

From your doorstep, you can easily walk to:

• Sugar Bakeshop (just around the corner) for morning treats

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!
