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!
