Gorgeous historic charm

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!

Immersive Charleston Experience!

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!

Southern Charm

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.

A Gem in the Heart of Charleston

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.

Nice property needs work and better check-in communications

I spent 30 minutes looking around the property and adjoining property to find the mailbox where the key was to be located as per our check-in instructions. Called person I was supposed to contact if an issue and received a text back that they could not talk. Reached out to the other POC and got a delayed response as she later informed she was picking up children from camp. In the interim, tried the back doors and they were unlocked and found a key inside on the kitchen table. There was no mailbox as instructions indicated. The cabinets in the kitchen do not close all the way and we bumped are heads on a couple of occasions. Bathroom sink cold water handle leaked and the floors upstairs had enough space you could see through to the main floor. Additionally, I texted to inquire about coffee accessories prior to arrival and was informed the property had all that was needed to make coffee. However, we were disappointed to find there was only one coffee filter for a 3 day rental and barely enough coffee beans. We had to make an unplanned trip to the grocery store. Normally, I do not write a review, but when we checked out and I advised we would be leaving unlocked with key on the table as we found it, no one even had the courtesy to respond nor address the issues with check in

Amazing!

Our stay at Gibbon House was incredible. The property, including the inside and outside of the home, was beautiful, clean, and very peaceful. The location is perfect and only a 10-15 minute walk to King Street. Charleston is a wonderful city and Gibbon House was the perfect place for us to stay on our honeymoon. Furthermore, all of the kitchenware was very high quality, and there were many amenities included. Attention to the little details, such as organic and all-natural oils and soaps were very much appreciated. Thank you so much for everything - We will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful Stay/update for Check-In

This was a charming carriage home and a unique stay. All that filled the home was of high quality along with interesting books. Loved all the textures and the interior decor. The check-in instructions/time should be updated. In one place it says the check-in time is 4pm and another place says 3pm. Also, the check-in instructions say to retrieve the key from the mailbox, but this specific property does not even have a mailbox, and I had to contact the property manager to realize it simply stays unlocked (though we initially tried opening the door; the knob just sticks a bit.) Needless to say, we arrived at 3pm to see if we could check-in, couldn’t, then had to walk around for an hour to realize we could have wiggled the knob this way and that in order to have gotten in earlier. Wasn’t a big deal, though! All restaurants were a 15-25min. walk, which is scenic and perfect!
