About this property

Palmetto Cottage | Award Winning

Summary:
Recently featured in Condé Nast! Slide into the heart of Charleston like you own the place with Casa Zoë, your VIP pass to the city’s thrumming pulse, right where the action is—on the most elite street and on the best block in the Short Term Overlay District. But don’t worry, we keep the buzz at the doorstep; inside, it’s all about serene, chic retreat vibes, with a sprinkle of old Charleston magic and a generous pour of modern flair and whimsy.

The Space:
Step into the epitome of Casa Zoë chic with this 3BR, 3BA masterpiece, where every inch screams "design goals" and every room whispers tales of Slim Aarons' poolside glam. It's like living in a Pinterest board come to life, but with way better stories. This isn't just an apartment; it's a boho-chic sanctuary nestled in Charleston’s heartbeat, where sophistication sips iced tea with whimsy.

From the marble-drenched bathrooms that'll make your selfies 100% more glamorous, to a fully equipped kitchen, this space was designed for those who laugh in the face of ordinary. Bedrooms? We've got three, each with its own ensuite, because queueing for bathrooms is so last season. And for the culinary inclined or caffeine-dependent, we've thrown in everything but the kitchen sink—though, of course, there’s one of those too, and it’s pretty swanky.

Just a saunter away from Charleston’s culinary and shopping nirvana, you're perfectly placed to dive into the city's vibrant scene—or just people-watch with a locally roasted coffee in hand. Whether you’re crashing in one of the queen beds or the bunk beds (because why should kids have all the fun?), this space promises not just a stay but a story. So come for the luxury, stay for the laughs, and leave with plans to return. Casa Zoë is calling.

The Neighborhood:
Cannon-Elliotborough embodies the quintessential Charleston charm: a blend of fine dining, quaint cafes, vibrant bars, and one-of-a-kind boutiques that echo the quirkiness of an eccentric relative. With its streets inviting leisurely strolls, you'll navigate the neighborhood like a seasoned local, stumbling upon hidden gems at every corner. Positioned just moments from the bustling energy of King Street, it strikes a perfect balance between a tranquil retreat and the city's dynamic rhythm. For those seeking an authentic Charleston experience, Cannon-Elliotborough is the place to be—it captures the city's vibrant essence in a way that's lively yet pleasantly subdued.

Getting Around:
Step lively or tap your app—around here, you're never stuck. Take a leisurely walk to local gems or catch an Uber in a snap for beach trips and city adventures. With everything just a wander away, and rides aplenty, you're set for the easy life in this walker's paradise. Convenience is king, and you're wearing the crown!

Other Things to Note:
Casa Zoë guests get exclusive access to The Wonderer Charleston, a private 2-acre oasis downtown with a pool, eateries, bars, cabanas, a gym, spa therapies, workspaces, live music, and social events. It's an adult-only club with a Bali-Tulum vibe. Note: Day passes are first-come, first-serve, and booking ahead is advised for visits between April 15th - September 1st. Groups over 8 need approval and may need to rent a cabana. The Club's entry age is 25, with exceptions for members' guests or special permissions. Check for age limits at special events.

Please note that Bennett Holdings, LLC and The Wonderer are distinct companies. Access to The Wonderer is a bonus and subject to availability; we cannot offer credits if access is denied. For any concerns at The Wonderer, please contact their staff directly.

Wedding with Wonderful Family Healing

The house was perfect for our stay to attend a wedding. The wedding was beautiful but the house offered a great place to congregate not only with those staying at the house but for others staying elsewhere to meet to go to dinner or just catch up for a few minutes. The host was exceptionally attentive. I had several questions and they were answered within minutes. A wonderful choice for us.

Perfect in every way

I rented the Aviary so that my adult son, daughter and I could spend three days in Charleston together. The place was beautifully and tastefully appointed, with all necessary amenities. Communication with the owner was effortless. Located in a quiet neighborhood, it was just a seven minute walk to a free trolley stop, although walking all the way down to the Battery wasn't out of the question. I highly recommend the Aviary as one of the nicest rental-by-owner places in which I've stayed.

Nice space. Lacking a few basic.

Very nice space-bright and airy. Very comfortable. Location is convenient to King St. Neighborhood is in transition with older and recent renovations. The kitchen is not set up for serious cooking. There are no pantry items and very limited cabinet and counter space. There were no basic cleaning items; broom, dustpan, etc. Manager was very slow in responding to basic question of how to get into the space. Turns out it was unlocked. There was no information on WiFi access (took over a day to get password from manager, check out instructions, etc. We had a great stay-just missing some basic amenities and communication with manager.

Second stay at this gorgeous house!

I stayed at this rental last year and loved it so much, I had to come back! The location is great- in a cute area downtown within walking distance to restaurants and boutiques. Love the charming feel of the interior with a mix of modern updates and comfortable furnishings. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed.

Charleston Charm

This home was perfect for our group - two couples and we each have a teenage son. The parents each had their own bedroom with en suite on the 2nd floor. One boy had a bedroom on the first floor and the other slept on the pull out sofa. They shared the full bath on the first floor. There was ample seating in the living room for 6 people and the kitchen was well stocked. There are plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. You need to drive to most of the main tourist attractions, but they are only about 10 minutes away. There was a picnic table outside for morning coffee, but it would have been nicer to have a more formal courtyard or deck. The owner was very nice and attentive.

We were 3 couples, and the accommodations were perfect. Each couple felt they had privacy. There is ample parking, but it was a little difficult finding the location, since we drove ourselves. Owner/property manager responded immediately to text. The location is excellent. I would highly recommend this VRBO!

Five Star

Great property in great location with great management. Perfect for 3 couples. We had 2, but 3 would be fine. Even better, could easily do 8+ couples or several family groups in this compound. Also, 2 minutes from Cannon Green if involved in a wedding there. Finally, easy to King, easy to entire peninsula, easy to West Ashley, easy to Mount Pleasant and beaches, and easy to airport.

Lovely Downtown Stay

This house was situated in a convenient downtown location for my birthday weekend. We stayed in the “Aviary” portion of the property. Beautifully decorated and perfect for our every need. Spacious, clean bedrooms and bathrooms. The living and dining area provided a great layout for us to cook breakfast and hangout. We walked to restaurant and bars with ease. We are already planning our return and will definitely stay here again.
