About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

5 min to downtown and 15 min to beach. Family-friendly home w/ playroom and multiple seating areas.

Looking for a centrally located, family-friendly gathering place for your family or friends? The Gathering Place provides its guests with a terrific location (close to downtown Charleston, numerous shops, restaurants & grocery stores in Mt. Pleasant and the local beaches on Sullivan's Island) in a warm, welcoming & comfortable environment with multiple seating areas, a large front yard and children's playroom. With its three separate seating areas (two of which have large screen smart TVs), you can easily create separate areas for the kids and the adults in your group.

Perfect location for visitors attending those Charleston Weddings, College of Charleston or Citadel graduation, or just a fun week in the # 1 city in the U.S.! Please note that parties or events are not actually permitted at the home as we are in a nice quiet residential neighborhood and we’d like to stay here! :)

The Gathering Place is located in quiet, historic Scanlonville, a neighborhood in Mt. Pleasant very close to the Ravenel Bridge. Close to the site of the former Riverside Beach pavilion where some of America's finest jazz, blues, and R&B acts played in the 30, 40's, 50's and 60's. Musical legends such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong., B.B. King, and Ivory Joe Hunter all performed there. Now, almost nothing remains as the site became a Millionaire's retreat but there is a commemorative historic marker across from the Remley's Point Boat Landing.

From this home, you are approximately 5 min from downtown Charleston and less than 5 min from the nearest Whole Foods Market, Harris Teeter grocery store, Cinnebarre movie theater and many terrific restaurants. The Gathering Place is also approximately 15 mins from Sullivan's Island beaches.

Thanksgiving in Charleston

The Gathering Place was awesome! Very clean, convenient and spacious. Location was convenient to historic Charleston and Mount Pleasant has restaurants, shops and grocery stores. I highly recommend, and hope Gathering Place will be available for our next visit. It definitely was a home away from home.

Family vacation

Our family of seven stayed at The Gathering Place for five nights and it was a wonderful house for us. There was plenty of space, the house was clean and stocked with what we needed and the beds were comfortable. The house is also close to a grocery store and only a short drive to the beach and to downtown Charleston. While we were here we took a Ft. Sumter tour, a ghost tour and went kayaking-all were amazing! We would definitely stay again!

Great spot to explore Charleston

We rented this home for spring break, and were very happy with it. Everyone in our family of 6 was comfortable, and our kids loved having their own beds. We were meeting up with some family (who were staying in a nearby hotel) and there was plenty of space for our 2 families to hang out in the evenings. The area is super convenient to everything we wanted to do, but the neighborhood is nice and quiet. We had a great time!

Close to Downtown Charleston

This is a very nice private house in residential neighborhood. It is right across the river from Charleston. This is a much better option than staying in downtown, where rentals/hotels are more than twice the price. There is private parking and very easy access to parks, the Yorktown and Sullivan's island. The house has four bedrooms and is very spacious with a family and living room. 3 full bathrooms are fully stocked. The kitchen has all the essential utensils. The owners are very responsive. We has some difficulty with the WiFi (and with a teenager, you know that is a cataclysm). We contacted the owners and they helped us troubleshoot it in a couple of minutes. Charleston and the surrounding area are lovely. If you are traveling with a big family or group, this property is great. Highly recommended.

Good Family Location

Our large family stayed here and it was a great location in between Charleston and isle of palms. Our group had some complaints such as the smell of the old house which was easily solved with some air fresheners. Other members complained of the beds being hard. The dryer also took multiple cycles to dry small loads which we did let the host know and they assured us someone was going to come out and address that. But overall this was an awesome spot with a fully functioning kitchen and fresh linens and towels throughout. It was nice knowing we only needed to worry about bringing our own personal stuff and with so many baths we never had any issues showering which normally is a problem for such a large group. Everything was clean and the host was very responsive. Our family used the entire property including the playroom and the backyard and it was exactly what we needed for our quick trip away.

roomy clean and convenient

Very spacious house in convenient location. Three full roomy baths! As others have mentioned, access from parking can be wet (we had rain) because of older brick walkway but it was fine for us. Kitchen was very well equipped. Because of the rain we looked to the game cabinet but there were no complete games. Hopefully host will replace them...even a deck of card would have been helpful. Otherwise a very nice place to stay!
