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! :)

Guests enter the home by using the electronic keypad lock on the front door. Once you enter the home, you will find an entryway that provides you to access a living room on the left or the dining room on the right. The living room on the left has a large screen TV, hardwood floors, comfortable seating area and beautiful moulding. There is a guest bedroom located off the corner of the living room. Through the hallway you'll find the remaining three bedrooms in the home and two of the home's three bathrooms. The dining room to the right of the entryway connects to the kitchen, family room and the third full bathroom in the home.

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.

Not recommended for people with accessibility issues
Let me start with the positives, the interior was clean, the bed and linens were comfortable, it was roomy for our four generations family of eight and the location was convenient to the various parties we attended in Charleston and throughout mount Pleasant. The kitchen was adequate for breakfast and lunch, even though the lights seriously dimmed when you used the toaster and microwave at the same time. The water and ice dispenser did not witk in the refrigerator so be prepared to bring lots of water and ice. The whole vibe was rustic second hand, but at least nothing was broken or torn. The exterior was extremely neglected and gave a horrible first impression. The main reason for my review is to warn anyone with accessibility issues of the limitations in this property. Prior to booking I detailed our limitations (mom uses a walker, and my husband, an above knee amputee uses crutches. I confirmed the one bathroom had an easy step in shower with a grab bar and wide opening through the glass door. I also confirmed the front door was accessible. However, I was not warned that there are two interior steps without handrails that provide the only access to the bedrooms. Also there is not a hard surface that leads from the allowed parking spaces (rutted spots on the uneven lawn) through the long front yard. Only a narrow bumpy brick path with many angles to navigate. I was denied permission to deviate from their parking rules to get closer to the house.

Great, low-key area for a fun girls weekend
I stayed for 4 total nights for a small girls weekend. The house was great, spacious, and met all of our needs. The location was great - we were able to uber into Charleston or to the beach with ease. There are shops and restaurants within about a 12-15 minute walk from the house, which was very convenient. Embarrassingly, we did not open the first door you see upon opening the front door until a couple of days into our stay: it is the largest bathroom in the house - so don't make that mistake (not the host's fault, totally our own)! If I find myself in the Charleston area again, I would definitely consider staying here again.

Perfect House for a Group of Friends!
The Gathering Place was the perfect house for our group of friends! There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, including much-needed space away from the group for one of us to work during our stay. We had a great time cooking and the den was perfect for both sunny yoga and ending each night watching movies together. The house was also, as promised, close to both the beach and downtown, a big plus for us! The only downsides were that the house wasn't quite ready at our check-in time (which the host did communicate as check-in approached) and some of the utensils needed to be washed before we could use them, but there were no major problems at all! Overall, we had a really, really great time!

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!

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.

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.
