About this property
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.

Ideally located to all the places we needed to be in Mt. Pleasant. 15 min drive to downtown Charleston. Served us well as families came together to celebrate a wedding.
The house was perfect for 10 people. Plenty of room to hang out, or to find a place to retreat if you want. It was close to everything Charleston. Downtown, Patriots Point and many other great spots.

Great stay in Charleston
We enjoyed staying at the home due to the location as we were attending a wedding in Mount Pleasant. Having all the linens & towels was very helpful too. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed the area. The hosts were very responsive in their communication as well.
Best communication with a host we’ve had in years of utilizing VRBO. House was exactly as advertised. Highly organized check in and check out process. Great communication. Had a great stay. No complaints.
Surprised husband for weekend getaway. Family from Florida and Georgia joined us. House was great. Great location clean comfortable and affordable.

Great place
We had a group of 8 adults in town for a sailboat regatta. The place has plenty of room to spread out and is very convenient. It worked out great for our 5 night stay and I would stay there again.
Thanks for having us.

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!

Plenty of Room!
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely, spacious home. So many unique features! We especially loved the large theater style couch for TV viewing in the den. It was a very relaxing stay in a quiet neighborhood. It was a short drive to downtown Charleston, but also plenty to do nearby. Easy check-in. Hosts were very communicative.
Family trip for Parents weekend and Ring ceremony at the Citadel. Ages in our party ranged from 5 months to 69. House was big enough for us to separate as needed but still all hang out together in the den/family area. Super close to restaurants and downtown. Great location. Accommodating hosts

Gathering Place
my 4 sisters and I had a great week in Charleston, staying at the Gathering Place.
The house was very clean and most importantly has 5 queen beds and 3 full bathrooms! The beds were super comfortable!
We didn't cook so can't comment on that, but we made toast and coffee each morning before we headed out which was great. The house is nice and in a great location with very easy access to Charleston and Sullivan's Island. We had our own car.
Steven was very responsive to the few questions/issues we had.
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.
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 place to stay in a safe and quiet neighborhood. The location was ideal for us. We have no complaints at all. Would stay here again if we come back to this area!
Property was perfect for us, 15 mins to the beach, had a nice play room and spacious living spaces and bedrooms. Very quiet and nice neighborhood. Highly recommend!! Hosts were very good in communication as well.
My friends and family stayed here during a recent birthday trip. There was plenty of room for all 10 of us and the location was great with quick access to all areas of Charleston! Communication with the owners was great and the check in process was so easy!
