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! :)

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 family room also features a large screen TV and multiple seating areas which connect to the kids' playroom with its box full of toys, games and books. There is a laundry room with full-sized washing machine and dryer near the playroom. Off-street parking on the driveway for up to 4 cars is included in the rental rate.



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.

Good property

This was a good last minute find that could hold 3 families, ten people total and each having our own bathroom. The property is in a super convenient location. The extra beach towels and washer and dryer were great extra features. My only complain was not knowing that this was shared house and that there was other people upstairs and the beds not being memory foam… other than that it was great.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 March 2026
Thank you, Hannah, for leaving such a thoughtful review about your stay at The Gathering Place! We’re delighted to hear that our property was a great find for your group of three families and that you appreciated the convenience of having your own bathrooms. It’s wonderful to know that the extra beach towels and the washer and dryer added to your comfort. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the shared nature of the house and the type of beds. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll take it into consideration moving forward. We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay! Steven, iTrip Charleston Beaches

Response from VrboOwner on 28 November 2025
Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your thoughts. The home is exactly as shown in the listing, and part of its charm comes from those original wood floors. They can’t be wet-mopped frequently without risking damage, but we do steam clean them on a regular schedule to keep them in good shape. Even so, we’ll have our team take another look to be sure everything is meeting the standard we expect. As for updates, we’re always reviewing the property and making improvements where they add real value while keeping the character of the home intact. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope the rest of your visit to the Lowcountry was enjoyable.
