BEWARE!!! We expected a hygienic house, especially with the pandemic, but found a house not sanitized. Cleaning supplies were left in the living room, a cat "pooper scooper" on the floor of the main bedroom, cat litter in the bathroom, and cat toys scattered across the house. The most egregious concern was a foul odor from a bathroom off the kitchen. It was evident a cat had been kept in the bathroom, and the smell was overwhelming. More importantly, the odor of cat urine permeated the kitchen and dining area. When we mentioned this problem to our host, he told us the house had been professionally cleaned, although we doubted it. And when he did, finally, agree to send a cleaning crew to address the problem, one worker gave us a puzzled look when we said the host assured us the house was cleaned by her the previous week. She admitted she had not been there. The host even told us, previously, he had been in the rental the prior week. It's evident what actually occurred. Instead of having the house professionally cleaned, he attempted to clean it and did a sloppy job, evidenced by the exposed cleaning supplies, the cat "pooper scooper,” cat litter, and various cat toys. Obviously, we were not told the truth about the professional cleaning process. Dirty, streaked windows and cobwebs attested to this fact. While the host had a crew attempt to eliminate the cat urine odor, it was present our entire visit. Bleach helped mask the smell for a few hours, but the odor soon returned, despite the cleaning crew's best efforts. In the end, we could not use the bathroom off the kitchen, although the odor lingered. This made our trip miserable. Also, worth noting, the furniture in the living and dining rooms the host provides on the website is NOT what’s in the house. A sofa, two chairs, and a dining table have been curiously removed and replaced with cheaper furniture, but you wouldn't know it from the photos. On another note, wooden steps outside, leading to the dock, are a hazard. Neglect has caused them to be dangerously insecure -- an accident waiting to happen. Finally, the host did not get in touch with us the last 10 days of our stay, despite a powerful storm wreaking havoc in the area. We were left without any instructions, concerning our departure. Sadly, we would warn prospective renters to avoid this house. While the house is charming and Goose Creek lovely, it’s not worth the anguish of dealing with an uncooperative and untruthful host.
