Cons: house was not clean when we got there. All flat surfaces had to be wiped off. The fans and light fixtures are filthy. As well as all the artificial flowers and there's a lot. The popcorn machine and accessories were full of popcorn and oil. Had not been cleaned in who knows how long. The entire property needs paint and decluttering. Including the yard. ##### Karin H.

Easy to get to. Lots of room and set up good. Pool is nice. Owner very on top of things if you have an issue. Only downside for us was there are no local stations and news, ABC,CBS or NBC available on the TV to keep up on what is going on nearby or worldwide. Also would like to have a king size bed. ##### Debra W. Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lona C.

The house was just as we expected and we didn't have any surprises. The home is well kept and clean. The pool looked great and was warm with the pool heat when we arrived. We just stayed two nights...wish we had been able to stay longer and enjoy it. The movie movie was wonderful!!! It was just what we needed after a long day of traveling! Daphne labeled lots in the house which is helpful. We'd recommend continuing that labeling with the light switches. Would definitely stay again!! ##### Dave H.

We did enjoy our stay at “The Rustic Retreat”. That being said we feel that many things could have been addressed to make our stay better. Fix its: Rusty nail board in fire pit area, broken latches on screen house, broken stove fan on kitchen stove, flood lights in pool area have a short in them, nonfunctional tiki lights. Things that desperately need upgrading: Paint around pool in pool area, new cushions everywhere outside, GAS grill( not charcoal), Little things that would be appreciated by renters: Kleenex available, garbage cans hidden around side of house, more than 1 bathroom hand towel for both baths, hooks for bath towels in bathrooms. Declutterring throughout the entire house. Too much random decor! ##### Robin G. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sherry D. Apr 8, 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### College visit Property was not in the best condition and needed TLC. The photos were misleading. Broken doors, fencing gate broken, lanai was dirty and screens torn. Sliding glass screen frame broken and bo screen.inside furniture broken, the beds in the two bedrooms unconfortable. Master bedroom was fine. Switchs didnt work for liggt and had to enter and leave in the dark. Pool had dirt in the bottom. Septic smell for pump system and could not sit by the fire. Found dirty laundry under the beds. When i mentioned these things to the host she said she was going ro repair in the spring so she knew they were an issue while renting it out without disclosure. ##### Sherry D.

We all enjoyed the theater room and pool. The house is very clean and equipped with just about anything you might need when you're away from home. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood close to restaurants and shopping. We travel to a nearby doctor for our son at least once a year and our kids have already requested that we book this house on our next trip. Highly recommend! ##### Jennifer H.

The bedroom set up worked out great and our girls loved being in the same room with their own beds. Everyone had a blast playing in the pool and all the accessories that were available (floats, noodles, etc.) The theater room was perfect for some takeout, snacks, and some wholesome family time. The location itself was easily accessible to food, stores, and only a short drive to the activities we had planned while we stayed. ##### MELINDA K.

Rented this place to attend my niece’s destination wedding near the house. The grandkids had a blast in the pool. Actually we all had a great time. The only thing I suggest is for the master bath toilet seat to be replaced and the pool area deck needs a bit of TLC. Overall, the house was very clean and well equipped and we all enjoyed our stay and commodities. Thank you. ##### Maria Antonia P. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeffrey C.

We really enjoy the theater seats at the end of a day of outdoor activities. The beds are nice, and the kitchen is well stocked. The appliances are all modern. When the water softener broke, Daphne answered the phone immediately and had a crew replacing it within two hours. By the time we came home that day it was up and running. We will stay here again next year! ##### Jeffrey C. Stayed 15 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### joan m.

The house was very clean and tidy when we arrived, and it was certainly big enough to fit our needs – especially when family came to visit. We enjoyed the heated pool and the quiet neighborhood. Visiting family enjoyed the theater room with comfortable chairs and large screen TV. The location was good – close to a number of hiking trails, nature preserves, parks, restaurants and a variety of beaches. Daphne & Fritz were incredible, premier hosts, going out of their way to take care of things when needs arose. They also went above and beyond with kindness and understanding when we experienced an unexpected loss of a family member shortly after our arrival. Daphne & Fritz were very accommodating and adjusted accordingly. We would highly recommend a stay at the Rustic Retreat and would not hesitate to book again. ##### joan m.

The pool was a wonderful place for our family to relax and gather and enjoy each other. We paid to have the pool heated and it was well worth it. The home had all the necessary essentials for our stay. We were excited to see the beach gear that included a wagon! We had a wonderful day at Cocoa Beach and the umbrellas, cooler and beach chairs were perfect. We didn't spend much time in the theatre room, but we had too much to do while we were in Florida. We highly recommend this home and hope to return in the future. ##### Mary S. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Renee G.

The movie room and pool were the highlights of the home. Daphne, our hostess, was kind, generous, and always available if we needed something. We're definitely going back. ##### Tracy R.
