Great family and friends vacation spot.

We loved the house and area. Excellent view you cannot beat. Very clean rental. All basic amenities are there waiting on you. HOA keeps resort looking beautiful. We loved the pool. Loved the pickle ball court and had a blast learning Bocce ball. This area was not overcrowded. Cudjoe key was perfect for a quiet time with family. Close enough to visit key West for the day. Perfect week.

Great view

The view is great, kitchen was well stocked, the gas grille worked great. Everything was as expected. The master bed could have been a little softer for my and my wife’s taste but no mattress pleases everyone. Overall great experience.

Oceanfront RV/mobile home park

I wish the listing for this home would have mentioned this is a mobile home trailer on stilts located in a mobile home/RV park. It's pretty evident this home sustained hurricane/water damage and has been remodeled to some degree but still needs serious help. In the side bedroom there is a door that leads to no where that didn't shut or lock properly. It had been extremely rainy and windy before and during our stay, which lead to extreme dampness at this door and even some mold. In fact, upon entering the home, I was shocked at the overwhelming smell of mold/mildew. Honestly, if this wasn't Christmas week when all other properties are booked, I NEVER wouldve stayed here. We opened up all the windows and We also bought plug in air fresheners and bleach cleaner to clean up the mold, which did help with the smell. We were able to make it work for our week stay. Also, the beds in this side bedroom are basically cots. There is no headboard and they are extremely flimsy. The hot water heater needs updated/replaced. We were a family of four, and when taking showers to head out for the evening, every time we ran out of hot water. It also wouldve been nice to know about all the rules this park has. For example, only one vehicle can be parked at the trailer. You cannot walk your dog anywhere in the park. You have to go outside of the park, about a 10 min walk. For the price of this property, Ive stayed at nicer HOMES in the Keys and never wouldve paid this for a trailer

Great house and dockage!

House was very nice, clean, spacious enough for two couples, and had plenty of space along the bulkhead for a boat larger than ours. It was a perfect house for just the two of us and our dog.

We never made it

Unfortunately we did not make it to this home. A hurricane was expected to hit Florida, the problem is the forecast is never accurate so you don’t know where/ when the hurricane is going to hit. The other Problem is we had to drive through south Florida to get to the keys obviously and because of the unpredictable hurricane we couldn’t. The property manager did offer to let us check in and stay for the following week but we couldn’t make that happen. After we told him that we couldn’t he hung up on us a few times and refused to work with us about a refund or anything. So as much as I’d like to give this an accurate review I can’t. And I wouldn’t have even written one at all but the property manager has decided 6 months later to write a review on me as a guest and I’d like to see it. Hopefully if you book this property you’ll have a better experience, I’m sure the house is lovely.

Excellent place to stay for exploring the Lower Keys. Property was as described, and the whole resort was nice; everyone was friendly. Great pool, hot tub, pickleball/tennis courts, and all you need for your boating activities. 30 minutes from Key West, and the Squared Grouper restaurant is a must. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful family get away w adult children

We had 6 adults in our party and didn't spend much time at the property itself. Conveniently located to travel up and down the keys. Well stocked kitchen. Only complaints were deck seating had 4 chairs and diningroom had 5 chairs so sitting together to dine or enjoy the deck was a little difficult. Also 2nd bedroom with trundle bed, do not recommend used as king, butts fell through crack all night and if turn other way bed isn't long enough.

Amazing view!

The view is what makes this property special!! The home was clean and worked well for the 4 of us. My boys enjoyed fishing from the sea wall, catching bonnet head and nurse sharks. The community is quiet and friendly, and the amenities are wonderful at the resort. We had friendly neighbors, but there is no privacy from them. Our previous rentals in the keys have been much more private, so we did miss that. The kitchen is lacking in some basic items such as a cutting board. Also the outdoor seating underneath the home was a huge disappointment. The top deck gets very hot during the day, so we spent a lot of time under the house the escape the sun and fish. Some comfortable seating here would have made our experience SO much better.

Great location and great property

Great property at a great location. Had no problem keeping our 25’ boat behind the home. With the large marine balls provided - we slept well. Venture Out was much kinder than reviews let on - with our dogs, checking in, etc. Property is as described - perfect for a week of boating in the lower keys. Master bed was comfortable and master shower had amazing pressure. Kitchen cookware could use an upgrade and overall home would benefit from a good deep cleaning. Communication and property manager were on point, responsive, and available! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Fantastic View

The unit has been remodeled since our last stay and was nicely done; nice bathrooms, kitchen island, super great fridge, ceiling fans, upgraded sinks & toilets; really nice. The mooring balls are really great for docking the boat, sooo much better than the mooring whips. We would have liked more outdoor furniture on the bottom deck because it’s shaded whereas the top deck is too sunny/hot. The trundle bed in the guest bedroom is not comfortable and did not work very well. I’m sure a queen bed would fit in there and would be so very much more comfortable for a couple. Some of the slats on the top deck were loose and moving side to side in the wind. There was 6 of us staying, four adults and two adult children and two dogs. We had plenty of space, never felt crowded. Would highly recommend this unit, you will not be disappointed! I know we will be returning!

Amazing View, Family Friendly !

We had the best time with our family staying here for a week. The views the house has to offer are absolutely incredible! The boat access is so convenient- everything you need is right there to enjoy endless diving, fishing and sand bar action. We hope to be back in the future!

Open water fun

Our family of 6 had a great stay. Open water views, catching fish off the dock, easy boats docking, bait freezer at the house, fun pool and lagoon. The house had everything we needed. There was an issue with the A/C, where it would’n’t quite keep up with the Keys heat, but it was resolved quickly by the property manager calling the HVAC company. We’ve stayed here before, and I’m sure we’ll stay here again!

Great location, clean

This house is in a great location in the Venture Out community. It is close to the entrance if you have a dog to walk and also close to the marina and main channel if you have a boat like I did. Trailer storage is $70 per week at VO, but I have an 18' boat so your experience may differ. The owner is responsive to needs (had a bedding issue). Were it my house I would want newer pillows, new pots/pans (they are like ones you would have in your first apartment), a vacuum cleaner (the cheap broom does not cut it) and blinds for the water/east facing windows. The view is awesome, but the sun will blind you for a few hours each morning. I would also get a spray nozzle on the hose to save water. Finally, a shower caddie in the master bath would go a long way towards convenience instead of keeping things on the floor, or reaching out to the shelf over the toilet. I was going to email the owner about the dock being in disrepair (missing cleats, missing or loose vertical pilings, etc), but some nice guys showed up on my second to last day to fix. Before that on the windy/wavy days I was constantly monitoring the boat to try to keep off the shelf on the sea wall. PS) I saw no bugs whatsoever in the house. It was very clean.

renovations incomplete

The boat dock lacked protection of the boat to concrete seawall. There were no pilings. This made it hard to protect the boat from the seawall. There was only one cleat to tie the boat up to. We had to carry off of the porch upstairs the hurricane shutters that had been removed from the residence during renovations and put them downstairs in the yard so that the young children would not get hurt. Two attempts to contact the Owner with no reply.

Great view!

The view from this property was AMAZING! We easily placed a 26' boat right outside and had no issues even with 25mph winds some days! There were a few finishing touches that haven't been finished up (trim missing, plywood exposed, etc) but none of that had an impact on our trip. Overall the house was perfect for 4 adults and 1 dog. I recommend knowing the Venture Out neighborhood rules about dogs before arrival. The only downfall was the trundle bed, which made noise when getting in and out as well as turning over, but it didn't bother us enough to make a difference. We would definitely stay again!
