Venture Out Cudjoe

Overall, had a great time and the Venture Out organization had everything well organized. The unit was older but did what we expected when we weren't on the water. Trailer storage was not ideal, due to the 2 vehicle limit. A few missed spots in cleanliness. Overall a good place. We would stay again!

Dirty and in need of maintenance

Could actually be a cute and lovely place to stay if anyone cared to clean it thoroughly and take care of some very basic maintenance. Floors dirty to the point you can’t walk around without shoes on… and let’s be honest we are in the keys we kind of want to kick off the work boots and enjoy some barefoot living. Huge emphasis on cleaning all dishes before you leave yet there was dirty dishes in the cabinets upon arrival. Bath towel had a long hair hanging from it. Blinds have stains all over them and most importantly for safety purposes exposed wires from an outlet on the back deck as well the lights did not work out there. I would personally never stay there again although it has potential. Also pretty tight quarters for just two of us. Most importantly just dirty and in need of some basic upgrades.

Idiots working security!

1500 characters is not enough to tell the whole story correctly. The unit I stayed was great, very clean and was described correctly in the listing. My host Jennifer was available to answer questions if I had them. I was very happy with the unit! My problem was with the two idiots working security. They were rude! When I went to check in, I was told that they didn't have any information on me. (Jennifer assured me when I spoke with her later that day that she had given then all the information they needed). Steve, which I found out is suppose to be the supervisor, felt for some reason he needed to raise his voice towards me while giving his welcome aboard speech. I asked about trailer parking and Steve said we don't have any. Jennifer told me about overflow parking available if needed. Steve didn't mention anything about overflow parking, just said we don't have any. To make a long story short, I went in and complained to the manager. He seemed concerned. I told him about the two security guards attitude. I asked him about trailer parking which my host told me was available, and if there wasn't, is there other trailer parking available which my host told me there was. He asked did they (the security idiots) give you a list of overflow parking available, I said no. He said let me go out and get you one. Again I was very happy with the unit and Jennifer as my host! What was disgusting was dealing with the two idiots at the front gate when I checked in.

Nice place

After reading the past reviews, we were a little concerned about what we may be walking into. After we arrived we realized that either the cleanliness issue mentioned in prior reviews were taken care of or were not picky/petty. We had no issues with the place whatsoever. If you’re looking for a 5star Taj Mahal place, this is not it. If you’re looking for a decent size place for 4 adults in a nice community then this is it.

Cudjoe Fun

Enjoyed our stay. The home was nice & comfortable for our group of 4 adults. Venture Out is a nice park, people were friendly as were the security staff. Location of house is convenient to entrance & short walk to awesome pool. Our contact Jennifer was in touch as needed & responded very quickly to a lighting issue. Ate at many great places nearby including No Name Pub, Boondocks, Kikis Sandbar, Boardwalk, Morning Joint, & Mangrove Mamas, & 2 times at our favorite Tonios Seafood Shack. Not alot to do in the area without driving but close 2 Key West. Overall a good option.

Cudjoe Key

When we checked in we were turned away at the gate because it was 2:00 and check in was 3:00. They wouldnt even let us sit by the pool. The manufactured home was in a good locaton and on a canal. It needed many repairs and deep cleaning. Window and door screens were ripped and towel rack was falling off the wall. I would not stay here again. We actually left 2 days early.

343 had good water pressure for the shower

Used this place as home base for other activities. Everything was fine. We installed a new air filter for the AC furnace as they had an extra one on standby. The Old one needed replaced. Community is clean. Ppl very nice. Amenities well kept. This unit could use some love here and there, perhaps a thorough deep cleaning but it was fine and comfortable to stay in It’s not fancy but we didn’t need or expect fancy. And We recommend it.

Florida Keys with friends

We stayed in Cudjoe key for 5 nightsat Venture Out properties. The place is very big but not overly crowded. The salt water pool was very refreshing. The only thing I wish we knew was that there was another fee we needed to pay when we checked in. I thought the payment we made to the owner of the property was all we needed to pay.
