The location is wonderful! Loved sitting outside and watching the sunset. Very nice and heated community pool. My daughter loved this! The house was good. The bathroom could use an update but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.
Our stay at this unit was great!! With the ability to park a boat out back, we had all the ocean access we needed for diving and fishing. The house was clean and comfortable, and perfect for a get away!

Really enjoyed it. Ready on time and clean. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances. Towels were extra soft, and really nice TV’s. We would stay there again.

Great location. We went for a guys fishing trip. The marina was great and easy access to the ocean. It is a quite neighborhood. The space is tight but worked for us. We rented 3 units between 5 guys and each unit was clean.

We really enjoyed our stay at Venture Out. The location of the rental within the park is great. Unfortunately we didn't get to try the pool while we were there but it looked great. We loved the location on Cudjoe Key, close enough to Key West if you want to visit but far enough away from the crowds. You are close to all sorts of activities. We can't wait to visit again, next time for a longer stay!

Pool finally got up and running and Sat. became great pool day. Property should have announced pool shutdown over multiple days.

kirk,
thank you for the review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately that closure of the pool was very unexpected so even the owners that were here were affected. Look forward to seeing you again.

We loved the property. There were a couple of maintenance things. The front door stuck a little when unlocking. The refrigerator door does not seal properly.
Great, property we will be back

Family trip
This was our first day at venture out. The resort was nice. The house we stayed in definitely needs some updates. There were a couple of things that were broken around the property. The bikes are very rusted and the handlebars are very hard to turn. I don’t know that I would really say it can sleep six people unless four of them are children. The communication with the property manager was fair at best. I received answers back on about 50% of my concerns. We would stay at venture out again, just not this particular property.

The house itself was very nice and met our expectations, with the exception of the fridge, which wasn’t cooling properly. However, that wasn’t a deal breaker. One of the deck steps was also loose, which could be a safety concern.What was truly frustrating—and not mentioned in the rental details—was the trailer parking situation. We’ve stayed at this property before and were previously able to park our boat trailer on-site without any issues. This time, however, we had to pay extra to park the trailer off-site, about 7 minutes away.This change is a deal breaker for us and would make us reconsider renting this property again.

Yasel,
Thank you for the feedback. A maint request has been completed on the 2 items mentioned. The trailer parking was stated on several emails you received prior to arrival. There has been VERY limited trailer parking over the last 2-3years to the point of none available over the weekends. Hope to see you again.

It was a wonderful stay. Quaint, enjoyable place and location. Pool and views amazing. My only suggestion would be to figure out/upgrade the air conditioning situation. It was unfortunate to see cardboard filling in open window spaces next to the air conditioner in more than one place. It became warm when it wouldn’t have if it was properly done.
Other than that simply a great little community. If you book just ask if they upgraded the cardboard boxes!
We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again. Happy Holidays.
