About this property

Big Blue #230, Canal front - Venture Out

Welcome to BIG BLUE #230 in the Gorgeous Florida Keys!

Introducing this beautiful vacation home located in the serene Lower Keys, available for your spring to fall getaway. Nestled within the gated community of Venture Out, this property offers a wealth of amenities for a perfect sunny escape. Relax by the heated pool or enjoy a refreshing swim in the saltwater swimming lagoon. Engage in friendly competition with pool, ping pong, tennis, or pickleball. If you’re in the mood for some fun, gather your group for a game of bocce! Don’t worry if you forgot a book; there is a well-stocked library with plenty of options to choose from. For families, there’s a playground and a kiddie pool to keep the little ones entertained. Explore the scenic bike paths along the Overseas Highway with the four adult bikes provided.

With two bedrooms and two baths, this home comfortably accommodates up to six guests in a king bed, queen bed, and queen sleeper sofa. Situated on a 60' wide canal, you’ll have direct access to the water, with a 35' seawall dock perfect for your boat up to 32'. The dock features cleats, bumpers, a fish cleaning table, and a swim ladder for your convenience. Please ensure your boat fits tip to tip with the motor up within the 35' space. Guests will also have access to a storeroom equipped with a bait freezer and space for dive and fishing gear.

Enjoy the outdoors on the two covered decks—one overlooking the street and the other facing the tranquil canal. Additional seating is available under the home, and both upper and lower decks feature outdoor seating with a gas grill for your dining pleasure. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed for home-cooked meals, and smart TVs are available in both bedrooms and the living room. Stay connected with complimentary WiFi. Please note to adhere to the maximum occupancy of six guests as per Venture Out rules, and kindly request no pets or smoking on the premises. A three-night minimum stay is required, with a seven-night minimum during Lobster Season. We look forward to welcoming you to BIG BLUE #230 for an unforgettable Florida Keys experience!
We would like all potential guests to be aware that this home is located in a private and individually owned residential condominium and NOT A RESORT, therefore we ask that all guests treat our community as such.

Adventure beyond the gates for a bite to eat at some of Florida Key's favorite restaurants such as, Square Grouper, Morning Joint, The Bent Prop, Mangrove Mamas, Kiki's Sandbar or Boondocks Draft house and Miniature Golf course, all within a 10 minute drive. Or head a little further to Key West for even more fun only 20 minutes away! Nearby you have Bahia Honda State Park or tour the Civil War fort at Ft. Zachery Taylor Park in Key West. There’s amazing snorkeling on Looe Key. You may take a tour from just a couple of islands away.

Wonderful place!

The house was wonderful and perfect! Well stocked in the kitchen with cooking utensils and seasonings. Loved the community which felt really homey and welcoming. Great pool. There was a perfect spot for fishing right off the dock or at the point right on the water which was a 1 minute walk from the house. Really enjoyed our stay here.

Tidy & Comfortable on the water

The property is a nicely appointed home with everything one would need. Mornings and evenings were enjoyed overlooking the canal that comes off the Atlantic. It's a nice quiet neighborhood and an enjoyable place to walk. Well kept yards and homes, some personally fancied up. The owner was very easy to work with addressing all questions we had. It's a gated community that was very easy to work with and friendly. The restaurant, the Square Grouper, is just around to corner to the south. Key West and Hemingway's house are about 30-40 min to the south. Cudjoe Key is a very central location in the south Keys. We highly recommend a stay at Big Blue!

Perfect for family vacation on the water!

Great place on the water, close to fishing and diving; several boat rental services close by so you don’t have to trailer your own if you are coming from a long way or flying in. We (Family of 4) stayed for 5 days and spent most of the time on the water, with one quick evening trip to Key West for the sunset. Cudjoe Key is small and quiet but close enough to Big Pine Key which has everything you may need from groceries to restaurants. The Venture out community is an eclectic mix of homes, RV’s, trailers, that is all well maintained, well managed, and everyone was friendly (and quiet). The home has everything you need; the kitchen is well stocked, plenty of towels amd linens, fish cleaning table, bait freezer, BBQ pit, washer/dryer, etc., and it is very clean and new. The owners were very responsive to questions and check-in / out was easy. We hope to be returning!

Definitely return-able!

This was a great property for our vacation. The house was well-stocked, the beds were very comfortable, and the location was perfect. The garbage and recycling pick up schedule was a little confusing; they seemed to collect on additional days, but we made sure to get the trash out in time. We didn't use all the amenities of Venture Out, only the pool which was clean and refreshing. We had planned a lot of other activities and this was a great location for going to both Key West and Islamorada. The owners were very prompt in responding and accommodating when I asked to extend our stay. They sent me a list of things to do during our vacation, which I really appreciated. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. Thank you!

Home away from home

This was our 2nd visit to big blue. A family get together in paradise at a very comfortable, cozy home. Venture out has lots of amenities to enjoy and is close enough to both Key West and Marathon that you can take advantage of the world class fishing available there. Blue boasts a seawall on a deep water canal so you can bring your boat or rent one from nearby marinas to enjoy a day or several on the water. Blue is not just a rental condo, it's a home away from home.
