The property needed a deep clean, dirty AC grills, etc. space needs to be updated. It served us well as a "motel" space, but lacked the upkeep and quality for a vacation space.

Disappointing. We love Venture Out, arrived on Friday to trench on the right side of the unit. Saturday and Sunday was nice, enjoyed the porch overlooking canal. Monday workers showed up worked on trench, filled it in and starting digging on left side. Using an excavator, saws etc we could not sit outside. Hard to even have a conversation inside. This went on all week. They finished the trenching and paved on Thursday. Terrible!I notified host on Tuesday and she came over to apologize, very nice lady. I did list discrepancies for her; master bath toilet was not safe to use, one bolt to floor was missing and floor is rotting giving way when you sit down. The hall bathroom toilet had floor issues as well. Master bath sink faucet sprayed water sideways. The porch roof leaks severely during rain leaving puddles on porch. I had to continuously use mop. We could not enjoy rear patio area due to construction. I did report that the large concrete picnic table was crumbling and dangerous. Grill was filthy so we didn’t use it. I would think VRBO has a list of standards for owners to follow. We had to use a casserole dish to mix pancake batter, no bowl larger than a small cereal bowl. The unit needs upkeep and repairs, bathroom floor repairs and living room window replacement, could not see due to seal being broken, glass fogged. Host returned 10% for our trouble, said manager was going to stop by and return our park user fee 125 or so, guy never showed. Feel like I threw 2000 away!

Great location. Community amenities are not worth the 125 price tag. The air conditioning had to be set to 75 or it doesn't work. Very uncomfortable.
