Needs deep cleaning and maintenance

We booked this property months in advance and added two extra nights because of a situation and no other options were available. It was not cleaned properly—floors felt dirty, bathroom had stains and foot marks, cabinets and knobs were dirty, and thick dust was present on fans and surfaces. AC vents were filthy, and no mop was provided to clean. The dock cleats were loose, bumpers were missing, and we had to tie our boat to a concrete table. Outdoor lights didn’t work, power outlets on the terrace were loose and unsafe, dryer took long to dry, dirty oven, no hot water at washer. Towels provided were old and stained—brought my own. I sent the host photo evidence, and her response was dismissive, she called me “nitpicky.” She claimed she would’ve sent a housekeeper, but I didn’t come here to supervise cleaning during my vacation—I expected the home to be ready and clean. Bed sheets clean and bed comfortably. Good location. Host response : Well, isn’t that why you came to go boating and I think you’re being very nitpicky but go ahead leave me whatever review and remember I will leave you a review as well. I was very accommodating to give you a very reduced rate to come a day early with your boat and also to let you stay another night. You never complained to me once while you were there, I would’ve had my housekeeper come over and address any of your concerns.

Keys trip

First, you walk into the property through a bedroom. Stupid. The screen doors in the front and back kept falling off the tracks. 4 very old bath towels which meant washing constantly. The overall feel was that the place was old. Shower faucet in the one bathroom was ready to come off the wall. And the smell off the canal was the most disgusting smell - I can’t even describe it.

Good fishing "home base"

Has a nice seawall that can accomodate about a 30 foot boat. Cleaning station for fish was nice also. Actual house unit was older, but nice. We really just used it for cooking our fish and sleeping. The main perks of this place is that it has a seawall on a protected canal to keep a boat, has good channel access to both the oceanside and gulf, and is clean. Marina with boat fuel and boat ramp is in Venture Out neighborhood just a few hundred feet away from this actual unit. Overall a good time.

Most enjoyable 4 night stay

The house was very clean and well stocked. The Venture Out subdivision was well maintained and secured via gate and manned security. Our mornings were relaxing sitting in screened porch overlooking the canal. The bayside tiki huts and views were relaxing. Breeze and full moon added to an excellent stay. Thank you!

Family Vacation

Perfect for a family of 4 with two teens. Could easily accommodate a boat on the dock right outside the door. Very secure and safe resort. Great community pool. Could use some small improvements to doors, fixtures and lighting. Beds were comfortable and plenty of linens.
