Great Getaway

My husband, son (17) and I really enjoyed our stay. The Venture Out community was quiet, relaxing and offered a lot of activities. We loved being right on the water and being able to fish. Its a great location. There is a lot of great things to do that are near by. We went to Bahia State Park (Loggerhead Beach), kayaking off of Niles Road Beach and Key West. We enjoyed mini golfing down the road, too. Overall, this was a great stay.

Great Spot To Stay

Cudjoe Key was a great spot to stay. The town had a more relaxed feel then some others. The house served us well. The kitchen could be better stocked, as we cooked our dinners there most nights, but overall, it was great.

About the host

Hosted by Robin Miles

I bought this cottage after my divorce and rented it until my kids graduated High School in Connecticut. Now it is my permanent residence and I mostly rent it in the winter months when I stay in St. Augustine or travel in my RV.
I used to camp in the Keys with my parents when I was a kid. I remember a lot of these canals being cut and actually drove over the old 7 mile bridge. Now my sisters and I have places here in Venture Out and it is our go-to destination to be with family and relax.

Why they chose this property

I like that Venture Out is a gated community that offers so many amenities. Being at MM23 also makes it an easy ride to get to Key West and all the action, but the property is so relaxing it's hard to pull yourself away.

What makes this property unique

Everyone has their favorite spots in Venture Out, but what I like about 162 is being at the end of a canal and having an open water view. I can watch all the boats coming in and out. It is an active wide canal and fun watching boaters heading in or out for the day.
If your bringing a boat it is an easy turnaround to dock on the wide canal and you don't have to deal with seaweed that can be traped at the end of the canal.
This cottage being my actual home brings me here often to check on things and keep the property well maintained and stocked with items I would actually be looking for.
