Not really. We tried to check in early and was told they had to check to see if it was cleaned and inspected. There was no one in the unit at the time. We never got a call to say if we could or not.

Response from VrboOwner on Mar 5, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the frustration regarding the early check-in request. Early check-in can sometimes be possible, but it does depend on our cleaning and inspection team confirming the home is fully ready for the next guests. Unfortunately, we aren’t always able to guarantee or confirm early arrivals. We appreciate you bringing the communication issue to our attention, as we’re always looking for ways to improve the experience for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us. Warm regards, The Bluescape Vacation Rentals Team

Great home and neighborhood

The Blue Lobster Lodge in Venture Out on Cudjoe Key, was a lovely home. Plenty of room for the 6 of us, great appliances, lots of supplies for the kitchen and bedding, etc. the home was also extremely clean.The only drawbacks were the water faucet in the bathroom shower, should be replaced, and I also felt like there was an excessive amount of “paperwork” to fill out in orderTo stay there. I have a collection of over 20 emails that either give me info, ask for info (some of which I supplied multiple times) and contracts that were signed. I would still do ably stay there again though , it was worth it.
