Beautiful wish we could stay longer.

Communication with host was top tier, very accommodating. Home was clean, had everything we needed and more. Perfect place for docking our boat(the best we've had by far). We will definitely be coming back and hopefully for a longer stay.

Blue Mind #225 – 35’ Seawall at Venture OutWe had a wonderful stay at this charming and quaint spot—perfect for a couple. The location is fantastic, offering easy access to the water, great fishing, and ideal conditions for lobstering. While the home is a bit dated, it’s well-kept and comfortable. The A/C could use a slight tune-up, as it gets a bit warm in the late afternoon to early evening, but overall, we had a very enjoyable experience. We would definitely consider returning!

Nice spot!

Location is awesome. Half an hour from key West and Marathon. Gated community with very friendly staff, nice pool/hot tub, marina, tennis, pickle ball, basketball courts, and rec center with plenty of tables, dart boards, pool table, small library. The home itself fit our needs for a short stay, but could use some updating and repair to vinyl plank floors in kitchen. Would not hesitate To stay again as price was reasonable and location is great! Thank you.
