The unit was nice overall. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was clean and well maintained. The living room was comfortable also.The deadbolt did not work from the outside and it was hard to shut the front door. Sinks drained a little slow. All in all a good unit at a decent price.

We had the best time. We used all the amenities, best part was having our boat just a few feet from the back door. Everyone was super friendly.

Great location. We went for a guys fishing trip. The marina was great and easy access to the ocean. It is a quite neighborhood. The space is tight but worked for us. We rented 3 units between 5 guys and each unit was clean.

Quiet Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at Venture Out. The location of the rental within the park is great. Unfortunately we didn't get to try the pool while we were there but it looked great. We loved the location on Cudjoe Key, close enough to Key West if you want to visit but far enough away from the crowds. You are close to all sorts of activities. We can't wait to visit again, next time for a longer stay!

The home is really nice. It was clean. It has plenty of windows. With only blinds in them. Which lets lots of heat and light into the home. I ended up putting beach towels and sheets on the front and back doors to try and keep the home cool. The average afternoon temp was in the 80s inside the unit. And the host said not to lower the thermostat past 74 degrees or the unit would freeze up. She needs to upgrade to a new unit and ductwork. Both of the bedrooms were uncomfortably warm every night. The home is at the end of a canal in Venture Out resort. A dead end that trapped the smelly, stinky, rotting sargassum. And that sargassum was full of trash and dead fish and the Venture Out front desk said that’s just too bad…. They couldn’t move the sargassum due to federal regulation. I asked if they could not just have someone remove the litter and offal from the fish carcasses the fishermen just dumped into the water. It stunk so bad that the house smelled just like outside. (Thankfully they had a huge can of spray Lysol) The back patio was not usable because of the stench. I was under the impression that VRBO included all fees when renting thru them. Only to be told upon entry of the Venture Out property that there was a 120.00 resort fee. I knew nothing of this. The owner said she sent an email. I finally found the information under her profile. Which was way too late. So, no, it’s not true that all fees are disclosed upon rental agreement.

Family trip

This was our first day at venture out. The resort was nice. The house we stayed in definitely needs some updates. There were a couple of things that were broken around the property. The bikes are very rusted and the handlebars are very hard to turn. I don’t know that I would really say it can sleep six people unless four of them are children. The communication with the property manager was fair at best. I received answers back on about 50% of my concerns. We would stay at venture out again, just not this particular property.

The house itself was very nice and met our expectations, with the exception of the fridge, which wasn’t cooling properly. However, that wasn’t a deal breaker. One of the deck steps was also loose, which could be a safety concern.What was truly frustrating—and not mentioned in the rental details—was the trailer parking situation. We’ve stayed at this property before and were previously able to park our boat trailer on-site without any issues. This time, however, we had to pay extra to park the trailer off-site, about 7 minutes away.This change is a deal breaker for us and would make us reconsider renting this property again.

Yasel, Thank you for the feedback. A maint request has been completed on the 2 items mentioned. The trailer parking was stated on several emails you received prior to arrival. There has been VERY limited trailer parking over the last 2-3years to the point of none available over the weekends. Hope to see you again. WFR

It was a wonderful stay. Quaint, enjoyable place and location. Pool and views amazing. My only suggestion would be to figure out/upgrade the air conditioning situation. It was unfortunate to see cardboard filling in open window spaces next to the air conditioner in more than one place. It became warm when it wouldn’t have if it was properly done. Other than that simply a great little community. If you book just ask if they upgraded the cardboard boxes!
