Great location, but not what i expected

Great location. Community amenities are not worth the 125 price tag. The air conditioning had to be set to 75 or it doesn't work. Very uncomfortable.

The house was cozy and a great view of the canal. I like how they had a bathtub and shower with a sliding door and many cabinets and space for things.

For the one day we spent there, it was ok.... Needs to be updated as well as telling the cleaning people they need to do a better job. Water heater did not work and we were sent to another property. That property as well needs to be updated. That property had an air filter that looked like it was not changed for a very long time. We went to the store and bought a replacement as well as cleaned the air vent. Both properties were owned by the same person.

Venture out is more of a retirement community than a family resort. The location is ideal and the house was well appointed

Property is outdated. Furniture is old, smelly and on the verge of breaking. We had no hot water, slightly warm at best. Went to use the washer and it looked like it hadn't been used for some time. It was dirty inside and it didn't work. Checked breakers but nothing. Outside was dirty, cracked vinyl, no dock bumpers or fenders. Just the concrete slab and cletes. The area was perfect, people were fine but the property was disappointing.
