Keys trip

First, you walk into the property through a bedroom. Stupid. The screen doors in the front and back kept falling off the tracks. 4 very old bath towels which meant washing constantly. The overall feel was that the place was old. Shower faucet in the one bathroom was ready to come off the wall. And the smell off the canal was the most disgusting smell - I can’t even describe it.

Nice House

Points lost for not a lot of necessary itemsOnly enough towels for 1 each, no spares The bed in the 2nd room was so high one guest couldn’t get into it, so slept on the sofa, but there was only a spare sheet and no quilt There was only the toilet roll on the holder 1 more, in each bathroom, tiny bottle of dish soap, no dishwashing tabs, (packet was empty)Found 1 tide pod & 1 dryer sheet!! Other than that it was well equipped & clean

Good fishing "home base"

Has a nice seawall that can accomodate about a 30 foot boat. Cleaning station for fish was nice also. Actual house unit was older, but nice. We really just used it for cooking our fish and sleeping. The main perks of this place is that it has a seawall on a protected canal to keep a boat, has good channel access to both the oceanside and gulf, and is clean. Marina with boat fuel and boat ramp is in Venture Out neighborhood just a few hundred feet away from this actual unit. Overall a good time.

Most enjoyable 4 night stay

The house was very clean and well stocked. The Venture Out subdivision was well maintained and secured via gate and manned security. Our mornings were relaxing sitting in screened porch overlooking the canal. The bayside tiki huts and views were relaxing. Breeze and full moon added to an excellent stay. Thank you!

Family Vacation

Perfect for a family of 4 with two teens. Could easily accommodate a boat on the dock right outside the door. Very secure and safe resort. Great community pool. Could use some small improvements to doors, fixtures and lighting. Beds were comfortable and plenty of linens.

Nice place

After reading the past reviews, we were a little concerned about what we may be walking into. After we arrived we realized that either the cleanliness issue mentioned in prior reviews were taken care of or were not picky/petty. We had no issues with the place whatsoever. If you’re looking for a 5star Taj Mahal place, this is not it. If you’re looking for a decent size place for 4 adults in a nice community then this is it.

The house was nice. The one bedroom was tight to get around in. The bed needed repairs but they sent a guy over to fix it. Overall it was a good location. Could use some updating but it was clean and kept us cool.

It’s sad

Starting with a good, the beds were clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean. But the house is sad. No one has done maintenance screens ripped chairs on the porch, broken no bath mats and outside of countertops. Everything is dusty. I wish I could show a picture of the air conditioning vent. It has years worth of dirt on it.
