We had a great time staying here while in the area wanting to see the Keys. It is exactly as listed. It was fun to sit out the back door in the morning and evening watching the birds and different fish. Fit my family of three comfortably but I do think amymore pople it would be a tight fit. The air conditioners keep it comfortable inside and there were bikes waiting for us when we got there.

Lovely Vacation!

This property was exactly what we were hoping for, a no-frills but very comfortable spot by the water in what is a really amazing resort community. Venture Out is a gem with great people, great facilities, and everything you could ask for for a week in the keys. We will definitely be back.

Update Air Conditioners

We were disappointed in the air conditioning as it was very warm during the day in the main room. We were able to sleep ok during the evening but would recommend better A/C. Location was great and lots of amenities, there is a boat ramp and saltwater swimming pool/jacuzzi.

Hey! This is the first I’m hearing about it, as I would have brought over extra fans for you. I don’t think this calls for a 3 star review since everything else was great, Not much we can do on a island in the middle of July , there are 4 ACs units in a this 2 bed house, sorry the main living room by the front and back porch door was warmer than the rest of the house, when the sun is blistering hot and over a 100° the best to do is keep the blinds closed and all doors closed, as you said night is better because the sun goes down! Hope this helps for your next stay at an island!

Great week

Was very nice to have the boat only feet away and a quick shot out to the reefs. A/C struggled a bit during the day but at night was great! Overall was very pleased with place. Venture out was also very convenient with a store and pool area for the kids to enjoy. Would stay again for sure.

Perfect fishing home!

We absolutely loved our stay with you! We actually look forward to planning our next trip down here and hopefully for a longer period of time! Accessibility to the Atlantic and to the gulf was so easy unlike on other keys were you have to navigate difficult channels or go extra long routes around. Everything was right there. We will be back, very soon!

Wonderful location with tons of amenities!

A cute little house right on the water.. nothing fancy but everything you will need for a perfect stay. Was traveling with my hubby and our two teen daughters so mirror space was a battle, advice, add a mirror to other bedroom or to family room, to help with that lol! Host was very responsive! Venture out is a cool little community and everyone is so very friendly! Will stay again! Thanks a bunch!

Peaceful

It had everything you needed and was close to stores and a half hour from Key West. A few suggestions, maybe a new grill, prune the palms on the east side as they made noise when it was windy while sleeping, replace the light bulb in the microwave for easier cooking and replace the broken mini blinds.

Keys Getaway

Enjoyed our stay. Definitely a Florida Keys vibe. Nice location and an easy drive daily to attend a 5 day music festival in Key West. Kitchen was used for breakfast and lunch every day and had plenty of the essentials needed for basic meals. Even took advantage of the gas grill for one meal. We are fairly low key and the resort area was clean and quiet which made it enjoyable. We made use of some of the amenities as well. If you read the rules and are respectful of the many other residents/guests you will have a great stay! We did!

Owner Saves Vacation

This property is dated, hot, and not the cleanest. It was dark and depressing. The curtains had to stay closed the entire time to try and maintain coolness. The owner was made aware of issues and immediately moved us.The other property was great. The owner saved the day and our vacation by allowing us to move to other property.

Family Vacation

This place is a very safe and fun gated community that we definitely enjoyed staying at. My kids loved being able to safely ride around the neighborhood just like they were at home. Everyone that worked there are super friendly, including the security guards at the front gate! We took full advantage of all the amenities that Venture Out had to offer. Our house was very cozy & had everything that we needed for our stay. Shawna was very pleasant & was very prompt in responding to any issues we had during our stay (which was super minor) All in all I would say this place is perfect if you are looking for an affordable getaway that is in a quite neighborhood that is literally minutes down the road from key west. We will definitely visit again.

More than you pay for 01/24

This property was better than advertised. I was shopping for a affordable place that I planned to just sleep at and fishermans paradise was so much more. This place screamed florida keys and was exactly what my wife and adult son and his girlfriend wanted. Everything worked perfectly and we all enjoyed the patio on the water from coffee in the morning, drinks in the afternoon to fishing whenever we wanted. Fishing poles were provided also. The resort pool is heated and fun. The restaurants nearby are very good as well. To the next guest that stays here the light switches are not exactly where you think they should be, lol. Perfect stay for my group.

Great host!

Overall this is a clean home in a safe community. When checking in we noticed the power was out to one of the rooms. The host was very responsive and diligent on getting things fixed, though it took 2 electricians over 2 days to finally get power back to the room the host was responsive the whole time and compensated us adequately for the inconvenience. If renting this home as a group know that you have to walk through the only bathroom to get to the main bedroom and can be a little inconvenient. I would absolutely recommend this rental and 1000% recommend this host.

Our Stay

Our stay on Cudjoe Key was definitely within our budget and close to Key West, which was our number one requirement. The checkin process with Venture Out was more than stated in the listing. We were charged $150 due to having 2 vehicles. While the inside was clean, there was a bit of a moldy smell. The floor is soft in numerous places, a few of the walls are bowed, and the ceiling in the queen size bedroom is detaching. This might be due to water damage(?) We were on Key West the majority of the time for a family member’s wedding, so we didn’t spend a lot of time at the property or use the amenities at Venture Out. Overall, your place fit our needs.

Venture Out

Stay was o.k., had no hot water (and not much cold) for about 24 hours leaving us no choice but to eat out first night. Would like at least a refund for $100.00 for dinner for 4. Place has unusual set-up with bathroom, can’t get into master if someone in there. Folks friendly, heated pool a plus. Great if you have a boat, we didn’t. Probably wouldn’t book again. Had to buy a pillow and pans to cook with. There’s were in bad shape and need replaced. I bought a pillow for saggy couch and left all.

Mary- obviously having no control over the water situation as things happen but I did have a emergency plumber come out and get it fixed immediately for you. Not sure why you had to go out to dinner because of the kitchen sink not running hot for a few hours. As that got fixed, I had brand new never ridden bikes dropped off for you , which you broke after 5 minutes of riding them. After speaking to my property manager she said there are NO new pots or pans in the house only the 2 sets we have bought 1/6/22. Did you not look at the pictures before booking to see that the bathroom is between the master and the kitchen- because the pictures are very accurate and detailed. You were full of complaints from the beginning. I try my absolute best to manage all my property’s and with 4.8 stars I think I do well. Sorry you had such a terrible experience ,as you “probably wouldn’t rent again” I probably would rent to you again either. Hope you find a better place in the Florida keys, have a great year .

A Jersey family with a love for sun and fishing so we decided to build our own hideaway!

Why they chose this property

We already have another property in Venture out that we absolutely adore but something was missing and that was being on the water so we thought this would be the perfect place to share with you!
