Our home is a bungalow with cathedral ceilings. It is spacious and sparkling clean. Our home is #655 at Venture Out on Cudjoe Key. (A 24-hour gated community).

We have a light and bright two bedroom, one bath cottage which is a tropical paradise. We have wood floors and tropical decor. The roomy living room has a TV with streaming YouTube TV and Roku, a comfy sofa (which can also sleep 2 people with a memory foam topper on top of the mattress for extra comfort) & a comfy additional sofa. Each room is light and bright and always sparkling clean. Our home is obviously equipped with a/c to keep you comfortable & cool. We have WIFI in our home so you can remain 'connected' to the world while enjoying paradise!

Adjacent to the living room is the large fully equipped eat in kitchen. There’s a table for 4 with 2 extra chairs in the nearby closet. People always end up in the kitchen! There's lots of light so it's a great place to be! Fully stocked with everything you'd be looking for on vacation including dishes, wine glasses, all the pots and pans you need, coffee maker, keurig, blender, toaster and MORE.

The master bedroom has a KING size bed, lots of storage space and TV with YouTube Live TV & Roku.

We're provided lots of fluffy new cotton towels in the bathroom.

The second bedroom has a twin trundle, when the two twin beds are side by side it's like another King Size Bed and TV with Roku & streaming YouTube Live TV.

We have a grill in our backyard along with cement patio furniture for you to enjoy the beautiful keys weather. The front porch has a large deck, seating for 6. You can enjoy the sunrise and your morning coffee, family dinners and evening cocktails!

Bring your boat! We are on a dry lot but there is no charge for launching in at the Venture Out Marina, your boat can be stored in the 'overflow' lot for a small fee ($5-10 day subject to first come first serve availability). Conveniently located near the marina, picnic area, pool, tennis and rec hall. The Florida Keys have some of the best fishing in the world! (Boat and trailer parking is an additional daily charge by the park.) It is also a great spot for Kayaks. Take your choice to relax in the heated Olympic size salt water pool, hot tub or open Atlantic swimming area all nearby. You can fish from our open water areas. There is a big TIKI HUT on the open water where picnicking is perfect!

Unfortunately due to some bad experiences pets are no longer allowed.

OUR HOME IS NO SMOKING. Smoking outside is obviously permitted.

The GATED COMMUNITY we own in is AWESOME & a very friendly place to stay & enjoy. The amenities include: 24 hour security, Lighted tennis courts (2 rackets available at the house) Olympic-sized heated pool, kiddie pool, spa Jacuzzi, ping pong, bocce ball courts (set of bocce balls in the closet), pickle ball, lighted basketball court, children's playground, pool table, darts, Marina complete with 2 ramps, gas, store, ATM and fish cleaning station, boat trailer parking onsite, open water picnic areas, ocean front tiki hut, lending library, post office - and MORE - ALL IN A GATED COMMUNITY with a mixture of RV sites and manufactured homes where you can feel safe and secure.

We're only 19 miles from Key West, but do not think you HAVE to go anywhere - lay by the HUGE POOL right on the OPEN WATER and watch the elegant seagulls float overhead as the palms sway. Sun yourself and read a good book and simply relax! Plunge into the BIG JACUZZI and soak your troubles away. Or spend some time with someone you love - holding hands and watching the herons fishing along the waterside! And you do not even have to get in your car to do any of these!

Adventure beyond the gates for a bite to eat at some of Florida Key's favorite restaurants such as, Square Grouper, Morning Joint, The Bent Prop, Mangrove Mamas, Kiki's Sandbar or Boondocks Draft house and Miniature Golf course, all within a 10 minute drive. Or head a little further to Key West for even more fun only 20 minutes away! What are You waiting for??? Send an email and we'll fill you in on any of your questions to make certain your family and friends are going to have a great vacation getaway in the Keys!

Make sure you check our availability calendar as it is updated after each reservation is placed. Plan it now, before someone else gets YOUR Place!

Our home has parking for one vehicle but extra may be able to be stored in the nearby overflow lot for an additional fee of $5-10/night subject to availability. FYI a full size pick up will not fit in the driveway (we fit a Titan) and will need to go in the overflow lot with a nightly charge. There is an additional one time fee of $125 payable to the community at the time of entrance which is separate from anything paid to me through Vrbo. Would be willing to book direct if asked for discounted rate. Contact me at five zero eight 826-six two seven one. My phone number is also on rental agreement.

Arrival time is 3:00 PM, Departure is 10:00 AM

Great place to stay in the keys!
This is a very nice place to stay in the lower keys. Very comfortable with all of the amenities of being in your own home. The complex it's in has all the amenities, pool, tennis, laundry, etc. Great bridge fishing close by. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. This is the second time we have stayed at venture out on cudjoe key and have been very happy with it.

Not Bonaire Vacation
After having to make a quick change to our vacation, we found the house in Cudjoe Key. The location was perfect, we went to Key West twice, really enjoyed Sandspur Beach at Bahia Honda State Park. The beach is white powder sand, so beautiful. We enjoyed great food and snorkeling with Captain Hook. Thanks for sharing your home.

wonderful stay Cudjoe key
Thank you for the wonderful stay at Cudjoe key at Venture out. We definitely want to come back again! We visited Bahia Honda state park as you recommended and family had fun at the beach. Thank you for providing everything we would need to be comfortable from beach chairs to an iron. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I love the decorations and theme of the place, especially the fish decorations. The place was so cozy and decorated perfectly for the keys. Love the rooster decoration. Venture out was an awesome place to stay, we absolutely loved spending time at pool everyday and viewing the beautiful ocean. Property management is fantastic and helpful. We met lovely kind people here as well. Thank you once again. A. Hassan, New York

great location
From start to finish: upon arrival there was trash in the yard and all the grill and table items in back were strung about (could have been weather related?) walk into the house, very warm. kept all curtains and door closed to keep it as cool as possible the entire time there. first night hot water did not work. OWNER is and was fantastic and was able to have that fixed before the nights end on second night. Liked how everything is labeled so you don’t have to try every switch. the staff on the property were WONDERFUL. the boat ramp was great (easy) parking was good. location was great.

Had an amazing time! The hosts were very responsive and hospitable. The location was beautiful and perfect for our vacation. We were able to experience a gorgeous sunrise literally right outside our door. The house itself was homey and comfortable. We had everything we needed. I’d definitely stay there again .

The perfect birthday getaway!
My favorite vacation yet.. Kristine’s place was clean & very comfortable. It’s only 25 minutes down the coastline to Key West. We traveled all the way up to Bahia Honda for the beautiful beaches, to Key Largo, for our dinner. We spent the the rest of the week in Key West! Dante’s is a must! We had a great time! No problems at all, except we never found Spanish Main on the 1st try. Lol Thank you to Kristine for always being an email away! It was a great time!!!!
