Great place to bring a boat

Beautiful location and view on the waterfront, also on a deep water canal with a great place to tie up your boat. Fresh water hose, bumpers on the dock for your boat. Easy access to the ocean. The house also had a main deck area, and a deck on the second floor. Living room and kitchen were adequate. The brooms and baths were small but doable. The house needs some work, and needs some small repairs. Rusty shower,, broken living room chair, etc. shower was not very clean, as well as pots and pans in the kitchen. Other than those small items that needed some care, I would recommend the house. I didn’t care for the neighborhood. Way too crowded for my taste. Too many people in the pool for me.

Beautiful Views Great Location

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was just as described. We have stayed in venture out many times before so we are very aware of the resort rules. If you have not stayed here before I would highly recommend reading through their rules. Their rules are fair, but it is very important to understand items such as vehicle parking and trailer parking. Really enjoyed the quick access to the main channel this house offers. Also nice to have a bait freezer available. The house was very clean and was well equipped this house could use, just a little bit of cosmetic updating but all in all a great place to stay.

Always great!

We visit the lower Keys every year. While we’ve stayed on other islands occasionally, we always come back to Cudjoe Key and Venture Out. We’ve stayed in Barbara’s unit at least twice and it always meets expectations. The bait freezer is a great asset and this time there were two coffee makers: one drip and one k-cup style. Plenty of linens and towels for our family of 6, and a clean, comfortable place to be.

Property has everything, pool, general store, fuel dock, Canal dock, club house, tennis courts and other courts, rock beach and is super clean and fun. If you see “Rob”, He is a 3’ white stork. I named him Rob because he got my bait off the fish cleaning table! Please feed him, he may have forgotten how to hunt after two weeks of non stop grunts!!!

Nice Rental in quiet gated community!

Great views made for relaxing week! Good communication with property owner. The additional $113 required at gate by resort is a turn off. We knew about it ahead of check-in, but we don't have a boat and only other amenities are the pool, so that's kind of a bummer to add that expense after paying for rental and other fees.

Lovely stilt home

The home was lovely and clean. Ruby, the onsite property manager, was great in getting us set up with bicycles so we could ride to the pool, because the unit did not have any. If I were to recommend any improvements, it would be to add a few extras like this - bikes, kayaks, fishing gear, travel coffee mugs, etc, since many other units have them. Overall, the house and location are great, and our family enjoyed our stay!
