My wife and I had a great 3 night stay. The listing was as-advertised and we had a truly relaxing time. Great dining options within a short drive and a ton of amenities at Venture Out. We look forward to staying here again.

A perfect place

The place looks much more beautiful then in pictures, it’s directly on the water with private dock. It’s a little cottage beautifully decorated, in a gated community with plenty to do and wonderful restaurants around. We’ll come back every month!

Amazing stay!

We had such an amazing few days! The house was great, we love Venture Out resort! We didn’t rent a boat this time, but the fishing from the dock was great. We caught enough Snapper to make fish tacos one evening and we were able to filet them right on the dock and the massive Tarpon loved the scraps we threw to them and they put on a show!

The view you've always dreamed about!

Had an incredible stay at this beautiful rental in Cudjoe Key! My parents from Texas along with my husband and myself had such a great time here. To walk out of our bedroom and see the incredible view of the water was truly amazing! It's something that you always have dreamt of if you have never lived by the ocean! The location of this was perfect as it sat towards the end of the keys and was only a short drive to Key West! You have the best of both worlds.... quiet relaxation of the home and resort and the hustle bustle of Key West only a short drive away.! We were too busy to take advantage of the resort amenities but they seemed very nice! There were a few things that we we let the owners know about and they responded immediately letting us know they would fix them in the future! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!home!

This really fit our interests—my son loves fishing and we fished right off the dock every night. First he was catching just small snapper but we started chumming and bigger fish started showing up—we saw eight tarpon at one point. The green lights in the water were particularly cool. The last night we were there there was a thunder and lightening storm and you could see the tarpon in the water from inside the house. The Venture Out does change you on arrival, but you get to partake in all the activities (like bingo and yoga) as well as the pool. The rental also had two single kayaks and one paddleboard. We had an amazing time here. People were very friendly and it was close to two really good restaurants—the Bent Prop and Square Grouper—which I highly recommend. We were only about 1/2 hour from the craziness of Key West and we visited Bahia Honda park for some sandy beach/snorkeling. The location of this rental can’t be beat and I highly recommend it if you like to keep things relaxed but want to be close to activities if the mood strikes you.

MDW Getaway!

Emerald Seas was everything we wanted for our Memorial Day weekend getaway with our friends! We brought our boat so the location was perfect. Shawn (the host) was very responsive and even helped us with fishing/snorkeling recommendations for our day on the boat. The house was very clean and the deck has a beautiful view of the water. The house was stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were impressed by all of the nice details (ex. kitchen utensils, champagne glasses, beach towels, and even candles throughout the house) We look forward to our next visit. We were sad to leave!

Cozy spot on the water

This rental was just perfect for a quick getaway. It is newly renovated and I was so pleased. The kitchen was stocked with all the supplies I needed to make meals for my family. The bathroom has shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. TV's in every room, a grill and a fire pit. The unit has a green light in water that attracts fish and my boys had a blast fishing at night. Excellent communication with the owner of the unit. I have stayed in many VRBO locations and this is in my top 5.

Wonderful Vacation!

This house and location were PERFECT for my family! We brought our own boat which is a must for us and it was so nice that we were able to keep the boat in the water right at the back porch area. The check in process at the gate area was super easy and the people were super nice! The house was spotless clean, had everything we needed and plenty room for myself, my husband and our two kids (3,9). The living room area was my favorite because of the glass doors and windows! Always a beautiful view. It does get warm-ish in the livingroom area but that’s to be expected because of that, but it was never uncomfortable. The bathrooms and Bedroom ALWAYS stayed cold no matter what so that’s all that really mattered! We will be staying here again in the future for sure!! 10/10 great place to stay!!

The Perfect Place for a Magical Stay in the Keys!

This was absolutely the perfect space for my husband, 17-yr. old son, and I to stay during our time in the Florida Keys! Immaculate, beautifully decorated, and with all the amenities to make our time here so relaxing and enjoyable! The deck was perfect for enjoying the gorgeous sunrises and beautiful starry nights. We saw more amazing variety of marine life from the dock here than on our snorkeling excursions, and the LED lights in the water made viewing the fish at night a unique experience! We enjoyed some beautiful evenings at the resort pool with the view of the ocean, palm trees, and pool lights creating the perfect ambiance. The beds were comfortable and the well-stocked kitchen and washer and dryer were very helpful. We had plenty of everything we needed to make our stay pleasant and easy - fresh towels, linens, beach towels & bag, shampoo & conditioner, body wash, etc. Shawn and Cindy were excellent hosts and so quick to respond to our messages! Thank you so much for a wonderful week's stay while we were in the Keys!
