Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
The house was in a great location and everything was very clean and tidy. The host was extremely rude and argumentative. She truly ruined parts of our trip with her poor attitude.
We had such an amazing time! We felt very welcomed and the place was so nice and sweet and laid back. Having security there 24 hours a day 7 days a week was a nice perk and the pool and hot tub were Amazing. The condo itself could not have been cuter, and the location right there on the channel was perfect for sunrises and sunsets. We are already trying to figure out when we can get back down there!
Great home with fishing right outside the door, manatee in the canal in front of home all night one night. Very clean home with everything you need. Melanie was great to work with.
Plenty of room for a family of 4 ( includes 2 teens). Well stocked kitchen and very clean. The best was catching fish right off the back of the house. We look forward to planning a return trip.
Spent a wonderful week here with our teen daughter. Loved having the option of riding bikes down to the pool. The location was perfect, right between Key West and Marathon Key. We found fun adventures within a short drive each day. Also enjoyed getting to know other people who were staying in the gated community resort! We’d love to come back!
The house was perfect! Very tastefully decorated and comfortable. Beach towels and beach chairs, fins and snorkels are ready to go!! Gated community and Security in the neighborhood made us feel safe. Pool and hot tub are GREAT! The canal was so relaxing. Small grocery store and boat ramp and dockage available in the neighborhood.Thoroughly enjoyed the trip! I’m going back!
Great location in Cudjoe Key with great amenities!
The location was great for our family, who wanted to see more than Key West. Friendly staff at Venture Out, and nice, quiet community. Really enjoyed our time!
Property was well stocked with everything you need. Great location. Only minor thing was had to fill out same paperwork 2-3 times when checking in because they didn’t have it… assuming it was a communication issue between host and security. All in all I would highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay. This house is incredibly clean, modern and everything you need for a stay in the keys. The location fit our needs perfectly. We loved having the marina on site, the opportunity to ride bikes through the community, swim and to simply enjoy the outdoors in a secure community. We would absolutely stay again.
We really enjoyed our stay on Cudjoe Key and particularly the location of this house in Venture Out. It was well appointed, clean, and comfortable with a nice view of the canal and a short walk to bigger water views.
I don't have enough space to write the things I loved about this stay!! The house is perfect. Literally. The bathroom is adorable. The shower is awesome, the beds are PHENOMENAL!!! The views are amazing, the resort is perfect. I just loved everything. The couch was comfy, the dock box was full of stuff to use like snorkels and masks and noodles, etc. Thanks so much, Melanie. You've done a great job on your home. :)
Amazing stay. Right in the end of a canal. Spent so much time outside. Windy during our stay, but sunrise was awesome. Clean. Pictures are exactly on point. Will stay again if we go to the area. Thanks!
Beautiful updated property! We loved the location and were pleasantly surprised at how well equipped the kitchen was! Mel was great and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and always responded quickly to our questions! Highly recommend and looking forward to returning!
Everything was smooth sailing from booking on through to arrival - rental was very clean, equipped with everything we needed. Venture Out community has lots to do and a great vibe. Thanks for an awesome vacation in the Lower Keys. Only regret was that we only had a few days to spend, hope to come back soon!
Everything was perfect, the house was beautiful and well stocked. We even saw two manatees hang out right in front of the house for about an hour! The location is great and the host was extremely helpful.
Side note, the Square Grouper restaurant, which is just down the road, was one of the best places we ate in the Keys!
The house was emmaculate and a great central location for trips to Key West and Islamorada for the week. The beds were very comfortable and the space was very homey...we've stayed in many VRBO rentals, and this was the best appointed kitchen we've experienced from a K-pod and a drip coffee maker to an airfryer. Though we never grilled, the outdoor spaces on both levels were very nice, and we appreciated the umbrella and beach chairs for our day in Zachary Taylor.
My husband and I (70+) enjoyed our stay in this unit. A perfect location and very clean. Due to travel delays, we arrived around 11pm and I needed a question answered and Melanie was quick to respond. Enjoyed riding bikes and walks to the pool.
