Keys trip

First, you walk into the property through a bedroom. Stupid. The screen doors in the front and back kept falling off the tracks. 4 very old bath towels which meant washing constantly. The overall feel was that the place was old. Shower faucet in the one bathroom was ready to come off the wall. And the smell off the canal was the most disgusting smell - I can’t even describe it.

Good, overall

I wasn't expecting a 140 resort fee due before proceeding past the gate guard. The gate guard's response to my puzzled look was, "You were aware of the resort fee, right?" The fee is likely (at least I hope) embedded in the TOS. Moving on. The property permits pets but walking one's dog is prohibited. The properties are so small that one must walk a dog. Knowing this property was on a canal with open water access, I was not surprised that it needed some TLC. I think, most folks rent this type of property for ocean activity, which would require near-constant TLC. We were permitted a late check-out. Thank you to the host.We would rent this property again.

Other than that it was well equipped & clean

Good fishing "home base"

Has a nice seawall that can accomodate about a 30 foot boat. Cleaning station for fish was nice also. Actual house unit was older, but nice. We really just used it for cooking our fish and sleeping. The main perks of this place is that it has a seawall on a protected canal to keep a boat, has good channel access to both the oceanside and gulf, and is clean. Marina with boat fuel and boat ramp is in Venture Out neighborhood just a few hundred feet away from this actual unit. Overall a good time.

Tell the truth

The location is amazing with lots of amenities. They have tennis courts, swimming pool right on The Atlantic ocean, a store on site, and many, many more and amenities. I found that the trailer we were in was comfortable, had a great AC just a little dated and needed a bit of maintenance. One thing I was not aware of nor was I told is that you could only have six people which means that your family cannot come into the facility to visit. This was very disappointing as we had family members on the same key just at another location. They couldn’t even come in to go on our boat. Also, they were working on the seawall, so our days were filled with pounding of cement that they were extracting from the seawall all day long. We asked for a new location but didn’t hear back from Jennifer. Communication initially was positive with her, but after I brought it to attention about the seawall, she told me she would get back to me the next day on a possible relocation, but but did not receive a notice back from her the rest of the week. The location was convenient for what we needed it for we were going to lobstering and then to Looe Key!

It’s sad

Starting with a good, the beds were clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean. But the house is sad. No one has done maintenance screens ripped chairs on the porch, broken no bath mats and outside of countertops. Everything is dusty. I wish I could show a picture of the air conditioning vent. It has years worth of dirt on it.

Venture Out Cudjoe

Overall, had a great time and the Venture Out organization had everything well organized. The unit was older but did what we expected when we weren't on the water. Trailer storage was not ideal, due to the 2 vehicle limit. A few missed spots in cleanliness. Overall a good place. We would stay again!

Dirty and in need of maintenance

Could actually be a cute and lovely place to stay if anyone cared to clean it thoroughly and take care of some very basic maintenance. Floors dirty to the point you can’t walk around without shoes on… and let’s be honest we are in the keys we kind of want to kick off the work boots and enjoy some barefoot living. Huge emphasis on cleaning all dishes before you leave yet there was dirty dishes in the cabinets upon arrival. Bath towel had a long hair hanging from it. Blinds have stains all over them and most importantly for safety purposes exposed wires from an outlet on the back deck as well the lights did not work out there. I would personally never stay there again although it has potential. Also pretty tight quarters for just two of us. Most importantly just dirty and in need of some basic upgrades.

Idiots working security!

1500 characters is not enough to tell the whole story correctly. The unit I stayed was great, very clean and was described correctly in the listing. My host Jennifer was available to answer questions if I had them. I was very happy with the unit! My problem was with the two idiots working security. They were rude! When I went to check in, I was told that they didn't have any information on me. (Jennifer assured me when I spoke with her later that day that she had given then all the information they needed). Steve, which I found out is suppose to be the supervisor, felt for some reason he needed to raise his voice towards me while giving his welcome aboard speech. I asked about trailer parking and Steve said we don't have any. Jennifer told me about overflow parking available if needed. Steve didn't mention anything about overflow parking, just said we don't have any. To make a long story short, I went in and complained to the manager. He seemed concerned. I told him about the two security guards attitude. I asked him about trailer parking which my host told me was available, and if there wasn't, is there other trailer parking available which my host told me there was. He asked did they (the security idiots) give you a list of overflow parking available, I said no. He said let me go out and get you one. Again I was very happy with the unit and Jennifer as my host! What was disgusting was dealing with the two idiots at the front gate when I checked in.

Nice place

After reading the past reviews, we were a little concerned about what we may be walking into. After we arrived we realized that either the cleanliness issue mentioned in prior reviews were taken care of or were not picky/petty. We had no issues with the place whatsoever. If you’re looking for a 5star Taj Mahal place, this is not it. If you’re looking for a decent size place for 4 adults in a nice community then this is it.
