Excellent Location!

Great neighborhood and with community amenities included. House could’ve been cleaned with more attention. Looked a bit like it was a rushed house pick up before our arrival but overall the home was comfortable for our short stay in the keys! Easy to find and check in!

Not worth the price we paid

This unit is very old and dated. The mgmt was very communicative so that was a plus. The wifi was not secure so not able to do work related items, although the manager did offer another option for a couple of days to use a diff unit until someone else checked in. The location was nice to be able to be right on the water, but the unit smells very moldy/mildew. It needs a serious overhaul. Would not pay the price that we did for this unit again.

Amazing views

You can't beat the views. We loved the deck and covered patio. Right on the water. Fun to cool off in the ocean. The house needs a bit of TLC -- lots of broken blinds, missing pull cord on a ceiling fan, etc. But overall, a fantastic place to spend a week.

Not what the pictures show!

We love the location but house was dirty, and rundown. The pictures on Vrbo had to be from 10 years ago. No TV in 2nd bedroom. Blinds were in bad shape. The roof on porch had been torn off in previous storm, and not replaced. It needed a lot of TLC. Contacted owner about the cleanliness and she said in a round about way we were hard to please! You pay a cleaning fee and expect it to be clean. The best part of the trip was time spent with family and the gorgeous view. I would recommend the view and that is all!!

Terrific oceanfront property

Lovely two bedroom waterfront property is reminiscent of a beachfront cottage in New England or the Outer Banks. If you're expecting a Marriott timeshare on an expensive island in the Caribbean as some of the previous reviews seemed to be then then perhaps look elsewhere. But if you want a comfortable winter escape in an absolutely perfect location both within the resort as well as where it is in the Keys then this is for you. We enjoyed the beautiful view from both the upper deck as well as the shielded downstairs patio (beautiful sunrise), grilled several times and swam every day in the community pool and the ocean. We'll be back.

Place was not clean

Location was on the water it was in a trailer park. The house was not clean I personally swept the floor twice. Floor needed to be wet mopped ceiling fans worked and were quiet. but blades were dirty Propane grill was filthyNothing like the pics. They said we could only park one vehicle in the driveway. This driveway could have held three cars. We were supposed to park the additional car in the overflow lot. That was full. So we had to park in an off site area. Kind of silly to just not use the driveway that was available. Florida HOA. Have had trouble with Venture One in the past.

Gorgeous location

We stayed 3 nights. The community is very nice. The views at this specific location are to die for!!!!! It unit itself is perfect for a short term stay-pans need a good cleaning or updating. Could also use touch up paint/floors are in need of attention. There’s a spot in bedroom #2 doorway that is so soft-soon someone is going to push through. Communication with host was awesome-she even allowed an extra hour for check out-which was greatly appreciated. I could not stay here -long term-however for a short stay it was perfect for us. It DOES need some attention

Needs some TLC

The view was amazing but the inside needs some work. Soft floors in one of the bedrooms and bathroom. There was one spot that we had to step over to avoid going right thru the floor. Outside furniture was in need of repair, chairs with broken slats. Most of the window blinds were either broken or didn't open at all. Compared to other properties in Venture Out (we had family staying in two other rentals two roads over) this was overpriced compared to the others we saw.

Great location

The location and view made up for everything else . It’s in a community called venture out and they make you pay 125 fee upon arrival for amenities . We did not utilize amenities ..Our place was what was expected as I had read other reviews about the floors being dirty etc Yes floors were very dirty , we brought stuff to wipe down all the countertops in case . We go to the keys a lot and some of the things people mentioned about the place was fine for us ( broken chairs, ripped towels) It would have been great if there were kayaks or bikes to use on premises . We noticed the rental next door had those to use. It’s def a plus when you go stay there . Jennifer was always very responsive with me , I did appreciate that . Overall not sure we would rent here again

Great, but...

Second time staying at this Venture Out resort, forst time at this specific property. Location is a dream and waterfront is a blessing. Quick drive to KW and a bunch of the state parks and beaches. With that being said, we never felt truly at home.or welcome here. Constabt signange of what is forbidden and how much the penalty / fee will be. Difficult to get a hold of the host - the propane tank for the grill was empty upon arrival, but without a response from host we couldn't grill, unfortunately. Overall, I would recommend, but comms could use an upgrade.

PLEASE Read RECENT reviews. We saw 9. HUGE mistake. It’s a zero other than the view.

Renter be ware. This house is gravely misrepresented.  It is NOT safe to stay here. The property manager (Jennifer) and the owner (Susan) don’t care about fixing the problems at this house.  It has wet rotting wood floors (we have photos and videos that we shared with both Jennifer, Susan and VRBO). There is also a mold problem. Jennifer will tell you that it was simply that the AC line was clogged during our trip, but that is not the truth. They are just covering it up and continuing to rent this property so they don’t have to fix the problems. IT SMELLS AWEFUL. It’s not just a musty smell — it smells so badly that we couldn’t sleep there.  It’s a lazy rental - they place is on the water so you get sucked into that — and I will give the property that it has a nice view, however beyond the awful smell, the house isn’t clean, dogs at a shelter have better towels than the ones they provided, if you have 4 people, only two of you could enjoy a glass of wine. It’s a joke. They offered us another place to sleep (in a motor home on the canal) - not even close to what we rented. Our vacation was short, and we made the mistake of not going somewhere else right away. Never again. They wouldn’t refund us a DIME for this horrible vacation. I rarely leave reviews and most of the time I won’t leave one unless I can give it 5 stars, but this was so awful, I had to share my experience to let anyone know that this is a joke of a rental and you will be sorry you stayed here, unless you can’t

Disappointing stay...

First, the positives…location and view. My husband and I and another couple chose this waterfront rental property expecting a relaxing getaway. Unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfactory due to the state of the property and the lack of basic amenities. Firstly, the cleanliness and smell of the inside of the property was a major issue. It was extremely dirty with dust, grime, and bugs throughout the house. This was extremely disappointing and not what one would expect from a vacation rental. We spent the first couple of hours of our vacation cleaning all surfaces so we would feel comfortable touching them and storing our items on them. If you prefer to be barefoot, be warned: the floors are extremely dirty and the bottom of your feet will be black. Cleanliness is certainly subjective, but how there are recent reviews for this property stating that it was clean is beyond me. There was not one single clean area in this home. Sure, there were areas that were not as disgusting as others, but nothing was clean. In addition to the cleanliness issues, the property lacked several basic amenities. There were very few bathroom and kitchen towels provided making it inconvenient for a longer stay. The towels that were provided were very old with bleach spots and holes. There was also a noticeable lack of hangers and clothing storage options, forcing us to live out of our suitcases which was far from ideal.
