Beautiful state of Mind
Absolutely loved our time we spent Blue Mind. We stayed for five days with our two small dogs. The house was perfectly located on the canal with beautiful and relaxing views. The house is perfectly decorated and was fully stocked with all the essential supplies to make any type of meal. We sat outside on the canal side and ate shrimp cocktail and grilled while enjoying the view. The house was very clean and well kept. Loved that the unit had a washer and dryer. Bathroom had plenty of bath towels for our stay. The unit also had a lot of extra pillows and blankets. Loved meeting some of the other residents and enjoyed the pool. Wished we could have stayed longer. We would highly recommend this place and hope yo return soon.

Great family trip
This property was perfect for my husband and two fur babies! Great location on the canal and had everything we needed and even easily let us extend our stay since we weren’t ready to leave the keys!!! The place was decorated and updated in perfect keys style and made us feel right at home.

We have stayed in the park many times. We love the pool and the walk ability. Our unit had everything we needed. An added bonus was two bikes and an ocean kayak to enjoy and explore. We would definitely stay here again. Lots of good local restaurants as well.

Yearly visit to Cudjoe
We have been familiar with Venture Out for over 20 years, but have never stayed in that resort. We loved the unit, location and ease of it all. There was a little problem getting a key at the beginning, but that was rectified. The channels would not come in on the tv - it kept asking for a code, but we did not want to keep bothering property management about it. (Thanks to Allison for helping out when she could). It is great place to walk right out to your boat, and easy in and out to the water. Although we did not use any of the appliances, or dishes..etc the unit looked well stocked for any needs. We were overall pleased, and treated the unit just like our home during our short stay. We will absolutely be booking again soon!

Relaxing Stay on Cudjjoe Key until we got home
The house was cute & clean except for a dirty oven, mildewed bath towels and some dirty clothing left in the closet. We had a couple of issues including problems with the air and smoke ftom the dirty oven so we called and left a message with the management company but never heard from anyone. After we returned home, we got an email with the message “filthy oven” and a charge for $25. I called and emailed letting them know it was not us and that no one ever returned our calls. They replied we didn’t leave a message and they had a special person assigned to the oven. Cute house, awful customer service. There are a lot of other great places that offer both.

Home away from Home
Great place to stay. Very cozy and cute. Lots of amenities, great views and close to Key West. Only issue is a place for your dogs to use restroom. No grass. So our dogs had to learn to use gravel for a bathroom. They caught on quick but may be in issue for other dog owners. Otherwise it was a great stay and definitely would rent again!

Excellent, clean and had everything you need for a great vacation
We really enjoyed the blue mind this year. This is a repeat stay for my husband and I. The place is really clean and has everything you would need. I really appreciated the bike upgrades this year. My husband and I loved the kayak and sitting out back on the water. Great view. I love all the special touches of this place. We felt truly at home here and would most definitely return again. Can’t say enough about this property. Thank you

Sweet, seaside cottage!
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. It had everything we needed for a long weekend visiting the Florida keys. Everything was well stocked with bedding/linens, the kayak and bikes were an added bonus, and the Venture Out community had many amenities, too! We would definitely be back.

Exactly what we were looking for
This place is immaculate and exactly what we were expecting. It was a wonderful experience being able to kayak from the "back yard" to the open ocean. We used the bikes to ride around the community at night, and to the pool and back. It definitely has a retirement community feel to it, but that means it is safe and quiet. The location is perfect for exploring the Keys.

The location was perfect. It was a cute little house. We enjoyed the stay and the area. The only draw back was the bed was too hard and had to sleep several nights on the couch, which did not make our stay the restful one I sorely needed. My husband likes a hard bed and it was too hard for him. Gave him back pain.

Super quaint and cozy but…
We really enjoyed our stay here!! It had everything we needed, and the view of the canal was peaceful. I wish we had floated on the kayak at least once but there was a small craft advisory about everyday and we are not expert kayakers. We did not want to go swimming with the fishies. I think our only complaint is that one day the Surveillance company, who managers the cameras on the outside of the house, just showed up. We were leaving and noticed 2 guys walk up to the door and open it right up like people weren’t staying there. No one ever contacted us before or after the incident. Just felt like our privacy was ruined after that. Why am I paying for a rental when folks can just walk right in with their own key?! Just bummed the property owners never contacted us even after the incident. Love the Venture Out community and all the amenities, we just might find a different rental next year.
