Great canal-front property

Family friendly-conveniently located

Venture Out was a wonderful place to stay. Close to Key West to make day trips, but far enough out to enjoy peace and quiet in the evenings. Venture Out is a family friendly location. We were able to bike around the property to get to the pool, beach area, and convenience store. Melanie was a great host. Our check in time wasn’t until 4:00, but she called to let us know the property was ready and let us check in early. The house sits right on a channel with beautiful sunrises. Kids could kayak and swim right at the house. We definitely recommend this place and hope to come back!

Decent place.

Please put another Google map on your site. By following your map directions you end up in the sticks on Blimp Rd. I have had great experiences with VRBO but never so many threatening notes ( eg: please empty the dishwasher and put dishes away or you will be charged $25 dollars for dishwasher. Wash your own beach towels. Only one set of sheets per bed, make sure all garbage is put out or you will be charged). I'm not sure what types you are used to renting to but it felt a bit disrespectful and threatening.

Clean home, listing not 100% accurate and host style of communication can be better

The home was overall very clean, spacious, and perfect for our family vacation. We utilized the kayaks and bikes. I will note that the bikes are rusted and can be challenging to pedal. There are several rules for staying in the home, one of which, was not clearly noted on the listing. One of the rules is that the air-conditioning unit cannot go below 74 or the unit will "freeze up." If you know anything about the Keys during the Summer, it gets HOT. If I had known this, we would not have booked. This information should be clearly noted on the listing. On the day of departure, my kids accidentally placed plastic Publix bags in the recycle bin, as they typically do at home. Even though this is a violation of the rules, I felt the Host could have addressed it in a much more customer friendly way vs texting me that she now has to pay someone to sort out the garbage. This was an innocent, simple, mistake, that should have been handled better by someone identified as a "super host." Because I questioned the intent of her texts to me, she labeled me as "nasty" and basically threated to charge my credit card because she had to pay someone to pull out one or two plastic publix bags. So basically, even though the place was clean, we will not be staying there again.

Excellent Spot in the Keys

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. :)

Nice relaxing place to stay in the Keys

Stayed for a week at this charming VRBO with my husband and another couple. Plenty of space for all of us to enjoy. The house has everything you need. We didn't have time to use the kayaks but did use the bikes and also the new grill. Went to Key West for the day which is only a 20 minute drive from Venture Out. The heated pool at Venture Out is very nice....comfortable 88 degrees. The only thing we wish we would have known about is the list of activities at the resort. We didn't find out about them until our last day there. The guard at the check-in didn't give us a the list when we arrived in the evening. Maybe that is something that only the office has when you check in before they close for the day. The property manager for this unit was easy to get ahold of her via text. She responded promptly to any of my questions. We would definitely stay at this property again!

Great location and nice neigh hood

My wife and I were down for the key west marathon. The place was great, beds very good good stock of pots and pans. We used the 2 person kayak which was very nice but it weights a ton hard to get out of water. Bikes were also great to use although a little beat up. I which their was a little more information on the area ,by the time we were getting comfy with the area we had to leave. Fishing poles would be a nice addition. Also I know we are the exception but if you don't have a cell phone the owner can be very difficult. Thanks we will definitely stay here again..

Gorgeous Key Get-a-Way!!

This place was beautiful. When staying in a rental, there can always be a little something that is not right or goes wrong. Nothing went wrong with this place. The master bed evidently has an older form top mattress that doesn't dissipate heat, so it you are warm sleeping you will want to sleep in the second bedroom. It's not quite as bad. You may want to bring your own King Sheets and pillowcases. They were very rough!! All in all, I would recommend this place! They seemed to have everything covered! Remember that you have to pay a $125 plus tax fee to the resort weather you stay one night or more. This is on top of your rent to the owner!

Canal stay

Property was clean and accommodating. Enjoyed our stay even though the wind was blowing a little and had some rain. Close to nearby store and places to eat. Only thing that came up was the neighbor complained about my son fishing on the sea wall a few feet onto her side. We apologized and went on with his fishing and spoke for a couple more minutes which at the end she was very nice. Recommend this place for a young family.
