I cannot wrap my head around how more people haven’t written reviews on the poor air quality in this rental! DampRids FULL in every corner of the house, condensation running down the peeling/damaged wallpaper, de-humidifier running 24/7, water damage underneath one of the sinks in same bathroom that the floor is caving in. We left a day early since we couldn’t breathe at night due to congestion we developed while there. We’ve stayed in multiple VRBO’s at Venture Out in past years and are understanding to ‘mobile home life’ but this takes the cake for disappointment.

The owner was the best we have ever experienced. Very helpful insight what to experience while in the Keys with our family. It was a safe neighborhood that feels like home. The only thing that could have been better was the cleaning company who maintains the house. Other than that, great stay!

Amazing home by the waters
We really loved the house, everything was clean and tidy. The patio was right by the water and the view was breathtaking! There was only 1 thing that we didnt knew about which was the entry fee (resort fee - non refundable) which wasn’t mentioned when we rented the property(or we might have missed that). It would have been good to know about that from before But other then that no complains, would def be back here again

Disappointed
Window coverings broken or lack of. TV not workable in 1 bedroom (only TV in 1 bedroom). Closets cluttered with stuff and cleaning products everywhere. Didn't feel the floors were real clean. Will not recommend to any of our friends, which is very disappointing because the view was really good. I'm sure this won't make it on your website of reviews, but it should.

A mixed review
We were very excited to rent this specific house because of the advertised lights for night fish viewing. On arrival, we found the power had been out & we arrived w/ lots of groceries to a very hot house & fridge. The Venture Out staff did quickly help us restore power. Night 1 the outdoor lights did not work. We spent 3 days attempting to get ahold of Bob w/o a reply. We left 3 messages in the VRBO message thread, none of which were replied to & called the number listed & left voicemails. On day 3, my husband thought he’d locked himself out. We had previously discovered that the back patio door of the house wouldn’t lock, so he entered that way. We asked the Venture Out staff to help us get a hold of Bob. He promptly called us back & let us know to try the back door as it was known to not properly lock. (We realized the key code was working, it was user error.) After that point, Bob did communicate with us, but the lights were broken and never did work. Bob offered some type of compensation but has delayed several times at this point. The initial communication troubles made what could have been minor issues for several things feel much more frustrating. The house was not stocked with enough toilet paper. The house sleeps 6 (would not recommend due to very uncomfortable pullout couch) but high top table seats 4 with no extra chairs. Overall, would choose somewhere else next time. A simple check in at the start of the stay would have gone a long way.

Great house
I’ve stayed in several houses at Venture Out over the years but this one had a great sunrise view every morning with coffee. Two things that are game changers are the underwater lights at the dock and the kayaks. Had a ball. My son hooked a tarpon and floated around the flats in the kayaks. Great AC as well. Each room is adjustable….. very kewl. A++

AMAZING Summer HOME experience!
If you are very picky or "High Maintenance" or are looking for a 5-star hotel experience this is NOT the place for you. If you are looking for an AMAZING summer vacation HOME, then look no further! Right on the water, quiet neighborhood and just about everything you need is supplied. Either by Bob and Spring or by others that have graciously left stuff behind to pay it forward. There are issues with the house, but nothing that was a show killer for us. 20 miles north of Key West! This place reminded me of my grandparents’ summer home right on the water. I had an issue and left a message for Bob, and he returned my call within 30 mins, and we worked out what needed to be done. This trip was with my wife and my sister. We WILL be coming back next year with the kids. One bit of advice. Hold off on buying anything but food and maybe water if you want. Be sure to check the place to see if anything has been left by others. Check under the deck for fishing equipment. We left 2 brand new rods for others to use. Once you get there, make a list of what is missing and then go back to Winn Dixie or Publix and get what you need.
