7 day minimum during lobster season. No Smoking, No Pets. There is a resort usage fee of $125 payable upon arrival at entrance at security gate to Venture Out.

Rental agreement is agreed upon at booking and pre-registration form of guests must be completed prior to stay or when checking in at the security gate.

The community will be limiting overflow parking lot spaces (which is at a nightly fee to guest). They will only be able to accommodate for one spot for an extra car or boat trailer if available; do know there's a driveway at the home to park a car, this is only in regards to extra cars or boat trailers.
If no spots are available guest will need to find a spot outside of the park. We understand this is a great inconvenience so we have negotiated a spot for a trailer at a nearby marina at a rate of $20 a day, if interested please let us know so we notify the marina. Thank you

Great stay

Only downside was I didn’t know I had to pay 125.00 registration fee at the check in office/ front gate. Love the experience besides that. The community overall was very nice. We enjoyed our stay the entire time. I would book this short term rental again if we revisited this location.

The unit had every possible amenity you could possibly want. We loved sitting on the waterfront deck in the evenings and relaxing. There was plenty of linens including beach towels and the community pool was fantastic. Overall, I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property!!

Sun and fun on the water

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay. The property is on the canal and had good fishing right from the dock area. We rented a kayak for our stay and enjoyed being able to get in and out in the property's "backyard". The inside was very comfortable and we felt right at home. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely property in a safe location

We really enjoyed our stay. We hadn't stayed in Cudjoe Key before, but found that there was plenty to do and plenty of places to eat. We were disappointed that the ice maker in the refrigerator didn't work, and that it was a little farther than a 5 minute walk to the pool in the Venture Out community, but we had a great stay.

Beautiful Property, Beautiful location

We love Venture Out and have stayed there several times. This property was our favorite so far. Beautiful and well appointed, the perfect location if you have a boat with you. Canal is wide and close to the open water. The house is comfortable and super clean. We will definitely book here again!

Top Place close to KW

We really enjoyed it. The place is clean, top arranged and located 1*. It would have been nice if the owner would have advertised, that there is a resort fee (125$ for three nights). But that was the only bad surprise.

Venture Out Stay

The check in process was super easy. The staff manning the guarded gate were speedy and helpful. The ease of having a boat ramp and trailer storage onsite was amazing. I did not worry about the security of the boat or trailer while we were there. The dock at the rental unit was adequately sized and access to the boat was so close For loading and unloading gear. The rental unit was clean and comfortable. A small miscommunication regarding WiFi was quickly resolved by the host. I would recommend this location for any boat and water sport oriented family .

Keys and Dry Tortugas

This house is clean and comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen and a great deck with a water view. It's an easy drive for a day in Key West or the ferry to Dry Tortugas National Park or Bahia Honda State Park for swimming and snorkeling. The pool is large and not crowded for a quick dip in the evening. There is a small convenience store on the property. Would we stay here again?? YES!!!

Lovely house

My family and I had an amazing time at this property. It’s very clean, fantastic view, easy access to Key west, awesome pool. The pool has the most amazing water temperature and the view from the pool is extraordinary. We will definitely come back soon! We felt very comfortable and safe at this house. The neighbors were very friendly! We appreciate everything about our stay, thank you for having us! It was definitely our home away from home.

Additional charges

The stay was very nice. There was an additional 100 dollar charge when we arrived for using Venture Out resort which I thought was excessive considering we paid for the stay

Enjoyable stay

This property was exactly what was advertised. We enjoyed the location by the canal and the park was very clean and well maintained. My only issue was with the lack of a couple of items, such as no paper towels, no dish washing liquid or soap. The coffee maker also needs to be replaced. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in the keys

Clean home right on the canal. Lots of extra sheets and towels. Great water pressure in shower. 10 min walk to clubhouse and pool. Security at gate were friendly and helpful. There were small bottles of shampoo and a small bar of soap in bathroom. There were brown paper towels in kitchen and two rolls of toliet paper in each bathroom. Bring more if you feel you will need it. Lots of kitchen supplies and clean appliances. Air conditioning worked great! Deck is covered so you can sit outside and not get wet or too hot in sun. TV worked great. We were able to watch streamed movies. Perfect for 4-6 people. My only suggestion would be a small toolbox. We’re were in need of pliers and screwdriver to fix fishing pole we brought.

Great Getaway

We were in Cudjoe Key for 6 days and loved the location. Short ride to Key West or Marathon, without the Key West prices. The property was perfect for two couples. Each couple having their own bed and bath. Property was very clean and well cared for. Having a washer and dryer was extremely convenient. There are lots of on site amenities however, we were so busy we only used the pool briefly one afternoon. Only issue was that the toaster wasn't working correctly. Would highly recommend this property for its value.

Cute Place

The house was nice and kept cool at 74 degrees with no fans. Only thing is I wish we had bicycles to ride around the neighborhood. We've previously stayed at other homes and they had bicycles so my daughters were hoping we had some but the property did not. Since it's at the end of the subdivision the walk to the rec center and pool is a bit of a hike but doable. Make sure to bring paper towels bc the house only has the gas station paper towels. Fridge is nice and large and accomodated all our food and drinks. They even had a nice little hotel shampoo and conditioner for the bathrooms. Plenty of pillows and blankets and the beds were comfortable.

Definitely Fit Our Needs

We had a very nice stay. We loved how the community was active during the day, but very quiet at night. We felt safe walking anywhere on the grounds. The unit itself fit our needs for size and location. We are pretty particular about cleanliness and did do some touchups upon arrival, but most people would be fine with it the way it was. Only things that would improve our rating is if there were more kitchen linens and if bed linens and pillows would be updated. Also the gas grill needed a good cleaning so we didn't use it. We would stay at Venture Out again if our travel plans bring us to the Florida Keys again. Thanks for a relaxing stay.

Location Location Location

This was our second year at VO, 1st at this location. The home was immaculate and well stocked, safe and cozy. Loved the canal traffic and private residences across the canal. Made for a very quiet two weeks. The resort can be “busy” toward the center, and we liked being on the outskirts. As we are mid 60s, we were beyond appreciative of the outside motion lights at night and extra lighting throughout the home. Maria was very responsive to questions and a grill concern. In fact, she had a new one delivered within days of us discovering the one on site was broken. This was very much appreciated - as well as the neighbor who offered to put it together so we could enjoy our day. We love that VO is 25 min north of Key West and about 45 min south of Marathon - the best of all worlds!
