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.

Quiet and safe getaway
Our family had a very comfortable stay, snorkel gear, bikes, towels, laundry everything we needed. The only unexpected was the ocean water was smelly at times and we used the paddle boards to collect trash out of the water as it collects in the dock area. I still gave 5 stars, but we definitely didn't feel comfortable swimming right off of the deck with everything gathering in that area. The pool was a nice alternative!

Great Rental
Loved the house and everything was perfect. My only concern or thing to watch out for is if you have a boat. The bubblers at the end of the canal doesn't work, so there is a thick pile of seaweeds at the end of the canal in front of the house. We were being very careful, but it almost ruined the trip when they got into the engine. (I think it is a Venture Out issue, not a rental issue). The rental is still 5 star and I would rent it again. This is probably my favorite house so far at Venture Out.

Absolutely perfect!
Everything was perfect, the house was beautiful and well stocked. We even saw two manatees hang out right in front of the house for about an hour! The location is great and the host was extremely helpful. Side note, the Square Grouper restaurant, which is just down the road, was one of the best places we ate in the Keys!

Nothing special
Average, clean and relaxing. Fine for a relaxing get away but nothing special. Communicating with the owner was rather frustrating. We received multiple repedative emails requesting information and giving special instructions that we responded to over and over again.

Great clean and central home away from home
The house was emmaculate and a great central location for trips to Key West and Islamorada for the week. The beds were very comfortable and the space was very homey...we've stayed in many VRBO rentals, and this was the best appointed kitchen we've experienced from a K-pod and a drip coffee maker to an airfryer. Though we never grilled, the outdoor spaces on both levels were very nice, and we appreciated the umbrella and beach chairs for our day in Zachary Taylor.

Great place to stay
We really enjoyed our stay. This house is incredibly clean, modern and everything you need for a stay in the keys. The location fit our needs perfectly. We loved having the marina on site, the opportunity to ride bikes through the community, swim and to simply enjoy the outdoors in a secure community. We would absolutely stay again.

Beautiful
Melanie's home was immaculate. Perfect place to stay, right on the canal. You are able to watch the sunrise every morning from the large upper balcony. There is also a small balcony that is right off the master bedroom. The resort had all the amenties that were listed on the brochures. 2 pools, adult hot tub, the Venture Out convenience store and so much more. We rented a golf cart to go to the pools as it was a little bit away from the house. Everyone was so friendly. Make sure you drive the speed limit and don't go 1 mile over in the resort and driving through Florida as they want their state to be safe for everyone. Every time I had a question Melanie responded right away.

Great weather and good fishing trip.
Return to same unit as last year. Some new updates were a pleasant surprise. With our boat in canal could not have been easier to be in 560 ft in only 8 miles and catching mahi-mahi. After a day of fishing, docking the boat by the pool and cooling off was an everyday routine. Then going to the condo to clean the fish and washing the boat. My wife and I went out in the boat 6 days straight. It is definitely one of our favorite places to stay! The staff in the marina store are very nice and friendly. Fuel, bait, ice, and Key lime pie are always available ! I would highly recommend this place.
