We absolutely loved Our stay at Shawnaâs familyâs house. The amenities that she and the park provided are excellent. The pool was awesome and its open late. The activities they have at the park are very cool. The hot tub was hot and relaxing. The general store on the property is so convenient. You can drop your boat right in the water in the park. The place is gated, private, and has 24 hour security so none of your stuff will get stolen. And the location is awesome. 35 minutes to Duval street. We had an absolute perfect stay. There was plenty of room for my family we were all comfortable. The a/c blasts in the house. We cooked our meals and were able save money that way. (everybody knows eating out every meal on vacation can get expensive). And another thing, Shawna is always available if you have ANY issues. If you are looking for an affordable, comfortable, safe, clean place to stay look no farther.

The location was great it was very clean. I does need wash cloths as there were none that we could find and the master bedroom needs a new mattress as that one has a large sink hole in the center and you keep rolling into it as you sleep. It could also use a few nightstands and maybe not be against the wall as it was difficult to get in and out of if the other person was sleeping. It was a cute property and served the purpose for us.

Property was fair condition. It is a trailer with 1 key for the slider, we entered.it was opena nd key on the table(key did not work) and no key for backdoor. We kept our items in the car when we left the location. 3rd sleep space had no air flow, nor privacy as it was right off kitchen and the only accessway to bathroom. Outdoor space was old worn chairs. That said it served the purpose for our 4 days. Great location and pool area was great.
4.0
Cute place, small but decorated and useful. The âmasterâ bed needs a frame and thereâs little to no storage for clothing. More kitchen items such as bowls (there are 3) and some updates along those lines. We have stayed at VO multiple times, very disappointing the pool was closed most of our stay. Overall it fit the bill, the keys are paradise after all. Host was very communicative and pleasant to work with.

This was a great base to explore the keys. Close to Key West and not far from Keys further east. It was wonderful to have access to the pool and hot tub. Laundry is a couple of doors down. We really enjoyed this spot and would return!

We had a wonderful stay, the location of Venture Out is great for trips to Key West, Marathon or even Islamorada.
Shawna was a great host and we had everything we needed for a 2 week stay.
The kitchen was fully stocked and we went to the local fish markets to grab some yummy seafood to grill!

The community that the trailer is in was well maintained and felt safe. The trailer itself was a let down. There was a literal hole in the back bedroom. This room is so small that the door will not completely open. The twin bed in the hall is not normal length. Only a child could fit in the bed. In the pictures the front room looks bright and airy. Dark, heavy drapes are now on the windows. I understand the purpose of the drapes, but the room was not as pictured. The shower is very short- it is a trailer bathroom though. We were there during a tropical storm and the front room and the window by the small hallway bed let water in.

Tiny property!
I must say we enjoyed our stay! The resort was very beautiful. and I loved riding bikes around the community. When we first entered the cottage i was very surprised at how small it was but we made it work. We planned a pool day on Saturday but couldn't due to someone pooping in it, so that was a disappointment. I also liked that Cudjoe Keys is so close to Duval St! But one thing I would suggest is buy new bedding and pillows! everything was super old and the cleaning ppl missed picking up someone's press-on nails that was on the bathroom sink by the hand soup. There was also a young security guard that circled around the community and felt the need to ask my two daughters if they were sitting on someone else property?? which was super upsetting and came back later asking if the bikes had lights because if not we cant ride them around. It isn't the owner at fault but just watch out for this. Other then that.. I loved the property!!

Retro Keys Style
This cute little place was just what we needed for our Florida Keys getaway. We had lots of fun and enjoyed the property. We were a bit warm as the air units struggled to keep up with the Florida sun, but a trip to the pool cured that issue quickly. We did require a bit of help from the property manager and she was amazing! Canât wait to visit again!

Comfy cottage by the sea
My husband and I went with four of our friends. The owner of the property communicated with us about everything we needed to know and always quickly answered our questions. All 6 of us were comfortable and we will definitely be going back we didnât need to bring anything, she made sure we had everything we needed. Great host and beautiful property.

Pictures are deceiving
The pictures listed on VRBO were obviously taken by a professional real estate photographer because they make the cabin look much bigger than it really is. Yes, this place does sleep 6 but it is much tighter than it appears. The back bedroom is so small that there is only enough space for a bed, and the door to the room does not open fully.
The layout is a bit weird too. From the kitchen, there is a little hallway with a twin bed. You have to walk through that hall and past the twin bed to get to the bathroom. On top of that, you have to walk through the bathroom to get to one of the bedrooms. Considering that the bathroom does not have a fan, you can imagine that either of the beds are not places you want to hang out if someone is showering or using the bathroom.
Besides being small, the cabin is run down. There are several places with obvious water damage, and the electrical outlets are bulging out of the walls. In the other bedroom, a big orange extension cord is piled up in one corner; that cord is used to run the AC in the room. That made it feel a little unsafe, so be sure to check the smoke detectors. (They were dead when we arrived.)
Lastly, there are no end tables or coffee tables or ottomans in any of the rooms. At the end of the day, when you want to relax, there is no place to put up your feet or to put your drink down.
On the upside, the cabin is well decorated. The kitchen is well supplied with everything you need to prepare a meal. The propane grill was a nice addition. There were plenty of towels for showering. We used the laundry facilities while we were there, as well as the campground showers, pool, and hot tub, and those were all great. The owner has two bikes onsite for guests to use; however, one is out of service. It needs a new inner tube.
We did call the property manager to bring batteries for the smoke detectors and also to fix a slow draining bathroom sink and shower. The property manager was very nice. She responded quickly and had someone come right over to fix the plumbing issues.

Wonderful Location
This is the perfect location for a peaceful get away in the keys. The resort offers many activities and amenities. The location in the lower keys is perfect for day trips to Key West or Marathon and the middle keys. The property was clean and check in and check out were a breeze. I have stayed in the keys many times and this is a great bang for your buck. Obviously it is not the Ritz Carlton but it is a way to stay in the keys and have endless options of activities without breaking your bank.

Not what the pictures suggested
While the community Venture Out was great, the property was not what we expected. The trailer was not in good shape. There was a hole in the ceiling in one of the rooms and you could barely get into the room. The back bedroom had a terrible smell when the air conditioner was on making it impossible to sleep or enjoy the space. Also the slider that acts as a front door has a very flimsy lock. The lot the trailer is on is shady with nice palms and the Venture Out amenities (pool, hot tub, tennis courts, etc) were well-maintained and fun to use.

Nice visit to Cudjoe Key
The location of the property is great. It is in a beautiful setting. The facilities are also really nice (great pool, tennis courts, etc.). The accommodations are tight but clean (and you likely won't spend too much inside anyway the area is so beautiful).

Perfect Low Key Family Get Away in the Florida Keys!
We are so grateful for our stay here in Cudjoe Key! We wanted something low key with the kids where we wouldn't be around crowds. Shawna's place was perfect. It was a great location for day trips out to Bahia Honda, Key West, and Dolphin Research Center! We hope to be back one day! Thank you!

Great price and location - basically a small mobile home, a bit old but clean well kept and easy access to Key West and other Keys. Great value for the price.

We really loved this quaint and cozy place. A great location on Cudjoe Key, close to stores and restaurants. Had a few questions and the owner was quick and responsive with our needs. Venture Out is such a great family friendly community. We loved everything about this place and we will definitely stay again! I highly recommend this rental. Thank you to such wonderful owners who rent out the really family friendly home to stay!

Just okay
We really enjoyed our stay at venture out and did not spend a ton of time in the house. The main bedroom was comfortable but I wouldnât want anyone to sleep in the back bedroom. Make sure you bring toilet paper and hand soap and extra garbage bags. And donât leave anything valuable in the house, the door doesnât lock.

venture out was very quiet. The pool, oceans swim area and playground were nice for the family. Everyone was friendly, neighbors and staff. The house was a good size, just enough space for a group of 5, plenty of sleeping and sitting space! Plenty of towels, dishware for use! Also the beach toys were nice to be able to use since we didnât bring any with us. Location was good, close to downtown key west! A main areas clean, some spots could use a good wipe down (walls, door ways). The A/C in the back bedroom needs a good cleaning, lots of mold build up in the air vent where the air is pumped through.Overall, a good experience and a nice family trip!

Very nice
Located very conveniently. The property can definitely use some minor upkeep like fixing broken blinds and removing standing water in the dishwasher. The owners and manager was very quick to respond and fixed the broken door lock super fast. Thank you very much for a good stay

Stayed for 10 days. I cried 5 minutes after seeing my rental. I worked so hard to afford this.
I'm sure the owner felt this review coming. I made it clear 5 minutes after checking in I was highly displeased. The property has good reviews so I can't imagine why the ball was dropped on my family. We travelled 18 people from OH to put my grandma's ashes in the ocean. We all stayed at venture out. The older guard's sucked and were super rude.
Upon arrival we're checking out the rental. As soon as I open the door, two door blinds fall. Now there's less than 50% of the blinds remaining. Causing an issue because without them you can see straight into the living room... where an extra pull out is. Don't expect to be able to sleep on it tho. My son tried to SIT on it but it's on non- locking wheels and rolls around, plus a lot of the blinds are torn up and there's zero curtains so you're getting full sun at 630am and a possible sunburn. Walking from the bathroom to bedroom in a towel .. awkward. Reported this to her, she said she fast ordered new door blinds to arrive Saturday but they never showed up our whole trip. The toilet isn't working and is backed up, that was bandaged for our time there. It never fully flashed properly. The water pressure is beyond terrible. So much so my daughter chose the bathhouse for her showers because it wasn't fully getting her hair wet (thick Mexican hair)she actually got outta the shower for dressed and went over there because it wasn't raising her hair of the shampoo she did put in. I'm 5'6 and had to bend my knees to stand under the shower head, my 6'0 son couldn't use it all at, and my 6 year couldn't bathe because the tub is extremely shallow. The dishwasher was full of disgusting smelling standing mold water and doesn't work because they're waiting on a part. So couldn't use that our visit. The window units were placed in the bedrooms and living room. One bedroom is past the hallway cubby, thru the bathroom. So in order to have it cooled in the cubby the door to the room and bathroom must stay opened which my teenage daughter hated. There's Coors light bottle caps on the floor of the master bedroom. And a dresser that was quite literally, falling apart. No black out curtains, the main road is behind the trailer and it's loud at about 730am. Traffic, cutting grass, light construction all going on. The 3 other houses my family rented all had washer/ dryers and dishwashers. we all paid about the same. Theirs was much nicer and in much better shape. Disappointed so much I cried. I worked so hard to afford this
