Hidden but in the paperwork was the cost of the gate fee to get a tag so you can enter and leave. However, this comes with security that monitors the community and makes 2 older ladies feel very safe. However, you better not have a big vehicle because if your cechicle will not fit into the tiny drive you have to pay an additional charge to park in the overflow parking and our Nissan Rogue almost would not fit. The other surprise was no TV's in the bedrooms only 1 in the living room. Because we are not party people we were back to the home every evening around 6 pm and wanted to watch TV at night as we relaxed but we had to watch it from the living room together and we didn't like the same type shows. Furthermore, the house is tiny but fit our needs, hated that the door you come into the home leads you into the bedroom, the sliding back door comes off the track every time you open it so it was a pain. The host was friendly and always responded in a timely manner. We did leave things in the home that were not furnished to us, paper plates, a 4 pack of toilet paper, a double pack of paper towels, a new in the box bar of soap but we did tossed the shampoo and conditioner because they were listed to be furnished but none available, so we were not sure we could leave it. No ice maker either, you must fill ice trays to have ice. The hidden Surprise that no one tells you is all the Keys have a smell of something fishy... no fault of the owner because it was everywhere. The community is GREAT, loved the onsite store, pool, and friendly people. The host's husband got aggravated at my friend when we called because we could not turn on the shower, it isn't easy, but you must pull straight out as you wiggle it and it was very hard to do, we were afraid of breaking it. The internet was spotty and buffered a lot when we tried to watch TV. However, overall it was a great vacation but a little over priced when we compared the prices of other places within the Venture Out Gated Community with far newer and nicer homes. I would highly recommend staying in the Venture Out Community if you want to feel safe and have lots of amenities. We loved our vacation (-) the smells.

House served our needs well. Only thing that was not communicated was the size of the driveway - VERY SHORT! We had a full-size van & had to park sideways to get it off the street. If you can't get in the driveway, they charge extra to park in an overflow parking lot. No communication about that at all. Don't forget to figure in the cost to get into the housing development when you are shopping for a place to stay - $107 one time entrance fee. The only other odd thing about this house is the front door goes into one of the bedrooms. There is a sidewalk around the house & steps up to the back deck & patio doors but that was a little inconvenient. Everything else was up to par!

The owner was great to work with. Marisol communicated quickly and in detail. VRBO first had on the listing that the total price for two nights here was a certain price, then when I clicked the book it tab, it went up by sixty-three dollars!I called customer-service and the woman who answered told me that that is the way it is, and nothing could be done about it. When we arrived at the property, we were charged an additional one hundred dollars to get in the gate to the community!! Marisol had mentioned this, but I (apparently inaccurately) assumed that was included in the amount that VRBO had first charged me! This property had been advertised as one hundred seventy-five a night. In reality we paid over seven hundred and fifty dollars for two nights!!! I am not happy with VRBO for their misrepresentation of the price and also for their unwillingness to even honor their first “Total Stay” price!

Great location. Safe and secure.
