The property didn't have many reviews so I was a little nervous, but it was just as described in the listing. The management company was responsive. The house was very comfortable. The two loungers pictured were brittle and cracked from being in the sun, but after I reported it they brought some better ones to replace them promptly. It's well-located for trips to nearby keys, especially Key West, while being much quieter. The kayaks and SUPs were a nice touch, though it was a bit on the windy side the whole time we were there. It's easy to get out on kayaks and explore some nearby unpopulated smaller keys. We had a lot of fun catching little snappers and grunts in the canal. Around dusk the first night, I hooked an absolute monstah on a pinfish but after fighting it for five minutes with a medium heavy rod, it broke me off at the end of the canal. I want to think it was a shark, but the neighbors tell me it was probably a giant tarpon. So, I'll be crying myself to sleep for a while for having lost it. I am not sure whether I should congratulate my discipline for not having walked onto other people's property to fight it, or condemn my weakness for bowing to such petty restrictions when glory was within my grasp.Oh, the beds were comfortable too and the kitchen was pretty well equipped. The pool was nice. The community has a ton of really nit-picky rules. ##### Cameron B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kim C. 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Overall it was good. There are a few things that could be better. We had to keep all curtains and blinds closed at all times. The air conditioning (mini splits)struggled to keep the unit cool. I realize it was a pet unit but it smelled like pet urine and the carpets were very dirty. Housekeeping did remove the carpets. The sugar ants were bad in the kitchen area. We just kept everything in the refrigerator. Housekeeping offered to spray but I said it was not necessary. I have stayed in Venture Out multiple times. The property itself with all of the amenities is great. The unit overall was good. Just a few minor things mentioned above. ##### Kim C. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2025
