Great property. Kayaks, hot tub, ring game and fire pit for s’mores were huge hits with little people. Unheated pool, not so much. Plenty of room. If there is a kitchen or bar appliance or utensil that isn’t available on the property, it hasn’t been invented, yet. Bathrooms are small, but with 2 couples and hygenically challenged grandkids, worked fine. Kudos to property manager, Mindy. Big thanks to owners for sharing.

great place

Lots of living space with great outdoor space on canal. Large,well equipped kitchen and comfortable bedding.

Venetian Drive is a spacious house in Key West with lots of room for our party of six. There are three comfortable bedrooms, and 2 small bathrooms. The bathrooms made it a little tight for our group. The outside area ( both front and back), although very nice, was uncomfortable to hang out in because the bugs were so bad. The pool is too cold to swim in. It needs a solar cover or a heater to make it enjoyable. The hot tub was popular with our group as long as we bug sprayed the area before going out. Also, the two story home next door is under construction and not pleasant to view from the six windows that are on that side of the house. The 4 bikes are a nice addition. We needed to purchase and replace a tire tube on one of the bikes in order to use it. The kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are a plus if you know how to use them as no instructions were provided. Being on the canal makes it convenient to try, but you don't want to fall into the canal. The water was not particularly clean, plus there was jellyfish while we were there. If you are thinking about booking this property, you should know this property is close to the airport and you hear the planes on a regular basis. It's not a big deal for us, but you should be aware of it. It's not walking distance to Duval St. but it is a nice bike ride. Lyft and Uber are easily available. A note to the owner, it would be helpful to have the address more visible from the street. The house seems new to the VRBO market, and it can use a little more organization throughout. The kitchen is well stocked with many housewares but it is missing some basics, ie. grater, calendar, and serving dishes/bowls. It felt like our arrival was unexpected (although booked months in advance for 6 weeks) based on the condition of the home. There were towel racks in boxes in both bathrooms that were supposed to have been hung. Diving tanks in front of the backyard doors and several other things. When I reached out to the manager, Mindy, her response was rude and unhelpful. She is not local and by her own admission had not been in the home for over a month. She suggested we find alternate accommodations if the home was not up to our standards instead of addressing our concerns. It made it uncomfortable to reach out at all. Bottom line, the house is nice and has a lot of potential, but it still needs some attention, and closer more patient management.
