This house was perfect for us. The ice machine was a huge bonus. The sea wall was very nice and easy to keep my 18ft skiff at. The beds are also very comfortable. Definitely recommend

This was our 2nd time staying at Venture Out, but first time in this specific house. One word to describe the house- PERFECT! It is adorably decorated! It is very tricky to make 800 square feet feel spacious, but they’ve done it here! And there is a TON of storage in the kitchen and bathrooms which really helps. Internet worked great. Appliances all seem rather new and worked perfectly. Having a balcony upstairs in addition to the adorable “bar and entertainment “ area is a real treat. We were so grateful for the commercial ice maker- saved so many trips up the road just to get ice. The kitchen was equipped with everything we could think of and all is in excellent condition. Gas grill worked well. We had no issues parking our 24’ rental boat. I liked being closer to the pool and beach area than we were in 2024. Yes, we gave up an ocean-facing view but we gained so much more. You can tell the owners of this house truly love their home in the Keys and want you to love it too. As far as the black coral dust- I’ve read so many complaints!! It’s no big deal and not a sign of uncleanliness! We are from a coastal town, and something is coming indoors with you, be it sand, coral dust, bugs, etc. It’s harmless black dust that you would not notice if it weren’t for white sheets. Where we live, we have a month of yellow pollen dust- we just deal with it! Lita, our rental agent, was a life saver! So sweet, helpful, and immediately responded to my dumb questions. BEST PLACE EVER!!

The floors were filthy, we had to buy socks to wear at all times otherwise our feet would be black

Pretty much as advertised/pictured. Be aware the gated community includes RV lots, various kinds of manufactured homes and newer construction like this, which didn't matter much to us, but this is probably one of the newer and nicer of the properties in that community. The only thing I will mention - and we did not complain or in any way seek to try and have this remedied while there as our stay was too short and busy to have to deal with it - is there was an underlying smell of stale cigarette smoke that became more evident with each day. At check in, the house just smelled like cleaning product. 1 day later, it smelled like cleaning product over top of cigarette smoke and 2 days later just smelled like smoke, enough that we woke with scratchy throats by the 3rd day. Some folks may not care in the slightest and maybe if we'd spoken up the management company would have done an ozone generator treatment or something to take care of it. There is signage prohibiting smoking in the house and threatening loss of deposit, but that doesn't really help the next guest if the cleaners or management company isn't on top if it and willing to spend the time and to remedy it. To be fair, it otherwise seemed clean and new and the geographic location was perfect for us to explore the whole area from Key West to Islamorada.
