Disappointing. We love Venture Out, arrived on Friday to trench on the right side of the unit. Saturday and Sunday was nice, enjoyed the porch overlooking canal. Monday workers showed up worked on trench, filled it in and starting digging on left side. Using an excavator, saws etc we could not sit outside. Hard to even have a conversation inside. This went on all week. They finished the trenching and paved on Thursday. Terrible!I notified host on Tuesday and she came over to apologize, very nice lady. I did list discrepancies for her; master bath toilet was not safe to use, one bolt to floor was missing and floor is rotting giving way when you sit down. The hall bathroom toilet had floor issues as well. Master bath sink faucet sprayed water sideways. The porch roof leaks severely during rain leaving puddles on porch. I had to continuously use mop. We could not enjoy rear patio area due to construction. I did report that the large concrete picnic table was crumbling and dangerous. Grill was filthy so we didn’t use it. I would think VRBO has a list of standards for owners to follow. We had to use a casserole dish to mix pancake batter, no bowl larger than a small cereal bowl. The unit needs upkeep and repairs, bathroom floor repairs and living room window replacement, could not see due to seal being broken, glass fogged. Host returned 10% for our trouble, said manager was going to stop by and return our park user fee 125 or so, guy never showed. Feel like I threw 2000 away!

The property needed a deep clean, dirty AC grills, etc. space needs to be updated. It served us well as a "motel" space, but lacked the upkeep and quality for a vacation space.

For the one day we spent there, it was ok.... Needs to be updated as well as telling the cleaning people they need to do a better job. Water heater did not work and we were sent to another property. That property as well needs to be updated. That property had an air filter that looked like it was not changed for a very long time. We went to the store and bought a replacement as well as cleaned the air vent. Both properties were owned by the same person.

Property is outdated. Furniture is old, smelly and on the verge of breaking. We had no hot water, slightly warm at best. Went to use the washer and it looked like it hadn't been used for some time. It was dirty inside and it didn't work. Checked breakers but nothing. Outside was dirty, cracked vinyl, no dock bumpers or fenders. Just the concrete slab and cletes. The area was perfect, people were fine but the property was disappointing.

Great location. Community amenities are not worth the 125 price tag. The air conditioning had to be set to 75 or it doesn't work. Very uncomfortable.

Needs deep cleaning and maintenance

We booked this property months in advance and added two extra nights because of a situation and no other options were available. It was not cleaned properly—floors felt dirty, bathroom had stains and foot marks, cabinets and knobs were dirty, and thick dust was present on fans and surfaces. AC vents were filthy, and no mop was provided to clean. The dock cleats were loose, bumpers were missing, and we had to tie our boat to a concrete table. Outdoor lights didn’t work, power outlets on the terrace were loose and unsafe, dryer took long to dry, dirty oven, no hot water at washer. Towels provided were old and stained—brought my own. I sent the host photo evidence, and her response was dismissive, she called me “nitpicky.” She claimed she would’ve sent a housekeeper, but I didn’t come here to supervise cleaning during my vacation—I expected the home to be ready and clean. Bed sheets clean and bed comfortably. Good location. Host response : Well, isn’t that why you came to go boating and I think you’re being very nitpicky but go ahead leave me whatever review and remember I will leave you a review as well. I was very accommodating to give you a very reduced rate to come a day early with your boat and also to let you stay another night. You never complained to me once while you were there, I would’ve had my housekeeper come over and address any of your concerns.
Dirty sink stopper.
Loose cleat we had to hook to the concrete table. Other concrete table to eat broken afraid to fall in feet and accident to happen
