Great family trip to Cudjoe Key!!

Great property and location. Very clean. Had everything we needed- kitchen, bath , towels, kayaks and bikes. Venture Out is the resort property- nice pool, hot tub, community store. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I almost forgot about Pickleball, Tennis and basketball court. Equipment available on loan to use- so convenient!!

Awesome Property

We had an amazing time here at this home. The house was super clean and well organized. The only thing I could add would be on the description of the property to fully list specific beds and sizes. I had to message the manager for specifics and he responded back quickly to me. Also with all five of us being women, we felt VERY safe in this well secured gated community.
