“Disappointing, old and tired”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

My husband and I went to Venture Out as it was located close to Key West. While the living room and dining area are okay, we are extremely disappointed with the beds in our unit on #642. This mattress just might be from the 1970's when the place first opened up. We called our realtor to complain but they don't do a thing.

Now we are sleeping in the second bedroom in twin beds for our anniversay. So watch what you wish for in this resort. We won't be coming back.

“Looking for paradise.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2010

people found this review helpful

I have camped and traveled for 50 years, everywhere.
Venture Out Resort on Cudjoe Key FL is one of a kind.
Built by the Gulf Oil Corp. in the early 70's on the Atlantic with canals carved out of rock
on the lower Florida Keys . Venture Out is for luxury travel trailers or renters/owners.
The price is high but you get what you pay for including tennis, boat marina, store ,waterside pool, world famous fishing and snorkling, ocean front sites.
In my opinion anyone who thinks this resort is overpriced need not come to paradise

“Real nice time”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2010

people found this review helpful

Stayed in a mid-rise modular house the week of 3/25 to 4/1/10. Did not find the rules overall a problem. This is a quiet community, some year round residents, some long term seasonal, and some weekly renters. The rental units are all individually owned, thus the decor and condition of each will vary. We stay in #424 and found it very comfortable and clean. This facility is not for those looking to let loose and party hardy or loudly. The units are close together, some on the water and are made up of modular houses, permanently situated mobile homes, and some RV lots. We signed for a one page list of rules. The only rule we did not like, but adhered to, was no drinks at the pool. Lots of amenities included with the $54 fee (large, heated swimming pool, outdoor jacuzzi tub, on-site post office, lounge, tennis courts, boat ramp, to name a few). Some complain about the facility fee, but we were paying $9 a day for 2 just to use the beach at Bahia Honda. That would come to $63 for 7 days. Wireless internet access in available in the lounge if you bring a laptop.

“lots of rules, but no one follows them”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2010

Sure, this place has 4 pages of rules, and they make you sign for it that you accept them or they will throw you out without a refund. 100.00 a night to park our motorhome on a lot that has a small old concrete pad, gravel lot, hookup to sewer, electric service, and water. No cable TV hook up, no signal for our DIgital anntenna, and no WIFI signal. I could get a signal at the rec hall, which was a long walk from the site.
Great waterfront view if you pay extra for an end spot, of which we did and was well worth it. Anywhere else in the park, the lots are smaller and cramped in between park models, old mobile homes, and varied RV's of all shapes, age and size.
On to the rules: If you don't enforce them, there are no rules. One of the rules were no dog walking in the park. Throw that one out. People were walking their dogs all over the park, and right past the office and security guard. We did not see any pet deposits, fortunately, and what were there were picked up right away. Another rule: Only one vehicle per lot and no parking on the street. No boats or boat trailers except in pre-paid storage area. Throw that one out also. When we got there after a long trip on the road, we could not even pull our motorhome into the site, as someone had a car parked in the middle of it. After having to call security, the car was moved. Boats and boat trailers all over the place and cars parked in whatever spot they could find all over the park.
On the good side, there are many planned activities for the full timers there, which are all older people, mostly snowbirds that own their lot. They seem very happy, and we did not find any "snobs" at all. The people were all very nice.
At 100.00 a night for a lot in a mobile home park, we won't be back. Though if we were snowbirds looking for a nice friendly place to spend the winter and wanted to spend the overpriced rent or ownership....then we would be there.
