We were on the end of canal with wonderful sunrise.Beds comfortable and the towels were large and plush.Well equipped kitchen for our cooking needs.A well maintained community with a pool, convenience store home to RVs as well as permanent places to stay.
The property is nicely decorated just as the pictures posted in the listing. Fully equipped with everything you need in the kitchen. All very cleaned. Location is great! It is also within a reasonable driving distance to Key West.
We loved this house! Right on the water...comfortable...beautiful views...active resort community...easy to find...communication from owner was prompt and helpful. Nothing negative to say other than we wish we could've stayed longer...which we will next time.

What a great place to stay if you want to be right on the water! The place was clean and just as described! We definitely will look to book here again. 2nd bedroom is small--but we made it work. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
This place was awesome!! Plenty of space, beautiful location. Very clean. Great place to hang out and fish/ paddle board. Loved the nice chair/ rockers underneath to hang out. Camp ground is always great and this was a very nice location. 4 stayed but 6 of us hung out there both evenings and had a great time. Would definitely recommend
OUR STAY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER. WE REALLY ENJOYED THE UPPER DECK. MY GRANDSON ENJOYED FISHING RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR AND ACTUALLY CAUGHT A LOBSTER. WE ENJOYED THE MANY GREAT RESTAURANTS NEAR BY. THE HOUSE WAS EVERYTHING WE HOPED IT WOULD BE.
If you’re familiar with Venture Out, this is one of the nicest and newer units in the park. Also great location within, end of a wide canal and close to pool. My only complaint would be that the place is priced very high with none of the charm of some more loved places in the park; no bikes, few helpful kitchen items. It’s clear that it’s an investment property. My family rented other places in the park for far less ($100 a night less) and had bikes and paddle boards. I found myself borrowing their things, like martini shakers and Tupperware, in addition to the fun toys. If you want a fancy, modern place and don’t care about the other stuff, you’ll love this one.
We absolutely loved our stay at Coconut Telegraph! We plan to return next year. The place is even better than described on VRBO and it is LITERALLY on the beautiful aqua blue water! The pool is plenty big and we enjoyed the tiki huts along the shoreline. The security team does an excellent job. It was very quiet at night. Easy drive to Key West if that is of interest. We did not use the concierge service so cannot comment except to say they had a lot to offer! Local restaurants are excellent. If you're looking for a wild party, you may want to try another Key. This one was EXACTLY what we wanted- relaxing - while staying in a well-equipped, beautiful home. Don't worry about a thing - the rental agency has thought of it!
We wanted a unit with two king beds/bathrooms for two couples. Main bedroom with adjoining bathroom was fine, other than the very small vanity. Second bedroom had a king bed "squeezed" in to it - night stand only on one side of bed due to space limitation, and limited room at end of bed. Second bathroom fine - although vanity even smaller than one in main bedroom. Toilet tissue could have been a much higher quality. Living area very comfortable, spacious. Many kitchen amenities available - pots/pans/dishes/bowls, etc. Good size fridge/freezer. Outdoor space good, both on top and bottom. Used the grill with no issues. Overall the property was adequate, but will look for a different place next year with more accommodating king bedrooms/bathrooms.

Didn't Meet Expecations
There is a difference staying at a HomeAway or VRBO property that is a residence versus one that is just an investment property. Coconut Telegraph is an investment property. The location was everything we expected. The rest left a lot to be desired. The magic of staying in Venture Out is that you can step out your back door and jump in the Atlantic Ocean. We couldn't do that at this property, as there was no swim ladder. I also wouldn't want to tie up my boat here. The back concrete deck/dock area was old and cracked. It was missing mooring whips and had badly rusted dock cleats. The stairs down to the dock were obstructed by stones that had been washed over the steps, who knows when? The sliding door blinds were broken and were not even mounted properly. The window treatments did little to keep light out. Even the dishwasher was not installed properly. Having owned a home at Venture Out for ten years, we know what a 5-Star experience looks like at this resort. Despite the excellent location, this property has a long way to go to reach 5-Stars.
The management company was great with communication and very accommodating. The house was very clean.
