Not really. We tried to check in early and was told they had to check to see if it was cleaned and inspected. There was no one in the unit at the time. We never got a call to say if we could or not.

Great home and neighborhood

The Blue Lobster Lodge in Venture Out on Cudjoe Key, was a lovely home. Plenty of room for the 6 of us, great appliances, lots of supplies for the kitchen and bedding, etc. the home was also extremely clean.The only drawbacks were the water faucet in the bathroom shower, should be replaced, and I also felt like there was an excessive amount of “paperwork” to fill out in orderTo stay there. I have a collection of over 20 emails that either give me info, ask for info (some of which I supplied multiple times) and contracts that were signed. I would still do ably stay there again though , it was worth it.
