Perfect family vacation home

We had a wonderful stay at Pelicans Roost. The home is beautiful and has everything a family with kids will need. The location of Venture Out is perfect. This was our 4th year here and love being close to key West and Marathon. The pool is amazing.

Tortuga’s senior trip

The location is really nice. The space was as well stocked as any I’ve ever stayed in. Although, the smell from the rotting seaweed in the end of the canal was brutal. Really the only negative from our stay.

Great location, great hosts!

Pelican’s Roost is in a great central location- easy to go to all the other keys east or west. Home is well stocked and we didn’t need a thing. Beds were super comfy and Hugh and Wendy were great about communicating the power was (unexpectedly) going to be out for a few hours and to work with us had we decided to change our plans. We look forward to our next stay at Pelican’s Roost.

We really enjoyed our stay! A small hiccup with the AC but Wendy got the repairmen there quickly. That issue was resolved right away! Thanks for the home away from home!

Most Relaxing Spot to Unwind

My family could not have been more comfortable. The vacation home was immaculately clean. The appliances were either brand new, or I am fooled. The host thought of every detail of making our stay positive. The view of the water from the screened deck was very peaceful. We had a question during our stay. The host was very quick to respond. We want to come back and sit on the deck soon.
