Great place to stay in the Keys

This place had everything needed for a great family vacation on the water in the keys! Rooftop deck was great! The hot tub and outdoor bar area added to the experience. The fishing gear provided was also a great benefit. The only negative was that it was almost impossible to park a boat at the dock due to the strong current, constant waves, and the tight approach to the dock.

Best location ever!

What a great property! We loved every minute of our trip and especially the location and amenities of this Yellowtail VRBO. Our teenage boys sat in the hot tub nearly every night and watched a movie or some sporting events - they loved it! They also fished off the dock and caught some spectacular fish! So much fun! We used the grill, the kitchen, the roof fire pit for smores - it was all just perfect. The washer and dryer came in handy as well. No complaints here - this is an ideal spot!!

Perfect place

Everything was terrific, easy check in, was in communication with Matt a few times during the week and the place was very clean and exactly like the pictures. Good location that was close to everything in Marathon. Would definitely return if we were in Marathon again. We really liked how the place was organized and was the perfect set up for our family.

Yellowtail Villa

We had an amazing time at Yellowtail Villa. Everything was as described and exceeded our expectations. The helpful labeling and "friendly" reminders throughout were well thought out. Extra bumpers and fenders (provided) added to the ones we brought, and helped keep our boat off of the seawall and safe. It has been over 20 years since we last stayed at Marathon/Vaca Cut. Matt the host was the best and had great suggestions for dinner and things to do. Thank you for everything, Lynn Godwin 8/24

Yellowtail feels like home

We trailered our boat down and docked in the slip. We could look out from the porch and see our boat- which is what we really wanted to be able to do! Matt was a fantastic host from the day we made the reservation until after checkout! He offered tips on great spots all over Marathon. Location is just north of Vaca cut so you have access to gulf or ocean. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back!

Perfect Vacation

Yellowtail Villa was a wonderful home for our vacation. The owner was extremely kind and responded promptly to any questions I posed. The house had everything we needed to make our stay in the Keys very enjoyable. The private community was quiet and we felt very comfortable the entirety of our stay. This home is perfect for a family or group of friends.

Great location

Great location, great communication, and amazing views. Our family spent eight days enjoying our fourth Marathon vacation. This is not a negative - guest should plan for mosquitos around the hot tub, grill, and boat slip at night. This is all of southern Florida and NOT on the host. Great place to put our 24' center console and couldn't have asked for a better spot to enjoy all things Marathon.

Family Vacation

This house was perfect for our family vacation. We swam right off the doc and was able to see countless tropical fish, a manatee, dolphins, a stingray, and so much more. It was like swimming in a fishbowl! The house is very unique and has a comfortable feel we would definitely stay again. Only problem we had was master bathroom toilet did not flush well at all and really couldn't be used much.

Fantastic

This rental was fabulous. The sunrises and sunsets on the roof top are spectacular! It is in a great location. Two restaurants within walking distance. The pool is a little on the smaller side but we enjoyed it everyday we were there. There is nothing bad about this place. I almost hate to give a great review because then the secret of this gem of a place is out there. Definitely want to come back here again. Thanks Matt, you are a great host!

Everything you need is here!

What an amazing place. Everything was so clean! We arrived later than planned and the owner left lights on for us in the parking area. Had an elevator to assist with all our stuff. The two balconies are perfect for having dinner and drinks on. If that’s not enough, the rooftop access is the deal closer! Loved everything about the place. Perfect location, almost dead center of the keys, so you’re the same distance from Key West as Key Largo. We’ll definitely be back!

Great Vacation Spot

We enjoyed our stay at the Yellowtail Villa. The villa is well laid out with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. There were six of us, so it was really nice that each bedroom had its own bathroom. While at the villa, we especially enjoyed the pool, the tiki bar and fishing off the dock. We also went to Key West a couple of times, as it's just over an hour away. Sombrero beach is only a few minutes away and a must. Matt, the host, was super responsive and very helpful with recommendations and local connections.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Matt was a spectacular host with excellent communication before and during the trip. He even checked in afterwards to make sure we made it home safely! Our family loved the Yellowtail Villa! It was spacious and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. With three bedrooms we had plenty of room to spread out and have our own space. We tried several local restaurants including Sparky’s, Sunset Grille, Burdines, and Florida Steak and Lobster House which were all fantastic. The highlight of each day was going to the dock at night to see what sea creatures we could see. We saw things we have only seen in aquariums including an octopus, a horseshoe crab, angel fish, parrot fish, and eels. Our boys caught more fish off the dock than they did on the chartered trip we took. We had an amazing time and look forward to visiting again!
