Great stay!
We had an amazing time staying at Yellowtail Island retreat. We have been vacationing in Marathon for the last 15 years and this home was by far the best! It was just as advertised clean, well stocked with all the equipment you need and the pool was wonderful. I would say that the boat slip seemed a little smaller than what was stated online but the boat we rented did fit. Also in the afternoon the sun was right on the pool and there wasn't really any shaded area to sit which was hard when you have kids in the pool and you want to sit and watch on the side. Other than that we truly enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect for us. Will definitely be staying here in the future.

Amazing Home!
This was our 1st visit to the Keys. We have planned this for so long & it was a dream come true! The location of the house is perfect & located closely to grocery stores, gas stations & bait shops. We towed our boat and the location was also great. Located on the gulf side, but it only a 5-minute ride to the Vaca cut. The house itself was very clean and updated. The layout was great and we had everything we needed. The pool was a must! It was much larger than we expected. We cannot wait to book with Michelle again. She was an outstanding host and very attentive. Vaca cut

Perfect Property!
This was our second time staying at Yellowtail Island Retreat. The first time was so great, we had to return! It is the perfect property for our party of six (2 adults and 4 teens). The house is great…very clean and well stocked with basic kitchen and bath essentials. It is conveniently located to both land and sea destinations. There were a ton of fish in the canal. The kids enjoyed fishing from the dock on their down time and got to see several manatees and big tarpon. The pool is larger than most and so refreshing on a hot day. Michelle is great! We had to contact her a couple of times during our stay, and she immediately responded. The bike chain broke on one of the bikes provided and she delivered a brand new bike to us the very next day! We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Highly recommend this property!

Great house and location
Great week in Marathon! This house was clean and comfortable. Breakfast on the patio overlooking the pool and canal was relaxing. Location was great close to everything. Spent some time in the large pool. Huge bonus being able to park boat right behind the house and plenty of space for trailer. The host was very communitive and friendly! Would love to return!

Great Marathon Home!
The house has quick, easy access to the Gulf! We had plenty of dockage for our 22’ boat!. The house itself is well stocked, very clean and has a great layout. The pool is big enough for the entire family to enjoy and the owners were awesome. We really enjoyed our stay!

Location & Pool for the WIN!
We had the BEST vacation in Marathon - much in part to our accommodations at Yellowtail! From the check in/ check out process, to the comfort of the home, the POOL, & a well appointed kitchen, we did not need for anything during our stay. Its location between vaca cut & the 7 mile bridge makes it perfect for getting out into the Atlantic for some reef snorkeling and deep sea fishing. Numerous waterfront restaurant options nearby, and all modern amenities for a Keya vacation are within a few minutes drive from the home. Hosts were superb & very quick to respond to any questions we had before, during, & after our stay. We will definitely be back!

Family vacation
We had a great time staying at this place. It was as in the pictures. It was well equipped for all our needs. We enjoyed the pool very much, it gets the afternoon sun which was great for cooling off. The boat dock was tricky for docking our 24ft pontoon since the owner has a boat on a lift in the dock area and on the other side the neighbor’s dock has a Broken boat lift which is down in the water.

Peaceful fun in the sun.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The canal provided the opportunity to view several species each of birds and fish and a manatee as well. The pool afforded the opportunity to cool off when necessary. It is in a quiet residential neighborhood, but restaurants and stores were within easy driving distance.
