I HATE THIS PLACE! iykyk ELEVATOR~TIKI BAR~BOAT SLIP! MOON DECK/POOL~GULF FRONT!

Have you ever gotten to your vacation rental and said to yourself, man I wish we had rented THAT place over there! Well the YellowTail Villa is THAT place! It's the location, the incredible amenities, the amazing island decor and decorations and of course the amazing VIEWS! We've got it all!

150 incredible glowing FIVE STAR REVIEWS says it all! My reviews are ALL recent from last week, the week before, and the week before that. Not 4 months ago or longer like you'll see on many other properties.

The reviews tell the story about this amazing stand alone single family property with a private boat slip, elevator, tiki bar, hot tub, moon deck and more! Immaculately decorated from top to bottom, you and your guests will feel extra special staying here.

I play NO games & NO tricks with our pics or location like some other homeowners try to pull over on you. My pics are all current and show you EXACTLY where our villa is located and how amazing it is inside and out!

I take a lot of pride in my dream Florida Keys home. I care deeply about your experience and work hard every day to ensure our guests an incredible vacation in paradise! Just read my reviews to see what others who have stayed here have to say.

I am at your service!

In friendship,

Matt Lee

Matt was very welcoming and easy to reach. We are not used to owners reaching out. The home was as described. It was a quiet spot with water views. Close to everything you need. The elevator was a hit with the 5 year old and the adults with all the luggage. We fell in love with the area and will be back again.

This condo was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true Keys escape—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. The views were absolutely beautiful, and the location was ideal: close to great food, water activities, and everything that makes the Florida Keys special, yet peaceful and relaxing at the same time.The condo itself was well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay, making it easy to settle in and enjoy island life. Whether it was relaxing in the mornings with coffee or unwinding in the evenings after a day on the water, this place felt like home.The hosts were responsive, friendly, and clearly take pride in their property. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable Florida Keys vacation.

The Yellowtail Villa was a great find. It provides everything you need, and was spacious and very comfortable. The location was great and the views from the top deck were beautiful. We spent enjoyable evenings at the Tiki Bar and in the jacuzzi on the ground floor. Matt was a fantastic host, responding quickly, and providing names of restaurants and places to go. We highly recommend this villa.

The Yellowtail Villa was perfect for our needs, especially as it offered docking for our boat. The Villa itself, an excellent location in Marathon, offering great views, is very tidy, clean, and well-equipped. Matt is a great host. He is extremely swift in responding to any questions or concerns you may have and wants to share all he knows about the area, providing us with some great restaurant recommendations.We enjoyed our much too short stay.

Trip of a lifetime

My family of 7 all came down for a nice getaway from Colorado. I love the ocean and wanted to share that with them. Staying at yellowtail was the perfect location for our family to relax and stay during our trip. Plenty of sleeping options. Fully stocked with anything you might need. The host Matt was phenomenal. Was able to answer any questions I had, recommended a whole list of things to do or see. Set us up with a great trip for a fishing charter. So great we went twice. Off shore fishing and reef fishing. I was able to squeeze in a snorkel trip to the reef and another favorite was a day trip to the dry tortugas. Mats place had all of the information prior to the trip and even at the house for a full itinerary of things to do. My top reasons for picking this place was location on the water, boat dock, pool, family friendly, and the ability to have a boat if we rented one. Definitely worth it and plan to go back!!

Amazing stay at Yellowtail!

The pictures on the listing don’t do it justice. It was a beautiful place. Well decorated best location ever. Kids spent hours on the dock fishing caught so many fish. We saw barracuda. Nurse shark, parrot fish, eels and lobsters from the dock. Loved having my coffee on the roof every morning watching the sunrise and the s’mores were good at night. There was such a nice sea breeze up there. Matt was a good communicator and always texted right back elevator was nice to have to bring luggage up. Hot tub was great to relax in. House was well equipped with everything we needed plenty of towels and utensils and fans and blankets. Don’t hesitate to rent this place highly highly recommend! I hope we get to go back soon.

He gave suggestions of places to eat/visit that were super helpful. We tried out all but 2 on his list and we enjoyed them all. We enjoyed some leisurely evenings hanging out in the pool and the hot tub, playing cards in the Tiki area and we enjoyed the sunsets from the rooftop while eating s’mores made on the rooftop fire pit. We made some wonderful memories as a family and can’t thank Matt enough for being a great host!

I want to first say that our host, Matt was outstanding. He always responded to our questions within about 15 minutes. He was extremely attentive to all of our needs. As to the property it is outstanding. The views from the rooftop deck were breathtaking. There was plenty of room for 8 adults. The villa was very clean and decorated nicely. ( a very beachy theme). The hottub was very nice after a long day. A very quiet place to stay and relax. Thank you Matt for everything - we definitely hope to be back in the future.

Such a wonderful place to stay!!! Communication with the owner was fabulous. He made sure we had everything we needed. The weather was perfect. The kids caught all kinds of fish off the dock from the local fish, eels, stingrays, nurse shark, grouper, and barracuda. Crabs, tarpon, and tropical fish such as parrot fish could also be seen daily! They even snorkeled with the manatees which we saw almost everyday! We definitely will be back!!!!! Hot tub and pool was a daily thing. Can’t say enough about this place and location!

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.
