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.

I highly recommend this property!! It’s a beautiful home in a fantastic gated community. Matt was a great host. He made check-in super easy and was available for any questions. 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!

Great pool area, rooftop and balconies to relax and let time slow down. Great spot for seafood and fishing. Host Matt was a great communicator and we had everything we needed. Only hour and half from Key West which we visited twice. Weather was exceptional. Only issue was lots of traffic which was expected. Just had to plan ahead.

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. We would give the rating of this property a 10/10 and definitely give this property a high recommendation.

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.

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!!

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

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!

June trip in the Keys
Matt was the consummate host. Communication was perfect, and he was very helpful before and through our stay. We loved the Yellow Tail condo. The location in Marathon is very good. We liked that it had three separate bedrooms a good distance apart (each on a different floor) with their own bathroom. The rooftop and porch provided space to sit outside. My sons loved fishing off of the dock that is shared by the condos, and I loved cooling off in the pool. Our favorite restaurants were Sparky's Landing, Porky's Bayside BBQ, and Castaways. Each of these places is located on the water with a view. The pizza at Sparky's is very good and we did takeout from here one night. We also loved Conch Custard (very close by) for ice cream. Thanks, Matt, for your hospitality and for sharing your place!

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.
