About this property

Book any day of the week! 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.

My family and I just returned yesterday from our Thanksgiving vacation! Matt was a wonderful host and very helpful. He recommended restaurants, sand bar trips and fishing charters.

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.

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.

Fantastic stay at Yellowtail Villa!

My family of six really enjoyed our stay here and it was the perfect size for us. We had fun catching fish from the dock at the property and cooling off in the pool. The villa was spotlessly clean and well stocked. We hope to return soon!

This is a beautiful, quiet property, with every amenity you could want. The location is perfect, easy access to everything. The beds were amazingly comfortable and having the washer and dryer right there made keeping up with the laundry easy. Matt was great at providing information about the area and was super responsive to any of our questions!

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.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Living in the Northeast United States our family has visited the Keys for years....we loved it so much we finally decided to reach for our dream and buy our very own dream house on the water. We bought this property because we always wanted to be on the water and the ocean views at this property are just sublime! When we first walked up to the rooftop deck and saw the Gulf of Mexico, our kids said..."this is he place!" No other home we looked at could compare. The clear blue ocean water is why we come to the Keys and has always had a special allure for us. We are happy to share our special slice of Keys heaven with you.....you too will fall in love with the YellowTail Villa just as we did the day we first walked through it.

What makes this property unique

The high powered rooftop binoculars on the 35ft high party deck let you see miles out into the Gulf of Mexico......combined with a fire pit at night and night time star gazing, you will be in heaven at the YellowTail Villa. The Corona Relaxation Tiki Bar in the carport is our favorite hangout. While there is SO much to do in Marathon, we find just lounging around the YellowTail Villa from her rooftop deck to the tiki bar and all floors in between are the most enjoyable for us.
