Pictures do not do this place justice.Looks smaller in pictures, We have stayed at many places in the keys this one was so clean. Perfect location. Quiet neighborhood. Michelle was very accommodating. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Perfect house for the keys. Nice deep canal with quick direct access to the gulf but tucked away enough to keep out of the winds. All the amenities downstairs for water activities and the inside was spacious, clean and up to date. Highly recommend
Stay for the week during many season, caught our fair share. Could have limited out both days, but or the type of people that just take what we need. So got some good grouper and hogfish enjoyed cooking and relax them by the pool. Definitely, a nice canal. Wasn't stagnant. Just a straight shot right out into the gulf of america
Awesome house, pool was very refreshing and cool! Have stayed here 3 times now and have enjoyed every stay. Michelle was very attentive to every question/need
Had a last minute vacation destination change and what a wonderful find! This home is perfectly set up for a great and comfortable stay. The hosts are very accommodating and everyone in our party enjoyed their stay.
My family and I always vacation in Marathon Key every April. We could not have been happier with this home. It was super clean which is a must for me. The pool is huge and so refreshing. We had so much sea life at the dock. Every morning I started with a kayak ride around the small islands right outside the canal which was lovely. There are 2 bikes which we rode in the evenings. Michelle is amazing to work with. Any questions you have are answered immediately! The house was so well stocked with all your necessities and more. You won't be disappointed if you rent here with Michelle. The home is absolutely gorgeous and Michelle is an amazing Host! We will definitely be back! My family had a blast. This was the perfect home to recharge, reconnect, and unplug from our busy lives. Thank you Michelle for a fantastic vacation! (Also we had a major issue with one of our rental cars . We let Michelle know and she was so understanding! )
Weâve been coming to Marathon for several years and this might be the best house weâve stayed at. Very clean and comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen. Fabulous pool. Quiet neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again.
Property was great! Nice Pool, right on the canal. Close to everything. Home was spacious for the 4 of us. We would definitely recommend this property!
We have been coming down to the keys for many years and the yellowtail retreat is definitely our new favorite place. The home is beautiful, spotless, and in a perfect location. The house has everything that you could possibly need and more. It was so nice to have a beautiful pool to get into at the end of our day out on the water. Nice dock to put our 20ft boat on. Boat ramp 2 mins away. We enjoyed riding the bikes provided. The kitchen is perfect we made dinner every single night. We can not say enough about this great keys get away. Michelle the owner was so wonderful. She immediately returned our text. Great communicator. She made the whole process very easy . We cannot wait to come back!Gloria & Pat BrennanMarch 2025Fort Lauderdale , FLORIDA
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.
Very roomy. All the accessories that you will need for a week stay. Bring your food, clothes and need for relaxation and everything else is there. Host Michelle was very proactive with any concerns we had which were very few. Would definitely return just trying to settle on a date.
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
Everything was perfect. Close to access gulf or Atlantic. Spent many hours in the pool. Inside home comfortable with everything you need. Outside comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return. Bring toilet paper as we had none in the house when we got there.
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 greatâŠvery 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 couldnât have been happier with our stay. Highly recommend this property!
Communication with owner was pleasant with immediate responses. House is exactly as listed and clean as clean can be. Hats off to the cleaning crew. We just loved coming back to the house and hanging out in the pool.
This place was awesome. The photos do not do it justice. Great location and Michelle is super easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this place and weâll be booking again.
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!
Property was much better than advertised.
Kitchen, bathrooms and entire property were absolutely spotless. Close to beaches, restaurants and excellent fishing.
Our host Michelle was incredible through the entire rental process and was genuinely concerned that our stay satisfactory.
We will absolutely consider staying at Yellowtail again.
