We have stayed at seven different houses over the years, looking for the perfect house. Our search is over! Believe it or not, the house is even more perfect than the pictures portray! Perfect location to take the boat on the bay or ocean side, whatever you can think of needing, the house will have it, even a bait freezer, an ice maker for the boat, and a wet well for bait! We all loved this house from 11 to 72 years of age!
My husband and I have been vacationing in the Keys for 17 years and both of us agree - Yellowtail Bungalow is one of the best places we have ever rented. We will definitely be coming back!The outdoor space is excellent. The pool/hottub has shade throughout the day and there is plenty of seating. The dock/canal also provided entertainment with various sea life swimming by for daily visits. We saw parrot, snapper & sheepshead fish, as well as sharks, tarpon, manatees, lobster/crabs, & jelly fish. The location is also great and only a short drive to groceries, shopping, restaurants, and Sombrero beach.The owner, Charles, was also very responsive & polite when we had a question about how ro work the hottub. Overall things were great & I would highly recommend!
Amazing place with all the amenities! The jacuzzi and pool were just what we needed for some R&R with amazing views of the Gulf from the sun deck! Looking forward to coming back soon
This is such a great house to vacation in. It was well appointed and had everything we needed. We had a wonderful time and especially loved the pool and all of the features. Beds were comfy as well as the living room furniture. Hope to come back next year!
This was a great vacation property. Extremely clean when we arrived. Great access for our boat and just a very enjoyable time. Highly recommend and we will probably be staying here again sometime.
My husband and I stayed here for our first trip to the Florida Keys and the house did not disappoint. The property was very clean and the furniture comfortable. The A/C worked great and the backyard was a great oasis. Charles was great at communicating and even had solar lights for the pool delivered while we were there. We would definitely stay here again!
Top notch rental. Everything as advertised. One of the better rentals weâve had in Marathon. 22â CC had no problems getting in and out during any tide. Will definitely be back.
Great location loved everything about the property just a few minor issues the pool lights dont work the pool has a significant leak and has to be filled often the master bedroom ceiling fan is inoperable minor things but still worth mentioning
The location was amazing, the canal was literally a block from the Gulf, perfect for lots of boating activities. Spent a fair amount of time relaxing in and around the pool for the week with friends. This house was exactly what we needed!! We will definitely be coming back in the future!
House was absolutely amazing! Wonderful decor, clean, well stocked, pool, and jacuzzi , with the waterfalls, were so beautiful. Boat dock was great, built in live well was great. Caught numerous mangrove snapper right off the dock, easy in and out with our boat, bait freezer and ice machine were a huge help. Saw 3 Manatees in the canal all the time! Definitely will stay there again! Loved it ! Had a blast !
This place was the perfect place to spend time in the Keys. The beds were comfortable, the location was in the center of Marathon, and the pool was amazing! They truly thought of everything with all of the little details and amenities. I wish I could give it more stars!
We really enjoyed our trip even though the weather didn't cooperate. It was cold and rainy and we didn't get to catch our fish but we found several fish markets and ate some of the best home cooked meals ever. We had stone crab claws that we hadn't eaten for 30 years. And we found dry aged hand cut syeaks at Fish Tales that were the best I have ever eaten. We had all we needed and had a great time. We would love to rent again.
This was the perfect property for 3 couples. The floor plan is great and very conducive for folks to be gathered in the kitchen area. The beds are more than comfortable and rooms were very quiet. We spent most of our time outside relaxing in the amazing pool and watching sunsets from the sun deck. There are plenty of seating options outside for folks to be in the sun or in the shade under the tiki hut. The neighbor George and his dog Penny are a complete delight. The owner Charlie was easy to get ahold of and communicated throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this property as it is centrally located to everything yet tucked away in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. We canât wait to go back!
The house was beautifully decorated and CLEAN! The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pans etc. We loved the pool and hot tub and being able to dock our boat in the canal for EASY access to the ocean. The back yard is fenced in which was awesome for our dog. The shower in the master suite was AMAZING. The house is very close to the boat ramp, restaurants, shops, grocery stores, etc. The only small concern we had was that the mattress in the master suite bowed in the middle, not being very comfortable. The owners were pleasant to deal with and we would definitely rent again! Thanks!
We so enjoyed this property that we've booked it for 2025 and hope to continue to do so annually. Since it is located in Marathon it is conveniently located to any amenity you might require and its central location in the keys means that it's a relatively quick trip to other keys including Key West. Quite different from the more typical, generic character of VRBO rentals in the Keys, this place indeed has its own unique character and charm as the photos suggest. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, accommodating my wife's sons and daughter-in-law worked very well. Also, the kitchen is very well supplied with anything you would need for meal preparation (we cook rather than going out to eat all the time). The pool is the perfect temperature and is surrounded by ample and very usable hardscape, furniture, and a fun tiki hut. Situated on a canal just a short way from open water, the dock could handle a boat but also worked for our kayaks. In summary, this is a great place to stay in the Keys. Highly recommended.
From the outside the house looks small, but as soon as you walk in the house is open and airy and very spacious. Every room had its own bathroom which was nice. The master bedroom was unique with the murals, it reflected being under the sea. The shower in the master bedroom had so many shower heads you could use a different one for each shower, but my absolute favorite was the rain head; I want one of these in my bathroom.
The kitchen had everything you need for cooking a meal.
I loved the pool area. It was very private even though you were on the canal. The waterfall in the pool made the experience even better; kids will love it. I used the pool every day, and I think I was able to talk my husband into putting one at our home.
I love the place so much I wanted to stay another week. I would definitely stay here again.
We have been visiting the Keys for over 35yrs and have stayed in many different houses. This one ranks near the top! It has a very unique remodeled water theme. Especially the grotto shower in the main bedroom! The location puts it very close to shopping centers, bait shops and restaurants. The pool and sun deck was where we spent most of our time while at the house. If you bring a boat, the public ramp is right around the corner. And there is plenty of space to park a trailer at the house. The dock can handle a 30â boat and is easy access to the gulf waters. The house could use a door leading to the bathroom in the main bedroom and some curtains covering the glass panels along the back of the house. But our overall stay experience was excellent and the owners were quick to respond to any questions we had.
