Great family vacation

We’ve been coming to Marathon for several years and this might be the best house we’ve stayed at. Very clean and comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen. Fabulous pool. Quiet neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again.

We stayed here the week of Christmas. Everything was great. The house was nice and clean, and Michelle was very responsive to any questions we had. Our only complaint, which had nothing to do with the house or Michelle, was that Mother Nature didn't fully cooperate during our stay. But that's winter time in Florida.

Best place ever!

This house was very clean, well decorated, great furnishings (brand new bed!), conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to stores. The pool was warm, the canal was fun, and we enjoyed kayaking I can’t think of a single thing that could have improved our stay!! Incredible find!!

Great Marathon Home!

The house has quick, easy access to the Gulf! We had plenty of dockage for our 22’ boat!. The house itself is well stocked, very clean and has a great layout. The pool is big enough for the entire family to enjoy and the owners were awesome. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great house and location

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!

Great stay!

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.

Amazing Home!

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

BEAUTIFUL keys vacation home !!

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

Perfect Property!

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 great…very 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 couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Highly recommend this property!

A little slice of Heaven

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! )

Great house for our fishing trip. Plenty of room to park a trailer, a bait freezer downstairs, and the place was very nice. The pool in particular is a welcome treat after a hot day on the boat. A few things to be aware of when you visit - the dock is a bit tight for a larger boat. 30’ is likely the max you’d comfortably fit. All accommodations are on the second floor, so be prepared to carry coolers and whatnot up a flight of stairs. Great spot and we hope to return!
