Located at mile marker 53.5, Bougainvillea Villas, is a Gulf side private, gated community of just 14 free standing, single family homes in Marathon. Our Villa is not a duplex or condo and there are NO shared walls. When you stay in a area you've never been to before, it is vitally important to have a good understanding of the positioning of the homes and really know the layout of the homes and their proximity to the water. At Bougainvillea Villas, the units run in a straight line perpendicular to the Gulf of Mexico and are shaped like a "T". There are only three Villas out of the 14 that have the very best views of the Gulf.....they are the Villas at the top of the "T", numbers 12,13, & 14. These are the PREMIER units to stay in! Our homes are numbered 1 thru 14... so the higher your villa number, the closer you are to the water...the lower your Villa number, the farther away you are from the water. Our villa is the very desirable #12 and is horizontal to the Gulf of Mexico. That means you have great views of the open ocean from the entire length of our Villa in multiple directions. We are VERY close to the water and pool so you can watch the kids swim from our rooftop patio!

The YellowTail Villa is centrally located in Marathon and close to all the local amenities… beaches, restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. We are also across the street from the famous Capt. Hooks Marina/Dive Center and the Florida Keys Aquarium!!! You can walk to both from the YellowTail as well as the Marathon Visitors Center to find out about all the fun things to do in Marathon. No long car rides here are necessary for your Keys adventure!

At the Yellowtail Villa, we strive to make you and your guests feel extra special with exquisitely decorated high end furnishings, luxury linens, bath towels, and bedding, Built in 2007, the Yellowtail Villa is the very best that the Bougainvillea Villas community has to offer with unsurpassed views and amenities. What's a great vacation week without amazing views and an amazing home...well we have both for you here!

One of the most spectacular features of our Villa is our private 35 ft. high roof top deck directly overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. There you will find the most amazing direct ocean views for sunrises, sunsets, and awesome stargazing at night. It’s the ideal place to enjoy your morning coffee, sunbathe, do yoga by the Gulf or just watch the boats float by. Stargazing at night from the roof top deck is sublime! We even have a delightful brand new fire-pit for nighttime cocktails and S'mores! Yes we even supply you with a starter kit of the Hershey's chocolate bars, graham crackers, marshmallows, and the skewers too! And just added in October 2018, a commercial roof top viewer to see far far out in the Gulf of Mexico to spot the dolphins and manatees!

After a long day of fishing, escape the heat of the day on one of our two covered and shaded patios which all have water views. Underneath our Villa you'll find more open water views at your exclusive Corona Relaxation Tiki Bar surrounded by potted palms. Enjoy a cool cocktail with surrounded by cool party lights, fish netting, and island atmosphere that awaits your arrival. We even have Captain Morgan for you to take a selfie with!

Grill your catch on our BBQ or take a dip in our 6 person private hot tub to soothe your aches and pains while watching TV on a 40” flat screen! Just a few feet away, you can stroll over to the heated community pool to take a dip morning, noon, or night next to the Gulf of Mexico! You can even watch your kids swim in the pool from our rooftop deck! Yes the pool is THAT close!

Fishing is the best in Marathon and from our dock! Centrally located on Vaca-Cut, (an inlet between Keys) this location is a fisherman’s dream! You’ll have your very own private boat slip that is exclusive to Villa # 12 for up to a 25’ ft. boat. You'll have quick access with your boat to the Gulf and Atlantic giving you the maximum amount of fishing and boating time. No long and winding boat rides here at no wake speed. Just leave the dock and it's full throttle out to the fishing grounds. There is also a bait freezer at our Villa, and a fish cleaning station with fresh water all available right at the dock. We also offer free trailer on site parking for your boat trailer. We even have excellent local fishing Captains who know that waters better then anybody.... you can hire them to take you out on your boat....they bring all the gear, poles, and tackle, and you catch the fish!

Don’t have a boat…no worries, enjoy amazing fishing for a variety of species right from the dock with our complimentary fishing poles located in our exclusive "Fisherman’s closet"! Sharks, Grouper, snapper, snook, tarpon and many more species all cruise through the currents of Vaca-Cut creating an ideal fishing environment, especially at night!
