Escape the crowds and isolate yourself in an incredible Luxury Gulf front Villa for peace and relaxation. No crowds in this very small, secluded, gated community of just 14 homes. When you choose The YellowTail Villa in Bougainvillea Villas, you have chosen the best decorated home with the very best amenities and views! Ask about stays longer then 7 days and check ins that aren't Sunday to Sunday...we may be able to accommodate you depending on the month and time of year! 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!
