We had 5 nights at Moon Bay and enjoyed every minute. Started with watching 4th of July fireworks and meeting residents of the association. Everyone was so friendly.
Went scuba diving and visited the Upper Keys. Great place to stay and many things to do.
After being caught in the Southwest nightmare, Mary kindly worked with us to reschedule and our vacation was saved. Nice complex with a great pool and sundeck. Great views and location.
A perfect place for families of all ages. There is something for everyone including fishing, paddle boarding, incredible sunsets, kayaking, snorkeling, swimming, and just relaxing. The condo had everything we needed and communication was top notch.
My husband and I, along with our 4 children, stayed at this beautiful condo in February 2024. The property was clean, well kept, and had everything we needed. Communication was great, and the kids loved the tennis court (to play pickle ball), and fishing at the dock in the morning and evening. I would definitely recommend this place, and hope to one day be back!
The condo is clean and well-kept and allowed us to have a great week in key largo. It is close to the water for awesome sunset viewing, fishing and kayaking right from the property with basics like fishing poles, kayaks, paddles, and life jackets available to use. The kitchen had what we needed for cooking family dinners when we weren't out enjoying the local restaurants.
The condo was lovely. Well appointed with all the kitchen items necessary to cook. Good restaurants a short distance from the condo. We were able to hit Dry Tortugas, Biscayne, and Everglades, all were fabulous.

Relaxing Retreat!
Perfect stay for our family of three. The condo had everything we needed for a great vacation from pack and play to beach towels and a well equipped kitchen. We spent lots of time on the deck watching the boats, and the sunsets were beautiful. I was a little nervous about arriving after dark the first night, but the parking and hallways were all well lit. Thanks for a great stay!
Our week was amazing in Key Largo. We did activities off the property in the mornings and hung out by the pool and club house for the rest of the day. I watched the ocean from the patio and went out on the dock to watch the sunset. It was perfect.

Great stay at Moon Bay!
This was a great property to rent. The condo is very nicely updated, very clean and very nicely decorated and outfitted. The balcony is a wonderful place to enjoy the ocean views and the beautiful pool below. The other owners and guests were friendly and interesting to talk with. The owner was excellent in all communications and providing information during the rental process. I would definitely stay here again, and recommend this without hesitation.
We had a wonderful time! We were able to keep our boat in the slip at the marina and everything we could have needed was on hand. The unit was spotless & tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable. Communication with the manager was a breeze. I cant think of a single negative aspect of our stay!
This condo was perfect for our family getaway to the Keys. It had everything we needed to be comfortable for the week. We enjoyed the pool and sunsets from the dock on property. There were many great restaurants nearby and it was the perfect location for dive trips at John Pennekamp State Park. The owner was quick to reply to my questions during the week. We hope to return in the future.

Great key largo location close to diving.
This is a great find.
The condo is very clean and well stocked. There were 5 of us and we were extremely comfortable and we slept great. The bathrooms were just updated and the kitchen was great to prepare meals. The complex has a nice pool that our kids loved to hang out at. Unit is close to a grocery store winn dixie and we really enjoyed the sundowners resturant. Great key largo find.

Perfect weekend
Perfect location to get away in the keys. Diving, fishing, and enjoying time with the family. Only regret is not staying longer. Definitely bring a boat and check out everything key largo has to offer.
Compliment to the owner for having EVERYTHING we needed. Kitchen full of every utensil needed, extra bedding and towels, comfy beds and plenty of room. Thank you again!
The unit is so beautiful and the communication with the owners was wonderful! She was so quick to respond and check on us! The unit was so clean and stocked with anything you’d need. Sunscreen, shampoo, laundry detergent, pool toys, beach toys….all the stuff. Property is quite and the folks who are there long term are so nice and friendly! We will definitely be coming back!! Thank you for sharing your house with us!
We had an AMAZING time. The Moon Bay property is adorable and perfect for an awesome keys vacation!! My son caught a nurse shark off the dock. We grilled out in the outdoor kitchen by the marina. It was great with all our family members in town visiting. The weather was amazing and the condo had everything we needed to cook and have a very comfortable stay. I definitively recommend staying here in this unit. The view of the ocean and palm trees off the balcony was so pretty. Also the shower was awesome the water pressure was perfect.
Thank you so much for a great stay.
My family of 4 including twin 9 year olds had a fabulous time at this condo. We had a great view of the pool and the water. The kids loved all the activities including shuffleboard, ping pong, tennis, and basketball. The pool was fabulous as well and a great temperature. The condo had everything we needed to make our stay feel like home. They even had coolers, fishing poles, tennis rackets and beach toys to use. The property also had little hammocks to enjoy.
My kids likes that they could each have their own private space and having 1.5 bathrooms was great.
It was is a very convenient location, and really liked that it was in a gated community.
The sunsets were a absolutely gorgeous. It was so nice to walk down the boat dock and sit on a bench to watch as the sky changed color.
Communication with the owner was great when I had a quick question. We Would definitely recommend this rental for anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Perfect Home Base For Our Vacation
Everything was perfect for our little family plus grandma and grandpa. It was immaculately clean, a nice layout, and convent location between Miami and Key Largo so we were able to take day trips out and visit other places. My only regret is that we didn't schedule more time to just stay on property and enjoy everything. In the time we did stay on property, the kids enjoyed the pools. We also enjoyed eating pizza on the dock at sunset.
We had one problem with the AC, so we contacted the owner. She had a repair company there within a few hours and everything was good to go. Much appreciated!!
We hope to return again someday in the future.

WOW! What a great place for vacation
Four starts rating is from the average of five people's rating.
The place is very nice and clean. When I opened the door, the bunker bed is right in front of you. It was kind of odd, but quickly got used to it. No biggy! The kitchen is well equipped. But, wish the pots and pans could be a little better because some of the non-stick coatings are fading off. The balcony with a table is very nice for breakfast. The swimming pool was great. I wish the complex had a spa jets to massage my aching back. Well, you can't have everything :). In sum, this is a very pleasant place for vacation. I will definitely come back and stay longer nex time.

Relaxing vacation spot with everything you need!
We stayed at Sunset Serenity for 4 nights after spending 3 nights in Fort Lauderdale on the beach. Everything about the condo and the property of Moon Bay was fantastic! My husband and I had our own room, and our three kids spread out between the second bedroom and the bunkbed room. The condo was updated and very comfortable. We only ate out a few times and made good use of the kitchen to make our meals. The pool noodles were great for our whole family to use in the pool. We enjoyed the amenities of the property, playing some shuffle board and ping pong, sitting in the hammocks, and walking on the docks to check out what was in the water. We didn't get to see any manatees, so we'll have to come back another time! My only complaint is that we didn't see and do everything we wanted in the short time we were in Key Largo...so again, we'll be back! Thank you for making our trip to Florida a great one!

Paradise found!
Similar to other reviewers, we can't say enough nice things about this condo. We loved 3rd floor location and patio over looking the pool. Best unit in the place! Not normally one to comment on the aesthetics of a place but I have to say the apt is decorated that exudes relaxation. From the kitchen flooring to the decor I felt relaxed every time I walked in the door. Fully stocked kitchen we cooked most nights and the owners are super cool and responsive as well. The real jewel is the dock however. We met some of the NICEST people there watching the sunsets! We fished every night and caught/ate tons of snappers and saw several sharks in the underwater lighting. We even had a late night visit from a manatee one night, which was super AWESOME. We've been coming down to dive for a few years and this condo and complex tops them ALL! We had teen boys and they had an absolute blast! Will def be back as soon as we can! Thank YOU for offering your place for visitors! There was a fishing pole there and we left 2 more for future visitors. So hopefully others can catch more fish with them!

Heavenly!
Our family of four stayed for seven wonderful days at this property in March 2018. I was anticipating a nice place based on the pictures, however in person the condo exceeded my expectations. It was immaculately clean and pleasingly decorated. One of my favorite art pieces were the framed, topographically-detailed maps of the entire span of the Keys. The kitchen was well-stocked to meet our every need to make home-made meals as well as items that we could use when we took food on an outing. The beds were comfortable and the sheets and towels super soft (important to me!). The balcony overlooks the pool and has an incredible view of the water as well. The property grounds were gorgeous and well-maintained. There are outdoor grills available. There is one really long dock (with a thatched roof pavilion) where it feels like you are right on the water. We watched several sunsets from the dock - Sunset Serenity indeed! Several times we saw the property's resident bird featured in the profile picture.
You can find a nice beach (although small and the entrance to the water is rocky) over at John Pennekamp State Park just a few miles away. There are several stores in the immediate area including Winn Dixie, Kmart, Publix. Restaurants we enjoyed were Sundowners, Snook's, and the Fish House.
We were looking for a "home-base" where we could relax and explore the Everglades and the Middle and Lower Keys, and this property was absolutely perfect. If we return to the Keys, we would definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Mary-Frances Pniewski
We decided to purchase our condo after just spending a few days on vacation in Key Largo! We love water sports, relaxing and enjoying beautiful sunsets over Blackwater Sound. Originally both from New Jersey, we have made our full time residence in nearby Boca Raton, Florida and enjoy many getaway weekends at our "Sunset Serenity"!
Why they chose this property
We love our condo and know you will too! There is so much to do in Key Largo and especially at our property in Moon Bay that most days you won't have to leave the property at all! From pier fishing, boating, snorkeling, diving and kayaking/paddleboarding there is enough to keep you busy. Holidays are also spectacular with "front row" seating for the December Boat Parade and the 4th of July and New Year's eve fireworks display!
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with Moon Bay because of the tranquility of the bay and the awesome sunsets-right from our patio or on the dock! The Moon Bay property was recently renovated (2022) and is well maintained including extensive renovation to our condo! Everyone is so friendly and it is quite enjoyable to gather at sunset on the dock to watch the sunset and enjoy a good cocktail! We enjoy staying at Moon Bay and we know you will too!
