Great location for our visit. The condo is spacious, everyone was very comfortable. The pool is nice and the grounds of the property are well kept. Would come back here again.
Great location and very clean condo and facility. Used the pool several days and the grounds are very well maintained. I would highly recommend this property.
Key Largo is a great location for snorkeling. The property was very clean and the manager was available for advice about the area. It’s very close to snorkeling locations. We would choose this place again.
This was our second time at Kent’s unit. We love the location of Moon Bay, the clubhouse, the waterfront area, and the sunsets! The unit has everything we needed, and Kent was welcoming and super responsive. Great all-around!
The property was exactly as advertised. The place was very clean and the added extras (paddles, pickleball equipment, fishing poles, etc.) were a nice surprise. I would recommend this location to anyone needing a sunny vacation in a prime venue. Kent was a great Host and we used his recommendations for local restaurants and pubs.
Pluses: Everything about the grounds were beautiful, especially the dining area. The grounds are the reason to stay at this property - absolutely gorgeous.
We enjoyed the kayaking and the paddles and life jackets our host provided. (The management at Moon Condominiums needs to remove the many broken boats.)
Minuses: In the king bedroom, the pillows were disgusting. A very puffy sham pillow was placed in the regular sleeping pillowcase. I had to swap them because the sham pillows were too uncomfortable for my husband and myself to sleep on. The flatter pillows should be thrown away due to staining and stuffing coming out.
Our host was prompt when we requested washcloths and additional hand towels for the two bathrooms and the kitchen (as there were only one hand towel per room and no useful washcloths. If you do laundry be sure to set the water to "warm." The coldwater selection cannot fill the washer for over an hour. Also, you'll need a pen to hold open the washer lid as that is broken too. The coffee mugs glaze heats up in the microwave so be careful. For a party of four there were not enough silver ware (3 knives) or glasses.
I could add more but not needed - you get the drift. This condo is as described - enjoyed by their family during the summer and rented out otherwise. This property is missing the polish you would have expected for the considerable sum we paid for two weeks. A fancy countertop cannot compensate for the basics.
Great place for our family vacation - myself, wife and two college age daughters. Our first time in Key Largo was awesome. We enjoyed the pool area, pickelball court, beach area and view at sunset. Thanks Kent for being a great host.
Great property that is getting a better facelift. Enjoyed the activities and everything here. Great staff, clean, close to places to eat and activities. Highly recommend this unit.
We’ve stayed at Moon Bay fours or five times and it never disappoints. The location is wonderful and there’s never a lack of amenities at Moon Bay or a lack of things to do in the Keys. The sunsets are magnificent right from the dock at Moon Bay! People are super nice and the property manager was great. We’ve found a gem in Key Largo!
I had the time of my life during my stay, and would definitely recommend this home to anyone. CLEAN, great location, nice and cozy, but also updated.
Thanks for the hospitality. I'm looking forward to coming back next year.
We decided to stay in Key Largo because we wanted to see the Everglades. We were not disappointed! Our condo was clean & well equipped. We had a wonderful time while we were there.
This location is in close proximity to absolutely everything!! To make things even better, the boat docks are a great place to spend your evening fishing or watching other people fish!! The resort is delightfully lit up in the evening time!! The pool is very relaxing and inviting. The host is very attentive with any needs wants and does his absolute best to accommodate. We will definitely be back!!
The place was amazing! Location was close to everything. Beautiful and well maintained property with access to many extra amenities for any group of travelers! I cannot speak highly enough about the host! He is local, available, informative and very accommodating with any request or inquiries. I truly feel like I’ve gained a friend and can’t wait to return to this place! KC you’re the goat

Very nice condo with friendly neighbors.
We stayed with our children. Our children loved fishing from the dock. The condo itself was nice. The only thing I didn't like was you couldn't see the water from the condo. Beds were comfortable. The condo has everything you could need. We plan on staying here again!
We had a great week. The condo was updated and well appointed. Kent was very responsive. This is our 5th time to Moon Bay and we love it. We prefer condos to a resort or hotel and I liked that the items that were provided to get us started were together on the kitchen counter so we know what we had and what we didn’t. We will be back for sure!

Beautiful Updated Condo in a Perfect Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience booking this vacation through VRBO. Kent was so helpful with great area information and attentive to all of questions. The condo is so nicely kept and was very clean. A few helpful items were left on the kitchen counter to help us when we arrived including Coffee! We loved spending time around the Kitchen Breakfast counter and relaxing on the balcony one morning when it was raining. Like many areas in the Keys, the complex is right off overseas highway but our friends in the front bedroom could not hear any road noise in the unit thanks to the new hurricane windows. We walked to and from some great restaurants and really enjoyed fishing from the Tiki Hut in the Marina. Thank you Kent for making our vacation stay perfect! We look forward to coming back in December.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Student Housing
Many pluses and minuses for this property. However, overall it reminded me of Student housing: Rode hard and put away wet.
On the plus:
Great responses from the owner.
Easy Check-in
Great pool
Nice kitchen appliances and upgrade
The minus side:
Towels found in the dryer (on the third day)
Needs maintenance: paint, baseboards, shredded curtains, general overall clean-up
One roll of toilet paper in one bathroom
No paper towels
Towels found in the dryer (on the third day).
Bin of dirty laundry(?) left in the hallway.
Full body weight is needed to close the sliding glass door.
We love coming to the Keys and were happy to support a fellow VRBO owner. We waited to review the property as we wanted to be thoughtful in our review. The community has many wonderful amenities and we enjoyed our stay overall. Our biggest concern was that the bedrooms were not as advertised. The photos show 2 regular twin beds with headboards in the 2nd BR. What we had was one regular twin bed and one trundle on the floor, not a regular bed at all. When my sons decided they didn't want to share a room, one went into the den/office area to sleep. However, the futon in there is more of a loveseat size and when opened up, could not fit one large child, never mind 1 to 2 adults. The condo is advertised as able to sleep 6. It's important to be clear on what your guests should expect. The master bedroom was nice, just as advertised, as was the rest of the condo.
Stayed between Christmas into New Years. Everything (floors, counters and bedsheets) were pretty gritty/sandy upon arrival. Required our needing to sweep up and rewashed all the bedsheets. Property owner offered to send cleaners out again, but by then I had already swept everything up. Few days later when I went to open the 2nd bedroom window found the window ledge at the latch point was coated in a thick layer of dust.
Place is situated right on Overseas Highway, so there is constant road noise of the traffic zooming by. Not horrible, but noticeable.
The second bedroom closet was full of random stuff which I had to shift over and cram into one side to be able to hang up stuff in the other half of the closet. Several drawers in second bedroom were also crammed full of owner’s stuff.
While most of the unit has been renovated recently, there are still some elements that are showing a lot of age (examples are: bathroom fans are very loud and clogged with dust and blinds in 2nd bedroom would not lower properly).
The place had plenty of pots and pans, but couldn’t find any hot mitts or trivets to handle items out of the oven.
We also could only find two kitchen towels and no hand towels for the bathrooms.
Moon Bay communal property was quite nice with a very nice community room and picnicking area with several charcoal grills. We also spotted a couple of manatees around the marina on our last evening while out enjoying the sunset.
Overall, an ok place to stay - but don’t think we would stay here again.
