Penthouse 501 becomes your home-away-from-home at this vacation paradise! Do as much (or as little) as you like. This Penthouse end unit features tropical views of the island and water from additional bedroom windows and an elevation not enjoyed from lower and mid-foor units.
The tropical theme in Penthouse 501 is very comfortable, relaxing, and functional. The living room has a queen size sleeper sofa, reclining chair and entertainment center. The bedrooms are both wheelchair accessible with widened doorways. The bay side bedroom features a King size bed, and the ocean side bedroom has a Queen size. Both bedrooms have their own televisions and clock radios. It has been recently renovated to provide an enhanced open floor plan that is enjoyed by everyone and increases wheelchair accessibility. The Penthouse features all tile floors, accessible bathroom with roll-in shower and adjustable height/hand held shower massage and grab bars. There is fresh paint, and new cabinetry, appliances, beds and furnishings throughout.
Enjoy paradise from the comfort of your private covered Penthouse Lanai (balcony/patio) that overlooks the property and view of Blackwater Sound. The incredible view and sunsets can be enjoyed from the bay side bedroom, and directly out your west facing sliding door to the Lanai from the living room.
The ocean side bedroom offers north views of the island and east views (sunrise) of the Atlantic Ocean and Largo Sound. Penthouse 501 is fully air conditioned, but you may prefer to enjoy the afternoon tradewinds and to add to the island charm and functionality.

ACTIVITIES & ATTRACTIONS
DIVING
Key Largo is noted as being the DIVE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD! Dive the largest living reef and marine sanctuary in the hemisphere! Dive in the first underwater park and preserve in the world - PENNEKAMP PARK! Dive on the SPIEGEL GROVE (the largest ship [510’] ever intentionally sunken to become a dive destination and reef) and many other wrecks and dive spots! Bring your own boat (30’ slip included with your PENTHOUSE 501 unit), rent one nearby (within walking distance) by the hour or the day, or go out on any one of the dozens of charters offered that include a private or small group charter or become part of a large group and make new friends! Dive sites are available for everyone from the first-time beginners to advanced technical and specialty divers. Dive instructors, guides, and charters are available throughout the Keys, and as close as next door. You can learn to SCUBA dive in a single morning or afternoon resort course. You may choose to take advanced training or specialty instruction while in the Keys. Swimming and snorkeling are available right off of your own dock! Basic snorkeling gear is included with your rental of PENTHOUSE 501. Additional gear can be rented from local dive shops and dive operators. The water here is so clean and clear that you can generally see the bottom while still sitting on the dock!
FISHING
Depending on your preferences and the season you can fish for Bonefish, Grouper, Mahi-Mahi, Permit, Snapper, Tarpon, etc. You can fish right off of the dock at moon bay, go back country flats “Skinny Water” and fly fishing, or offshore trolling or deep water fishing in the Gulf Stream. Just a 20 minute ride south is Islamorada, the FISHING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD! Boats, captains, and guides of all sizes and descriptions are available for hire there. Most fishing charters will provide all gear and tackle needed. If you want to purchase gear it is readily available, including the World Wide Sportsman [Bass Pro Shops] in Islamorada.
BOATING
Bring your own boat or personal watercraft. Don't have a boat or PWC? You can rent one nearby by the hour or day. You can charter fishing trips, dive trips or go out on your choice of glass bottom boats (highly recommend) or dinner cruises. Water skiing, wake boarding, tubing, personal water craft, sailing and windsurfing are a perfect way to play here in the protected waters in Blackwater Sound. There are several fuel docks on the water and several ship’s stores including Boater’s World and West Marine in Key Largo. TENNIS Two tennis courts are available right on the Moon Bay property at the base of your building. GOLF There are several golf courses within driving distance (pun intended) in South Florida. The Doral is less than one hour away. For serious golfers we have condo units available at PGA village [W. Port St. Lucie] 3 hours north.
SWIMMING
There are two very nice fresh water pools located in the center of the property. Saltwater Swimming is also available in the seasonally warm clean and clear waters of Blackwater Sound off of our docks and beyond our marina. There is plenty of deck area for relaxing and sun bathing on the dock and around the pool.
DINING
Everything from fast food drive-thru restaurants (including Mac Donald’s, Wendy’s, Arby’s, Taco Bell, KFC) to Chinese take-away and pizza delivery to sushi, Italian, French, steakhouses and outdoor patios and waterfront fine dining. There are well over 100 restaurants within ten minutes of Moon Bay. As you might expect, there is EXCELLENT fresh seafood here! Several restaurants are accessible by boat featuring their own dock for a unique lunch or evening out. Restaurants can have a long wait, and often do not serve after 9PM with some exceptions, so call ahead for reservations or to get on a wait list (if they take them). This can be a concern if you have been playing a long summer day that doesn’t get dark until nearly 9PM. We have compiled a list of restaurants with locations, directions, hours of operation, phone numbers, menu (if possible) and our feedback and experience as well as that of other guests. We welcome your feedback to our growing list.
SHOPPING
The Keys have no shortage of souvenir shops along the highway. We also have the largest selection of dive shops you have ever seen. There is a K-Mart in Key Largo and a Walmart 30 minutes north in Florida City. Outlet malls and large shopping malls are within a one hour drive north. Provisioning can be easily done from a number of mini-markets as well as a major grocery store complete with fresh fruits and vegetables, deli, bakery, and beer, wine, and liquor sales. Provisioning can be provided for you for cost plus 20%. SUNSETS Even after a full day of activities (or lack thereof) the SUNSETS HERE ARE SPECTACULAR! Many guests and residents migrate daily towards and on to the dock and West End breakwater of the marina to celebrate the sunset. Enjoy a tranquil end of the day, a few quiet and romantic moments, or perhaps make new friendships there. If you prefer a bit more intimacy you can always enjoy the sunset views from the privacy of your own balcony of PENTHOUSE 501.
OTHER KEY LOCATIONS
Not that you ever need to leave the property at Moon Bay to have a GREAT holiday, but if you decide to there are many wonderful things to do. You can swim with the dolphins at the Dolphin Research Center or Theatre of the Sea. You may opt to rent a convertible or motorcycle (from Jeeps to Harley’s) and take the drive down the Overseas Highway. You can continue on all the way to the Southern Most Point of the U.S. in Key West at mile marker 1. Do the math. You are staying at mile marker 104, so Key West is only 100 miles (and a whole attitude) away! You can’t get lost, there is only one road down and back. Make a day trip out of it if you like. It is only a two hour drive each way on a good day (or night), but can easily become an entire day if you like to stop and sightsee. Each of the islands along the way has unique character, charm, and attraction. You may decide to take several trips up and down to take in the many sites along the way. We have a CD with a driving tour full of sites, mile marker locations, and Keys history on it available in your unit.
Once in Key West drive along the streets and Conch Houses, take an island tour, stroll through shops on Duval Street. Visit one or more of the famous “watering holes” and restaurants ranging from Sloppy Joes [Hemingway fame] and Captain Tony’s (the original location of Sloppy Joes), to Fat Tuesday’s, the Hard Rock Café, or Margaritaville (a Parrothead pilgrimage). The Sunset Celebration at Mallory square is second to none. HUNDREDS of people gather there nightly for a carnival like atmosphere complete with street performers, vendors, and artists.
