About Encinitas
Perched along the stunning North County coastline of San Diego, Encinitas perfectly blends historic beach-town charm with a vibrant, upscale surf culture. Just steps away, the iconic Historic Coast Highway 101 corridor is completely walkable and packed with trendy open-air cafes, boutique shops, and world-class restaurants. Whether you are looking to surf legendary breaks like Swami's, explore the lush trails of the San Diego Botanic Garden, or just relax by the ocean, Encinitas offers an effortlessly cool, laid-back atmosphere. It is the ultimate Southern California destination for a sun-drenched coastal escape or a classic family beach vacation.

About Moonlight Beach
Moonlight Beach is a beautiful, family-friendly destination featuring recently updated facilities, a green area, and a playground. Spend your days utilizing the three sand-volleyball courts, enjoying the barbecue pits, building sandcastles, hitting the surf, or scanning the horizon for passing pods of dolphins. The house is also an easy walk to Stone Steps, a local, hidden-gem beach just a short distance north of Moonlight Beach. Primarily known as a neighborhood spot rather than a major tourist hub, it is a quieter, more secluded alternative to the heavily trafficked Moonlight Beach.

    My sons and I loved our 9 days at this fabulous home 2 blocks from the beach. From our first communication with the owners, and throughout our stay, it felt like we were staying at a friend’s house. This rental had one of the most well-equipped kitchens I’ve encountered and we cooked at home a lot. The house comes with an outdoor shower, which is very helpful after the beach. The garage holds bikes, boogie boards, wetsuits (all for your use) as well as a washer and dryer. Tons of fresh towels for the shower and beach.The home is spotlessly clean, cozy and comfortable. The location is ideal. Close to the beach and all the shops and restaurants on the 101. There is a beautiful natural grocery store nearby and an ice cream shop. Encinitas Ranch Golf Course is a fantastic public course nearby. (Use Noteefy app to get on). I don’t know what else you could ask for. Piper, Erin and Tiffany, thank you for making us feel so welcome! Hope to come back again soon.

    We had a great stay. The kitchen is very well equipped and has lots of space for a large group to eat in a dining room/kitchen combination. They had lots of beach toys and it’s two blocks to the beach with a wagon to carry stuff to the beach. Has a nice little yard in the back as well. We had a great stay.

    We had a lovely stay for some family time. The house was well stocked with cooking and beach supplies, which was super handy. The house hummed loudly when the water was running, otherwise the house was everything we could have needed and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

    We loved our time in Encinitas. This property was clean, accommodating for our family with young children and so close to the beach. Owners went out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable and were easy to get ahold of during the stay. Thank you for sharing your beach getaway with us!

    This property close to moonlight beach was fantastic for our young family of four. It's close to the beach and the main street in Encinitas. The property is in a quiet, safe street and is a really comfortable family home! Would absolutely recommend staying here.

    I cannot speak highly enough about this property and the owners.The location was perfect for our family vacation. Moonlight Beach was a three minute walk, and great food and shopping were just a short walk too. Everything at the property was clean, comfortable, and in great working condition. There is a washer and dryer and everything you need for the beach. There are two bikes to ride around on, and a beautiful deck to sit on in the evening. Erin was extremely accommodating and immediately responsive to all of our questions. We highly recommend this place!
