Across From The White Sand Of Moonlight Beach - Full Ocean/Beach View

Perfect for family reunions and get togethers! There are 3 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms which could be used by parents/grandparents and then 2 more queen bedrooms and a bunk room which all share 2 bathrooms. The floorpan is very family friendly and nice and open. Enjoy one of the nicest beaches in southern California just steps from the front doors, relax on the balcony and soak up a dramatic sunset all the while enjoying a rare private yard. This home has a large private garden in front which is unheard of so close to the beach. You truly get the best of both worlds being across from the beach, yet have rare privacy of beach homes.

This home was completely refinished in 2015. All the surfaces are new. The mattresses are all top of the line memory foam, encased and then fitted with luxurious linens. The home is professionally decorated with a clean, sleek beach theme.

Listen to the waves crash as the ocean lulls you to sleep at night. Watch your children play volleyball on the sand courts right from the comfort of your balcony or enjoy a family dinner in a private yard setting. This is one of the closest homes to Moonlight Beach and you can walk to the beach in a few seconds and enjoy white water views from every room upstairs and on the balcony.

Downtown Encinitas is just a short walk away with trendy shops, award winning restaurants and a small beach atmosphere with the perfect amount of night life. Hop on the Coaster train and head down to San Diego or up to Santa Barbara. There is really no need for a car, but the home has parking for 3-4 vehicles.

Moonlight Beach is a great locals beach with a typical southern California beach feel. There is a boardwalk, fire pits, beach snack bar, nice public restrooms, beach rentals and a newly constructed children's play park. It truly has something for everyone!

Great location!
Amazing location and a ton of space for a big extended family. House was in mediocre condition, used pretty hard. Seemed not super clean and didn’t have some of the things you would hope for in a more expensive rental home, like full shampoos in the showers, batteries in the remotes, etc. But again, can’t beat the location and lots of sleeping areas. Overall great week!

Perfect Location, Close Beach, & Plenty of parking
Glad to have found this property for our family vacation. Overall it was a success! Pros: Close Beach, close to children's playground, lots of beach toys, wagon, chairs etc. Propane BBQ, Parked 3 cars 1 truck easily, plenty of room for 10 adults & 3 kids, close to restaurants and shopping, easy on/off freeway, 5 bathrooms, stocked kitchen utensils etc, beautiful view of beach, attached bungalow is great get away for a couple, great fenced in grass yard for little ones to play on, A/C, nice staff, right by a cool little painted rock garden, easy check in/out. Upstairs nice clean updated feeling to it. Cons: Property to the north has bad water leak that saturates the driveway and is very slippery. They do have mats placed down to help from slipping. Entire house slopes south, internet is very very weak, bad cell reception too. House was a little dirty upon arrival (sand on floors, understandable). Downstairs has musty smell. Furnace downstairs is always running to move air round house, very loud for those sleeping downstairs. Even with A/C and fan upstairs bedroom facing beach gets very warm in the afternoon. Overall, a great place and great stay. We had a great time! Still giving 5 stars.

We stayed 4 nights for my daughter's wedding which was very close to this house. There was plenty of room for 10 adults and the view of moonlight beach was fantastic from the living room. There is a lovely garden area as well with plenty of parking for 3 cars. The property manager was so easy to communicate with and we appreciated her prompt responses and assistance! Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for letting us stay in your lovely home!

Beach Perfect
Our family of 9, ages 3-85, enjoyed this perfect beach home. The beds were comfortable and clean. The kitchen is well equipped. The home had enough supplies (paper towels, toilet paper etc) for our entire stay. The yard was an amazing added bonus and included yard games, and beach toys. We could have left our beach towels home - they were included! Literally steps to the sand and a playground across the street. We were there on a holiday weekend and although the beach was busy, we were surprised how quiet the home was. We were able to park 4 vehicles easily on the driveway. We would definitely rent this home again. Thank you Rebecca for your prompt response to a question we had.

Moonlight beach treasure
Wonderful home for family gathering. Beautiful location with space for big group hangs and private conversations. Striking views of the beach and ocean which are just steps away from home. Cozy fenced green yard with blooming roses was an additional space for us too. This home is walking distance to downtown breweries, coffee shops, pizza and shopping. We had so much fun - highly recommend!

Our stay here was a great experience, The home was so clean and beautiful with ocean views. The yard was also lovely with plenty of room to sit outside in privacy. There was ample parking and it was so peaceful in the neighborhood. The beach right across the street added to the quality of the experience, in addition to it being within walking distance of shops, etc. Interacting with our host was also a positive experience. She was prompt and welcoming, allowing us to check in earlier, which was a great benefit after my guests had traveled far to get here. I would not hesitate to rent this lovely home.

Great location but amenities could've been better. Ants in kitchen drawers and on counter. Only one dishtowel, no facial tissue in entire place and could've used more towels. No top sheet on one of the beds. But location couldn't have been better. Loved walking to the beach and the park. Also, having parking was great.

Fantastic Beach House for Family Vacation
Our family of ten, ranging in age from 9 to 75, had a great time at Rebecca's Moonlight Cottage in Encinitas. There was plenty of space for everyone - the kitchen, living room, bedrooms, balcony were all great. The fantastic Moonlight Beach is just right out the front door and restaurants, coffee shops, pubs are just a short walk away. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. Can't wait to return next summer.

Family Birthday Celebrations
My family and I rented this home to celebrate a couple of birthdays. We had family members from age 8 to 80, and they all enjoyed the house. This home was great for my family and we really enjoyed it. The home's proximity to the beach is perfect as well. You can literally walk to the beach in seconds. The one thing future renters should be prepared for is that there are only 2 tv's in the house. There's 1 tv in the living room and 1 tv in the bungalow. If you like watching your favorite tv shows (even while on vacation), or if you have kids who really like playing video games, there aren't too many options. It would be nice to have the option of watching tv in the individual rooms. Even with that, I'd certainly rent this home again. Also, the manager (Rebecca) was great.

Great location Disappointed by noisy constructions and insects (maybe termite)
This was our first VRBO experience. The location was fantastic the house was very roomy as described. The host was flexible in allowing us to do early check in and later check out. However, the construction on the next door house and the noisy work that was going on in the house at the back (which started at 7 am) really took a lot of our enjoyment away. I wish these were disclosed. In addition, the downstairs was not cleaned properly and we started seeing a lot of insects (termite). we provided the host with a picture. I truly believe we should get some credit back, because we could not really enjoy our stay as much as we could. Having said that if the above issues be taken care of we would go there again as we liked the location and the house itself.
