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.

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.

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.

great for multi-generational family 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.

Great family rental

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!

About the host

Hosted by Erin, Piper and Tiffany

Host profile image
This home has been in our family since the 1970s. It has been loved and nurtured through 4 generations of family. It's our happy place. Our grandparents bought it before anyone really knew just how cool Encinitas was. We have storyboards of memories with our families on Moonlight Beach. To say it is near and dear to our hearts, is an understatement. In 2017, Erin, Tiffany and I (Piper), cousins and sisters, embarked on the adventure of keeping the legacy alive. With increasing expenses, that meant we needed to rent the house so that we could keep it in our family for our children and our children's children. It gives us great joy to share the house and to know that other people love it as much as we do.
