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!

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.

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.
