Excellent Beach Stay

This place had everything we needed for a short stay. House was clean, well stocked kitchen and grill, garage for parking, outdoor shower and beach chairs, etc. The location is perfect and so close to moonlight. We enjoyed everything about the house and hope we can come back someday.

PERFECT LOCATION!!

What a fantastic place! Loved this home and the location. Awesome space for older kids, so nice to have the separate beds and sleeping spaces. Absolutely perfect location, SO close to the beach, just a few minutes walk to Moonlight Park and Beach. Super close to restaurants, even a tennis court at the little park, so bring your rackets! We loved the boogie boards, beach chairs, bikes, and beach towels, plenty of everything! Loved relaxing and eating outside on the private spacious patio, such a treat, lovely, lovely space, would certainly stay here again. This is such a walkable lovely community, such a treat, thank you!

About the host

Hosted by RENEE LABAR

I am a 30+ year resident of Encinitas, owner/manager of this home. Our kids grew up swimming and surfing at Moonlight Beach so we think it is the best beach in San Diego! There nothing better than feeling "at home'" when vacationing and that is what we aim to provide that for our guests. We live locally and make sure the house is super clean, well stocked and comfortable just as you would like it. We are available to give you advice on planning your vacation to include all of the great things San Diego County and especially Encinitas has to offer. Let us show you why we love where we live!

Why they chose this property

North San Diego County is truly a special place to be. As locals, we love to spend time walking on the sand, surfing, playing in the waves & strolling or biking along the 101 with its great restaurants & shops. Encinitas is a charming beach community with pristine weather year-round. We hope you enjoy your time here as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

This home is ideally located within walking distance to Moonlight Beach and all local sights. 2 blocks to downtown 101 restaurants/shops, Amtrak train station, easy freeway access to points north (LA - 1.5 hour drive) or south (San Diego -30 minute drive)
