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!

From the views, location, and comfort of the home, this place was exceptional. We had a big family with kids of all ages and it was very comfortable for everyone. There were 2 pack n plays, a high chair, and kids tableware, which made it really convenient. There is also an awesome children’s park, volleyball courts, really delicious snack bar, and beach access just steps away. We coul
Amazing views! The host was sooo responsive and respectful,great place for kids to stay! Plenty of room, I especially liked waking up in the morning and watching the Ocean view. Beautiful beach thank you so much.
My family and I stayed at the white sand beach home for the weekend and felt it was slightly dirty. I don’t think the floors got cleaned and the bed linens could use a refresh. My husband and I stayed in the downstairs room with the small kitchen and in the middle of the night the front part of the bed mattress fell to the ground. After picking up the mattress we noticed that several slats were missing and the frame was not attached to the headboard as well as the center leg was bent. We did love the location of the house but it was not to our standards.
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!
Nice, large home right next to Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. Plenty of room for our large family, well-stocked kitchen, ample beach supplies, and Rebecca makes everything very easy. This is our second time staying here, and we are definitely planning on a third.
Clean, big, bright, comfortable great view, great outdoor spaces literally steps from beach, walk to shops…. Doesn’t get any better!

Beautiful and clean property! Perfect family vacation home!
Loved the updated beach cottage look! Excellent location next to the beach. Loved the privacy of the courtyard. Comfortable beds and nice bedding! One of the best rentals I have ever stayed in. Walking distance to great restaurants! Casita (bungalow) is a wonderful bonus with this Rental. Highly recommend staying at this property.
We had 5 couples celebrating our 60th birthdays.
The location is amazing. You can walk to everything. We enjoyed cooking in as well as going out. The house was definitely as advertised. Rebecca was a great host.
We really enjoyed our stay! The property was clean and very cozy. The views are gorgeous. We enjoyed the little garden with roses and the fenced yard. The location is perfect, right next to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores. The parking lot is very big, we easily fit 4 cars on it. We look forward to coming back next year!
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!
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!
Great property and location; lots of room. Unfortunately the city was doing roadwork, road was blocked; loud jackhammers. This activity, known beforehand, should have been communicated.
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.
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.
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.
