Renovated, cheerful and bright beach cottage only a few steps to Moonlight Beach(Voted best family/singles/body surfing beach in San Diego). Relax with a drink or have a BBQ on the beautiful deck overlooking the sand and surf of Moonlight Beach. The coffee maker, toaster and a full kitchen make it easy to whip up breakfast in the ocean view dining or sun room. Grab the beach chairs, beach towels and boogie boards that are provided and walk across the street to the beach. Come back to rinse off in the hot water outdoor shower and throw your beach gear in the outdoor shed. Sit back in the living room with a cozy fire in the wood fireplace and check out the surfers, play a board game or watch your favorite TV show or DVD. Walk to the many restaurants, bars, cafes and the movie theatre nearby. Get some work done on your laptop using the free Wi-Fi service if you can tear yourself away from the beach! It's hard to imagine a more perfect vacation!
You will be a 10 min drive to Legoland and close to many San Diego attractions such as the world famous San Diego Zoo, Seaworld, Del mar beach and other fine San Diego beaches. Cottonwood Creek Park which is voted one of the best parks in San Diego is a five minute walk away! This beach house is walking distance to the train station, which means you can forgo a car completely while vacationing here. In addition to San Diego's many tourist attractions in downtown or Old Town, the Coaster also stops at the Solana Beach train station where you can take a free shuttle to San Diego County Fair or Del Mar Racetrack during the racing season.
This unique house has been updated this spring with a fresh coat of paint, new flooring, new furniture, fine linens(many organic), plush towels and kitchen appliances. The kids also love our house. They get bunk beds, kid size table, books, dvds and games as well as a high chair, pack'n'play and baby gate for the stairs! The house is around 1600 sf. One bedroom with a Queen bed, two baths, the living area with a convertible bed, kitchen, dining room, a charming sunroom and a huge deck(fully enclosed) are upstairs. Two more bedrooms, one with two bunk beds and one with a full bed, one bath and the den (daybed) are downstairs. This is not a condo like many other beach rentals. You have a full house with an ocean view yard that includes a firepit for roasting marshmallows at night!

Why the Owner Chose Encinitas
The first time we visited Encinitas, we fell in love with its vintage California surf and beach culture. It's beautiful and down to earth at the same time. We loved the unpretentious friendly locals, the spiritual and sometime funky feel of it and of course the amazing beaches.
The Unique Benefits at this Beach Cottage
Not only is Moonlight Beach a short walk across the street, but we can also sit on the deck and enjoy watching the surfers and all the beach activities while relaxing. During summer, there are free concerts at the beach that we can hear from the house. At nights, we can see people gather around fire pits and share good times. I love going to sleep with the sounds of the waves and doing yoga on the large deck overlooking the ocean in the morning. We usually walk to Pannikan's or Encinitas Cafe for breakfast before heading out to the beach. At night, downtown Encinitas is packed with activities. When not enjoying a sunset BBQ on our deck, we head out to dinner at one of the many great restaurants there and stop by D Street Bar for a drink or E street Cafe for some fair trade coffee and enjoy local musicians play. A walk through the Self Realization meditation garden with its bluff top gardens and waterfalls can take all the stress in the world away.
Owner's Map of Encinitas
My husband and I both love spending time at the beach. I have great childhood memories when all our summer vacations were spent on the beach, playing, swimming or building sandcastles and I always knew that I wanted to be near the beach for the rest of my life and share the experience with my own kids.
