About this property

Moonlight Seaside Retreat | Oceanfront Living in Encinitas

Welcome to Moonlight Seaside Retreat - a rare oceanfront home in Encinitas with panoramic Pacific views and an unbeatable location just steps from Moonlight Beach and 50ft of ocean frontage. Tucked along one of North County’s most sought-after stretches of coastline, this retreat offers the best of beach living, with easy beach access, multiple outdoor gathering spaces, and endless sunsets over the water.

Spend your mornings walking along the beach, grabbing coffee in downtown Encinitas, or surfing some of San Diego’s most iconic breaks. After a day in the sun, come home to ocean breezes, outdoor dining, and front-row sunset views from your private deck overlooking the Pacific.

Designed for relaxed indoor-outdoor living, the home spans nearly 4,000 square feet across two thoughtfully designed levels. Expansive windows and soaring ceilings fill the main living area with natural light while framing stunning ocean views throughout the home. The spacious living room features a large sectional, fireplace, and oversized 75” Samsung Smart TV - perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.

The ocean-view kitchen is both beautiful and functional, complete with premium Miele appliances, quartz countertops, a Nespresso coffee station, and multiple dining areas designed for gathering together. Floor-to-ceiling doors open to a wraparound oceanfront patio featuring lounge seating, outdoor dining, a built-in BBQ, outdoor refrigerator, outdoor TV, and integrated SONOS sound - creating a seamless space for sunset dinners, entertaining, and soaking in the coastal atmosphere.

The primary suite offers a peaceful ocean-view retreat with direct patio access, a spa-like ensuite bathroom with soaking tub and walk-in shower, and its own washer and dryer. Two additional main-level bedrooms each feature ensuite bathrooms, creating comfort and privacy for families and groups traveling together.

Downstairs, a separate-entry casita provides additional flexibility and privacy, making it ideal for grandparents, extended family, or guests who appreciate their own space. The casita includes two queen beds, a sofa sleeper, fireplace, kitchenette, bathroom, and private outdoor lounge area.

Outdoor living is a highlight of the property, with three separate outdoor spaces designed to take full advantage of the coastal setting. Three outdoor showers make rinsing off after beach days easy, while multiple lounge and dining areas create space to gather, relax, and enjoy the oceanfront setting throughout the day.
