This was perfect for our pets. Very nice location and having the garage was very nice. Only issue was the the tub in the master bathroom did not drain very quickly at all. Nothing that some DranO or a plumbers snake could not take care of. Overall everything was great though.

We loved our stay by the beach!
We were very happy with our stay. We loved that the beach was a quick stroll away. The beach gear was so nice to have, beach cruisers were an added bonus. Everything was well cared for and convenient. Would definitely come again!
Beautiful place with all the right amenities. Set up well with lots of beach toys and goodies. Quick, easy communication. Right near beach and great places to eat. Would absolutely stay here again and again.

Perfect Location!
My family and I stayed in this home for a wedding and the location could not have been more perfect...short walking distance to the beach and downtown Encinitas. The home was clean, inviting, and exactly what we were hoping for (thanks for providing hair dryers!) We absolutely loved the beautiful and private courtyard! I would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting a relaxing beach vacation right in Encinitas!

Went for a quick weekend getaway. Instructions and getting in were super easy. Lots of thoughtful touches and amenities on the inside to make for an easy weekend. Location is perfect, can get to beach and anywhere in town easily by walking. Outside patio is great too. Really great place. Thanks!

Thank you, Eric. We like to make it feel like home so I'm happy you felt that way!
We rented this house for a mini-reunion - and it was the perfect size, perfect location and perfect setting for our group of 50 year old college friends and some of our kids. Plenty of space to relax, catch up, share meals - or walk to shops, the beach or coffee. Directions and communications were clear and helpful - nice and thoughtful touches throughout the property made it a perfect weekend (or even longer) retreat.

Marianne- Thank you for choosing MoonlightBeachGetaway for your mini reunion. Good friends are the best!
Spent 5 days and made years of memories. Weather was not on our side but we loved it anyhow. Location was amazing and the house was all we needed for our family of 4. We will definitely come back in the warmer months and hope this house is available.
We had such a relaxing, quiet, fun stay at this lovely, well-kept beach cottage snuggled right in the hear of Encinitas. Great house with happy vibes for our family of 5 with a fully-stocked kitchen. The owners have thought of everything! The host was quick to reply and thoughtful about our stay -- welcoming us and responding to any questions. The location cannot be beat - stroll to the beach or dinner, walk to your morning coffee at Lofty and the best is falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves. We can't wait to stay again!

Thank you, W & M- Glad you got to enjoy all of the things we love about the house and its location. Hope to have you back again this summer.
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!
We wanted a family trip close to the beach where we could relax together. My husband and I have 2 young children ages 5 and 2. The proximity to moonlight beach is great. We went to the playground there with the kids multiple times a day. The house is fully stocked. Nothing was needed. You can tell the owners of the rental property take pride in their house. We felt very welcome

This home is fantastic! Beautifully appointed and everything you need is provided for cooking. It is also so nice to have things like paper towels, Kleenex, shampoo, and other personal items provided. The location is perfect! Close to the beach and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Renee is wonderful and very helpful in all her communications. The beds were very comfortable and the baths spacious.

Thank you! Happy to assist our guests and we offer early or late check in/out if available. We live locally so we are "hands on" when needed with special requests or recommendations as well.
We selected this property for its location and layout. The correct number and size of beds is always important for our family of 5.
The property manager’s instructions were prompt and well organized. The house itself has such helpful amenities (lots of beach towels, outdoor shower with hot water, soft clean linens, kitchen with many items for preparing meals.)
We were so happy with the walkable location to the beach and restaurants. While we did have a rental car, it got to spend a lot of time in the nice clean garage.
Thanks for a great stay Renee!
