A very romantic room, big bed and a sitting-shower for two persons. The breakfast was nice but exiguous! We didn't meet Ann and the dog! We went with the coaster to San Diego and had a wunderful day! In the evening we had a great dinner at the Third Corner in Encinitas!

My family and I had a lovely mini vacation at the Inn at Moonlight Beach. Ann & Terry were wonderful hosts. We stayed in the Beach Suite which could accommodate three comfortably. Each morning there was a delicious breakfast of homemade croissants and other baked goods that Ann prepared. It was the perfect location. Not in a busy area. Quiet... More

We needed to use a golf voucher, and looked for a pleasant place to have dinner and walk the beach. Our experience at the Inn was much better than the golf! Rained out the first day, we bundled up and walked in the storm. We had the beach to ourselves, and had a marvelous dinner in town. Returning to our... More

The Inn at Moonlight Beach was a pleasant getaway with added benefits of the comforts of home. Clean, cozy, & unique. The location is also the best of both worlds; tucked away in a quiet area, yet walking distance to many restaurants & the ocean. The breakfast was DELICIOUS! Homemade baked goods made the nightly price well worth the cost..... More

First I must admit that this is the first B & B we’ve stayed at in a while and we are used to the customer service level of 4-5 star resorts. We used to stay at B & B’s quite a bit before children and since our son was off at camp we were able to consider a B &... More

The Inn at Moonlight Beach provided a great setting for our (small) family meet-up. Cozy and inviting. After a long day sight-seeing we returned to find the common area lit with candles and Enya on the stereo. It was a very nice atmosphere for our Whole Foods take-out one night and simply tea and conversation the next. I would echo... More

The Inn was lovely, private, romantic, and peaceful. We stayed in the Penthouse and enjoyed the hot tub and delicious breakfasts on our deck. The decor was warm and inviting, well kept and clean. Extras such as wireless internet and ice cubes were available. The hummingbirds were plentiful and beautiful. The train was there but in this my first visit... More

This is probably the best place to stay in Encinitas, but I have one complaint. I wish they'd renovate the bathrooms. Even little fixes like new shower heads & faucets would help.
