Inn at Moonlight Beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for three nights over Presidents Day weekend. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the grounds and gardens are full of little surprises. We especially liked sitting on our porch watching the sun set. It is also within walking distance of the beach and many Encinitas restaurants. The staff is very responsive and accommodating and we couldn’t imagine a better place to stay in this area, particularly for those who prefer a smaller more intimate experience. We look forward to returning especially after COVID restrictions when we can enjoy all that the Inn has to offer. Highly recommended.

An Inn with integrity. They are a wellness conscience establishment which is clear in every detail. There is thoughtful consideration every where. A place to soothe your soul with the pleasure of tranquility. However, it is never stuffy. Staff is friendly and welcoming in a discreet way. I return time and time again. If I had my way the beds would be higher profile. Very low profile limits some desirable hotel activities. ;)

It was amazing!! I slept like a baby from how silent and calm the environment was. The room was very beautiful. The people here were also very caring and I do not have one single bad thing to say about the service because it was perfect! One of the best get away places.

very fun eco amenities - both complimentary and for sale. Art supplies, beach supplies, yoga supplies, all up for grabs anytime. I got the cheapest room with no balcony or add ons but it still felt like an oasis with bath soaks, aromatherapy, sound machine, and candles. All the complimentary snacks and drinks were great too. Very pretty and serene grounds although it is a bit loud at night (they provide earphones and sound machine). Would stay again

This is a unique bed and breakfast with a major emphasis on wellness and self-care. It as a “Zen” feel about it. Beyond the spa treatments, meditation and yoga that are officered other places, you are encouraged to pick from the small, onsite organic garden. There is a place for rock painting and selecting from a nursey of small plants for you to take home. There is herbal tea and small snacks in the afternoon instead of the wine and cheese offered at many other bed and breakfasts. The breakfasts of muffins, fruit, boiled eggs and overnight oats delivered to your room were excellent. The staff is exceptionally nice and very helpful. While we did not take advantage of all the offerings, we had a pleasant and restful stay. A few caveats, though. The Inn is very near a railway and the Encinitas station is two-three blocks away. The Inn has done a good job of sound insulation, including triple-pane windows. Nonetheless, we heard the train whistles and some railway noise, especially the express trains warning passengers at the station to step back. It was fine with the deck door closed but sometimes loud with the door open or on the deck. It did not interrupt our sleep, and they provided ear plugs if you needed them. Our room was large and comfortable. The website pictures, however, were a bit misleading. The pictures were taken on a bright, sunny day. The weather during our stay was mostly cloudy, so the Inn was much darker than it appeared in the pictures. The pictures were also taken before a modification to at least our room (Sage). The in-wall heater/air conditioner was replaced with a floor model in the corner vented to the outside. As a result, the couch/pull-out bed protruded into the deck door area and left only about half of the door width for going in and out. It also lessened the aesthetic appeal of the room. In our view, the room should have had a shorter couch and sacrificed the pull-out bed.

Just wrapped up an incredible stay at the Inn at Moonlight Beach with my wife, and let me tell you, it was a breath of fresh air! The vibe here is serene and inviting, instantly melting away the chaos of everyday life. We started our journey with some on-site massages that were pure magic—an experience that left us feeling rejuvenated and centered. Then we dove into a succulent class, which turned out to be a delightful way to connect with nature and flex our creative muscles. The staff was passionate and knowledgeable, making it a joy to learn. My Succulent pot turned out dope and I am excited to see it grow. My wife took more than her allotment of gem stones, but the staff were gracious and didn’t make her feel bad. lol The gardens are a visual feast, and the easy access to the beach invites endless inspiration. This place is truly a hidden gem—a sanctuary for anyone seeking peace and relaxation. If you’re in need of a getaway that feeds the soul, I can’t recommend it enough. We’re already dreaming of our return!
