The Inn at Moonlight Beach is a peaceful little paradise just a few blocks from the beach. Our stay was the most relaxing we had in a very long time! The Inn is a wellness center running on 90% solar energy, harvesting their own fruits and erbs, and serving a delicious, farm to table healthy breakfast to your door every morning. We'll definitely go back!

This was one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in quite awhile. First, I always seek out rooms with kitchenettes which these rooms have. The garden setting is so serene and close walk to Moonlight Beach and downtown Encinitas is ideal. This hotel goes above and beyond with so many little touches from afternoon and evening to, welcoming you to your room with candles, treats, and tea. Then herbal bath and spa robes and the most amazing breakfast delivered to your door in a cute picnic basket. They also have fun activities for the kids like rock painting, art night, and garden harvesting. Truly a special place!

We had such a wonderful and peaceful stay here. The rooms are serene, the grounds are beautifully kept, and the staff was sweet and accommodating. When we arrived, there was a pot of tea waiting for us, as well as a vase of flowers and little tea lights flickering all over our room. Yes, it's near the train crossing, but with the white noise machine blowing ocean sounds and the triple pane windows shut, you really don't hear any of that. Would 100% return!
