"The deck and view were worth the travel and cost. The second floor bathroom had an ant invasion that was annoying. But the worst thing was the stairway to the beach. We are older and the 300 or so steps were very difficult and broken in places. That should have been included in the original description. The house was very hot when we first arricved, but one day later and a visit from a handyman who repaired the protable AC unit, it finally cooled down. No excuse for that. otherwais, The house was very nicxe but ciulds use some cosmetic maintenance."

"I've visited Encinitas many times over the years, but staying at the Inn at Moonlight Beach was a uniquely uplifting experience. It felt like a stay at an ashram: peaceful, meditative, and deeply rejuvenating. The details make all the difference. Upon arrival, a small selection of dried fruit with herbs from the inn's own garden and a pot of hot herbal tea were waiting in the room. The room itself was spacious, with an outdoor space facing the garden, which is lit at night with a soft, almost surreal glow. Everything is thoughtfully designed to make you feel welcome and a world away from the hustle of the outside world."
