Gorgeous, Prime location close to the beach

this house was a great home for our large family to stay in - lots of space to spread out from the first floor casita to the three upstairs bedrooms. the flexibility to prepare our own meals and have space to spread out inside and outside was wonderful. Very close to walk down to Moonlight Beach- Garage offered a parking spot plus the driveway allowed for up to two more. Great location to beach and to walk to ice cream each night.

Amazing house!

I grew up in Encinitas and stayed for a staycation with visiting relatives. This house is one my family and I had always wanted to stay and it was incredible and the views were amazing. Although there is no AC there around tons of fans in the house and usually the beach breeze circulates air well. Thank you so much for a great stay!

Location cannot be beat...

Had a great stay with family in this home. The location and weather were fabulous. This house accommodates large groups well and an abundance of beach supplies/toys/towels was appreciated. The property is well maintained but not new and the character of some appliances requires a bit of patience. Views from the kitchen, deck and patio are just unbeatable. The ocean waves can be heard clearly (especially at night) and are just great. Coordination with management was hit-and-miss. Adequate cleaning and kitchen supplies were a bit hard to come by.

Amazing Property, Amazing Location, Amazing Views

This is an easy review. Everything was top notch, first class. Yes, it's expensive, but in this case, you get what you pay for. The management company was easy to communicate with and had everything handled. Easy check in/out, no long laundry list of wash the windows, mow the grass, do all the laundry, or other bs I've seen with other places. We loaded the dishwasher, tidied up, and left. Easy peasy. The place is fabulous, well maintained, spacious, and has a very luxurious feel. We had friends come over for dinner. They've been summering in the area for over 20 years and they were blown away by the sweeping views and generous rooms. We've stayed at beach fronts high on the cliffs with torturous stairs down to the beach. Not here. Easy walk 5 houses down the street and wammo, you're on the beach. Easy back and forth to the house if you forgot something. The beach stretches far in both directions so long beach walks are easy. Being right next to Moolight beach was a positive for us. Lots of good people watching, waking up to kids squealing in delight playing in the surf, etc. Don't know if I would want to live that close to all the activity but for a weeks vacation it was delightful. No a/c in the house but lots of fans. We opened the doors and windows and never found ourselves hot. Close access to everything including the interstate. 5 stars for sure. Be sure and watch for dolphins, we saw several pods...

GREAT HOME IN A GREAT LOCATION

We travel to California every year with Friends & Family. This home, location, beach & town have been our favorite one over the last 5 years. Plenty of space in the home with great views! Plenty of towels, beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards were really nice additions. The local area/restaurants were also great. We will definitely be back.

Moonlight Beach Magic

With school right around the corner and a birthday celebration to be had, we pulled the trigger on an amazing stay at Moonlight Beach. We had a large family of 13 that we fit into this home and it had plenty of space for everyone. The views of the beach from the kitchen made the chore of washing dishes very enjoyable. Whether relaxing in the living room with the super comfortable couch or enjoying the ocean breeze from the back patio, you were enjoying a slice of heaven on earth. The location was the best, steps away from the beach but also walking distance to some great food and fun stores along the coast highway. Our family enjoyed our stay and we will be back for sure!

Incredible Vacation

From start to finish all 12 family members had an incredible stay at this ocean front beach house. The Surf Style managers made arrival and checkout very smooth, we enjoyed being so close to Moonlight beach for our kids, and the house itself was simply amazing. We plan to return next year.

Encinitas

Beautiful view, quiet neighborhood. Very nice beach nearby, and easy to walk into town. I'm guessing the home is not very active during the winter rental season, so we incurred a few minor maintenance issues - thus the 4 star rating.

Wow! Our stay could not have been better! Great updated house with everything you need, and the location is amazing. We walked down to the beach each day with the kids- it was so easy. Tons of beach stuff included. And the outdoor shower made it super easy to rinse everyone off afterward. The ocean views are beautiful with a great patio ambiance. Literally loved this place!

I'm in love with the design, furniture, and decor!! It is definately an upgrade to your typical vacation rental. Our kids already miss Moonlight Beach, which is where we wanted to be. My husband & I miss waking up to ocean views and already can't wait to come back next year. Thank you again to Surf Style Vacation Homes, they were very helpful!
