Charming Beach Cottage Overlooking Moonlight Beach in Encinitas

VERY reasonably priced at $2000 a week for summer and $1500/week or $4000/month for off peak season! Don't forget San Diego is beautiful during September and October and the crowds are gone!  Please see guest comments at the very bottom and check availability online.

Renovated, cheerful and bright beach cottage only a few steps to Moonlight Beach. Relax with a drink or have a BBQ on the beautiful deck overlooking the sand and surf of Moonlight Beach. The coffee maker, toaster and a full kitchen make it easy to whip up breakfast in the ocean view dining or sun room. Grab the beach chairs, beach towels and boogie boards that are provided and walk across the street to the beach. Come back to rinse off in the hot water outdoor shower and throw your beach gear in the outdoor shed. Sit back in the living room with a cozy fire in the wood fireplace and check out the surfers, play a board game or watch your favorite TV show or DVD. Walk to the many restaurants, bars, cafes and the movie theatre nearby. Get some work done on your laptop using the free Wi-Fi service if you can tear yourself away from the beach! It's hard to imagine a more perfect vacation!

A few minute walk to Moonlight Beach, voted best family, singles and body surfing beach in San Diego and Cottonwood Creek Park voted the best park! You will be a 10 min drive to Legoland and close to many San Diego attractions such as the world famous San Diego Zoo, Seaworld, Del mar beach and other fine San Diego beaches. This beach house is walking distance to the train station, which means you can forgo a car completely while vacationing here. In addition to San Diego's many tourist attractions in downtown or Old Town, the Coaster also stops at the Solana Beach train station where you can take a free shuttle to San Diego County Fair or Del Mar Racetrack during the racing season. 

This unique house has been updated this spring with a fresh coat of paint, new flooring, new furniture, fine linens(many organic), plush towels and kitchen appliances The house is around 1600 sf. One bedroom with a Queen bed, two baths, the living area with a convertible bed, kitchen, dining room, a charming sunroom and a huge deck are upstairs. Two more bedrooms, one with two bunk beds and one with a full bed, one bath and the den (daybed) are downstairs. This is not a condo like many other beach rentals. You have a full house with an ocean view yard that includes a firepit for roasting marshmallows at night! The kids also love our house. They get bunk beds, kid size table, books, dvds and games as well as a high chair, pack'n'play and baby gate for the stairs!

We have priced this property very competitively, so don't miss out and be ready to have an unforgettable time at our cottage by the sea.

  • This was our first time staying in the Encinitas area and we loved it. The area is not a high tourist area and is much more like living like the locals, which we prefer. The house far exceeded our expectations with lots of space and a great view of the beach. The walk down to the beach only took about 5 minutes. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed including beach towells and chairs. The owners of the home were very accomodating. We can't wait to stay again next year!

    Your place was a pleasure to live in for a week. We can see that you put a lot of love into creating it. Thank you for putting in the baby gate. That really was a help!

  • We had a small family reunion and this was the perfect place for it. The range of our age group was between 12 to sixty. A block from the beach it provided a very desirable location for all of us, with possibility of many activities, restaurants and shops. A very charming beach house, clean and well taken care of. The weather was perfect too:) Shahri

  • We had a great stay at your place. The location was very convenient (beach, playground, shops, outlet mall, Legoland, La Jolla) and the cottage was very charming, clean and well-stocked. We will have wonderful memories of spending hours at the beach(thanks for the boogie boards!) during the day and roasting marshmallows and sitting on the deck by the nights. Simply beautiful!

  • We stayed here on our last trip to CA. The location is amazing; our favorite thing to do was BBQ on the deck and watch the sunset. The location is great; close to the shops and very close to the beach. The house was very clean and the landlords were very easy to work with. We would definitely stay here again.
