Top Encinitas Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Comfy bed. Big and clean room."

Inn at Moonlight Beach

10/10 Excellent

"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."

Beautiful Oceanfront Home, Gorgeous Views, Deck and Patio! Best Value!

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful property, overlooking the ocean. The deck is large so that we could all enjoy views of the ocean and spectacular sunsets. The house is roomy, well appointed and comfortable, kitchen is well stocked with all the necessary appliances and spices. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are clean and modern.We had our family reunion here and couldn’t ask for anything more! I’m sure we will return."
