Hotels near Moonlight State Beach Encinitas

"Love moonlight beach motel! Amazing location in the heart of Encinitas."

"So peaceful! The room was so airy and comfortable, we loved relaxing on the hammock and the delicious breakfasts. Would highly recommend for a relaxing retreat!"

"This place was very clean the staff was very nice and close to the beach will definitely stay here again "

"Older car motel with a few quirks and a pretty courtyard to relax at the end of the day. There's plenty of options to eat within walking distance or a short drive to Encinitas. If you are a light sleeper beware the train goes by several times a night and can be loud, otherwise quite location to relax."

"I spent 4 nights at The Inn at Moonlight Beach and I was still not ready to leave! Every morning I took a nice long stroll down Moonlight beach, and stopped off for coffee at Lofty. A wonderful breakfast basket was waiting for me when I returned with fresh fruit, a chia seed parfait and green juice. I stayed in Sweet Bay, which had nice high ceilings, a comfortable bed, a mini kitchen and a large soaking tub. All of the touches were so well thought out. I loved the sound machine with the sound...

"We loved our stay here and would come back again! The property seems newly renovated and has a quaint, clean pool for use. The front desk staff is very kind and helpful. There is a small continental breakfast bar with cereals, oatmeal, coffee/tea, and breads. Stonesteps beach is less than a 5 minute walk, and other beaches are within a 10 minute walk, and it's right in the middle of Leucadia so restaurants and anything else you could want is walkable. Highly recommend!"

"Stayed a night with wife and son after LEGOLAND. Very close to the park, great staff, they were very helpful. Parking is free but does fill up quick at night. Rooms were clean and spacious. Breakfast was included and was really good! Overall it was a great experience and would stay again 10/10 times."

"Great value, especially if you're travelling without a dog. Convenient location for travelers. Lot's of kids heading to Lego Land. Quiet nonetheless. Tightly run, high quality, recent build (stayed in 2026). Their premium for dogs was high, so that's a knock. Added 35% to the nightly fee."

"Totally wonderful and recommend!"
