Great experience, perfect for large gatherings. Host was responsive and very accommodating. The place was very spacious and convenient location.

House, inside and out, was spacious, clean, and reasonably equipped. The enclosed yard was perfect for family entertaining. The kitchen, although spacious, was lacking in some essential tools, such as a cutting board. The bedrooms were very nice. The one exception was the upstairs master bedroom, which did not have a bathroom door! Common areas were very comfortable and easily accommodated all of us. The location was perfect! All in all, this is a very comfortable and convenient house for large groups. The owner was very responsive and very nice!

The property was exactly what we needed. We ran into a couple of issues with the dishwasher and the entry codes but the owner was very responsive. The owner is very kind and engaging. Highly recommend it. The address is a bit confusing as it isn't on the street in the address but in the cross street.

I rented this for my wife's 50th birthday weekend. The property is awesome, the location and surrounding area is great and it all helped make for the very best weekend possible.
The property manager was accessible immediately for any questions or concerns.
The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking supplies. Appliances and bbq grill all worked fine. The ladies all really liked that they had their own bathrooms. It was a great place for our kids ranging 6-13. Good amount of parking available for all the families. I cannot specify enough how much we all loved staying at this property. It is the PERFECT place for a family and/or friends gathering.

Love the beach
Overall great stay with a good amount of space. Our rental included both floors. Upstairs - larger master, twin bunk room, queen room with en-suite, queen “pass through room” The pass-through room give you access to the backyard which is shared. Downstairs has smaller master, 4 twins bunk room with en-suite, one queen with en-suite and another queen bedroom. Very nice bathroom to bedroom set ups. Laundry both up and down. Both kitchens were well stocked. Parking for 4-5 cars. The big win to this property is the beach and all the goodies available to use. The beach is a short walk (even with babies) and the house provides wagons, towels, toys, small boards etc. we didn’t need to add a thing to enjoy our time at the beach. When we reached out to the owner with a concern it was handled immediately even when it was out of owners control.

Great location. Well furnished. Would highly recommend if wanting to stay in Encinitas.
The booking was exactly what we thought we were getting. Really enjoyed getting to stay here with plenty of beds so the whole party slept comfortably.
The place was mostly clean when we got there.
The beach is a 5 minute walk away so it is very well located.

Incredible Vacation Rental!
We had the best time staying in this home. The location cannot be beat! You are so close to the beach as well as our favorite places to eat on the 101. We walked everywhere!
The home itself is perfect for families. We had kids at all ages and it was so nice to have the bunk rooms as well as plenty of bedrooms for couples. Loved that we had two family rooms as well-kids could watch a movie in one, adults in the other!
The home has two fabulous patios that were basically added living spaces-we loved it out there. Tons of towels, two wagons, and beach toys as well.
None of us wanted to leave. Rebecca was wonderful to work with and we can’t wait to book again!

50th Anniversary Celebration
This property was perfect for our party. The location was great, the beach provided hours of entertainment, and the town was close and very walkable. Everyone of our guests was extremely happy with the place. The nice, big, well equipped kitchen was the center of lots of great meals.

Great Family House
We had a great time at this duplex. We go on an annual family vacation and need a large space to accommodate our large group of adults and children (ranging from infant to 7 years old). It is really difficult to find a place big enough, but this place delivered. All the adults had their own bedroom and bathroom and even the kids had their own rooms. There were also toys and wagons for the kids to use and it made traveling to much easier. It was a close walk to the beach (even with 8 kids) and we walked to 2 separate playgrounds the kids loved. I would definitely recommend for large families looking for kid friendly accommodations!

Beach vacation
This is a great location for a large family. Walking distance to the beach and downtown areas. Only reason for overall 4 stars is the lack of some kitchen items-only 1 set of hot mitts for the 2 kitchens and no dish towels that we could find. Also, the knives are horrible and there aren't many coffee cups. Otherwise fantastic and many beach amenities are provided-kids' sand buckets, boogie board, chairs, and beach towels.

Moonlight Beach Retreat
Our group found Rebecca and her Moonlight Beach VRBO a wonderful experience! The place was clean, beautifully updated with a lot of beach equipment available for us to use! Rebecca was available and responded quickly to any concerns we had. I would highly recommend staying here!

Quality choice
Our family had a great time, quick walk to the beach, great food like NAPIZZA and shopping. The property comes with a couple chairs so you don’t have to over pack there. Only complaint is really the train but the noise isn’t even terrible would definitely recommend.

Great location for large families
We had multiple families celebrating Christmas together in San Diego and we really enjoyed the duplex aspect since we had two babies with us. It let the families with the young children have a quiet separate space and adults that stayed up later had another place to hang out. The location can't be beat. It was great to make a cup of coffee and walk down to the beach to drink it in the morning. We also walked all throughout the neighborhoods, the main street in Encinitas as well as up and down Moonlight Beach and Swami's. The inside of the house is newly renovated and everything was very clean. Everyone had beds that were comfy, no one needed to sleep on a sofa or air mattress and they provided Pack n' Plays for infants, which was appreciated! The exterior of the house could use some love for the price point: ie loose carpeting on the stairs to the upper unit which people slipped on, cushions on patio furniture were dirty and completely torn to the stuffing and we weren't able to sit on them. But all in all, we had a wonderful stay. Rebecca was great to work with--always quick to respond and easy to get in touch with. This is by far the best option for large groups this close to the beach. I would highly recommend this rental!

Beautiful home
We had a wonderful time with our family! The inside of the house was spectacular. Only negative thing I can say is the railing on the outside stairs is rusting away and we almost had a family member fall down the stairs because of it. The cement on the stairs is also crumbling away. So as long as people stay off the back stairs All is perfect ☺️

Very convenient to beach. Rebecca responded to small issues quickly
All 16 of us had a wonderful time. The only disappointment was the dining table and the benches instead of chairs. Chairs would’ve been more comfortable. We all spent most of our time downstairs and spent a lot of time sitting at the table. The outside of the building could use some trees or color or landscaping to look more impressive. It is really a great place to stay and highly recommend it to others

Perfect property for a large group
We travelled as a group of 16 (5 adults, 11 children) and had a great stay. The property is perfect for large groups having many separate bedrooms including a couple of 'bunk bed' rooms. There are large living areas and kitchens, as well as private garden spaces. The property also has off-road parking space for about 4 cars. The property is just a few minutes walk from the beach, and a few minutes drive from the main roads. The owner, Rebecca, is very helpful and pleasant and resolved a minor problem we had in the same day that we contacted her. All in all we had a fantastic stay and I can definitely recommend this property.

Very clean & updated interior finishes, well located to Moonlight Beach.
Overall we had a great experience, as we rented both the bottom flat and the top flat for a one week family vacation of 16 adults & kids. The interior of each home was clean and modern, and the patio is more spacious on the bottom unit than for the top unit. Parking is very easy for large SUVs and trucks, and the location/walk to Moonlight Beach is approx. 7-10 minutes depending on your urgency. Overall a great experience for a large group wanting to be in Encinitas.

Beautifully updated home. Extremely comfortable beds and super clean.
I hosted a yoga retreat in Encinitas using the beach house for our home base. The two units were perfect to accommodate my guests, with room to spare! The kitchen had everything I needed to cook for 10 people. The proximity to the beach and heart of Encinitas is the icing on the cake. Rebecca was so accommodating and even allowed me to check out the home before booking. Highly recommend this home!!

My group of 14 rented the entire house for the Breeders Cup. 5 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and conveniently located hallway bathrooms for the others. This is a nice home and I'd love to stay there again on another trip.

Great place for a family reunion!
We loved staying here for a family reunion last week. The house was perfect for our large group (we rented both) and had everything we needed- beach towels, sand toys, cookware etc. Rebecca was great to work with and we would love to come here again! Thank you!

a lovely stay in the old-fashioned surf town of encinitas. my husband and i just
returned from a perfect week at the ocean thanks to moonlight place. as soon as we entered the door, we were delighted by the gorgeous new furnishings, magazine worthy, unlike any rental we've ever visited. we stayed upstairs at "the FLAT" - it was roomy, open, and full of light. both bedrooms have brand new mattresses, linens, spreads and pillows. what a treat. the apartment is not new, but the amenities make it feel luxurious. brand new fluffy white towels in the 2 bathrooms and a chocolate on the pillow. delightful! so convenient to have a washer/dryer for the wet towels which were also provided. the town of encinitas feels like you've stepped back to a simpler, slower time. but with lots of modern, delicious restaurants. be sure to visit bull taco across the 101. we went there several nights in a row. whole foods is also within walking distance and there's a farmers market on the weekend. an easy walk to the beach for swimming and enjoying the sunsets and surfers. next time we will take advantage of the generous bike offer at concept. thank you for a magical stay. and lots of room to park. we will be back.

I stayed in the Flat which is the lower unit with my 2 kids and my sister, her husband and their 2 kids. It worked out perfectly for us. We each had our own room and then the 4 cousins shared the bunk room and had a great time. it worked out great for 2 families. The bathrooms could be awkward with 2 families because they are not connected to bedrooms, so we just made a "boys" bathroom and a "girls" bathroom and problem solved. The beach is a short walk away and by the end of the week, we were just sending the kids down on their own. The beach is great with volleyball courts and a reasonably priced snack bar. Our kids loved the acai bowls and went down every day to order their bowl for the day. We decided to stay a week longer and the owner moved us up to the upper unit because it was vacant and only our family. It was great. When the waves were strong, you could hear the ocean from the master bedroom window. There was a private place to BBQ in both units which we did every night. I would definitely stay here again.

I was very impressed with the lower unit. There were 10 of us and it was quite comfortable, roomy, clean and and close walk to the beach. There was plenty of parking which was a huge plus for us and we enjoyed using the bbq in the evenings. Very centrally located to beach/shops/ restaurants. We loved Lofty Coffee just around the corner and walked there each morning for breakfast.
