Inn at Moonlight Beach

The ultimate relaxation spot. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was so peaceful and calming. It's truly so beautiful, quiet, and soothing. It’s more than just hotel it’s a wellness sanctuary. If you’re looking for a stunning, relaxing getaway in Encinitas to recharge your soul, this is it. The moment I arrived there was wellness tea and healthy treats in my room, a beautiful relaxing bath set up, ocean waves playing on a sound machine, and I was greeted with so much hospitality and kind energy. I can’t wait to go back! It was the peaceful escape I truly needed. Highly recommend for anyone needing a little reset.

Wheni arrived at the Inn at Moonlight Beach, it felt less like checking into a hotel and more like stepping into a place designed for stillness and reset. From the moment I arrived, everything encouraged me to slow down. My breath, my pace, even my thoughts. The space is beautifully simple and intentional. Natural light, clean lines have created an atmosphere that felt grounding rather than indulgent. Cafés and shops are nearby, the Inn itself felt peaceful and held apart from the usual noise. There are beautiful pockets of serenity in the garden and throughout the property. The staff were warm and attentive without being intrusive, which added to the sense of ease. Nothing felt rushed or transactional. It was simply a place where I could be. I left feeling rested, clear, and recalibrated. If you’re looking for more than just a comfortable stay—if you’re seeking space to pause, reflect, and reconnect—I would wholeheartedly recommend the Inn at Moonlight Beach.

Definitely recommend going on weekdays because I imagine it would feel more worth it. I went on the weekend and felt the value wasn’t all the way there, since it is, at the end of the day, a 3 star hotel, but I felt like I was paying for a 4/5 star hotel with the weekend rates. There are many thoughtful touches and the ethos of the Inn is really unique and well-intentioned. I stayed in the Garden Suite and felt disappointed particularly by the bathroom cleanliness, it could use a renovation and it is not well ventilated. My massage with Yumi was a highlight for sure. The staff was nice , but felt they could’ve been more thoughtful and accountable. Someone misplaced my breakfast order and I got it sorted but did not receive an apology. I need breakfast for my medication so felt that was a miss. Also, the room rate includes breakfast for two but they didn’t mention that to me, so I had to go out of my way to ask if I could get that extra serving (so I can save it for lunch). The breakfast itself is fine, I was expecting more based on the reviews, but it’s mostly simple stuff. Also want to note the inn is RIGHT NEXT to the train station and it was really hard to sleep at night. They provide nice ear plugs but I hate sleeping with ear plugs. Didn’t get very good rest sadly. There is also a lack of diversity overall in Encinitas, which I want to note if that’s important to you.

Head the most wonderful stay at the inn at moonlight beach! Each detail was thoughtfully appointed, from the welcome tea upon arrival, to the morning breakfast baskets, to the meditation area. The room was cozy and had everything needed. A little zen oasis that was perfect for grounding and recharging. Can't wait to return.

This place is wonderful. Everything is done with such care and thought, and they make you feel involved in caring for the earth and environment. The breakfast baskets are delicious and wholesome, the coffee great, and the grounds are lovely. Yes, you can hear the traffic but I found it fades away. Yes, it’s expensive but take advantage of the communal spaces; they feel secluded and private like a secret garden. The tub and sachets are blissful, and the bed so comfy. It’s truly a special place. I hate to leave!

Took a weekend trip here for a friends birthday and fell in love! From the moment we checked in to check out everything was so serene, peaceful, and refreshing. The staff is so nice (Olivia, Stefanie & Andrea) and are there to answer all of your questions and even give some recommendations on local activities. The proximity to the town (restaurants, cafes, shops) and the beach make this a 10/10 - but you wouldn’t even need to leave if you wanted a nice oasis! There’s so much flora y fauna on the prob, comfy seating around, your private balconies, warm tea available all day, and the lovely breakfast they deliver every morning is chefs kiss. Few things that I LOVE that are offered here: 1. You get to forage! There’s all kinds of herbs, fruits & veggies you get to take home (peppers, strawberries, pomegranates, mint, thyme, lavender the list goes on!) 2. They have free (and paid) arts & crafts to dig into your creative side 3. There’s a fire pit on site ! 4. There’s more activities that will feed your spirit, mind, soul & body It’s a perfect place to disconnect from the world and tune into your inner self. I can’t wait to come back.

Our stay at the Inn at Moonlight Beach was absolutely wonderful — it’s one of those rare places that instantly makes you feel calm and grounded. The whole atmosphere is peaceful and full of good energy, with a beautiful herb and flower garden that you can actually pick from. Everything feels alive and connected to nature. In the morning, they deliver a healthy organic breakfast right to your room in the most charming little basket — everything is fresh, nourishing, and beautifully presented. You can enjoy it on your patio surrounded by the scent of lavender and rosemary from the garden. There’s also a lovely boutique shop on-site filled with unique local items — organic honey, oils, teas, and natural self-care products that perfectly match the vibe of the inn. It’s clear that so much thought and care goes into every detail here. The Inn at Moonlight Beach isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a rejuvenating experience that nourishes both body and mind. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to come back. 🌙✨

Had a staycation at the moonlight inn and let’s just say me and my husband will definitely be back ! We just had a baby 2 months ago so we just needed one night to relax , we booked a couples massage which was hands down the most relaxing massage ever . Our room had white noise playing , candles lit and everything we needed for our stay to be as comfortable as possible. The hosts here are just amazing ! They let you know all of the amenities that are free for guest and extra accommodations that you can add on to your stay ! A great place to relax and set back from reality a bit! And what really made the stay special is they bring your breakfast in a basket to your front door so you can have breakfast outside your balcony or in the bed ! An overall amazing place to stay

Beautiful location right near the water! You can walk down to the beach easily and pass by the downtown restaurants and cafes. The honey and olive oil tasting was exquisite. The grounds are gorgeous and the hotel inn feels very intentional in their decor, offerings, and energy. The staff is kind and truly helpful. I would come back any day!

So small private and personal! We loved it! Breakfast left outside our front door in a picnic basket Wes a special touch. The flower tea bath was also an

This place was a little oasis of zen and calm tucked in a cute little corner of Encinitas. My friends and I came here for a 30th birthday and the vibes were RIGHT!!! The owner did a lovely little olive oil and honey infusion tasting, she was so sweet, and the whole experience from beginning to end was graced with little charms and intentional touches. I highly recommend the Well loved packages.. SO SWEEEEET we will be back

My stay at the Inn at Moonlight was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I arrived, everything felt calm, welcoming, and perfectly peaceful. The atmosphere is serene -- tucked away just enough to feel private, yet close to everything you might need.

Had the most wonderful stay at the inn at moonlight beach! Each detail was thoughtfully appointed, from the welcome tea upon arrival, the morning breakfast baskets, to the meditation area. A little zen oasis that was perfect for grounding and recharging. Can't wait to return.

What a charming little place! We normally stay at L'Auberge in Del Mar, but wanted a change of scenery and this place did not disappoint. The entire property has a zen garden ambiance that you feel when you enter the driveway. Every corner is a unique space to get in touch with your inner calm. They have meditation corners, frog sanctuary, lettuce garden, painting supplies, gardening activities, and there's probably more that I can't remember. We got a basic room that is spacious with a memory foam bed. Even though it's next to the train tracks, it was quiet all night. I slept like a baby (which isn't typical for me) so we'll definitely be coming back!

I came here for my baby moon & it was quite perfect! I loved the rooms & the location, it really felt like we were traveling far away but it was only an hour drive for us from LA / OC. We've been to Encinitas many times but never stayed a place like this - I love how private and secluded it feels but it's walking distance to the restaurants & the beach. The Sage room was phenomenal, I loved the Japanese art work & the kitchen was so convenient. I love how they welcome you with wellness tea, it's definitely something I drank a lot of while I was here & made me feel really great As a pregnant person, I can't say how amazing it is that all the water throughout is filtered so you can drink the water from the faucets and shower. Lastly, I'm so impressed by the breakfast that gets delivered in the cutest little picnic basket. It was delicious and the perfect amount of food.

My experience at Moonlight Inn was incredibly, can't wait to be back! The room was so relaxing and the vibes were awesome

Such a magical, inspiring, and healing little inn. We did the massages, yoga, honey infusion class and biodynamic tour. Highly recommend all of them! Guest services were also very patient, thoughtful, and helpful in every aspect of our stay. I can't recommend this place enough. Some highlights: Drinkable water everywhere Room cleansing with sage or palo santo Intention kits Bath soak Pick your own salad in their garden Candles in rooms Comfy bed, sheets/blankets, and pillows Ayurvedic teas always available Robes Coffee in room Fermented snacks and dried fruits and nuts in lobby Smells amazing everywhere you walk Beach items for daily use Close to downtown Encinitas Hummingbirds, frogs and butterflies Fire pit for communal use *We get the WELL Loved US package with add-ons*

I had a lovely stay at the Inn at Moonlight Beach in a Moonlight Garden Suite, along with the Well Loved Me package. The staff were all very nice and helpful. Oliva organized a great stay and workshop, and Yumi's skill as a massage therapist is outstanding. The proximity to the beach and downtown Encinitas make for a great location, close to everything without all the traffic. My goal was relaxation, and I had success. The bed was comfy, the bath with herbs and salts was soothing, and breakfast in a basket every morning was a nice treat. The garden at the top of the staris is a lovelt place to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Tea and tasty treats were available during office hours. Parking is tight, and be prepared for many-point turns. Everything else outshines the parking, so I only.mention it so people aren't surprised. I'll look to stay there the next time I'm staying in Encinitas.

Lovely place... BUT they won't inform you that you are across from a semi busy street and Amtrak and/or freight trains go by 24/7 ...only a block away! It doesn't bother everyone, but if you are a light sleeper and even if you wear ear plugs, it is loud. The train has to honk their horn when going through town. We were booked for two pricey nights there but had to leave after the first night or risk another sleepless night. They don't want to refund anything for that second night unfortunately....our loss. $$$$. We found a hotel inland, where you cannot hear the trains, for our second night. They really need to be more transparent about the train noise I feel. They aren't, so I am telling you. It's really a shame. Lovely place otherwise and nice girls work there.

Staff was very friendly and attentive, lovely surroundings. We feel that the website should clearly state that the Inn is across a street from the trains. One of them blows their horn through most of the night, resulted in loss of sleep. We paid for two nights, left after the first.

Every detail is incredibly thoughtful!! It was very relaxing to stay here, and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway experience. One note is the train and car noise can be quite loud, they provide earplugs and it did not bother me but could bother light sleepers.

What an amazing getaway from the busy life of Los Angeles. In at Moonlight Beach brought serenity to my busy mommy life. I came in, not knowing what to expect, but I knew it would be a weekend of wellness. My friend is very Zen and the vibe is exactly how I envisioned her celebration. From yoga to honey, making to soap making, we enjoyed our foot soak andsoundbath. Avenue and cranny had acute space to relax and connect with friends and self. We had so much fun and lots to do around Encinitas. The only thing we did not get to do was go to the beach. So you know we will be returning in the summer. If you need a quaint and peaceful getaway. In at Moonlight isyour place.

It was a very short stay but absolutely worth it. Just need a place to renew after a long day of such a busy day. The instant you walk into the room the smell of essential oils and sounds of the beach relax you. From how the room was laid out to meeting a breakfast basket at you door. It was perfect. I can't wait to be back.

Wonderful stay. They practice what they preach. The hotel is inviting and relaxing, offering complementary wellness teas and snacks upon arrival. Calming gardens filled with fragrant plants and herbs surround it with multiple sitting areas to relax. Excellent location only blocks from the beautiful Moonlight Beach and plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to enjoy. Add a complementary honey and olive oil tasting to your stay and check out one of their packages that may include yoga, massages, etc. We will be back for another wellness stay.

Love the place. Amenities, vibe and energy. My husband booked us their suite for our family of 5 as we had a soccer tournament nearby. It was quiet, quaint, and their organic complementary breakfast was the perfect spread. It's a great spot for a girls getaway, a zen experience. There is a sustainable garden surrounding the property. The only caveat I would mention is the parking. It's a residential sloped driveway with some parking at the top and some alongside the driveway. They do offer alternate parking on the road in a dirt lot. I had to get in and out of our car a lot this weekend , so it was a bit inconvenient. If you can cycle or walk everywhere, it's a great spot to post up and enjoy yourself and beautiful Encinitas. Polite staff, they even honored our request for an extended check out. Walking distance to moonlight beach, where on the way is a pretty cool rock garden. Occasionally you can hear the train pass at night, but they offer ear plus. I loved that EVERYTHING was labeled and offered an explanation. Cute place, would recommend

3.5/5 Booked a two-night stay here due to the reviews and beautiful pictures on social media. It's a cute little spot but it's not as close to the beach as we thought, though it is walkable. Parking is a tight squeeze and there's only 7 spots for 6 rooms. The grounds are decently kept, though some brushing away of cob webs and things like that would be beneficial. Check-in was easy enough; no frills or thrills. Our room had the sound machine and a diffuser going when we arrived. Tea was brewing and some snacks were waiting which was nice. When we were loading the mini-fridge though, we had a half frozen/thawed ice cream in a waffle cone in the room freezer. There is no phone so we had to go back downstairs to find staff to let them know to send someone to clean it. Housekeeping staff came by but he used his gloved hand that was cleaning the mess to reach into the utensils drawer to get a knife to remove the accumulated ice on the freezer walls. This made me wonder about overall cleanliness. We decided to venture to the garden to harvest a salad but it was underwhelming. It could have been better labeled and more abundant. It was a nice idea but there definitely wasn't enough fruits/vegetables for both of us during our stay so we did one baby salad for the experience. One thing that stood out was the train running constantly with horns blaring. The tracks are a block away so there's no getting away from it. The sound machine is helpful and they do provide ear plugs but it's not something one probably wants to do when relaxing in a tranquil environment. That could've been advertised or made known upon booking. Our room had a soaker tub so we took advantage of that the first night but when I asked staff for another package for a bath the second night, they said only one was included in the room rate, but I could purchase a bath package for $12 and harvest flowers from the garden myself. For nearly a $1400 stay, that was irritating. Staff was generally polite, though not always welcoming or friendly. Very nice concept and idea, but definitely needs more activities or services for the price tag.

Love the location. The room was cute and wonderfully decorated and had all the essential amenities. Loved the bed! Would like to have a longer stay than our one night. Awesome fire pit area and garden. We loved our balcony and opening our sliding glass doors (until our neighbors shared their smoking with us ). Because this is a bed and breakfast my rating is four stars. I would prefer to make my own breakfast next time. But love the concept of using ingredients fresh from their garden. We will be back to give it another and longer try.

My girlfriend and I spent a weekend here for our anniversary and to take a break from our usual routine. If you're searching for a place that seamlessly blends luxury with mindfulness, this boutique inn is an absolute gem. From the moment you step inside, you can feel a sense of peace and purpose woven into every detail. The ambiance is a perfect balance of relaxation and inspiration. The space is beautifully designed to encourage you to slow down, unplug, and fully immerse yourself in the present moment. The biodynamic farm on-site adds a unique touch. One of the highlights was the emphasis on connection--not just with nature but with yourself. Whether you're enjoying a mindful moment in the lush gardens or engaging in a creative pursuit, this space truly nourishes the soul. Also, massages were top notch! Would definitely recommend getting one. Komala and Yuumi did great. Can't wait to be back!

My bestie had her bachelorette here with 5 of us here and we can a great stay. Location is great, only 2 blocks away from the main shopping/dining area and moonlight beach. Parking is one spot per room but there was no problem finding street parking. All the girls who worked here were great and the place is super zen. Would recommend, but probably best for couples.

What a little slice of peaceful heaven. A quaint and quiet B&B just a couple blocks from bustling downtown Encinitas. Everything is so well curated and the lobby/gift shop is filled with bespoke items such as candles/teas/essential oils that you could easily spend 30 min perusing. The rooms are comfortable and very private and come with beautiful flowers/bath salts for a relaxing bath. The breakfast they deliver in a picnic basket is also custom to your choices and really lovely. I love this place and will recommend to family and friends visiting San Diego!

I held on writing a review for this place for two years. After this length of time, I am still affected by my stay here -- in part because I relied heavily on the high Yelp ratings when I booked and arrived to find a room that was not clean and infested with small bugs. There are a lot of plants outside, so I guess it's natural that they would attract bugs that would make their way into the rooms, but they should have warned guests. Two stars because it's a good concept but execution is poor. The staff can also learn a bit of humility. They pride themselves on running a sustainable hotel, serving organic foods, having "zen" common areas, etc., but inherent in a lifestyle that prioritizes the health, including mental health, and the environment, is how you treat people -- and they just weren't welcoming.

WHOA! rude service from a female over the phone. what's going on here, did you change owners. said she was not the manager. hostile, nasty. unprofessional. very rude. don't recommend this business. because of poor customer service wow.

We travel a lot and enjoy staying at boutique hotels and Inn at Moonlight exceeded our expectations. The Inn is beautifully original with lush greenery and sense of peace flows throughout the grounds. We were able to make our own salad from the garden and experience a wonderful massage from Yumi !

I just visited Inn at Moonlight beach for a 2 night stay and it was a very pleasant and unique experience. We had some last minute requests and they were very accommodating, we will definitely be returning!

Our wonderful stay at the Inn at Moonlight beach surpassed any expectation we had for some r&r. This place is truly magical- the moment you walk in you are greeted with the smell of fresh herbs and greeted with a warm welcome. The staff is kind and accommodating; Camila in particular, making sure we had everything we needed and more. Each day we got a lovely picnic breakfast which was personalized to our selection of delicious homemade baked goods and fresh juice. I took advantage of the creative workshops and will definitely be looking to return to this beautiful location in Encinitas- can't recommend enough! Sign up for the extra items like honey sampler and bath soak: well worth it!

I highly recommend this destination, you'll leave in good spirit and will be totally relaxed as you embark on whatever you're set out to accomplish

I came for a solo staycation based on the positive Yelp reviews and it was perfect! This small, thoughtfully designed place has a charming, quirky vibe that reminds me of a European bnb meets beach hostel (but upscale). If you are looking for large suites and a super-polished feel, this may not be for you, but it was exactly what I wanted. I splurged on the "well healed" package and loved the Wellness Tea and incredible 90 minute massage I received from Komala. Be aware that the portions for the snacks and breakfast are small (hence the European vibe). I loved the location as well, being a short walk away from the cute downtown area and the beach. Saw the most incredible sunset my first evening here and didn't want to leave! It's true that a busy regional train passes by regularly, but with the sound machine and ear plugs they provide, it didn't bother me.

The Inn at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas is a hidden gem where serene luxury meets sustainability, offering an unforgettable stay infused with wellness, natural beauty, and heartfelt hospitality.

DECEPTIVE PRICING! (Now illegal in CA) Warning others because I wish I had read the bad reviews on Yelp. View my attachment to see how a $328/nightly rate became $450 with bloated fees. $328 is expensive for what they offer, even in coastal Cali, but $445/night is a joke for a renovated motel 9 blocks from the beach. Parking is not secure. There's no staff past 6pm. CITY LODGING TAX: $32.80 DESTINATION FEE: $30.00 DESTINATION FEE TAX: $3.00 The photo of my bill shows the LATE CHECKOUT FEE: $50 WAS ADDED TO THE ROOM SUBTOTAL, and the SUM was taxed! Never seen that before; tacky To clarify: no pool, tub, sauna, etc. here. No evening activities. The day-time offerings are NOT included in the room price, so a destination fee makes no sense. They should call it a breakfast fee if that's what it really is; if so, one should be able to opt out. False advertising + a sprinkle of herbs around the property to distract you from being ripped off. Don't be fooled the "yoga luxury" facade. It's all fake and the place just isn't that nice. I held off on a review hoping the mgmt. would fairly refund the late fee for accidentally oversleeping due to blaring, incessant train and street noise that kept us up 'til 6am. The awful noise problem was not disclosed in any communication even though they were annoying about over-communicating everything else. My mom called the manager, Luisa. Not only did she not apologize for the noise, or compromise on the late charge, but Luisa made up a blatant lie that we had smoked in the room, "finding ashes all over." We do not smoke and wouldn't in a hotel room. Hmmmm; smells like the defensiveness of someone who knows their establishment's a sham! I chose this among the abundant choices in Encinitas because of its "WELL" certification. With an anaphylaxis-type mold allergy and fragrance sensitivity, I seek good airflow. BTW, the Moonlight Suite room is NOT a suite. It's a large room with a couch unsuitable for sleep, but that's a minor gripe. The important detail is the room's sliding door onto a patio, which is neither private nor peaceful. I thought I could open the door if the room was musty, but lo-and-behold... We arrived to a room with sad-looking tea candles flickering their last flames, and a sickly floral scent emanating from an infuser. A noise machine whirred at concerning volume. Opening the door to air the smell, we understood. I couldn't sleep, even with a sleeping pill & the machine at max. You can't request a wakeup because there's no room phone. Suddenly, an employee knocked to notify us it was check-out time. Groggy and panicked, I accepted their hefty late checkout fee so I could pack up. It felt way more aggressive than a normal hotel paging you through the phone system. Then, I noticed the staff hadn't left the breakfast at the doorstep as promised. I asked, and was told by a snotty voice (maybe the manager's?) that the basket was likely taken back some time after delivery, so it wouldn't spoil. Having requested breakfast to-go the night before, we received a basket with glass mason jar containers (the type that $3 yogurts come in) and a passive aggressive note to return the containers. This seemed like an oversight, when they were rushing us to leave. Also, so cheap of them! $450 would be well spent for a refreshing night at a lux hotel with great amenities. But $450 for zero sleep, weird smells, motel-room style lodging, chaotic noise all night...don't make my mistake. As to Luisa's false accusation us of smoking in the room: what a a low-hanging lie, and a bizarre one, when the staff leaves candles burning for hours in unoccupied rooms. Frankly, the room was okay and the snack touches were nice, albeit overpriced. But being accused of doing something I'd never do is really a gut-punch. Some people should stay out of hospitality.

I wanted to give any honest review about my experience last month. I booked this hotel for a week as we come from farther away than most of the guests staying here. We arrived at this inn and were placed in the Verbana room. The inn is nice and quaint. However, on arrival we noticed some red flags. There is a sound machine, ear plugs, and incense burning. There is an odd odor emanating from the room that the incense can't cover. I decided to open the window to air out the room. As soon as I opened the door and sat down for a few minutes, I realize why there is a sound machine and ear plugs. I come from a big city and am used to street noise but this is no ordinary street noise. A loud commuter train, literally a stone's throw away, comes by every few minutes. There is no peace and no quiet, so it's mystifying to me how this can be a hotel where one comes to relax. As I sit down on the bed, I notice the odor intensifying and coming in waves. It smells like sewer but also something else putrid. The bathroom does smell like sewer and I also find a used face towel (or butt) hidden in the corner. Clearly, the room has not been cleaned even superficially. We go about our day hoping the smell goes away. We bring dinner to eat on our porch and when i open the microwave, I find rotting food in the microwave which partially explains the smell. We remove it and sanitize the microwave and find the trash outside the hotel to throw away the rot. It's after hours so I must wait until the next day to inform staff. When I complain to staff in text message the next morning after a rough night of trains passing and blaring their horn every few minutes, I get no response for at least 2.5 hours. I go out to see what is taking so long and a lady is not friendly that I have challenged the cleanliness of the place. We want out-- we don't want to stay here for a whole week or pay for the rest of our horrible stay. One of the reasons we booked this place was because it boasted about COVID cleaning protocols. But, the hotel so far had not even met basic hygiene standards. Instead of offering to cancel our stay and refund us the rest of our 6 days, the owner who only communicated by text message and did not bother to pick up the phone says he can try to resell our room but if not, we lose all our money. The excuse used is that "we are a small business." This line has become a line to excuse poor service (or in our case lack of hygiene and basic sanitation) without taking into consideration that customers aren't rich and also smaller than a small business charging $500 a night. We don't own property or businesses like you do. I'm down $1000 and both my husband and I are public servants and veterans. We scramble to book another place at the last minute and hope that they can resell our room but make the decision to leave because that's how bad this experience is. Of course they can only resell some days, and we are SOL on other days. It doesn't make sense that huge errors made by this small business should be pushed onto the customer. It's just bad service and bad business frankly to not take the loss over pretty embarrassing mistakes. Needless to say, this put a damper on our whole trip and we had to shift to an entirely different city. But I'm glad we didn't stay because there is no way anyone is getting any sleep at this hotel. It was a disappointing and shocking experience and something that I've never been subject to before. My opinion is that they are running a novice operation and when you peel back all the pretty superficial layers, it reveals a mess and amateur hour.

Beautiful stay! Cant wait to come back! Great views, breakfast, the best time. Recommend :)

Our family stayed at the Inn at Moonlight Bay in October 2024 and had a wonderful time. It's easy to get to but secluded and relaxing. The grounds of the hotel are cozy and the landscaping makes the experience feel more like an escape than a hotel. Breakfast showed up in the morning in a basket outside our door, was simple but delicious and we all enjoyed it. We spent time painting rocks for the garden, coloring at the art nook, and relaxing on the garden with a foot soak. Early in the morning we would walk down to the eponymous Moonlight beach and enjoy a swim and/or walking by the surf. The weather was great, and you have lots of food options in nearby downtown encinitas. Recommended.

Such a lovely, delightful stay! From check-in to breakfast to check-out, everything was a dream! Very easy process to check in, and my room was available early! They text you throughout the stay which makes it very easy to communicate. When you check in there is a lovely pot of wellness tea in your room, with a little plate of dried fruit and chocolates! There is a gorgeous flower set up for a bath, complete with epsom salts and herb pouches. There are many room amenities, including bathroom products, a little shea butter massage bar, tea coffee and more! The room was large, bright, and very comfortable! There was a fridge, microwave, kettle, noise machine, compost bucket and more. There are plants all over the property, which is so gorgeous and peaceful. There is a farm stand with fruits and veggies you can buy, a maker station where you can make flower bouquets or dried herb pouches, and a biodynamic garden where you can cut fresh veggies with the scissors and basket provided in the room. There are lots of fun add ons like champagne and charcuterie boards, beeswax candle or massage bar, s'more making, massages, etc. There is also a room with snacks like fresh fruit and veggies, tea, and other fun little goodies. You can even have them make you a jar of the fresh loose leaf tea (they have a large variety!) The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The breakfast basket was a highlight, you fill out a form the night before about what you want, and they brought me an extra item when I requested it the morning of. They have many gluten free and veggie options too. Overall I absolutely loved my stay and can't wait to visit again!

What a really pretty place! It was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast, and the Inn at Moonlight Beach did not disappoint. Everything about our stay was wonderful and we would love to stay here again in the future :)

A hidden gem!! This inn is quaint and so thoughtful. There were fresh flowers, tea lights, tea and chocolate covered strawberries waiting in the room. The room was in prestige shape and exceeded expectations. The property is perfectly manicured and all the herbs are a thoughtful touch. We ordered the tea bath and it was a pleasant experience. The large soaking tub was great. Emma couldn't have been nicer not more accommodating. We will absolutely be back!

The Inn at Moonlight Beach is unparalleled in its ambiance and offerings. It is truly a vision that has manifested before your eyes. For those yearning for solitude and refuge, there is an abundance of privacy. OR If you are looking to engage with others and feel the joy of connection to the beauty of nature or to community, there are endless creative ways to create, play, and explore. Endless heartfelt details and hidden treasures at every turn, this is truly an extraordinary experience to behold. This is exactly the flavor of luxury I was looking for! We will return again and again!

The Inn at Moonlight Beach is exactly as expected. Quaint, cute, and serene. It's located at a great location - only two blocks away from Downtown Encinitas. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay, but the sofa beds were horrible. I would not mind returning in the future for another getaway, but I will definitely not subject anyone in my party to the sofa beds in the Thyme suite.

Such a great place to stay without all of the corporate nonsense. If only there were more of these out there. Keep up the good work Inn at Moonlight Beach! We'll see you soon!

You must stay here!!!! Inspired by a female GuruJi. Sai Maa. Rooms are beautiful, honey is delicious. Breakfast is clean and healthy and brought to your room each morning in an adorable picnic basket. Affirmations everywhere

I had such a wonderful and relaxing time here. The staff really went the extra mile to accommodate. There were so many special little extras to enjoy. I will definitely be back in the future. YF

What a gem of an inn in the heart of this charming creative city in north county, Encinitas. Just a short easy 7 minute walk to moonlight beach (small, intimate, go early in the morning to beat the crowds it gets PACKED by midday on the weekend) and short walk to restaurants. Great location (we didn't mind being by the train tracks you barely notice it). The grounds include a garden that you can harvest salads from and they offer a variety of nature/wellness related classes as well. If you have an electric vehicle they have a complimentary charger (I believe it's Tesla). Lastly they do have a handful of parking spaces on their driveway hill and in the back. It's a little tight getting up the driveway so we parked at the bottom of the hill and charged up. We stayed in the Mint room that has lush foliage separating your view from the main road just outside the window and a lovely furnished deck with a couple of seating options to enjoy reading a book and eating breakfast on. Speaking of breakfast they bring it fresh in a picnic basket to your room each morning. You select what you'd like to eat upon arrival. Pretty standard healthy options toast, eggs, yogurt, juice, etc. there is coffee in the room. The accommodations are built for relaxation- a firm bed (low to the floor), diffuser with a lovely scent, and sound machine. Honestly, the bathroom was the highlight for me a stand-alone tub with tea bags flowers and herbs to put in your bath and the shower with eucalyptus hanging that literally sounds like rain falling. You also have a kitchenette, tv, and ac. When you arrive they have a delicious fragrant pot of tea warming under a tea light in a unique see through tea set and welcome snacks. The diffuser and sound machine are running. Just a very warm way to start a stay at this inn. We also got 90 min massages that were amazingggg. Highly recommend! My only critique is the front desk was a little disorganized. We tried to schedule the massages well ahead of our trip (they reached out to confirm our stay), but then they didn't got back to us for a couple days so when we followed up they said the correspondence got lost in their system. The times we were able to book was fine, but not our firs, second or third pick. Additionally we had some questions the front desk wasn't able to easily answer, not a huge deal, but it happened enough times for us to make note of it and we ended up waiting around a little bit for answers. Lastly, we heard the people staying above us throughout the night and there was also a funny smell the second night that crept in to our room. They have earplugs, a sound machine, and diffuser so I think they're aware of the residual noise and smells? Overall great place for a quick weekend getaway and recharge moment.

Beautiful grounds, helpful happy staff, cozy and clean rooms. This place is amazing, definitely an experience that I recommend having.

We had a truly wonderful stay at the Inn at Moonlight Beach! It is in such a wonderful location, walking distance to the beautiful Moonlight Beach and so many great restaurants and coffee shops and bakeries right on PCH/101. But the best part of the place is the serene ambiance they have created at the inn. It feels like a boutique hotel meets a wellness spa. There's so much greenery and tranquility there that you feel a world away, in the best way possible. Even though we were so close to so many fun spots, I found myself wanting to just relax at the property and in our room as it was so relaxing. I also personally loved the creativity lab area and found such peace painting in our room. We're already talking about when we can return and I'm definitely going to book a massage for our next visit!

My boyfriend and I decided to have a little vacation to "treat ourselves" amongst the holiday stress, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice! The whole property is so tranquil and calming, and it felt like a retreat. We opted in for a foot bath to relax and unwind when we first arrived, and even participated in a honey tasting and an "infuse your own honey" class where we got to choose our own honey flavoring and bring a jar of it home. Within walking distance are shops and restaurants that we got to enjoy as well. Overall, a great vacation and I definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a calming and relaxing atmosphere. We'll definitely be back, and hopefully next time we'll take advantage of all the other amenities (we realized after leaving that we didn't even bring home any herbs from the communal herb garden).

Black mold in shower, room smells like mildew, had the worst mold headache that felt like my brain was on fire while I was staying here - symptoms alleviated when I left the hotel room. Lights in the hotel room constantly flickering, I had to keep the main light off my entire stay due to this. For anyone with photo-sensitivity this is a severe health hazard. Very noisy, train tracks all hours of the night, poor noise insulation you can hear plumbing and every single word your next door neighbor says. No amenities aside from the garden. You get a cold hard boiled egg and cold toast with fruit and yogurt for breakfast. They say they have water filtration and tap that you can drink but seeing how the entire place lacked integrity I grew weary of this and bought my own water. Non organic teas/tea bags in the rooms and makeup wipes with fragrance. I was hoping for a restorative getaway, instead I got the worst headache of my life and the worst quality hotel I've ever stayed in. The garden and flower bath are nice touches but it can't replace basic necessities. This place is nothing like what was advertised and I wish I read the other negative reviews before I booked it and spent so much money here. I feel duped and deceived. Going to cost me a lot in time, energy and money to detox my body from mold after staying here. As much as I hate to write an awful review I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone.

Staying at the Inn at Moonlight Beach feels like a long exhale. I need a solo retreat to get out of my head, tap into my creativity and recharge. I'm so grateful I met the visionary creator and she encouraged me to experience her remarkable creation. What I love about The Inn at Moonlight Beach - is its intimacy - it's a sanctuary in time. From the moment you arrive you see the sign that says "A Conscious Destination". The consciousness you experience is the heartfelt intent of its creator to design an environment that is completely intune with nature. Afterall, the creator is not only an architect but also a landscape architect. You are welcomed by all biodynamic edible and interactive gardens that invite you to harvest vegetables, succulent and herbs, or plant to bring home your own creations. When I entered the greeting area I was welcomed by a warm staff that invited me to tea and gave a tour of the grounds and the multiple secret meditation gardens. I love the open kitchen where the staff invited me to sample 5 flavors of local honey as well as olive oil and to infuse them with dried herbs from their garden. I chose wildflower and buckwheat honey as my bases and infused them with mint and oregano. The herb theme is continued with the names of the eight rooms. I was lucky I was given the Lavender room - my favorite scent. I cannot begin to describe the endless little touches of tranquility the room had. When I entered I understood why The Inn has the "WELL" certification. All of my five senses - taste, smell, sight, feel and sound were delighted and elevated. To further settle in, after my private one-on-one honey infusion class I walked to Moonlight Beach - two blocks away. It was so pristine and calm. I waded in the water and got lost in the rhythm and sounds of the waves. One block between the Inn and the Beach is Historic 101 - right between two funky beach towns Encinitas and Leucadia. So many fabulous restaurants, cafes and shops all within a few blocks. After grabbing a coffee at the corner cafe I headed back to the Inn for an extraordinary massage and chakra energy healing. (A first for me!) It was wild how intuitive this healer was. The massage room itself was so tranquil - and they have a magical outdoor massage area as well. After my 90 minute experience I felt so peaceful and vibrant at the same time. I then walked down to Le Papagayo, a fabulous restaurant with live music. I passed at least 10 other cool restaurants along the way. After a healthy dinner sitting at the bar with lively locals I walked back to the Inn for the most amazing bath full of their dried herbs, salts and scents. I melted! After a quiet meditation on my deck overlooking the charming town and the ocean, I happily lept into bed - which felt like a perfect cloud. I read, I wrote and lost track of time. Then I had the most fabulous sleep in ages. I woke up in the morning to an extraordinary breakfast packed in a picnic basket waiting outside my door. I practiced yoga on my big wood deck and leisurely enjoyed the morning birds and bamboo swaying in the wind. I did not want to leave. It was a truly magical stay. If you want a retreat for you alone or with a loved one - you will adore the Inn at Moonlight Beach. Or give it as a gift to someone who really needs to embody Wellness. I think we all do.
