2-blocks to Moonlight Beach, Private Yard, AC, bikes, Over 300 5-star reviews
After your first visit, you will want to come back year after year..........look at the many reviews. Encinitas permit #RNTL-007074-2016.
I do neet to inform you that the house just south of the rental is being rebuilt, and thus there sometimes is construction noise from about 8am to 4:30pm. The noisiest part, demolition, is over, but I can not predict what comes with each day. Renters have not had any problems.
The private 1 bedroom unit is very clean and has granite counter tops, fully tiled shower, landscaped private backyard, large dedicated parking spot right in-front, and Air Conditioning which is unusual for most rentals in the area.
Located in a quiet area it has a completely private backyard and entrance from the house it is attached to. It is only 2 blocks from famous Moonlight Beach, and 4 blocks old-town Encinitas. Encinitas is considered by many as one of the true gem beach areas in the county, providing many niche eating and shopping options.
Amenities include a queen sized bed, stone floor, and the entertainment system includes a 50 inch flat screen TV with all local and standard cable channels (YoutubeTV), plus Netflix. Sit in your private backyard and have a meal the patio table. Microwave is also a convection oven, so there is not a standard stove.
Moonlight is one of the most popular beaches in North County San Diego, with facilities that include restrooms, showers, volleyball courts, fire pits, beach rentals , children’s playground, and even a great snack bar! If you want a more secluded beach, just walk about 100 yards north or south on the beach.
Walk into downtown Old Encinitas and eat at one of the many great restaurants or shop at the small unique shops.
The unit has complete set of dishes, linens, towels, beach chairs, umbrella, and wifi. Also has private washer and dryer. Drip coffee maker with filters.
There is no bath tub, so for small children, it may not be a great place.
We are dog-friendly. The unit is best suited for small to mid-size dogs.
House Rules: Must me over 25 years old unless I specifically approve No events or parties. No smoking in unit or in backyard. Quite time after 10pm, this is a quiet neighborhood Dogs can not be left alone (inside or outside) if they bark. Couch needs to be covered if you have a dog, and not allowed on bed.
If this unit is booked for the time you want it, look at my other VRBO properties (#4054307, #821584 and #1537733) which are both 2 bedrooms and also located just a few blocks to the beach in Oceanside, just 10 miles north of this unit.

Loved the location, a quick walk to the beach and a stroll into downtown Encinitas, The private garden was nice with fruit trees. Location is very quiet at night. Property had everything we needed for a 4 night stay.
This place was a perfect get-away spot for us. The short walk to the beach and to numerous restaurants meant that we could leave the car parked for most of our vacation. It’s a beautiful spot in a safe and friendly neighborhood. Clean and well equipped. Great hosts!
Great location just off the 101 and an easy walk to downtown Encinitas. The space was super clean and cozy, and the washer/dryer was such a nice bonus. Our little dog loved having the patio to wander in and out of!
We had a great stay. The location was excellent. The host’s communication was outstanding—clear, prompt, and always available when we had questions. The home was exactly as described and made for a great experience. Highly recommend!
Our host was welcoming. Called to see if there was anything we needed. The accommodations were clean and very well stocked. It was the perfect size for our weekend getaway. We loved it!
The room was great. It was private and very nice. The location was awesome and we could walk anywhere in Encinitas. The host checked in with us to ask how we were doing and if we needed anything. We would definitely come back and stay there again. It was a very pleasant stay and experience.
I had a wonderful stay at the moonlight beach house. Hosts were accommodating and helpful throughout my stay. The location is hard to beat! Great food and the beach is a 2 minute walk down the hill
The unit was clean and contained everything we could need or want. Walkability to beach, shops and restaurants was fantastic. I would return without hesitation
Perfect place for couples that want to be close to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean, modern appliances, and a comfortable bed. Warren was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Downtown Encinitas shops and restaurants are right down the street, and grocery stores are close by. Will absolutely stay here again when we're in the area.
The property was clean and comfortable and the location was excellent. It was quiet and the little yard was perfect for our dogs. Warren made everything very easy from start to finish. He is an excellent host.
We enjoyed our stay. The location is great, an easy walk to town and the beach. The place was clean, quiet, private, and safe. We would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed this lovely place very much. It is super close to Moonlight Beach. The host was helpful, bed was comfy and the garden relaxing. The neighborhood is fantastic and friendly. Everyone said hello to us as we walked the dog.
Perfectly situated. Delightful backyard. Close to downtown Encinitas, shopping and dining. Warren was gracious and delightful to work with.

About the host
Hosted by Warren Goldberg
I have lived in the San Diego area for over 34 years and in Encinitas for over 24 years. My wife and I grew up back in NY/NJ. I first visited the San Diego area while at Arizona State and immediately knew I found the place I wanted to live. I worked as an engineer.
Why they chose this property
Encinitas has a small beach town atmosphere, people are very friendly, and it has the best beach around. The rental unit is very private with its own entrance and typically I don't see our renters for days on end. But if you need something..I am close.
What makes this property unique
Take our beach bikes for a ride on the beach during low tide, it is a great experience. Also stream hundreds of Netflix movies at no charge.
