About this property

The Perfect large Family Beach Getaway! 3 Min Walk To Beach - Family reunions!

Welcome to Moonlight Beach Place!

This listing is a combination booking of two separately licensed short-term rentals located within one building—ideal for family reunions and multi-generational stays.

• The Flat (Upstairs) – 4 BR / 3 BA – City STR Permit #027705-2023
• The Terrace (Downstairs) – 4 BR / 4 BA – City STR Permit #027706-2023

Each home has its own entrance, kitchen, and living areas. When booked together, they provide 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms total.

This combined listing simply streamlines the booking process for guests seeking both permitted homes at once. Each unit remains fully compliant under its individual City of Encinitas STR permit.

This newly remodeled, professionally decorated beach home is a perfect resting spot for families wanting a close walk to the beach as well as walking distance to trendy shops and restaurants on the 101 and even the 'Coaster' (train that runs up and down the California Coast) is just a short walk away. For those with cars, we are ideally situated on the coast. To the north is legoland (15 min) Disneyland (50 min) and to the south is Seaworld (20 min) San Diego Zoo (25 min) Balboa Park (25 min) and Old Town (20 min) and Downtown San Diego (25 min) The home is a duplex, but rented as a single property so you get the benefit of 2 kitchens and ample area for dining and lounging. There are 4 bed, 3 bath upstairs and 4 bad 5 baths downstairs.
Moonlight Beach Place offers groups the ultimate flexibility with ample room with privacy. The property is a duplex although it's rented with both units together. With this setup, you get double kitchens, dining rooms and living area. It's ultimate for 2 or more families or a family reunion.
Moonlight Beach Place offers newly paint, carpet, bed linens and mattresses. Be one of the first to experience this great getaway. Enjoy a full day at Moonlight Beach with 2 complimentary bikes and 2 surfboards (checked out at Concept Rentals) then enjoy a nice dinner at one of the many trendy Hwy 101 restaurants and come home to a delicious sleep with the sound of crashing waves from the Pacific Ocean.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Burnett

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 children who love to travel the world and spend each summer in a different country. We are passionate members of the vacation rental community and love to share our homes as we stay in other's homes all over the world. We have met many families and have enjoyed welcoming many repeat guests back to our properties as hosts.

Why they chose this property

We were so fortunate to buy a rare coastal property by Moonlight Beach. They hardly ever come on the market and there are so few homes near our family's favorite beach. This property is a duplex with the top unit, The Flat having 4 bed/3 bath and the lower unit, The Terrace having 4 bed/5 baths. It has great flexibility for large family gatherings in both units. When our family stays in one of the units, we still welcome guests in the other although we prefer to offer it as a whole to guests.

What makes this property unique

This is one of the few properties located in walking distance of Moonlight Beach (3 min). It has the flexibility to sleep up to 20 people. It's also a great property where a car is not needed. Moonlight beach is a local's favorite with everything you would expect from a Southern California Beach including beach rentals, snack bars, clean modern bathrooms, showers, Playground area and world famous sand volleyball. All just a short 2 block 3 min. walk away. We also have great parking with the property which is rare at the beach.
