Just can’t beat this location! Walk to beach/ leave vehicle in the motel lot. Spacious rooms and kitchen amenities, patio. Comfortable beds and very clean. You will feel safe staying here. Many return here after initial stay. This was our second year staying here. The beach itself is terrific- concession stand with extensive menu, surf board rentals, lifeguard stands, fire pits, family atmosphere.

Here’s a polished, enthusiastic review you can post: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Moonlight Motel! The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and had a fun, modern beach vibe that fit Encinitas perfectly. The location couldn’t be better—just minutes from the beach, great restaurants, and everything the area has to offer. What truly made this place stand out, though, was the staff. Every single person I interacted with was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care that I had a great experience. They went above and beyond to make me feel at home, offered great local recommendations, and were always happy to help with anything I needed. That level of hospitality is hard to find these days. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay with exceptional customer service, Moonlight Motel is an easy five-star choice. I’ll definitely be staying here again the next time I’m in Encinitas!

Moonlight Beach Motel is exactly as it advertises. The room was clean; the beds were comfortable, and the location deserves a score of 15/10. It is 3 blocks from Moonlight Beach and a very short walk into Encinitas. The location was also safe and quiet. We had a room with a small kitchen, so we were able to make breakfast and have coffee in the room. They have a lovely patio area where we grilled hotdogs and played games. They provide boogie boards and beach chairs, if you want to use them. There aren’t a lot of fancy amenities, but if you don’t need fancy and want a lovely place to stay, it is perfect.

I’ve stayed here many times, best place to stay in Encinitas with the beach, Cali cream, Loftys coffee and the cafés and shops up the street on Highway 101. I will be back!!

We loved staying here . The room was clean. Staff was super helpful and friendly and we really liked the short walk to the beach . We loved that we had our own little kitchenette where we could cook. They also have grills outside which we will have to use next time. The beds were comfy and the rooms looked like they were upgraded recently.We had a very comfortable stay and we can't wait to go back next year.

We have family in Encinitas so have stayed in a lot of places there and surrounding area (Carlsbad). This time we wanted to stay in Encinitas to be close for all the family activities . The Moonlight Beach Motel was perfect! It was clean, walking distance to the beach and the 101 and five minutes away from family. We absolutely loved the location, the friendly staff, and the comfortable room. Will definitely stay there from now on.

I loved the location. It's walking distance to the beach and local places to eat. I didn't get to use much of the room amenities/property because I pretty much used it to rest halfway my destination. I would like to come back and enjoy the property next time. Check in was easy and communication with property staff was reachable 24/7.
