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.

Moonlight Beach Motel is a delightful, quaint, beach motel, only a 5 minute walk to beautiful Moonlight Beach. And also only minutes to wonderful restaurants and coffee shops. And if you are visiting Scripps Encinitas, it is less than a 10 minute drive. We loved our view of the ocean from our patio. The kitchenette in the room was so convenient, and the room was clean and comfortable. Staff at the desk ( not 24 hours) were very friendly and helpful. Beach necessities are provided as well. Would definitely come back to enjoy this updated vintage motel - can’t beat the beach proximity and price!

This location has an excellent view of the ocean. Property was super clean and staff was very friendly and helpful with information about the area. We really enjoyed the close proximity to the beach. The location is very close to nice morning walks. We were very impressed with the room and all the amenities available. We definitely recommend this location and we are looking forward to returning in the near future. Thank you to the staff, and everyone for a very pleasant experience. Highly recommend this location, excellent view, close to the beach, and nearby are great places to eat and shop.
