Best location to meet our friends at Moonlight Beach (just some steps away) and to explore North County. The shops and restaurants in Downtown Encinitas are around the corner - too many good options :-)! We discovered our favourite breakfast place on the 101 and had dinner and a bonfire at the beach. Our room was quite large (incl. two nice, big armchairs near the glass front to the balcony) and nicely decorated, everything was sparkling clean, the beds were comfy, the staff very friendly, and we loved the (partial) ocean view. If you like hiking: It is just half an hour to Elfin Forest or Iron Mountain. Legoland is around the corner, and it is also under an hour drive to San Diego Zoo's Safari Park. We had rented a car, but it is easy and fun to explore Encinitas and the neighboring communities on foot or by bicycle. Everything is connected by walkways. Moonlight Beach Motel was perfect for us - we loved it and are looking forward to staying there again!

Excellent location, 2 blocks from beach. We had partly cloudy days, but whenever sunshine hit my balcony I could be on the beach 5 minutes later. I'm glad I booked the double deluxe room with balcony and sea view. The room was spacious, clean, and well furnished. We had 2 beds, two comfy chairs, 2 desk chairs, plus chairs on the balcony. The bathroom was modern with great shower and toilet. This is not a fancy place, but all the staff we met were very nice and accommodating, and it is clean and comfortable. Bonus: if you like ice cream, there's a great place a few steps away.

Great location. We walked to the beach and saw dolphins and could hear the ocean waves with the balcony door open. Appreciated the access to beach chairs even though we didn’t use them. Room was quiet aside from train horns. Don’t miss Dave’s rock garden just down the street. Coffee maker in room didn’t seem to work (but could’ve been me) and anyway I liked getting coffee at Lofty which was a 2-minute walk from the room.

The room was large and super clean. The motel was in a great located, one block from the beach and in short walking distance from lots of restaurants. We had an efficiency unit that was well stocked with cooking utensils if needed. We did not do any cooking. It was a great stay and we would definitely stay there again.

I liked it a lot. The closeness to the beach is great. I love the balcony and the big rooms. . And I like to touch base with someone when I arrive. I rushed there after work so I could. The woman was amazing and provided great service. I want to stay here again.
