Loved it.

Responsive owner. Great location.

Great location but amenities could've been better. Ants in kitchen drawers and on counter. Only one dishtowel, no facial tissue in entire place and could've used more towels. No top sheet on one of the beds. But location couldn't have been better. Loved walking to the beach and the park. Also, having parking was great.

Our family of ten, ranging in age from 9 to 75, had a great time at Rebecca's Moonlight Cottage in Encinitas. There was plenty of space for everyone - the kitchen, living room, bedrooms, balcony were all great. The fantastic Moonlight Beach is just right out the front door and restaurants, coffee shops, pubs are just a short walk away. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. Can't wait to return next summer.

Great location to beach and easy to walk places. The great room offered plenty of space to all be together. There was ample parking. Loved it!

My family and I rented this home to celebrate a couple of birthdays. We had family members from age 8 to 80, and they all enjoyed the house. This home was great for my family and we really enjoyed it. The home's proximity to the beach is perfect as well. You can literally walk to the beach in seconds. The one thing future renters should be prepared for is that there are only 2 tv's in the house. There's 1 tv in the living room and 1 tv in the bungalow. If you like watching your favorite tv shows (even while on vacation), or if you have kids who really like playing video games, there aren't too many options. It would be nice to have the option of watching tv in the individual rooms. Even with that, I'd certainly rent this home again. Also, the manager (Rebecca) was great.

We so enjoyed celebrating Thanksgiving in this lovely home. We had people from 86 to 6 years old and it was perfect for everyone for a week. Nice accommodations close to the beach and a well equipped kitchen. The children certainly enjoyed the yard! Can’t wait to visit again.

This was our first VRBO experience. The location was fantastic the house was very roomy as described. The host was flexible in allowing us to do early check in and later check out. However, the construction on the next door house and the noisy work that was going on in the house at the back (which started at 7 am) really took a lot of our enjoyment away. I wish these were disclosed. In addition, the downstairs was not cleaned properly and we started seeing a lot of insects (termite). we provided the host with a picture. I truly believe we should get some credit back, because we could not really enjoy our stay as much as we could. Having said that if the above issues be taken care of we would go there again as we liked the location and the house itself.

The house met all our needs. We wanted our own bathrooms, close to beach, close to shops and restaurants. Nice treat was access to Netflix as a guest. Plenty of towels, shampoo, soaps. My sis looked under bed when she lost her glasses. The floor needs sweeping. Plenty of cooking supplies. We r already talking about coming back next year

Wonderful Encinitas beach getaway.

Wonderful Encinitas beach getaway.

Loved it, would come back again!

This is a wonderful property, great for a family or group vacation. Beautiful sunset views from the deck or walk the few feet to watch from the sand. Easy access to all of the local amenities. Owner very responsive, but not at all obtrusive. Hope to be able to stay at this property again someday soon.

The house and location are spectacular! Just 2 blocks from beautiful beach and playground. The layout of house is inviting and comfortable and plenty of space for all. Wonderful place!

Very close to the beach and sand toys to boot! We really enjoyed our stay - the kitchen was well stocked and the place clean. Rebecca was very responsive. Note that they are doing construction next door - it got loud at times but didn't take away from our stay. Would definitely go back.

All went smooth. Great location. Only bummer is that a new ice cream store (Cali Cream) replaced Handel's ice cream. Its a 4/5, Handel's was a 5/5.

The house has a good location. It is not adjacent to the beach and the view of the ocean is limited, but it is only a short walk to Moonlight Beach. There were beach umbrellas, boogie boards, chairs and other beach items provided. There was plenty of room for our ten people. The kitchen/dining/living area is large enough for several people to use comfortably, and the deck is nice. The large kitchen island came in handy at mealtimes. Construction on the house next door is a bit of a temporary problem. The separate-entry bungalow, with its own small kitchen, is great for teenagers or a couple. The ocean suite would be unbearably warm in the afternoon without the shades being all the way down, and access to it from the living area is through its small bathroom. There was parking space for our three vehicles, which was very important since street parking is a problem. The small, private yard was nice. There were plenty of beach towels but we could have used more indoor towels. The manager was good to work with. Overall, we were pleased and would recommend the house for large groups.

We have been traveling to Encinitas since 1984. We have stayed in motels, rental houses, and with family. This unit was the most satisfying living experience we have had. It is right at the beach. The great room and kitchen area accommodates all our family at once. The out door seating area is great for dining. The bedrooms gave privacy to everyone. The lawn area became the Spike Ball competetion court. The view from the deck of the ocean is wonderful. We were here during covid19 so did not go to any restaurants. Instead our family took turns cooking gourmet meals for each other. We did send one person to Handel's Ice cream, to be eaten at home. Rebecca is easy to talk to and work with. WE WILL BE BACK. Thank you Carol and All

Great property and location; lots of room. Unfortunately the city was doing roadwork, road was blocked; loud jackhammers. This activity, known beforehand, should have been communicated.

This beach house is such a great location to Moonlight Beach! It is literally a block to walk to the beach, and then two blocks to lofty coffee and Handels. The house fit our group (8 adults, 5 kids) very well, and we were able to use the kitchen and main room for a fun Thanksgiving event. Each couple and kids had plenty of privacy, and the kids could enjoy time away from the parents :) If you are new to the area, this house is walking distance to so many great restaurants, bars, coffee shops and shopping. The house itself if well maintained, with a nice open kitchen and a bbq outside. We really enjoyed the open kitchen, balcony overlooking the beach and outdoor grass area. The owner had plenty of beach toys, towels and umbrellas, although we didn't use them because it was raining and cool while we are there.

We had such a great stay in Encinitas! The beach was so close and so clean. Great waves for beginners and the older kids who are more advanced. There are so many amazing restaurants close by we walked to Handels ice cream just up the street and then drove 3 mins to other great spots. Rebecca was an excellent host and had everything we needed at the house.

Stayed here with extended family! Great vacation and so close to the beach...literally right out the front door. There was also a private garden in the front where the little ones were safe to play in a fully enclosed and fenced area. It was very warm during our stay and I was so grateful for the AC and slept wonderful. I asked the owner about the mattresses because they were so comfortable and I wanted to buy for my own home. Great walking distance to 101 and shops and restaurants. Rebecca is a great host and was ready to answer any of our questions. Highly recommend.

A perfect vacation home! Everything you need. Clean, comfortable and a great location. Very close to beach and the town. I WILL be back. Highly recommend.

This house was amazing. The location was perfect! The neighborhood was wonderful! There was a bit of construction next door but we were not bothered by it at all..... too busy at the beach!! Host made sure we had everything we needed and was so generous with our check in and check out times. We will be back :)

The house itself is nice, it needs some upkeep maintenance, faucet in bungalow very loose, 3 kitchen garbage bags for the week, 1 roll of paper towel, no laundry soap provided, minimal towels for bathrooms. But the real issue is how the house is advertised and what the owner is not disclosing to renters. The first issue was the major construction taking place immediately next door and the owners choice to not disclose it so people can select a different house to stay. At 6:45am every weekday the construction crews came, we could not enjoy the patio facing the beach during the morning or day because of the crews and very loud construction work. There was a concrete truck there the first Monday morning working all day. The next day a 60’ crane came moving huge steel beams. Kids couldn’t play in the yard because of the safety risk. The work went on every week day while we were there. Rebecca gave us a small discount back after we complained but this project is long lasting and she’s well aware of it, but doesn’t disclose the situation to unsuspecting renters. So beware! In addition, the house is listed as having AC. It was the 3rd week in July and the heat and humidity was high. We then discovered that the air only works in the main living area upstairs. None of the rooms downstairs had air. One room had no windows. The ones with windows couldn’t be open at night because kids were staying in those rooms and we were concerned about safety. The situation upstairs was bad because the second “master bedroom” has no venting at all, it was an add-on. So to cool the room you needed to open the windows and use a small fan in the corner. In addition, the fire pits at the beach had lots of smoke that was then pulled into the room every night while we slept. After a week of inhaling the smoke, we finally decided the second to the last night we had had enough and left a day early. Out of 6 bedrooms in the house only 1 actually had operating AC. Not at all what is being advertised. Rebecca said when we questioned why the air didn’t seem to be working, that “many houses in San Diego don’t have AC”. She also offered to bring fans if that would help. She had her handy man drop off 4 brand new fans on the porch in their boxes for us to put together on our vacation?! I have rented in SD area for 15 yrs this feels like I missed the opportunity to really enjoy my vacation this year! Disappointing!!
