What a beautiful pleasant surprise for me finding this gorgeous spot. I wanted to stay there for eternity. Everything there was s beautifully intentional with guest top of mind. I will be back soon and highly recommend to anyone!!
Rika
Our one-night stay here was exactly the reset we needed! From check-in, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the fruity kombucha welcome drink set a great tone. The room was comfortable and quiet, and the outdoor yard access made us feel genuinely connected to nature. It was a much-needed break from digital screens and work stress ^-^
The in-room bath salt and fresh herbs turned a simple bath into a real highlight, and the licorice mint tea was so good I bought a box of the leaves from the gift shop before leaving. Breakfast came in a charming picnic basket, generous and fresh. Checkout was just as kind as check-in.
This place really nails the \"zen by the beach\" feeling. We're already planning our next visit!

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with not a lot of people and kids running around (besides the train every now and then during the day. lol) This is it. It’s a cute intimate staycation. The massage I got for my husband he loved and the footsoak in the garden with wine and cheese board was perfect. I even fell asleep in the garden waiting for my husband to finish his massage. The staff are super attentive and make you feel so welcomed. We satyed in the sage room and slept like babies. I loved everything about our stay. And enjoyed the simplicity of it all.
Cesar
Unique and romantic stay!!! We really enjoyed our time and the staff was warm and welcoming at all times.
Laila
I needed a quite getaway for a couple of days and this was wonderful and peaceful even though there is a train station close by. The sound of the waterfalls and the room insulations hardly made it noticeable. The manager Chai was so friendly and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed my stay and will go back anytime I am in need of a short distance getaway.
Katherine
We had a short stay, but it was wonderful-- especially the frog pond!
Alexandra
I spent 4 nights at The Inn at Moonlight Beach and I was still not ready to leave! Every morning I took a nice long stroll down Moonlight beach, and stopped off for coffee at Lofty. A wonderful breakfast basket was waiting for me when I returned with fresh fruit, a chia seed parfait and green juice. I stayed in Sweet Bay, which had nice high ceilings, a comfortable bed, a mini kitchen and a large soaking tub. All of the touches were so well thought out. I loved the sound machine with the sound of waves in the background of my entire stay. The cute beach bag was used daily. There is no doubt I will return!
Michelle
Beautiful sanctuary with amazing attention to detail. Can’t wait to visit again! So in love with the tea, too!
Patricia
Lovely clean room with ocean view off the deck. Enjoyed the pot of hot tea and treats on arrival in my room.
James
Great Place!
lisa
We had a relaxing stay and enjoyed the peaceful vibes, pretty rooms and grounds, and all the special touches.
Elizabeth
This was one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in quite awhile. First, I always seek out rooms with kitchenettes which these rooms have. The garden setting is so serene and close walk to Moonlight Beach and downtown Encinitas is ideal. This hotel goes above and beyond with so many little touches from afternoon and evening to, welcoming you to your room with candles, treats, and tea. Then herbal bath and spa robes and the most amazing breakfast delivered to your door in a cute picnic basket. They also have fun activities for the kids like rock painting, art night, and garden harvesting. Truly a special place!
Elizabeth
Room, food, ambiance, staff are all excellent. 2nd time we have stayed and will definitely return. I absolutely LOVE this place!!!!
Lucrezia
The Inn at Moonlight Beach is a peaceful little paradise just a few blocks from the beach. Our stay was the most relaxing we had in a very long time! The Inn is a wellness center running on 90% solar energy, harvesting their own fruits and erbs, and serving a delicious, farm to table healthy breakfast to your door every morning. We'll definitely go back!

It was very good

A true gem walking distance to Encinitas and moonlight beach. Beautiful biodinamic gardens, great for the family. Delicious food as well
Ron
I can see why they have such high ratings. Very thought-out details. BEAUTIFUL and peaceful. Exactly the place to recharge. Healthy clean food snacks and breakfast provided. I lost weight and my blood sugar levels were the best that I have ever seen.....can't wait to go back.
Delanie
Such a serene and grounded a place to stay, I enjoyed it very much and hope to visit again
Scott
We had such a wonderful and peaceful stay here. The rooms are serene, the grounds are beautifully kept, and the staff was sweet and accommodating. When we arrived, there was a pot of tea waiting for us, as well as a vase of flowers and little tea lights flickering all over our room.
Yes, it's near the train crossing, but with the white noise machine blowing ocean sounds and the triple pane windows shut, you really don't hear any of that. Would 100% return!

Kerry
Wonderful staff and healthy breakfast! Clean room and sweet little added gestures that show they care about how they are regarded.
William
Amazing hidden gem! Stayed one night and hope to be back soon. Bed was so comfy.
Cecilie
My partner and I had an incredible 3 night stay. We booked the Sage room-that included its own balcony with a dinette and lounge sofa. A comfy king size bed, and an epic bathroom including a shower with impressive water pressure and a huge tub. The room was so inviting and smelled so fresh. We both agreed we haven’t felt more relaxed in a hotel room before. We loved the breakfast basket that was delivered to the room-we both chose chefs choice. The basket had quality healthy, feel good foods and fresh juices to get us ready for our day. I highly recommend adding the Well Delighted Full Moon Package-we chose the meat and cheese charcuterie board and everything on it was great quality, plus it was special to start our trip popping a bottle of champagne and a charcuterie board on the balcony seating.
I highly recommend staying here. It was such a unique experience. We will absolutely stay here again.

Such a fun unique hotel in one of my favorite cities!
Kira
Amazing with every little detail thought about and little touches added. Was absolutely incredible. Will definitely be back!!!💕💕
David
My Girlfriend and I stayed two nights and were completely relaxed when we checked out. The soap making class was fun and educational, and we enjoyed a massage as well. The snacks and teas are all delicious. The bed was a bit low for older folks, but very comfortable. I don’t usually carry cash, and have trouble with Venmo, so tipping has been complicated, but that’s just a “me” thing ( don’t worry guys, I haven’t forgotten you)
Bunnarith
It is qiuet, peacedul, and tranquial.

Lovely Peaceful Property
Lovely property, actually better in person! Friendly hospitable & accomodating staff. Arrival and registration was tedious and time consuming. We were prompted upon arrival to complete breakfast menu selections. I understood breakfast was included in with the room price, therefore, very surprised to get billed significant added amount for breakfast. Understood that butter and other condiments could be chosen at added cost.
Verified traveler
The room and property were nice but not like it’s shown online/IG. The garden was available for harvest but not well labeled or abundant enough. Staff were polite but not always approachable. The complimentary activities were minimal and for the price paid and destination fees, more could be provided, ie: bath kits/night versus one per stay. Also not advertised are the train tracks a block away so definitely not a good place for someone who is a light sleeper.
Mark
It was beautiful!
Chris
Great little property and hidden gem! Very peaceful vibe, and nice touches with healthy breakfast and sustainable amenities... I enjoyed my stay and will come back again!
Priscilla
The hotel canceled my stay before I arrived and still charged me. It’s been difficult trying to get my refund as no one can get a hold of manager.
David
Great location and staff
Zsolt
Amazing little boutique with a friendly staff and an inviting ambiance!
Alexandra
Had the best stay here. It’s an oasis and the little touches like the delicious local coffee, wonderful bath products and comfortable bed were really nice.
Only two things that were not perfect: they only offer room service after 4 night stay. One reason I like a hotel over an air bb is so I feel like the room is fresh and cleaned when I get back at end of day. Also, was a bit noisy one afternoon - there was a kid on a loud motorbike going around in loops right next the property for an hour in the evening while we were sitting in our outdoor deck area. I realize it’s not the hotels fault but it was def ruining the peaceful mood and worth mentioning.
Other than that it was such a wonderful experience. The common room with healthy snacks was a nice touch. There was always parking available and the quality of the linens was nice.

The breakfast was very good and plentiful. They did not service the room on the second day, which was ok, but strange. The shower was terrible.

It was a one of a kind, unique experience. Would totally recommended.

Amazing Special Spot- Enjoyed every Beautiful Detail
lissa
Lovely stay
Even though you can tell there are a few opportunities: water damage around tub, floor tiles need grouting,etc; none of these took away from the fact that this was a little slice away from the busy of North County life. The botanicals for the bath were lovely. The tea and flowers waiting in the room were beautiful. They offer local quality coffee not freeze dried packs. The breakfast options were good and so tasty! And came in reusable containers and the cutest basket.
Sam
Great location to town, stellar customer service & very well executed. A gem of a hideaway!
nicole
Overall happy gal
I love the concept.. as a yoga teacher. Neighbors have Super loud kids… and that’s cool .. but disables “ romance.” Open a closet … walled off sloppy style , no connection on floor casings/ door moldings .. just cheapen how a hotel room of this price should be finished. No couples massage space without a door being open to the outside? It was 46 degrees … no! The staff was wonderful, the grounds are beautiful , our bath was super… the tea and chocolates and massage oil heart … so special … but get a good contractor in there and insulate against the neighbor kids … it’s their house next door so you can’t move them :)
Jonathan
Had a delightful getaway weekend with my girlfriend. The service is top notch - very lovely management. We took advantage of the complimentary honey tasting and purchased the candle making workshop, both of which were really fun experiences. The room was amazing - the management clearly spends a lot of time considering all details to make for a positive experience. Will certainly be back!
Richard
This little resort is tucked away and so beautiful and charming. They grow all their own herbs in a lovely garden environment around the entire property. They do a great job of being very environmentally conscience at the same time providing beautiful and comfortable amenities. The entire staff are so friendly and professional. I would highly recommend staying here!!
David Clifford S.
Would stay again…
Overall the property was very nice. The staff is attentive and pleasant. I would definitely recommend for a weekend getaway or longer. The only problem is parking, and I think they would admit that. There is only room for one vehicle per room, and that may be a stretch. You are able to park at a local park a short walk away. Please, don’t let this be the reason why you don’t book. Like I said in the title of this review…I would stay again!
Joan
Very zen. Nice staff. Will definitely recommend
Verified traveler
The grounds are covered with live plants grown in a very eco friendly way. This is a soothing place to stay.
Verified traveler
The Inn is beautiful and serene. The property has several small fruit, vegetable and succulent gardens, where we loved eating breakfast. The Inn’s staff were attentive and friendly. It was close to the beach and the San Diego Botanic Gardens— a must see. The Inn at Moonlight Bay was exactly what we were looking for in a short getaway during Covid!
Verified traveler
Perfect, relaxing weekend! Such a gem!!! Staff was super friendly. Walking distance to the beach- love this spot, will be back.
