I found the Inn at Moonlight Beach looking for a place to stay for a trip to San Diego. While I initially was looking for a place closer to the heart of downtown San Diego, I chose this place because of the great reviews and its proximity to the beach - and I'm glad I did! It was great for a romantic getaway and was very convenient to San Diego - especially if you take the Coaster train (whose station is literally a 5-minute walk from the Inn). My wife and I didn't need to use our car at all while we were down there. We could walk right down to the beach or enjoy any number of shops and great restaurants in Encinitas - all on Ann & Terry's recommendations.
The room we stayed in was "cozy" - not too spacious, but very comfortable, clean and well-kept. It felt like staying in a nice home - not a hotel (which is a good thing). Ann's home-made pastries, great fruit plates and assortment of other breakfast treats made it feel even more like home. The books, furnishings, soft music occasionally playing in the common room - and most importantly - Ann & Terry's friendly, conversational manner made for a great experience. They provide good service, but aren't nosy - a great balance. All in all, it was a great trip and (I'm not just saying this) we would definitely come back again. We've already recommended it to a number of friends. Probably the best deal in the area!
