Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

2/10 Terrible

"No breakfast (which is one of the reasons why we booked), no microwave in the room (as mentioned there would be) so we couldn’t eat at this or re heat meals ? What’s the point. Wasn’t notified they’re under construction until we arrived so it was too late to switch. Wish I could get my money back for spending almost $300."

Moonlight Beach Motel

6/10 Okay

"The location was nice and close to the beach. Very steep hills to walk up and down. The hotel was ok, its dated. The kitchenette could use some updating. The refrigerator was hard to get a gallon of milk into, the door wouldn't open up wide enough with out us completely moving it out to move the shelves up or down. The stove had a short in it so the burners would stop working while trying to cook. There were no hot pads, dish towels and it would have been nice to have a full set of dishes. We had 4 people but there were only 3 cups, 2 bowls and no bigger bowls to mix stuff in. We enjoyed the terrace to sit on and look at the ocean. There is no one there after 6pm if you need assistance and parking is very tight. But we still enjoyed our stay"

Beautiful one-bedroom apartment in prime location with private entrance & patio

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this property! From the very beginning the hosts communication was fantastic-quick, friendly, and helpful both before booking and throughout the entire stay. The home was in a convenient location with easy access to stores and beaches which made everything enjoyable and stress free.The property itself was extremely clean and well cared for. One thing that stood out was the amazing water pressure in the shower- such a small detail, but it made a big difference after long beach days!We also loved the beautiful flowers in front of the home. Our kids had fun watching butterflies and hummingbirds visit throughout the day. It added a peaceful and special touch to the stay.To top it off the host welcomed us with a bottle of family made wine that was delicious. That thoughtful gesture really made us feel at home. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to others!"

Cardiff Beach Home, Ocean Views, Amazing Sunsets, Walk to beach and everywhere

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful home, immaculately kept in a great beach community - everything we wanted and were looking for. Walkable distances to the beach, coffee shops, surf shops and great restaurants."
