Oceanfront Encinitas Retreat - Ocean Views, Steps to Beach, Outdoor Living
Welcome to Moonlight Seaside Retreat, a private oceanfront estate in Encinitas offering 50 feet of direct Pacific frontage and rare, unobstructed views of Moonlight Beach. Located just five homes from the sand with easy, stair-free beach access, this newly remodeled coastal retreat blends modern design with relaxed Southern California living. Whether you’re gathering for sunset dinners on the patio or enjoying quiet mornings with the sound of the waves, this home delivers a true beachfront experience.
Spanning two thoughtfully designed levels, Moonlight Seaside Retreat offers nearly 4,000 square feet of indoor-outdoor living space curated for comfort and connection. Soaring ceilings and expansive windows frame endless ocean views while filling the main living area with natural light. A generous sectional, fireplace, and oversized 75” Samsung SMART TV create a welcoming space to unwind after a day at the beach.
The ocean-view kitchen is both functional and stunning, featuring premium Miele appliances, quartz countertops, a Nespresso coffee station, and multiple dining areas designed for gathering. Floor-to-ceiling doors open to a wraparound oceanfront patio complete with lounge seating, dining space, built-in BBQ, outdoor refrigerator, and SONOS sound — ideal for entertaining against a backdrop of Pacific sunsets.
The primary suite is a private ocean-view retreat with direct patio access, a spa-inspired ensuite bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, and its own washer and dryer. Two additional main-level bedrooms each feature ensuite bathrooms, offering comfort and privacy for families or couples traveling together.
On the lower level, a fully separate-entry casita provides added flexibility and privacy.
