Inn at Moonlight Beach

San Diego's Pacific Coast Bed & Breakfast Inn


One of our comfy and romantic suites

You'll Enjoy Our Lovely Suites!



Every one of my rooms and suites are ultra-fresh and spotlessly clean with plush linens and a wonderfully comfortable bed with feather pillows, down-filled duvets (comforters) and cotton sheets. You'll find a clean private bathroom with hair dryer, wireless internet, refrigerator, cable TV and your own coffee maker with Starbucks coffee, both caf and decaf.

My prices are $50-$75 per night less than comparable San Diego beach inns. Learn why.

Most B&B require a 2-night stay.  We make some exceptions  :-)
