Inn at Moonlight Beach $1,895,000

Romantic Inn perched on a hillside above Moonlight Beach overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the quaint beach town of Encinitas.

If you’ve always wanted to live near the ocean where the sun shines more than anywhere else in North America, the Inn at Moonlight Beach is a unique opportunity - especially if you’re seeking retirement with an income (or as we call it, "Living For Free").

Temperate, climate and unique location near the ocean yields an 85% year-round occupancy rate (95% in the summer, 75% in the winter).

You can walk along the beach for miles in either direction or wander through our lost-in-the-1960's beach town of Encinitas with its charming cafes, boutiques and galleries – the quintessential Southern California Beach Town. There are no other Bed & Breakfasts in San Diego closer to the ocean.

The second-floor Penthouse Suite and the private owner’s quarters have panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Every room in the inn and owner’s quarters are beautifully furnished. The elegant interiors of our guest rooms recall a lovely European Seaside Inn.

Each of the four guest rooms has a private bath. The stunningly beautiful 1550 square-foot one-bedroom owner’s quarters features a window wall facing the Pacific Ocean, vaulted ceilings with skylight windows, two (his & her) baths, two (his & her) offices and a 2-car garage.

The Inn At Moonlight Beach is owned by Terry Hunefeld and Ann Dunham. When Terry retired at age 55 from his position as CEO of a San Diego training company in 2008, they purchased and totally renovated the former SeaBreeze Inn Bed and Breakfast.

One of the key reasons Terry retired was so that he and Ann could spend more time traveling and enjoying the paradise that is SoCal. With those goals mind, they set out to create an operation that would at once be a highly desirable location for travelers, while at the same time creating a business that runs on autopilot.

Today, 95% of the Inn’s business is booked via the Inn’s on-line reservation system leaving Ann and Terry free to go birding, lead Audubon trips to sea, jog on the beach, go on long walks with Max the Wonderdog, attend the symphony, dine out with friends, fly their Cessna to Catalina Island, take their RV camping in the mountains and desert, travel to Europe and the Caribbean with their daughters, attend Shakespeare festivals in Canada and picnic at concerts in the park with friends.

Fire up Google to see why our occupancy rate is so high. We are #1 on Google in many searches: type into Google “Encinitas hotels” or “Encinitas Bed and Breakfast” or “Solana Beach hotels” or “Solana Beach bed and breakfasts” or substitute the communities Del Mar or Carlsbad or Cardiff-By-The-Sea or Oceanside and watch us come up on page one of Google. Visit our website and see how our reservation system does all the heavy lifting so that we can enjoy our retirement.
