    A rare combination of Baja-style relaxed living and the graciousness and charm of New England, The Kate Stanton Inn opens its doors to guests who seek casual elegance in their travels. Situated between the Interstate 5 Freeway and Pacific Coast Highway (old 101), the Inn sits atop a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Batiquitos Lagoon in North San Diego County, within walking distance from Carlsbad State beach. Our Inn offers bright, beautifully appointed guest rooms and an open floor plan. Relax, with the morning paper or evening brandy, in our family room, furnished in rich leather, warm woods, and a fire burning brightly on chilly evenings. Or enjoy afternoon tea or wine and cheese in our sunny living room, furnished in soothing pastels. Breakfast is served daily in the dining room, or, for a more intimate gathering, around the kitchen counter, chatting with the innkeeper. In spring and summer, meals and refreshments can be enjoyed on your private patio or balcony.

    Wonderful Encinitas Retreat

    May 09, 2013

    We stayed for 4 nights in the Nantucket room and enjoyed every minute. When we arrived Liz had cookies and lemonade for us. Our room was immaculate, spacious and quiet. Each night when we came "home" the fireplace was going, and we had water and mints by our bed. Breakfast was delicious and different each day. I actually went two of the days without lunch because I wasn't hungry! It was a pleasure to spend time visiting with Liz and Carol. We figured out this was the sixteenth Bed and Breakfast we've stayed in during our 18+ years of marriage and the Kate Stanton Inn definitely ranks at the top! We would recommend this Inn to anyone looking for a cozy place to stay in the San Diego area.

    The hosts, Liz and Carol are wonderful people and made my wife and I feel very much at home and welcome. The bedroom was very nice and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding and the hosts let us select the time that we wanted to eat. Also, located in a nice quiet neighborhood, close to access to Interstate 5 and other arteries for ease of travel during the day. Would stay there again and certainly will recommend the Kate Stanton Inn to our friends.

    Lovely, calm, relaxing

    March 09, 2013

    We stayed two nights. The decor of the entire house is beautiful, pleasant, and reminds me of an elegant beach cottage style. Very light and airy. The bed was very comfortable, the shower excellent, everything very clean and tidy. Our hosts Liz and Carol took very good care of us and were personable. They pay attention to detail: little things like a bathroom amenities basket, water at bedside, bed turned down, mint on nightstand, and bathrobes in the closets, all made us feel pampered. The breakfast both days was delicious and varied. If I am traveling to that area again, I will definitely book a room at the Kate Stanton Inn.

    Fantastic bed & breakfast

    February 21, 2013

    I traveled with my wife and 1yr old and we had a very enjoyable time. Liz was very accommodating with our needs and went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. Everything was really top notch. The rooms are excellent, the breakfast was great, and it was a very friendly environment.

    A Treasure

    January 18, 2013

    My wife and I stay with Liz and Carol back in October. We were there on an exploration of the area as we had decided to relocate to Carlsbad. When we were heading over we were running a little behind and called Liz to let here know. She was extremely understanding and reminded us to take our time and enjoy the trip. We did. When we arrived it was one of the nicest experiences I have ever had at a Bed and Breakfast, or anywhere. We were greeted with and nice glass of wine, cheese and conversation. Our housemates from Switzerland arrived soon after us and joined in on the fun. We had such a great time we completely blew off heading into town and hung out with Liz, Carol and the other guests. The next morning was another day of the same wonderful hospitality. Breakfast was an absolute joy. We followed that by running all over town and beyond. We were scheduled to head back home that afternoon, but decided we wanted one more night of The Kate Stanton Inn. It was worth it! Thanks Liz and Carol.

    We loved it!

    December 05, 2012

    We very much enjoyed our stay at the Kate Stanton Inn. When we returned at night lit candles and a fire in the fireplace welcomed us. Our daughters, five and almost three, especially enjoyed the talks with Carol in the mornings plus the fresh blueberries and raspberries. It was a delight.

    Nothing short of fabulous!

    November 21, 2012

    We LOVED our stay at the Kate Stanton Inn! Actually, you can't say anything that has not already been said. It's just wonderful! Liz and Carol were so welcoming and truly cared about us. This little Inn is more than the combination of a 5 Star+ Hotel and a loving home.

    A Home Away from Home

    November 03, 2012

    Carol and Liz greeted me with warmth and good cheer as if I were a long-lost friend. I have never been given such personal attention in a B& B; I felt a member of an extended family. The views of the ocean and lagoon from the patio are beautiful; the decor throughout the house is tasteful and comfortable. Everything is spotlessly clean. Robes are even provided.
