  • Inn Details

    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.

    If, like us, you want a warm, personal experience when you travel, the Kate Stanton Inn is the ideal destination in the San Diego area. Located in Encinitas, with its beaches and the Botanical Garden nearby, the inn is an island of tranquility where your every need has been anticipated by Liz and Carol, the charming innkeepers. Their attention to the big picture is reflected in an artistic renovation of the house, with its great room and fireplace, opening arches, saltillo tile floors, and beautiful furnishings. Liz's breakfasts will fuel a day's sightseeing (no need for lunch), and a late afternoon glass of wine by the fire makes for cosy conversation with the hostesses and other guests. We were very comfortable in our lovely bedroom and appreciated the thoughtful extras: a basket of toiletries should we have forgotten anything, a treat on our pillows at bedtime, and fresh water on the nighttables. Kai was a special treat. She is the gentlest of dogs and makes friends immediately. When you want her attention, she's right there. When you don't, she finds a sunny spot to lie down and won't hold it against you. In the end, it is Carol and Liz who made our stay truly exceptional. We entered their home as strangers and left as friends. Anne and Jan, Tucson, AZ

    What a wonderful world.

    Liz and Carol made our one year anniversary celebration very special. We enjoyed our great room, wonderful breakfast but especially enjoyed sitting by the fireplace and just chatting over a glass of vino. All of the extra TLC like the turn down service, the chocolate and cookie treats and the view of the ocean was spectacular. We will return sometime next year as our visit to San Diego was a treat!! Gracias Lizzy and Carol. PS: We miss Kai!!

    Great!

    Liz and Carol treated us like good friends. Liz picked us up and returned us to the train station. We look forward to seeing them again.

    Grandmother would be proud.

    This inn, named after one of the innkeeper's grandmother, is exquisite in every regard. The breakfasts are gourmet quallity, the accomodations and location are above and beyond as well as the attention to the most minute detail. But what makes this inn so special is the warmth and genuineness of the two innkeepers, Liz and Carol. From the moment we were greeted at the door by their dog Kai, we felt we had become part of a family. We highly recommend this inn and are looking for an excuse to go back as soon as possible.

    An incredible anniversary get-away

    My husband and I were fortunate enough to stay with innkeepers Liz and Carol for our anniversary. The room/house was immaculate, the food was delicious and the hospitality was overwhelmingly welcoming. I can't give enough compliments to them both and am grateful we had the opportunity to visit their inn. They treated us like loved family, yet gave us complete privacy and comfort.--Thank you both for everything!
