    What's special

    The quintessential beach house! Tucked behind the coveted guarded gates of Emerald Bay, this exquisitely reimagined coastal cottage captures the effortless elegance of one of Laguna Beach’s most exclusive private communities. Completely redesigned with exceptional attention to detail, this turnkey residence blends timeless coastal architecture with elevated modern luxury. Thoughtfully curated finishes include wide-plank flooring, marble countertops, artisan tile work, custom cabinetry, and beautiful windows that flood the home with natural light. The home offers five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, including a flexible guest suite configuration with two bedrooms and one bath privately accessed through a separate entrance — ideal for guests, extended family, staff, or a sophisticated work-from-home retreat. At the heart of the residence, an expansive open-concept living environment seamlessly connects the designer kitchen, dining area, and living spaces, creating an effortless backdrop for intimate gatherings and elegant entertaining alike. Indoor-outdoor living unfolds beautifully onto a private deck and sun-drenched backyard designed for relaxed coastal afternoons, al fresco dining, and memorable evenings under the stars. Just moments from Emerald Bay’s private white-sand beach, this exceptional property offers far more than a home — it offers a lifestyle defined by privacy, beauty, and effortless coastal luxury. Residents enjoy access to Emerald Bay’s world-class amenities, including private beach access, tennis and pickleball courts, swim center, parks, and a vibrant community atmosphere rarely found along the California coast. A rare opportunity to own a fully turnkey residence within one of Southern California’s most sought-after beach enclaves — where every day feels like a permanent vacation.
