Irvine Cove, $20,500,000. The back side of this home completely opens up to a beautiful view of the ocean. 5 bedrooms with 7 baths, 3 car garage and 10,300 sq ft. 
Picture of Irvine Cove, beach is below the ledge.
Tunnel connecting Emerald Bay. This is a one lane tunnel. Traffic must stop on each side before entering....to make sure there is not another car on the other side.
Private volleyball courts at Emerald Bay.
Sitting on the patio of a $7,995,000 house in Emerald Bay. Beautiful view.....terrible parking. This home has 4 bedrooms and 5.5 baths.....and is about 4800 sq ft. An interesting point I want to make about this house.....the man converted one of the bedrooms to be his closet.....usually it is the female. The female has a large closet in the master bedroom. I still think the man's "closet" may be bigger.Emerald Bay and Irvine Cove
Today I toured homes in Laguna Beach. I am currently working with a client in this area so I want to make sure I know as many houses close to the beach as I can. The two main areas I went to were Emerald Bay and Irvine Cove. As you drive south on PCH from Newport Beach, you will pass Crystal Cove and then your first tract is Irvine Cove and then Emerald Bay. Both areas are guard gated. This is a very desirable area in Laguna Beach since they are north of the village and the traffic isn't as hectic. Irvine Cove has around 110 homes on both sides of PCH. There are currently 5 homes for sale ranging from $6 mil to $31.5 mil. There hasn't much for sales in this area.....very exclusive. Emerald Bay has about 524 homes on both sides of PCH. The picture above is of the small tunnel that connects both sides of PCH. A very unique fact about Emerald Bay is that it has it's own fire department within the community. Emerald Bay also has volleyball and tennis courts, park and beach. A much bigger community than Irvine Cove, it is also very prestigious and private.

I also would like to mention another two homes that I visited that are not in gated communities. There is a lovely 4 bedroom/3.5 bath home on Crescent Bay. This area is also north of the village. This home is definitely one meant to entertain in. It is listed at $5,600,000. The last one I visited is on Sunset Ridge. This is the home that has the master bedroom on the top level and the bedroom that was converted to a closet. There are two small rooms next to the master bedroom so it makes for a great family house. This home is priced at $4,495,000. This home is very nice, but didn't have the "wow factor" that I look for in homes this price.
