We loved our stay in Emerald cove. This c”gated community is perfectly located close to the beach, great restaurants and shopping. We have two small pups and the fenced back and front yards has plenty of room for them to run around and explore. The landscaping is spectacular and sitting in the covered back patio just gazing at the yard in the cool San Diego air was wonderful. The upstairs bedrooms have lovely panoramic views of the ocean. The kitchen is excellent and is equipped with every gadget,, pot and pan you could want! There is even a vitamix and a hot pot (I think) which we didn’t use. There are plenty of linens and soft towels and loads of Beach toys in the garage including boogie board and a surf board. Kids Beach toys and a beach wagon reflect that the owners clearly have kids and known a family’s needs. The only downsides were that the primary bedroom just had two lamps and no canned lights and getting our gym passes was a hassle but those things would not affect our returning. We would definitely rent this property again.
