inspiration from West Indies coastal designs
that are not only functional, but also distinctive
in character.
A clear goal of the developers of Laguna Harbor
was to offer a variety of high-end properties
that worked together as a compatible whole.

established the Architectural Guidelines and
Design Regulations to accomplish the goals.

Cove: Across the channel and in the heart of
Laguna Harbor is The Cove, a collection of 50
exceptional quarter-acre home sites with a true

a boat slip directly at the front door. Here,
50 zero-lot-line homes feature four different

and several uniquely designed elevations. Our
top architects and builders collaborated to
create exquisite living spaces that include
