I live near Sunset Cove and work in Point Loma, so I have visited both Sunset Cove and the Shona/Cabrillo units. When I went to Shona, it was very noisy as they are building a school across the street. I also don’t love tandem garages (Sunset Cove has side by side) but it doesn’t matter that much for me (husband works from home). I do like the fact that Sunset Cove uses solar panels which roll your meter back, and also tankless water heaters. However, all of their units are 1400-ish s.f. so if you want a bigger place, Shona has some 3 and 4 bedroom units that are bigger. Also, if you are considering “bay view” units at Sunset Cove, I looked at one (I think unit 60 or 61) that had a bay view from the top floor (master bedroom), but the living room (middle floor) faced the back of a brown Century 21 building. Very ugly. Maybe some of the newer units will have better views, although I haven’t seen them start to build their next phase yet.
I visited Sunset Cove last October-November and they seemed sort of desperate but also reluctant to lower their price, which correlates with the large debt William Lyon has on this property.
