4747 Marina Dr

A low-rise, single-story condominium community developed in 1976 and organized as a small enclave of roughly 30 units along the Agua Hedionda Lagoon in Carlsbad. Buildings present a coastal, mid-century residential scale with private exterior access, wraparound balconies or large covered decks for many units, and waterfront-facing orientations that maximize lagoon views. Typical residences are two-bedroom, two-bath floorplans featuring open living/dining layouts, primary suites on the main level, built-in storage and walk-in closets, and interior finishes that range from original mid-century detailing to periodic modern renovations (granite/quartz counters, recessed lighting, hardwood or tile floors). Common facilities read like a resort: a heated pool and spa, sauna, clubhouse with recreational spaces and BBQ areas, dock and marina access, and assigned boat slips or lifts. Parking consists of two-car garages (often tandem) with additional designated spots; some buildings provide elevator access despite the low-rise profile. The association manages utilities and common maintenance, typically covering water, trash, sewer and cable. Pet-friendly rules and boating-oriented exterior amenities reflect a community lifestyle centered on waterfront recreation, proximity to beaches and Carlsbad Village retail, and easy access to lagoon trails and neighborhood schools.
