About this property

3 Minute Walk to Beach! Corner Townhome-Style Villa w/ Outdoor Decks & Incredible Lagoon Views.

Welcome to Laguna Operetta! Situated in the Windswept community alongside an expansive lagoon, this two story, townhome-style Kiawah Island villa truly gets you front row, VIP views of some of the amazing wildlife who live in our stunning maritime forest. A typical day at Laguna Operetta includes a bird show on the lagoon in the morning, followed by an alligator appearance on the lagoon's floating dock in the afternoon and concluded with a matinee lagoon performance by bales of turtles and flocks of birds. Located a short walk from the beach, Laguna Operetta also enables you to have quick & easy access to Kiawah Island's beautiful beach. With the ability to conveniently access the beach and enjoy the lagoon's showcase from the outdoor balcony, screened porch and nearly every room in the home, Laguna Operetta boasts a rare opportunity to reset your life stresses & harmonies by connecting with water and nature.

Kiawah Island is a private access, park-like gated community with a very unique conservation approach. Surround yourself in the splendor of Kiawah Island's stunning natural beauty, which features rolling sand dunes, lush seaside forests, beautiful marshland and freshwater ponds. You'll feel your stress levels melt away as you bike or walk the 30+ miles of trails, kayak through the marsh waters, hunt for sharks' teeth & shells on the 10-mile long beach along the Atlantic Ocean, spend a soothing afternoon at the spa, play a round of golf, take tennis lessons with a pro or read a book in a lounge chair on the beach. Be sure to check out Kamp Kiawah & nature programs for your kids, take a drive to nearby Charleston, SC and visit the tea plantation on Wadmalaw Island!

New Year 2025
My wife and I met my daughter and son-in-law at Kiawah along with my mother to catch up and relax after Christmas. The condo was in great condition and clean, and the bedrooms were extremely large. The bottle of wine and cookies that welcomed us were a nice touch. We had a great view of the lagoon (and the alligator that liked to “sun” himself on the raft) and were only a three-minute walk to the beach. The living and dining rooms were good sized, and we had plenty of room to catch up and unwind after a hectic Christmas. The property managers were very responsive to the questions we had and checked on us several times. We had a nice and relaxing New Year and thoroughly enjoyed staying here!

Always nice to return
This is our first time in Kiawah for Thanksgiving! What a great place to spend family time together. The house is situated in a very convenient location. Within walking distance from all of the attractions of Kiawah, but enough away to have a peaceful quiet time. We love this place and keep returning to the same house.

Professional Rental Team
The rental team did an outstanding job of communicating prior to, during and at the end of our stay. When we messaged them the response time was almost immediate and the property was "as advertised" with no surprises. I would book this property or other properties through this team without hesitation.

Great Space - Great Location!
The property was exactly as described. There were three of us here on a girls trip and we had plenty of room. Loved the deck overlooking the water and the 5 minute walk to the beach. Kitchen was well equipped although we took full advantage of the great nearby restaurants. Communication with host both before and during our stay was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Fabulous experience from start to finish
The entire experience was top-notch. Pre-check-in communications, to check-in, to the lovely condo during our stay, through check-out were all smooth and wonderful. The unit itself was beautiful and perfect for a group of 6 family members. The unit is centrally located, right next to the pool / the Nest, and a quick walk to the beach. We loved the two porches (one screened and another open deck) as they were perfect for morning coffee / book reading and again at night to enjoy the breezes over the lagoon and beautiful night sky. We also loved that the side porch felt like being tucked back in the natural area while the deck provided lovely views of the lagoon. The beds were all extremely comfortable! And it was so nice to have a room with twin extra long mattresses. We also enjoyed the beach towels vs bringing our own. This unit is exactly as it is described in the listing and we loved it! We will be back!

Stayed Several Times-- Always Excellent
We've stayed here several times, and it's always been perfect. Laguna Operetta provides a comfortable, spacious living arrangement with multiple indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy a quiet read amongst the lovely scenery. A brief scenic walk will take you to the beach and the Sanctuary eats, and a pleasant bike ride or short drive will take you to all of the convenient restaurants at Kiawah's downtown area. This condo is a mere forty minute drive to all of Charleston's splendor. Highly recommend staying here!
