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!

Lovely stay at Laguna Operetta with our grown children. The beds were very comfortable and the showers were great. We enjoyed the lagoon view and the quick walk to the beach. Our only minor complaint would be the small tv in the family room but understand the constraint of the nook it’s set into. Would definitely rent again!

Thank you, Lisa, for the kind review of Laguna Operetta! The lagoon view and the short walk to the beach are what keep people coming back to that one, and I'm glad it worked well for the whole group. We'd love to host you again. Steven, iTrip Charleston Beaches
You cannot see the beach but there is a pond view for wildlife. The kitchen was well stocked.

Great stay
We had a great time in this condo. It was a quick walk to the beach, centrally located on the island. The kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. The deck overlooking the lagoon was very nice as well.

Great villa in perfect location
We enjoyed our weekend in this villa very much. It was clean and the beds and furniture very comfortable. It is located very near the beach access and was a quick walk or bike ride to the beach. You can also easily walk to the Nest and the other places in Beachwalker Park. We also really enjoyed sitting on the back deck overlooking the lagoon.

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.
