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!

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.

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.

The accommodations were more than we hoped for. The villa is located just a short walk to the beach. The rooms were very spacious. The kitchen was well stocked for all of our needs. The area is quiet and had a lot of shade that made the outdoor space very usable, even on the week of July 4th I n South Carolina. We will definitely choose this location on our next trip to Kiawah.

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.
Very nice and well appointed. This villa met our needs/wants perfectly. Kiawah Island is a great location if you want to get away from the crowds!

We loved the space and location. Everything was as described in the listing. We were a little bummed that beach gear wasn’t included but stated “usually” available.
