Roomy and convenient to the beach
Very pleased with our stay at Laguna Operetta. The condo was roomy with plenty of space for 5 adults. The kitchen was equipped well for folks like us who like to cook. There were sharp knives, all sizes of pots and pans, as well as plenty of serving and storing dishes. Nice to have the beach towels available for use. The back deck was perfect for enjoying morning coffee or and evening beverage. The master bedroom upstairs is plenty big enough for a port-a-crib if you travel with little ones. Quick walk to the beach, Night Heron Park, and the Sanctuary. Also really liked having the bike and beach chair storage under the unit. FYI, we have stayed at various places in Kiawah over the last 28 years. We would definitely rent this one again.

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!

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!

Really nice property
This is a lovely property. Right on the pond and 5 minutes to the beach. Nicely decorated nice linens, Nicely appointed kitchen, with lots of pots and pans, knives that are actually sharp, plastic storage containers. Just make sure you bring all your own other kitchen supplies. There are No napkins, plastics wrap, baggies of any sort, aluminum foil, no sugar, no spices at all other than salt and pepper. If I had known that, I would have packed it. That’s my only issue. It was surprising since everything else was so well appointed. However, it’s a lovely home. I would stay again. Management company was super responsive to questions.
