The front yard consists of a brand new sports court for Basketball, Pickleball, Volleyball, and enough parking for 10 vehicles... The backyard has its own private heated pool with built-in hot tub, layout chairs, outdoor covered tiki hut with big table and grill, also a boat dock on the lagoon, fish cleaning station with water and electric, fish bragging board, and oh yeah forgot to mention its own private beach with palm trees, hammocks and FIRE PIT!

Perfect for family reunions, traveling sports teams, corporate groups, church retreats, and multi-family getaways! We are nestled right on the tip of the 2,480 acre saltwater lagoon, next to Pier 33 and behind Ikes Beach Service with great public access to the famous white sandy beach and the Gulf of Mexico right across the street with a crosswalk. We have plenty of parking for all your vehicles, and even your boats too!
Its not just the outside space that is the only impressive attribute of Lands End, but rather the inside space boasts over 6000 square feet of living space as well.

At the beach directly across the street we look for shells and sand dollars on our early morning walks. We also catch a lot of whiting, pompano, redfish and flounder for dinner right off the beach while the kids play in the sand, ride the waves, and the ladies soak up the sun.
Cleaning fish is a breeze at Lands End because we have a covered fish cleaning station with running water, electric and even our own fish hanging bragging board for awesome fish pics! The fishing is incredible!
If you can't tell, we are fishing enthusiasts! Just contact us for our favorite shore fishing hotspots and baits. FYI, you can catch baitfish right from the dock!

There is a public boat ramp on the lagoon and you can keep the boat parked right at the dock all week!
Incredible fishing is right out the back door. Bring your boat and keep it parked in the water at the back dock all week or trailer it and park it out front ready for Dixie Bar, Perdido Bay, or Fort Morgan at your fingertips.... The little lagoon has great flounder, speckle trout, and redfish fishing. Especially fish the lagoon lighted docks at night! Or on a calm day head out the lagoon pass to the entire Gulf of Mexico and its many oil rigs within eyesight of the pass!
Moving on to other outdoor recreation, Ike's beach rental service is the ultimate neighbor for maximizing fun and convenience on your beach vacation!

They are located just 3 doors down from Lands End and carry a full line of grocery items, gifts, beach accessories, souvenirs, candy, snacks, bait & tackle, milk shakes, Krispy Kreme donuts, a nice upstairs coffee shop, and much more!
Our favorite Restaraunt in the entire area is Bahama Bobs! They are a small local joint nestled right on the beach and famous for great seafood poboys and burgers. It's just 1/4 mile walk and you can access from the street or the beach! For a great lunch at a tremendous value, head over to King Neptunes.
Gulf Coast Zoo is the "little zoo that could"... Our kids love visiting the zoo just 1.75 miles from Lands End! Lots of animals to interact with and feed!
The world famous Gulf Shores Hangout, Souvenir City, and Public Beach is just 3/4 of a mile from Lands End. Lots of activities going on there pretty much all summer long!

Great stay! There were 23 of us and there was plenty of room. The house was updated nicely and the beds were comfortable.
We used the basketball and pickle ball court daily, nice addition. We would stay again.
The perfect property for large families of all age groups. I could have packed a lot less!! There was an extensive array of beach toys, beach chairs, grills, kitchen supplies, beach wagon, and many other handy necessities for large families. Perfect location for any activity. Only thing I would suggest folks do is take beach towels.
We had 32 family member ranging in age form 18 months to 69 years. It was a short walk to the beach and everyone enjoyed the pool. The three units were great, the 20 somethings had one of the units and we never heard them coming in late at night. It was walkable for them to walk to lots of restaurants and the Hangout.
Ample of everything for us to cook most meals in and lots of parking.
Land’s End is an amazing place for a large family! 34 of us spent 5 days there. There was room for everyone to be both alone and together. Having basketball, volleyball and pickleball as well as a swimming pool, fishing dock, sand beach and hot tub all on site was something I never expected. Justin is a great host and communicated very well. The home was clean, beds were very comfortable and the location couldn’t be better. Fishing in the lagoon from the dock and less than a 5 minute walk to the gulf. They also had boogie boards and sand toys as well as 2 kayaks available.
The house was very clean. It is actually 3 condos that are joined together. Each condo has a separate living room and kitchen. There are doors between each condo that we left up open the whole time. We had 12 kids and 10 adults. The age range was 4 years old up to 68 years old. There was plenty of room for everyone. The walk to the public beach was only one block. We will definitely stay here again in the future!
Our week-long family reunion at this beach house was a dream come true for everyone, spanning ages 3 to 71. The three connected units offered the perfect balance of togetherness and privacy. The kitchens were well stocked with dishes, flatware, all types of cookware and appliances. With amenities like a private gaga pit, pickleball court, fire pit, pool, fishing area, and canoes, there was something for everyone. The short walk to the beach was a bonus, and ample parking and beach toys made logistics a breeze. Celebrating a birthday and engagement added to the magic of this perfect space for multiple families to come together and create lasting memories. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a spacious and well-equipped beach retreat.
Book this place for sure if have a large family and wide age ranges. It has it all! We had 30 in our group ages 10 months to 72 and the teens and adults played a lot of volleyball, basketball, pickleball, swam in the pool and of course the beach! House stayed nice and cool and owner replaced a fan broken on arrival.
Kitchen well stocked but just a heads up to maybe even things out between them (ie: spatulas, pans etc) on day one as we didn’t realize how much was over in the other two and would have been eaiser initially. Hard to keep that organized between guests I’m sure.
Lots of fridge space! 4 total! House good condition overall for multiple families in and out all summer. Justin was great as a host too! Would love to stay again.
PROS:
This property is actually 3 townhomes that have a lock off. They are spacious and beautiful. 25 family members stayed here with ample room. There are 3 living rooms and 3 FULLY stocked kitchens (right down to cooking spices!). The beach storage room was also a huge plus! No need to bring chairs as there are well over 20. So many beach toys for the littles were also available. Out by the pool included 2 large gas grills and a large black stone.
CONS
There’s only one bedroom on the 1st floor. Just in case you have several elderly family members, they may have to climb additions steps to get to their rooms.
The master bedrooms on back of house stay hotter. They have provided fans, but the rest of the house is cold due to trying to keep those rooms cooler
Beach access is a block down the street. No cut through directly to beach. They do provide wagons to pull your beach supplies making this easier to navigate.

This was great for a vacation with extended family.
There were activities for all ages -swimming, pickleball, fishing, fire pit at night. The house has plenty of room to be together or have privacy. We all loved it!
Great vacation place!We had 14 adults and 17 grandkids. Plenty of space for eating, cooking and hanging outWe used the following features of the home:Pool—#1 attraction, used about 10 hours per dayBeach—2 blocks away; #2 attractionPickle ballGaga ballBasketballFour square KayaksFire pitGrillPuzzles GamesPlenty of seating space for dinners
We absolutely loved this home! Check in was super easy. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, plates, silverware...We loved all the things to do there. It worked very well with the kids. The pool, the play area, the dock for fishing. Close to the beach. Would definitely come to this place again!
Our annual "Friend Tribe" beach trip. The house is perfect for the amount of cooking, bedrooms, and play space. The only thing that was lacking this year as opposed to previous year...the pool was not clean and the pool area had debris from the trees as well as remnants of water balloons. Otherwise, it was a nice as it always has been.
Our stay at Land’s End was absolutely fantastic! It suited our large family so well that we’re already talking about booking it for our next family vacation. Having three separate living areas was great with such a large group — the introverts could find a quieter space without having to be totally separated from everyone, while the extroverts could do their thing without disturbing anyone Everything was very clean upon arrival, the kitchens are so well stocked we didn’t want for anything, beds are comfortable, and the child lock gates to the pool area were very much appreciated. The pickleball court, kayaks, pool and hot tub, boat dock and easy beach access really set this place apart — there’s so much to do without even having to leave the property. A few more things we appreciated: pool bathroom, outdoor shower for rinsing off, fish cleaning station, and the guest closet with an extra fridge and all the pool or beach gear we needed. Land’s End surpassed what we thought was going to be impossible to find!!
The house was great for our group! We played lots of pickleball, used the pool day and night, close to the beach, walking distance to shopping and eating, fishing in back of property, enjoyed sitting around fire pit and making smores! We had plenty of room for everyone and loved having 3 kitchens and laundry rooms!! Had a great guest closet full of sand toys, beach chairs, fishing stuff, about anything you need for the beach and an extra fridge to keep drinks cold. It was a great vacation with friends to celebrate our boys graduating from HS.
This house was the absolute perfect size and location for our family! We didn’t want to leave! It had everything you need to cook and has lots of space to spread out and relax for a large extended family with multiple ages.
We stayed at the house for spring break with 6 families. The house layout is perfect to enjoy your own space but also have group time. The amenities are amazing! We loved having our own pickleball court/ basketball right on the property. It is a short walk to the beach. We caught crabs and little fish in the canal. The owner is perfect in answering questions and fixing issues quickly. The property is a true unicorn and we loved our time here.
Lands End was perfect for our large group. We all enjoyed the pickle ball, basketball court along with the warm pool. Jet less hot tub was disappointing but we survived. The location was ideal for the beach, shopping and eating out! We will definitely return one day! 😊
It was amazing! We had 18 in our group for this stay. A mix of Family friends and business partners. The place was amazing! Will definitely stay here again. It offered so much that we didn’t really have to leave the property. No one felt like they were on top of each other. It was awesome!! Thank you for creating such an amazing place
THe property layout is very convenient and accommodates several families.
Overall we had a wonderful vacation. The pool area is smaller than the pictures indicate. The internet/tv service was terrible especially in two certain rooms. It would not stay connected. There was plenty of room for our large group of 20 inside and outside. Loved the gulf shores area and we are planning to return
