Spoiler alert - this will be a very positive review. I’ll save a few nits for the end, but this was a great trip for us.
Pre-arrival. Lots of tremendous communication from the owners. We felt super-prepared upon arrival.
Lands End is a gated resort, and the gate staff was helpful both on the phone before arrival as well as when we pulled in. Even arriving late, they were ready for us and directed us accurately to our building and assigned parking spot.
The unit has lots of updates. Kitchens and baths are consistent in both look and feel. Kitchen was fairly well stocked - plenty of plates and silverware. Equipment was about what you’d expect in a rental - functional but not high-end.
There were a good amount of starter supplies - paper towels, toilet paper, wash pods for clothes & dishes, and trash bags. Hand and bath soap was also available. Two of us were there for a week and we never felt like we were going to run out of anything. The right-sized TVs all had instructions with them; the WiFi was good quality & easy to setup.
The view. The unit faces directly west. Amazing views. The dunes are high enough that you can’t really see sand from the windows, but you know it’s there. We were always out at dinner for the sunsets, but the unit SHOULD be perfect for taking those in. The balcony is average sized and has plenty of space for four chairs and a small table. Probably not enough for more than two people to dine, but still very good. It’s accessible from both the living room and the master.
The beach area was nice. It was easy to get to using the composite decking walkways from the resort There are a couple chairs provided in the unit. They did the job and the price was right. The resort is appropriately called Lands End, as you are at the southern end of Treasure Island. You get some walkers, but for the most part, the only people there in your area are also staying or living at Lands End.
We didn’t use the pool or whirlpools, but we walked by them and they seemed well-cared for. Also of note is the grounds on Lands End. All the landscaping is kept up regularly, and is done well.
Just because I never write a “perfect” review, here are two nits: the water pressure isn’t the best; I’m assuming the entire resort is that way; not terrible, just not as strong as we’d like. You also get some evening noise from the Toasted Monkey across the way, but it's not terrible. All negatives are minor; will be staying here again!
