It’s ideal for families, dog owners, and anyone looking for a low-key beach break.

Great location and closest ive been to the beach very short walk to beach. Nice pool kids liked it. Being nest to the nature preserve was nice. And great location to shopping and dining.
The view in this unit is amazing. With the miller and a half of nature preserve too the both of the condos, this part of the beach feels almost like a private getaway (especially for early morning walks). The AC worked well and the Condo served is purpose well of housing or family of 4.
We have stayed at this condo several times. It’s the best for beach location-private beach to stroll on. The condo is always neat and clean, there are 2 pools and it is very close to barefoot landing and Myrtle beach attractions. The owners are always pleasant to work with and we plan on staying here in the future!
We stayed at Lands Ends the past 3 years....we had to find another condo to stay at since the last owner sold their condo......Miles of private beach....NEVER crowded!!
An incredible private beach with one of a kind views of the ocean!! This is our 4th year staying here, and it checks all the boxes for us!! We would like to see some updating of exterior balconies and furniture for open balcony, fixing of the door between balconies, as well as interior peeling of wallpaper and older dishwasher. Excellent communications with property manager!

Thanks for letting us know. Based on your comments and one other we have replaced property manager and cleaning service. Since then we have had 5 reviews of 5*****.
The unit that we stayed in was very nice and had a great view of the ocean and nature reserve.
I was contacted prior to our trip and I was provided with many details of the property.
I was disappointed with the pool - it was supposed to be heated but it was colder than the ocean.
The beach area and property was nice. The one thing we did not like was that there was not much to walk to in the area besides the beach ( stores etc)
But we loved that shopping and restaurants were very close ( driving distance)
Great location, property was clean except some previous guest's pets must have had accidents and there was a strong smell of urine in the living room and bonus room. We were really looking forward to sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view but one balcony had railing that was falling apart and the door adjoining the two had to be wedged shut with chairs as it was broken. The chairs on the porch
This area is INCREDIBLE. It’s not as crowded and it is pet friendly (super plus for us!), but very very nice and clean. The balcony view is wonderful!! Swimming pool and beach areas are pristine. You don’t have to walk across a mile of blazing hot sand, either. You are RIGHT ON THE BEACH. Unit had so much room. It’s more like an apartment, which is good with big families! Felt very cozy and at home here. Full kitchen with most everything supplied too. We had an absolute blast here. Thanks so much for having us! We will be back!

Great view and location
Great view. Great location. Lots of minor issues that add up. Nothing major. Very outdated but still functional. Great layout of property. Could have been cleaner but was fine overall. Felt it was a lil pricey for all the deferred maintenance that is needed. Owner easy to work with. Would stay there again if traveling with dogs. Bring your knife sharpener if you plan on doing any cooking. Could use a quality skillet. Overall good stay.

Lands End Review
Except for the exceptional beach, this unit and for that matter the entire complex needs a complete renovation. The unit itself was furnished with outdated furniture, a lot of mirrors and in desperate need of new paint, appliances and lighting. The same could be said for the entire exterior of the complex. Everything needs cleaned, painted and brightened up. It really is dark and depressing just the opposite of what you would expect from a beach rental. We just expected much more and was very disappointed in the rental.
Our stay was really great. It gave us a chance to spend time with our adult children. There was enough space for all of us. The property manager was great. On the first day there was an issue with a broken picture frame and glass. She had a cleaning crew out right away that morning. There were a couple inaccuracies in the listing - we did not need to bring our own sheets (which we did) and the listing mentioned an umbrella for the beach which we could not find. The closets were not empty when we were there. The main bedroom has boxes in the bottom of the closet which made it difficult to hang sundresses. The guest room closet was completely filled with the owners things. On a very positive note, the kitchen small but had everything we needed to prepare family meals. The table was able seat all six of us so we could eat together and play games at night. The views were wonderful. Getting up early to watch the sunrise from the porch was a fantastic way to start the day! Thank you for sharing your place with all of us and our little dog!

Dated and Dirty
The location of this property is fantastic! Unfortunately, that's the only thing it has going for it. The furniture and beds are very out of date and uncomfortable. The master bedroom mattress was very hard an uncomfortable, the bedroom with full bed had pee stains on mattress and it was worn out, and bedroom with futon bed was filthy under the bed and carpet was missing. The unit had a dehumidifier and air purifiers leading me to believe they had a moisture/mold issue in past. The balcony had a broken/loose railing causing a possible safety concern. Also, chair on balcony was broken, but covered by a cushion making it look useable. Coffee pot had mold and kitchen utensils were out of date and didn't work well. I would not recommend this unit and do not think it's worth the rental price we paid for a week.
As stated above, you can’t beat this location and views of the Atlantic. Great beach, very clean and not very busy. Having the nature preserve next to the property gives you a great sense of escape from all the touristy areas to the North & South. This all being said, the condo itself is very dated and definitely could use updating. Very questionable elevators and the exterior areas could use updating as well. Overall, we had a great time and would love to return if the place is updated. We definitely thought the price was a little steep for the quality of the condo itself. Even after factoring in the location.

Enjoyed the location it was between Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing. Facility was clean.
Great location, beautiful ocean views and pet friendly. Other than the condo needing updating, it did the job. The condo has all the amenities of home. Be sure to turn on the dehumidifiers as soon as you get there.
Every year we spend a week in Myrtle Beach. This property is definitely a favorite. Clean space and the beach was beautiful. Family friendly with nearby attractions.
Beautiful condo with plenty of room for our small family and dog. We loved the beach front, ocean view balconies. The pools were clean; the condo immaculate. We would definitely stay with Steve again!
This rental is outstanding for a quiet get away to Myrtle Beach!! It is right next to a preserve so it is not crowded at all. The property is great-all the things we need. The owners are fabulous to work with. We have rented this property several times and will definitely rent again for our next trip to the beach!

About the host
Hosted by Steve W. Schwartz
I’m a family medicine physician who had the joy of living in this oceanfront condo for many years. I’ve always loved the peace and beauty of this spot—morning runs by the water, fresh ocean air, and quiet evenings on the porch. It’s a place that brings me a lot of calm and joy, and I’m happy to now share it with others.
Why they chose this property
As a family medicine physician, I sought a tranquil retreat after demanding days at the clinic. This condo, nestled in the serene Lands End community of Myrtle Beach, provided the perfect sanctuary. The peaceful ambiance, complemented by the gentle sound of waves and the absence of high-rise developments, offered an unparalleled sense of relaxation.
What truly captivated me was the proximity to the 500-acre Meher Spiritual Center, a preserved forest ensuring the surrounding coastline remains untouched for generations. This unique setting allows for a harmonious blend of nature and comfort. Additionally, the condo's features, including a reverse osmosis water purification system and an advanced dehumidification setup, ensure a refreshing and health-conscious living environment.
Living here has been a rejuvenating experience, and I'm delighted to share this haven with guests seeking both relaxation and a touch of nature's splendor.
What makes this property unique
There are plenty of condos in Myrtle Beach—but this one offers something rare. Right out your back door is what feels like a private stretch of beach, bordered by a 500-acre nature preserve that has remained untouched for generations. To the left, you’ll find peaceful dunes, wide open shoreline, and a quiet, natural setting that’s unlike anything else in the area.
To the right, you’re just a short stroll from Apache Pier, where you’ll find a more typical beach scene with families, sunbathers, fishing, and a laid-back restaurant. Whether you're seeking solitude or activity, this location offers the best of both worlds—a peaceful retreat with easy access to fun.
