Land’s End Resort Policies
The following policies have been established and in practice for many years, and are based on industry standards, management and operational procedures.
As our guest, by reading and signing your hotel registration at check-in you are agreeing to abide by all our policies, terms and conditions.
Hotel Check-In
Check-in time is 4:00 PM. An early check-in can be requested at the time of booking but is not guaranteed. Registered guests must present a photo ID, and the credit card used for booking, at check-in. Only registered and listed guests will be issued keys at the desk with proof of identification.
Hotel Check-Out
Check-out time is 11:00 AM. Between mid-September and mid-May, a late check-out can be requested at the Front Desk but cannot be determined until the day of departure. *Late checkouts will not be available May through September.
Reservation Guarantee
Land’s End requires collection of a deposit at the time a reservation is made. This deposit will be equivalent to 1 night’s charges, including tax. Guests must be at least 18 years of age to register for a Hotel Room.
Cancellation Policy
A reservation must be cancelled by phone, email, or in person 48 hours prior to 4:00 PM on the arrival date to qualify for a full deposit refund. The deposit will be forfeited for any reservation cancelled after 4:00 PM two days prior to the reservation arrival date. Land’s End is not responsible for weather conditions, personal emergencies, or schedule changes that result in reservation changes.
Our location has one of the best views in the world, however, due to this location we are susceptible to natural events such as volcanic eruption, ashfall, earthquake and/or tsunami. An audible Tsunami Warning System in our area provides alerts to many of these dangers and may signal voluntary or mandatory evacuation. Land’s End does not provide refunds or discounts in these instances. Should you choose to evacuate your room and not return, there will be no refund given.
Early Departure Policy
If a guest requests to depart earlier than their scheduled departure date, any confirmed reservation dates occurring within the standard 48 hours of cancellation request will be charged in full.
No-Show Policy
If a reservation is confirmed but the guest does not arrive as scheduled, the reservation turns into a “No-Show”. When this happens, the initial deposit will be retained. Any additional nights on the reservation will be cancelled.
Smoking Policy
The Smokefree Alaska Law (AS 18.35.300 – 18.35.399) is a state law that prohibits smoking and vaping in workplaces and public places, protecting the health of all Alaska workers, residents and visitors. Smoking and vaping devices include e-cigarettes, vape pens/personal vaporizers and e-hookah, whether the device contains nicotine. Land’s End and its buildings, rooms, and decks/porches/balconies are 100% smoke free. The definition of smoking in the Smokefree Alaska Law includes marijuana smoking. Land’s End does not permit the smoking of tobacco, marijuana, illegal drugs, e-cigarettes, vape pens, etc. Under the Smokefree Alaska Law, smoking and vaping is not allowed within 20 feet of an entrance, open window, or heating or ventilation system air intake vent. Smoking is only permitted outside and at least 20 feet from any door or window. If there is evidence of smoking of any kind in your room or on the deck/porch/balcony, there will be a non-refundable charge of $200.00 plus tax.
Pet Policy
Land’s End does not allow pets on our premises or within our rooms. We do, however, allow ADA Certified Service animals per the ADA Rules and Regulations.
Under ADA, a service animal is defined as a dog or miniature pony that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the animal must be directly related to the person's disability. Emotional Support Animals are not permitted as they have not been trained to perform a specific job or task. Emotional Support Animals do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
Cooking Policy
The safety of our guests, staff, and this facility is extremely important to us. It is against hotel policy to have any cooking appliances (besides the provided microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker) in the rooms or on the decks/porches/balconies. Any guest out of compliance with this policy may be required to leave and/or pay a non-refundable damage fee of $200.00 plus tax. Grills are expressly prohibited from being used on any deck/porch/balcony.
Beach/Bonfire Policy
Fires are not allowed on the beach in front of the hotel or the restaurant. This is due to the extremely dry and hazardous conditions around the property, but also due to the high volume of complaints received when smoke permeates guest rooms. Burning driftwood is not permitted in the city of Homer. Small fires which do not interfere with other guests, and are smaller than 3 feet in height, width, and length, are permitted on city property north of Land’s End. However, we request that your fire be at least 50 feet from any building, stairs, or structure, below the high tide line, monitored continuously, and thoroughly extinguished. Fires and large gatherings on the beach will be restricted after 10:00 PM. If we receive any complaints due to a fire, we will require that it be extinguished immediately.
Excessive Cleaning Policy
If restoring the room to a standard rentable condition takes an extraordinary amount of time or effort, the reservation will be subject to maintenance, deep cleaning, administration, and/or third-party fees. Extra cleaning fees may be charged to guests who left rooms with excessive waste strewn around, left the room in an unsightly condition or in a state of disrepair. Labor to perform unexpected cleaning such as shampooing furniture or carpet, or removal of excessive amounts of garbage, and other non-typical services will result in additional cleaning fees to the guest at the rate of $35.00/hour plus tax.
Damages Policy
Damage to rooms, fixtures, and furnishings, including the removal of electronics, appliances, equipment, linens, artwork, etc. or any damage to hotel property, whether accidental or willful, is the responsibility of the registered guest for that room. Any costs associated with repairs and/or replacement will be charged to the registered guest.
Appliances & Cooking
All hotel rooms at Land’s End are equipped with a microwave, mini-fridge, and a cup-at-a-time coffee maker. Vending & ice machines are available in two locations on hotel premises with a variety of items that can be purchased with U.S. cash currency. Some items are also available for purchase in our Gift Shop when it is open.
Wellness Center
Our Wellness Center is for the exclusive use of our registered guests. It features an indoor sauna, small indoor heated soaking pool, and two outdoor waterfront hot tubs overlooking beautiful Kachemak Bay. The Wellness Center is open daily from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
