This is a lovely and very clean property; however, there were a few problems with the property manager.The unit is beautiful and very clean. The housekeeper is amazing. (Make sure you leave her a generous gratuity.) The area grounds are kept up nicely, but the unit it is next to a large body of standing water (and if very close to the wildlife preserve), and the no-see-ums are ferocious. The lanai is very nice, but the screens will not keep no-see-ums out - make sure to have a good insect repellent. (Also, during our stay, the screen on the lanai outside door was loose.)There is no washer and dryer in this unit. They are shared with the other units in the same building. Also, the kitchen is nice, but there is no dishwasher. (The current VRBO listing states that there is a washer/dryer and a dishwasher.)The king bed in the master bedroom has a nice thick mattress, but the fitted sheets are too small - they should be deep pocket sheets. The property manager will not provide extra towels or sheets. You have one set of sheets and will be told to wash them if you want clean ones. You will have to wash towels if you want additional ones, and there aren't a lot in the unit. If the unit had a washer and dryer, this would not be a big deal - we had to wait for a while.Also, the address given to us was wrong. It took a little while for us to notice in dark. (Our stay dates are shown incorrectly too.)The beach is very nice and very close.

It was a fantastic and the unit was modern with fantastic finishes. Very comfortable and cozy with a direct access to o e of the most beautiful peaful beaches in FL. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone especially families. The location on the island is centered so you are not close to anything but also not far to anything either. Fantastic place and the host was very attentive and always communicating with us.

Better After First Night

When we arrived at the unit there was water in the floor in the guest bathroom. I attributed it to perhaps the shower curtain not being put into the shower. Once we flushed the toilets a couple times we realized it was a plumbing issue and water ended up all over the bathroom floor and into the living area. I had to call the emergency number and luckily they were able to get a plumber out to the unit on a Saturday. Once the issue was fixed, they had the cleaners come back out to get everything cleaned up and provide fresh towels. They also allowed us to use another unit’s bathroom, that was vacant, until the problem was fixed. Overall, Dream Vacation Homes turned what could have been a nightmare weekend around. We love the West End Paradise complex for its location and access/free parking to a private beach. This was our second stay here and even with what happened we would stay there again.

Loved the location on the “quiet end” of Sanibel with a beautiful beach down the road. Property was clean and comfortable and other than a plumbing problem that was quickly fixed, we had a trouble free stay.
