Very nice updated property. But coffee pot was dirty with mold growing, no coffee filters, not enough pillows, and no hot water in the kitchen.Very disappointed in not enough toilet paper or paper towel, garbage bags or dish soap. If I am staying a week, charge me 20 extra and supply toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags. It is just a hassle.

Practically new, clean, all house keeping supplies available except hair dryer. Location of laundry unclear in description. Could use an internal bug zapper. Office staff customer friendly. Overall, an excellent facility will stay here again when we return to Sanibel.

after finally finding our place, VRBO gave wrong address. We enjoyed the cottage and was clean. Parking was strange due to others not parking by their cottage so we had to use others parking spots

A different Sanibel experience!
We stayed in a small group of cottages on Captiva 2 years ago, so this time we chose West End Paradise for that same one-story cottage lodging on Sanibel.
West End Paradise is very, very quiet -- almost hard to find your cottage/suite because it is quite dark on the grounds. We were not familiar with the combination of one-room, studio and suite lodging here, so we ended up being confused about how to find our #3 when the first possibility we saw was #3A. A rep from Dream Vacations promptly answered our phone call and helped us to find our way.
The one-bedroom suite we rented has a spacious living room / dining area and a pleasant screened porch in back. The bedroom is a little small, and the bathroom is very small (one sink with barely any counter space around it) but usable.
If you want to walk to any restaurants, etc, this is not the place for you. But if you want perfect quiet, nature all around, and no one above you, look it up and sort out the 3 different types of lodging!

We really enjoyed our walk to the beach each day. The neighborhood is beautiful! If you are looking for peace and relaxation, this is the place. We loved seeing the Herons and egrets in the pond just outside our door. Just a short drive to shops restaurants and the Nature reserve where we spent several enjoyable days.

Nice, cozy. A bit overpriced
Clean, well maintained. Furnishings and appliances a bit dated. Full kitchen and utensils. Nice to have bikes and beach furniture available at no extra charge. Blinds broken or missing in some places. Thought checkout a bit early (10am) considering check in isnt until 4 pm. Overall we enjoyed our visit

Convenient to beach
This 1 bedroom unit was sufficient for our needs. The beach parking pass will get you within a couple minute walk to the coast.
The unit was clean but the kitchen is lean. If you are driving and plan to eat in you may want to pack a kit with your favorite cooking utensils.
We saw the resident alligator on our way out.
Nice for a quick weekend away.

What a lovely clean vacation home! We really enjoyed our stay. Ryan was very quick to respond to my questions, Thanks Ryan! The screened in porch overlooks the pond. We enjoyed the wildlife; the gator, blue heron, turtles, fish, and lots of lizards. Five stars to housekeeping, one of the cleanest places we've stayed! The location is very convenient for seeing Captiva and Sanibel. We enjoyed fishing, biking, and of course shelling and watching the beautiful sunsets. Sanibel keeps calling us back! Hope to see you again!
