There is a full bathroom in the suite as well. Need more room? ... add unit "Sanddollar 7" for an additional bedroom with king sized bed and full bathroom. All of our units come with beach towels, access to the charcoal bbq grill, outdoor seating, high speed wireless internet, cable TV and air conditioning for those tropical Island summers.   Only one parking space per unit.

*Important Note: This rental does not include beach chairs or umbrellas. Instead, we’ve partnered with VayKLife to provide you with a credit toward beach essentials like chairs, umbrellas, coolers, wagons, and more—so you can pack light and still enjoy everything you need for a perfect day at the beach. While some of our homes may have beach gear on-site, availability varies, and we cannot guarantee specific items will be provided. With VayKLife, you get to choose exactly what you need, and they’ll deliver it right to your door for added convenience. Your booking confirmation includes a link to VayKLife’s site, where you can browse their full selection and easily redeem your credit. It’s just one of the ways we help make your stay as seamless and enjoyable as possible.

This property was very clean and had all of the necessities for a short stay. We loved the location and appreciated access to a private beach. All of the furnishings were updated and comfortable, and the addition of delivered beach supplies and bikes was a plus.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that the updates and furnishings made your stay comfortable and that you had everything you needed. It’s great that you were able to take full advantage of the private beach access along with the bikes and beach gear delivery—we find those little extras really help our guests dive straight into "island mode." We would love to host you again for another stay at the West End soon!

The place was very nice with everything you may need to stay a few days! Walking distance to the beach and short drive to other beaches. A bit far from restaurants or other amenities but fair for the price considering the market in the island

Thank you for the 5-star review! I am so glad to hear the condo was well-equipped for your stay and that you enjoyed being within walking distance to the beach. We definitely aim to provide a 'no-surprises' getaway, and I appreciate your perspective on the location. While we are tucked away in a more peaceful part of the island, many of our guests find that the short drive to local restaurants is a fair trade-off for the quiet beach access and value we offer. We would love to welcome you back for another great stay soon!

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 July 2025
Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you appreciated the updates to our property! We're very sorry to hear about the issues you encountered during your stay, especially regarding the coffee pot and the amenities. We provide all guests with a list of starter supply amenities prior to arrival to help them plan and avoid any shortages. This list details what's included and what guests may want to bring or purchase for longer stays. We also want to assure you that our team is always ready to assist right away with any concerns guests might have. We didn't receive any communication from you during your stay about these issues. Had we known, we would have immediately addressed them, including the hot water in the kitchen or any missing supplies. Our property was completely renovated after devastating hurricanes, and we've put a tremendous amount of effort into making it as comfortable and accommodating as possible for our guests. We're constantly working to improve and truly regret that your experience wasn't what it should have been. We hope you'll consider staying with us again so we can provide you with a much better experience.

Sorry about the parking. We do ask that everyone just use one spot and park as neatly as possible. With just two buildings, you aren't far at all from either side of the lot

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!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of West End Paradise! We appreciate your feedback and insights, especially for those unfamiliar with our layout. We're glad you enjoyed the tranquility of West End Paradise. Many guests choose us specifically for the peace and quiet, surrounded by nature. Regarding the signage and unit confusion, we understand your experience. We've recently reviewed our signage and are working on improvements to make locating specific units easier, especially at night. We also appreciate you mentioning the helpfulness of the Dream Vacations representative. It's true that West End Paradise isn't within walking distance of restaurants. However, we do provide information on nearby dining options at check-in, and many fantastic restaurants are just a short drive away. We're happy to hear you found the living area and screened porch spacious. We acknowledge the bedroom and bathroom might be on the smaller side, which is typical for some of our one-bedroom suites. We encourage guests to review the detailed descriptions and photos of each unit type before booking to ensure a perfect fit for their needs. Thank you again for your review. We hope to welcome you back to West End Paradise in the future!

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.

I really enjoyed my stay. I especially loved the fact that each property had beach gear available! Everything worked fine and I had no issues! The only suggestion I have is to change out the shower head in unit 3! I really had little to no interaction with team members. The few I did see smiled and seemed friendly.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review! We're glad the one-bedroom unit met your needs for a quick weekend getaway. We appreciate you mentioning the convenience of the beach parking pass. It's definitely a perk to be within a short walk of the coast. We apologize that the kitchen was a bit limited on utensils. We'll take your feedback into consideration and see if there are ways to better equip it for future guests who plan on cooking in. As for the resident alligator sighting, that can be both exciting and a reminder to stay alert in nature! We hope you had a wonderful time overall and would love to welcome you back again soon.
