Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I’m thrilled you enjoyed that "great view of wildlife."
There is something so peaceful about watching the herons, egrets, and turtles right from the property—it’s one of our favorite things about this location, too! We’re so glad you got to experience that side of Sanibel's natural beauty.
It was a pleasure hosting you at Dream Vacation Rentals, and we would love to have you back for more nature-watching soon!
Very clean and quiet. Great private beach access that is an easy walk.

Thank you for the 5-star review! I am so glad you enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and found the unit very clean. The private beach access is definitely one of our favorite features, and I’m happy to hear the walk was easy for you.
We would love to host you again for another relaxing beach getaway!
Super clean, remodeled comfortable unit in a nice quiet neighborhood. Access to the beach at the end of the street. Well equipped and got great sleep in the comfy beds. Communications with host were great, no issues. Beach towels and some equipment provided which was very nice.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are thrilled you enjoyed the remodel and found the beds so comfortable—getting a great night’s sleep is a vacation must! It’s also wonderful to hear that the beach gear and quiet neighborhood made your stay even more relaxing. We pride ourselves on clear communication, so we're glad you felt well-supported. We’d love to host you again for another beach getaway!
I highly recommend this property. It was very clean with a beautiful yard on the river. Only recommendation I would make is to have Keurig Coffee Maker. This is what most people have so buying a can of coffee is a waste for most of us.

Thank you so much for the high recommendation! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the clean space and our beautiful yard on the river. We really appreciate the feedback regarding the coffee maker—it’s a great suggestion, and we are actually looking into adding a Keurig (or a dual-pot system) to give our guests more options. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to see you back by the river soon!
House is a great size. Like the bed but it was rather high. Had to jump to get in! I’m short. Fun seeing alligators in the canal next to the property. The beach was great! No one there.

Thank you for the 5-star review! I’m so glad the house was a great fit for your stay and that you enjoyed having the beach all to yourself—that's one of the best parts of the island. It’s also exciting that you spotted some gators in the canal; they certainly add to the local flavor!
I appreciate the feedback regarding the bed height. While we chose those mattresses for maximum comfort, I completely understand the struggle if it's a bit of a climb! I'll look into adding a small, discreet step stool for the room to make things easier for our future guests who might be on the shorter side.
We’d love to have you back for another 'jump' into paradise soon!

Nice clean room. Very comfortable bed. Great communication
The toilet paper & paper towels were very poor quality. I think you could upgrade a little. TV was fine. AC was fine. The microwave, toaster oven, & coffeepot threw the breaker & we had a hard time resetting it. Had to try a couple of times. You might want to recheck the wiring. There was a lot of debris in the pond/lagoon. A table & chair had been throw in. But the alligators, birds, & snakes did not seem to mind it. Our unit was very quiet - did not hear anything from the neighbors.

Thank you for your feedback and for the four-star rating. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and the local wildlife sightings, but we sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered.
We take your comments regarding the electrical breakers very seriously. We have scheduled a maintenance visit to inspect the kitchen wiring and ensure the microwave and small appliances are functioning safely and properly. We also appreciate you bringing the debris in the lagoon to our attention; we will reach out to the grounds team to have the furniture and items removed immediately to restore the view.
Regarding the paper products, we hear you—we are currently reviewing our supply quality to ensure a more comfortable experience for our guests. We value this kind of direct feedback as it helps us improve the property for everyone.
We hope to have the opportunity to host you again with these improvements in place.
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.
Perfect quiet getaway with the reserve on one side and the ocean on the other!
Unit was perfect, exactly met our needs. House was cleaned and stocked on arrival. Private beach access was wonderful and neighborhood was quiet and peaceful! We love units and would love to bring our entire family and rent all the units for West End!

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.

Thank you for your review. We are so glad to hear you found the unit beautiful and the grounds well-kept; we will certainly pass along your compliments to our housekeeper.
regarding the amenities, we want to clarify for future travelers that our listing does disclose that the laundry room is shared, and we include a photo of the shared facility in our image gallery to ensure transparency. We also do not have 'dishwasher' checked in our amenity list.
We appreciate your feedback on the screen door and the fitted sheets; we will have our maintenance team fix the screen and look into deeper pocket sheets for that mattress immediately. Being close to the preserve does bring nature with it, so we appreciate the heads-up to future guests about the no-see-ums. We hope you were still able to enjoy the close proximity to the beach

The dishwasher was a bit difficult to shut , but a part from that everything was great
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.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review and for your continued loyalty to Dream Vacation Homes! We were so sorry to hear about the plumbing issue you encountered upon arrival at our condo. We understand how frustrating and disruptive that must have been, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience it caused.
We're incredibly grateful that you reached out to our emergency number, and we're thrilled that our team was able to resolve the situation quickly.

Our goal is always to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay for our guests, and we appreciate your understanding regarding the unforeseen issue.
We're delighted to hear that you were able to salvage your dream vacation despite the setback.

We would love to welcome you back again and ensure a flawless experience from start to finish.
In the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or require further assistance.
We enjoyed the private beach, complimentary bikes and watching the birds and turtles in the backyard. The place was clean and well-kept! Old Florida at its finest.
I can't say enough good things about this location. Private beach, loads of shells, so many shore birds, a quiet neighborhood....we had a wonderful time!!
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.
