My husband and I stayed at the West End Paradise from 4//12 to 5/4 2012. Our room contained everything we needed for the beach and shelling. Bikes were always available. The beach is a short walk or bike ride away. The proximity to Bomans Beach and Captiva Island is wonderful. My husband shelled at the crack of dawn every day.... More

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at West End Paradise and I wish we'd stayed longer. It is beautifully maintained by the owner Darwin, and offers excellent value for money as there are a lot of extras included in the price. The location is fabulous, peaceful and the gardens are full of exotic wildlife. Darwin couldn't be... More

West End Paradise, to me, is nearly perfect. A gracious and helpful host; spacious, spotlessly clean, and well-appointed accommodations; wonderful surroundings; only six units; everything one could need for the nearly empty beach; a 15-minute ride on a (free) bike to "Ding" Darling; and away from the hub-bub and congestion of the other end of the island. If you want... More

This place is a haven in heaven. It is off the track enough to avoid the Periwinkle Paralysis and accesses one of the sweetest beaches on the island.... where a busy beach day might have 10 other beach goers in view. Even the smallest room has all that is needed to get into the Sanibel rapture -- breakfast at the... More

My wife and I spent five days on Sanibel over New Years and spent the whole time at the West-End Paradise. We stayed in their smallest room, but it came very well equipped. We had a small frige, a microwave, plates, silverware, glasses, etc... It even came with beach chairs and a cooler. They have larger rooms with multiple bedrooms,... More

My husband and I traveled to Sanibel at the end of October and stayed for 8 days, through the first week of November. We stayed at West End Paradise, which was our first stay there. It will not be our last - we were very happy with our experience at West End. The inn is located in a quiet, residential... More

This is a wonderful small quiet well tended property on Sanabel island's west end. It has easy access to the beach and two nice pounds on the property. All you need is provided by the property owner, beach chairs, bikes, coolers etc. Very close to the nature preserve and close in but not too, for the islands commerical restaurant area.... More

We have just enjoyed our first trip back to Florida in over 2 years. This was our first visit to The West End Paradise, and we wished we had discovered it many years ago. What a place"! Excellent value for money on Sanibel. The housekeeping was immaculate. Darwin was very evident and thoughtful, ensuring that every whim was catered for.... More

It has been 8 years since I wrote my first review of the West End Paradise and my wife have stayed there likely 20 times since then. We even used it and the beautiful beach as the spot for our wedding in 2009. Those who have never been can see that there are 2 bad reviews. The first way back... More
