Great location and a well stocked room. It’s small but then who goes to Sanibel Island to stay inside all day. There are two pullout drawers under the bed so space is maximized. I will definitely stay here again.
Our stay at the west end paradise was amazing! the little cottages are in a quiet neighborhood street and its less than 10 min drive to the beach. The place has everything you need for a week stay, super clean and cute place!! absolutely recommend!
The beach is about 1/2 mile walk away, great for shelling and quite secluded. The room is small but is a good value for the location. We used the rental cart to bring chairs to the beach to watch the sunset.
room was small but ok for the 2 people. Some confusion about kitchen supplies. Had plates and cups, a bit surprised at no coffee. Did find eating utensils after awhile.
Such a pretty place in a quiet neighborhood. Looking forward to coming back soon. Loved that bikes, beach items were there for us to use. But loved getting up and sitting on the dock looking at the pond with all it's wildlife in the morning. And the short walk to the private beach was just what the doctor ordered.
Lovely lovely cottage a short walk to a private beach. Beach gear in the closet (two chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler!). We rode the available bikes to the beach everyday- 3 minute bike ride! Nice lagoon in the back to watch the pretty birds. Room is quaint-just right for 2 people for a 3-day stay! We will for sure be back!
(The bed is not comfortable but we made due!!!!) :-)

I love everything about this property .
I love everything about this property .. location, pond and wildlife, easy access to the beach. The room was very clean! The shower looked rather new. However, the blinds are bent and broken and small throw pillow is stained and faded. The door is very hard to open and appears to need some trim work completed. The bed was very noisey and the headboard wobbled.
I would not consider this room a 5 star room.
Property was very clean. Great location close to Captiva and Sanibel. Bathroom was nice and clean. Only complaints: 1. Beach Parking Pass is ONLY for use on the property’s beach access. I wish this was more clearly stated on the room literature as we found this out the hard way! $150 parking ticket! 2. The bed is awful. Not very comfortable at all. That’s about it. The space is small, like a budget hotel room small. But we didn’t spend a lot of time there. Between the bed and one very uncomfortable chair there was no place in the room to get comfortable for me.
3. The bikes that are supplied are old and not in great working order ( The pedal kept falling off one of them! ) Sanibel/Captiva is a beautiful place. If you’re looking for a 5 Star Resort keep looking. (And there are lots of them on this Island but big $$$$) This is a nice hotel room on a beautiful beach for a reasonable price. I probably wouldn’t choose this again but we did have a great time!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
I booked this room for 3 nights but ended up leaving after 1. This is a very small room. The bed is horrible and sleep was impossible. Overall, the extremely small space could be uograded with a small investment (new bed, new window treatments) and you could than call it quaint but as it stands now my suggestion would be to save your money and keep looking.
