We absolutely loved staying at Tradewinds. It was clean, quiet, cool, old-Florida quaint, and the location close to a private beach can't be beat. The property is magical - we saw ibises, herons, iguanas, turtles and some seriously beautiful grasshoppers. We used the free bikes to bike 2 miles down the road to the Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge. Tradewinds beach was never crowded and had plenty of shells. The property is located in a quiet part of the island with little traffic. If I had to find something critical to say, the mattresses leave something to be desired - but that was a small sacrifice for the magic and beauty of this place. We would absolutely stay here again and enthusiastically recommend this place to other travelers!

Everything was so clean and loved that there were bikes, a beach umbrella and shell sifters. The decor was perfectly Sanibel!

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.

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.

Perfect beach get-away! Right next to the beach, really loved it.

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!
