Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island epitomizes the sanctuary, old island spirit of Sanibel Island. Casa Ybel maintains its own sanctuary, where ibises, pelicans and other birds come to rest in Florida’s friendly climate. The resort’s Thistle Lodge restaurant serves as the heart of Sanibel Island’s social life. Enjoy the panoramic view of Sanibel’s legendary white sand beach from any of the 1 or 2 bedroom suites. The suites are spacious and comfortable. Casa Ybel guests are steps from a 14 mile stretch of pristine, white–sand beach, world–famous for its carpet of tropical seashells.
