Revitalizing a Beloved Sanibel Island Icon Post-Hurricane Ian
Sanibel Island, FL-August 2024 — Casa Ybel Resort and Hilton Grand Vacations Club, is excited to announce the near-completion of its extensive restoration efforts following the devastating impact of Hurricane Ian. Nestled along the iconic West Gulf Drive, one of the hardest-hit areas, the resort has been meticulously rebuilt with 18 fully renovated two-bedroom units, beautifully designed by Maryanne Hubbell of Clive Daniel Home.
The resort industry is abuzz with anticipation as this ambitious project promises to transform the Sanibel landscape. With an additional 40 units on the Casa Ybel Resort side scheduled for completion in August and September, the grand reopening is on the horizon. This eagerly awaited event promises an array of new amenities and features, set to delight both residents and visitors in the upcoming season. The reconstruction effort has been monumental, requiring over 12 truck loads and the elite delivery team from Clive Daniel Home to install custom-designed furniture and remove debris, including damaged furnishings from the hurricane.
Over the past two years, Casa Ybel Resort’s journey has been one of resilience and dedication, overcoming numerous challenges to preserve the cherished heritage of Sanibel Island. The renovation has included significant upgrades, such as new roofs, state-of-the-art HVAC systems, and the replacement of sliding glass doors, windows, and other essential fixtures. The resort’s structural integrity has been bolstered with the completion of exterior landings and staircases, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all guests.
Each renovated suite at Casa Ybel Resort offers breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico. The interiors have been thoughtfully designed to provide a luxurious yet comfortable experience, featuring a master bedroom with a king-size bed, a guest room with two twin beds, and both master and guest bathrooms. The spacious living room, equipped with a queen-size sleeper sofa, seamlessly connects to a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, offering all the comforts of home. Guests can unwind and enjoy the serene beauty of the island from their private screened-in balcony, mere steps away from the pristine white sand beach.
Clive Daniel Home and Casa Ybel Resort are delighted to welcome guests back to experience the renewed elegance and charm of this beloved Sanibel Island destination. The collaboration has ensured that each unit embodies the timeless beauty and relaxed atmosphere for which Casa Ybel is renowned, while seamlessly integrating modern amenities for an unforgettable stay.
