After nearly three years of tireless rebuilding, Casa Ybel Resort proudly welcome backs guests with the restoration of all 40 of its beachfront units—restored, reimagined, and ready to welcome guests back to the island they love.

In 2022, Hurricane Ian struck. Then came Helene and Milton in 2024, each leaving behind more than just physical destruction—they tested the very spirit of Sanibel. But from the wreckage rose resilience. What was once waterlogged and wind-worn has now transformed into a vibrant symbol of coastal recovery, thanks to the dedicated team at Clive Daniel Home and the visionary work of award-winning hospitality designer Maryanne Hubbell.

From shattered screens and overturned furniture to fresh furnishings, custom upholstery, and serene coastal palettes, every unit at Casa Ybel now tells a story of thoughtful transformation. Private screened balconies offer sweeping Gulf views. Interiors are layered in comfort and elegance—complete with king bedrooms, twin guest rooms, sleek bathrooms, and fully equipped kitchens ideal for families and friends reconnecting with the rhythm of the sea.

“This was more than a renovation—it was a redemption story,” said Maryanne Hubbell. “Every design decision was made with heart and heritage in mind. We wanted guests to return not just to a space, but to a feeling.”

The restoration involved over a dozen truckloads of custom furnishings and debris removal coordinated by Clive Daniel Home’s elite delivery team. From upgraded HVAC systems to brand-new windows, sliding doors, and staircases, every detail was meticulously executed to ensure safety, beauty, and modern comfort—without losing the soul of Sanibel.

Now open and accepting reservations, Casa Ybel Resort invites former guests and first-time visitors alike to experience the beauty of what’s been rebuilt. The island is ready. The views are back. And the spirit of hospitality is stronger than ever.
