Casa Ybel on Sanibel Island is a timeshare resort which embodies the timeless spirit of Sanibel Island. It is located on the beaches of Florida's sub-tropical Sanibel Island. Convenient to Southwest Florida International Airport, Fort Myers (and with easy accessibility from the mainland), Sanibel Island and the stunning Casa Ybel Resort both lie off the beaten path, where beaches are maintained in their natural state and dramatic sunsets occur nightly.
Over 70% of Sanibel Island consists of nature preserves. Casa Ybel maintains its own wildlife sanctuary, where cormorants, ibises, ospreys, pelicans, sanderlings, and other birds come to feed and rest in Florida's friendly climate. Here, too, travelers to Florida and Sanibel Island have found safe haven since the turn of last century. Today, as then, the resort's Thistle Lodge restaurant serves as the heart of Sanibel Island's social life and benevolent efforts. Originally built as a wedding gift, it hosts hundreds of weddings, anniversaries, and other celebrations for guests from Florida and throughout the world.

Sanibel-Captiva Road, known locally as San-Cap, passes by most of Sanibel's natural attractions - J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation Center, the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, and the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (C.R.O.W.) facility.
Captiva Island is connected to its sister island by a bridge at the end of San-Cap Road.
Casual is the fashion of the day - and night. The easy-going island lifestyle translates to informal attire. Shorts and sandals is the accepted island uniform. You may want something slightly dressier for theater events and dinner. Retail establishments generally request attire that includes shirts and shoes.
Plan for sunshine. Winters are mild (average daytime temperatures in the 70s and 80s) and dry (it rains just enough to keep the islands lush). Summer temperatures, ranging from the 80s to low 90s, are tempered by cooling sea breezes and brief afternoon showers, followed by more sunshine and glorious sunsets. Pack hats to shade your face and head, shorts, swimsuits, sunglasses, cover-ups, t-shirts, and light collared shirts. In winter, slacks and a wrap will complete your vacation wardrobe.
