Casa Ybel Resort

Casa Ybel Resort

10/10 Excellent
"First time at CY and could not be happier with our stay. First time on the island too. Room was perfect for me and my two daughters. Really liked the vaulted ceilings as I was surprised by this. We stayed on the 2nd floor for the view (we didn’t mind walking the extra steps). We were in room 118 and it was a little walk to the pool, but the grounds are gorgeous as we didn’t mind the walk. Pool was big and water warm! Ocean was equally as warm. Shells for days. Caught some lizards and a crab! Staff was excellent and courteous. Come prepared with bug spray. We used Captiva Cruises for our private fishing, snorkeling, shelling, and dolphin viewing. Caught tons of fish! Grilled snapper and trout for dinner. We will be returning annually!"

10/10 Excellent
"My best friend of 30 years and I celebrated our recent retirement at this unit and had the time of our lives. We loved it! The owners have truly gone out of their way to make sure your vacation experience is as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. The unit was clean, the kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped, and the bedding and furniture were very comfortable.If you're flying in, don't worry about having to pack all your beach supplies. The storage unit in the parking area is stocked with everything you could need, including beach chairs, umbrellas, kneeboards, and a beach wagon. The wagon was also convenient for bringing groceries from the car up to the unit.We loved relaxing on the screened-in lanai overlooking the beautiful courtyard and pool area. We explored all over Sanibel and Captiva, but we consistently found ourselves preferring the beach right in front of the condo. The beach had an amazing variety of shells, and honestly, the biggest problem was deciding which ones to keep so we didn't go over the airline's weight limit!We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this unit to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, well-equipped condo in a great location."
