Beachfront cottages and rooms steps from Sanibel's powder-white sand, with tennis courts, a pool, and the unhurried rhythm of island living — all just minutes from downtown.
Casa Ybel Beach & Racquet Club has been welcoming guests to Sanibel Island for over six decades. Nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and the calm waters of Matanzas Pass, our property offers a rare combination: direct beach access without the crowds, and a full-service racquet club that keeps you active from morning to evening.
Whether you choose one of our beach-facing rooms, a cottage retreat, or a full vacation home, you'll find the same thoughtful details — tiled floors, hurricane-impact windows, and furnishings that feel both comfortable and refined. It's the kind of place where the days slow down and the islands feel a little more like yours.
From intimate rooms to full homes, every space is designed for comfort and connection to the island around you.
Wake to Gulf breezes through screened windows. Tile floors, king bed, and a private balcony overlooking the water.

Sanibel Island is known for its untouched beaches, abundant wildlife, and a pace that rewards those who slow down. At Casa Ybel, every day unfolds naturally — a game of tennis in the morning light, a bicycle ride along the causeway, a bucket of ice and a plate of fresh Gulf shrimp for dinner, and a sky that blazes gold at dusk.
