About the host

Hosted by John Bencie

Host profile image
My wife, Teresa, and I fell in love with North Captiva Island after visiting the area for a day-trip. After long searching for a beach property that we could call our own (in addition to an area that would be welcome to our two Border Collies, Ivy and Apollo), we decided to purchase Crab Cakes Cottage in September of 2021. Despite the difficult 12 months following Hurricane Ian, we not only repaired the damage but have given the cottage a complete exterior renovation. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Best value and location on North Captiva. We offer 3 sleeping areas and 1.5 baths and an enclosed outdoor shower! Free golf cart and Starlink high speed internet.
