Home Watch in Captiva
Most Captiva properties are vacation homes that sit empty for extended periods. Our home watch service is specifically designed for island properties — managing access, monitoring for storm surge, and ensuring your escape is ready when you are.
Island living comes with island challenges. Hammer & Hedge specializes in Captiva's unique property needs — from coordinating with the island's access logistics to post-storm recovery. We know what it takes to maintain a property when the sea is your closest neighbor.
