About Vanage
The premier homes on North Captiva, cared for by people who know the island.
Founded in 2016, Vanage Vacation Homes is a small, boutique company built around thoughtful hospitality and well-cared-for homes. On North Captiva we look after eleven of the island’s best homes, and we keep the collection small on purpose, so every house and every guest gets real attention.
We started Vanage with a simple belief: exceptional homes and attentive, personal service make for a better stay. That means a local team that knows every house, an arrival guide that covers the crossing, and a real person to call, text or email when you need one.
Named one of Airbnb’s top five quality hosts in all of North America, two years in a row.

Together they bring a practical balance of financial discipline, property know-how and personal hospitality to caring for each home, and to looking after the people who stay in them.
