Introducing the newly revitalized Sol Mates Cottage on Captiva Island! This distinctive waterfront home, originally constructed in 1912 on Useppa Island and relocated in 1948, has been meticulously restored through a collaborative effort between Benchmark General Contractors and the esteemed architect of the project, Joyce Owens. Dedicated to preserving its historic allure, our joint venture embarked on a comprehensive renovation to rejuvenate this classic abode. Our teams addressed extensive structural issues and re-envisioned the interior to enhance the flow, light, and utility. By removing restrictive partitions and leveling floors, we created open, welcoming spaces that capitalize on the breathtaking Gulf views. Significant updates include the transformation of gathering areas and the addition of a luxurious master suite, turning Sol Mates Cottage into a contemporary sanctuary while respecting its rich heritage. We extend our gratitude to our visionary clients whose dedication made this remarkable restoration possible. This historic treasure now proudly stands, beautifully restored, ready to continue its storied legacy for many more years.
