Orca Pod
North Captiva, Florida
3 bedrooms ● 3 beds ● 3 baths ● 6 guests
Welcome to Orca Pod — a brand-new (2026) island retreat tucked away on one of Florida’s most coveted and untouched destinations: North Captiva Island. From the moment you arrive, this home sets the tone for an unforgettable escape. Spend your days floating in the sparkling private pool, mixing drinks at the outdoor bar, or cruising the island on fat-tire bikes with the ocean breeze at your back. Evenings are made for gathering — think alfresco dinners under swaying palms, laughter echoing from outdoor family games, and sunsets that seem to last forever.
Inside, the home feels effortlessly elevated yet inviting. The open-concept living space is bright, airy, and designed for connection — whether you’re cooking together, sharing meals, or simply unwinding after a beach day. When it’s time to recharge, the primary suite offers a true sense of retreat. Sink into the king bed after a long day in the sun, or unwind in the spa-inspired ensuite with a deep soaking tub and walk-in shower. The two guest bedrooms, each with a queen bed, provide a comfortable and stylish space for friends or family, with a shared bathroom finished to the same high standard — quartz surfaces, designer tile, and thoughtful details throughout.
Step outside to the covered upper deck and you’ll find one of the home’s most memorable spaces. With seating for six, and views of the pool surrounded by lush tropical greenery, it’s the perfect setting for slow mornings with coffee or relaxed dinners as the island breeze rolls through.
