2B/2B Private Heated Pool, Golf Cart, Club Access, Games,
Thank you for your interest in Magic Po'Cean and North Captiva Island.
Leave your car (and your cares) at The Island Club of North Captiva (ICNC) in St. James City, FL or Pineland Marina in Bokeelia and ferry to the remote barrier island of North Captiva where running, walking, hiking, biking, swimming, shelling, fishing, kayaking, or just kicking back is in order. Some pre-planning is necessary, because this amazing Island has no shopping centers or paved roads. You can order groceries and have them stocked in your fridge; or meet you at the ferry; or pick them up on your way to the marina.
Our Management company, Tortuga Properties, will meet you at Island Girl ferry or the ICNC dock (depending on which ferry you choose) on North Captiva with a golf cart, and a Team member will provide you with highlights of the island and get you settled in the house with your things.
Built in 2021, Magic Po'cean is a two bedroom/two full-bathroom, luxury 1110 sq/ft home with a 300 sq/ft screened-in deck overlooking a beautiful, heated, salt-water swimming pool with plenty of deck space and lounges around it. It is also a short walk or golf cart ride to beautiful beaches. It is located on the southern, high and dry part of the island. It has a washer and dryer and a fully equipped kitchen for those who love to cook, and those who don't. Some of the high-end kitchen appliances include a crock pot for easy throw together meals, a Ninja for fresh smoothies, bake wear, fiesta plate-ware, Gotham pots and pans, Keurig duo coffee maker and a french press, plus all the other kitchen gadgets as well. Two large tables provide for indoor or outdoor dining. A high chair and pack and play with mattress and sheets are also provided.
Our pet-friendly home is perfect for couples or a small family, with a king master bedroom and a guest bedroom with two twin xl beds that can be made into a king, if preferred. A pocket door allows access to the full, guest bathroom from the guest bedroom. There is also a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room.
High-speed wi-fi is included with three large TV's and YouTube TV. There are many puzzles, games, DVD's and books for the whole family. Our Weber gas grill is located on the pool deck along with corn hole, ring toss, pool basketball hoop and over-sized Connect Four games. Enjoy swimming in our private pool or use our Island Club membership and use the club's pools, hot tub, kayaks, paddle boards and bikes. Be as active or inactive as you like while enjoying this beautiful, unique island. Enjoy in-home chef services or the three outstanding island restaurants. A golf cart is included with this rental. We also have a beach canopy and a variety of chairs and other beach gear with a wagon to get through the sand.
The pictures of our house on this site are a true depiction of its condition, after recent hurricanes. It is in great shape. We also continue to make improvements to the property to make your stay more enjoyable, such as purchasing the lot behind the house to ensure privacy, adding a shade sail in the pool area for the hot summer months and adding extra landscaping for beauty and privacy in the front and around the pool.
More than half of this two square-mile island is nature preserve with many protected species and nesting bald eagles. The nature preserve is great for hiking and biking and is loaded with native south Florida flora and wildlife. Be mindful of the nesting sea turtles on the beach and watch for dolphins and manatees in the waters around the island. Magic Po'cean has adopted one of the sea turtle nests. Our Island has a night sky ordinance that allows amazing star gazing with our small telescope.
Our mission at Magic Po'cean is to make your stay as enjoyable and unforgettable as possible and make you want to return over and over.
Your hosts, Bill and Cindy, along with our two pups, Annie and Kya are always rejuvenated when we visit Magic Po'cean. It is truly a remarkable place.

This property is perfect for a small family for vacation! The home is clean, beautiful, and every detail has been well thought out. The location is great on the island and the pool is lovely to relax in when you need a break from the beach! The host is great to communicate with and very responsive. This is our second stay in the home and we hope to be back again!

Perfect week for our family of 4
Our first time visiting N Captiva and we quickly eased into island living. We enjoyed relaxing on the screened porch and swimming in the pool. A quick walk or ride to the beaches, fishing and ice cream.

Great house, great island, great time. The house was just as described, actually even better. It was well stocked and very well furnished. The island was great and the management company was great. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a quiet, comfortable and very relaxing get away!

Olivia, thank you for the review. The island is a unique and special place and we are happy you enjoyed it and informed others that even Hurricane Ian couldn't destroy what makes it great.
Our family of four had a wonderful stay on North Captiva. The home and property are as pictured--clean and comfortable. Pool was a great size and the basketball hoop provided hours of fun. We appreciated the screened-in porch which allowed us to be outside even when the mosquitos were out. The included wagon, chairs, and Sun Ninja shade made beach days very easy. Kitchen had all of the utensils/dishes that we needed. Owner and property manager were quick to respond to questions, etc.

This was our third trip to North Captiva and second at Magic P'Ocean. The house is perfect for 4 and comes along with a highly stocked kitchen, and enclosed pool area with a special space for the dog to do her duty. We really appreciated the heated pool that came along with no added costs. We had some trouble getting the attention of the property manager a few times on some minor issues, but since it was Easter week I suspect they were very busy.

We have been to North Captiva about 7-8 times, and this was our favorite house so far! The house was very clean and in great condition. The owner was very responsive prior to check in and provided regular updates as the island had sustained some hurricane damage. The property manager was very responsive and accommodating. The pool area was very nice and pool temperature was set very comfortable and warm. The house was very well stocked and comfortable. We can't wait to return!

The owners have thought of everything with this home! It is new & clean & the furnishings are nice. The kitchen is fully stocked, the beds & bedding are very comfortable, the screened in porch with table & chairs & an outdoor couch are cozy, the reliable golf cart was perfect for cruising the island, the heated saltwater pool was a family favorite of ours. There are many extras in the house like additional sheets & pillows, pool toys, sun screen, books, puzzles, umbrellas, etc. The location of the home was perfect, a short walk to the beach.

What a wonderful property! The house is spacious, beautiful, clean and simply spectacular. The host has thought of everything and the home is very well equipped.
The pool was bigger than we anticipated. I do have to mention that it required to have water added a few times we were there and the well water from the hose smells strongly of sulfur.
We absolutely loved our stay at this property and on North Captiva Island.

Nadine, thank you for your nice review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay at our home. Our goal is for our guests to thoroughly enjoy the island experience. Also, thanks for letting us know you had to add water to the pool. We will keep our eye on it.
My wife and I decided to escape Michigan weather for a few weeks and found Cindy's cozy new home to be the perfect sanctuary. The house is quite charming and even 'cute' as my wife called it, with all of the amenities you could possibly need. We brought our dog and found a special area set aside, inside the fenced pool area, just for her to do her business, along with many other pet amenities.. We took daily walks to the gorgeous beach at the end of the street and enjoyed regular runs to the ice cream shop every night at the other end of the island.
And to top it all off, the Tortuga Property Management team was there for our every need, greeting us at the ferry, moving our luggage, responding instantly to out texts, and regularly checking on us. Quite the luxury!

Thanks so much for the glowing review. We are so glad you chose our house for your vacation. Cindy Kane
Magic Po'cean is the perfect house for a small family or (in our case) a couple of couples! Nice kitchen, living room to relax and watch TV at night if desired, a true master bedroom with bath, and a second convertible bedroom that can essentially have it's own private attached bath just by locking the hall entry door.
The owners are amazing! It's great having a responsive owner in case there are any issues, but it's also nice having a good property management company taking care of you. As of this review, the house is managed by Tortuga Properties and the service and help they provided was top notch. We don't plan on staying in a North Cap house again that ISN"T managed by Tortuga.
The house is furnished nicely, the pool is heated to perfection and provides a nice combo of sun and shade (if desired) for relaxation after a day at the beautiful beach. And the beach is just a short golf cart drive - or even a reasonable walk - away from the house.
We loved our stay at Magic Po'cean and can't wait to do it aggain!

Steve, thank you for the wonderful review. We strive for our house and the island experience to provide a great vacation and it looks like that was accomplished. Please come back and stay with us again.
This is our third year in a row staying on North Captiva. This is a great home with fantastic owners. We got a less than desirable start but this was not due to the home or to the owners, but due to Tortuga, the local management company. However, after reaching out to the homeowners we almost immediately had our issues resolved, which is all you can ask for.
Ultimately the home itself was very clean, well equipped, and a slice of paradise. The screened in porch kept the bugs out and the pool was clean and had no issues. Other homes had some hurricane damage remaining and there was work being done all over the island during the duration of our stay, but this is to be expected and wasn't overly intrusive. The beaches are still beautiful and we wanted to stay another week! If you are hesitant to bring your tourism back to the island after the hurricane, don't be. The owners and businesses need you and if you loved the island before, that won't change.
Overall, I would strongly recommend this property and its owners.

James, thank you for the review. We are so happy that your stay turned out well after the less than ideal start. Unfortunately, sometimes human error will result in a mix-up and at that point the key is to make it right as soon as possible. It sounds like we were able to do that. We strive for our guests to have a wonderful time at our home and we will continue to do our best to make that happen. Thank you for staying at Magic Po'cean and letting others know that our beautiful island is coming back better than ever.
About the host
Hosted by Cindy Kane
We have lived in Loveland, Ohio for most of our lives, and love to vacation on the gulf coast of Florida. We have 4 children, 2 grandchildren and 3 dogs between the 2 of us. Getting a little down time has always been very important to all of us. Which is why this house is so important to us all.
Why they chose this property
Previous to 2016 we had vacationed all areas of western Florida. Then we stumbled upon North Captiva in search of a pet friendly, laid back spot with no traffic. When we arrived, we found there were no stop signs to be seen or pavement. Just sandy roads for driving the golf cart around to enjoy the air, tropical sites and millions of stars in the dark night sky. We quickly decided to return the next year, and then finally decided to build our dream house in 2020.
What makes this property unique
2 master suites, sleeps 5, soft sandy beaches, great shells, escape the concrete jungle, stargazing, private pool, fully equipped kitchen, spices, and Weber gas grill. We now have a membership to The Island Club @ North Captiva so you can use kayaks, bikes, pools and courts. Charter a fishing boat or sight seeing. Enjoy everything the tropics have to offer.
