Orca

This is exactly what I have been waiting for. Orca pass hits the sweet spot between short term rentals and long term leases. It's perfect for me as a digital nomad and slow traveler as I stay in places on average from 1-3 months. They take the guess work out of finding a place I can commit to staying in for months at a time and I'm sure it will have all the amenities I need. The locations are great and the service is next level. I used Orca Pass while staying in LA for a month and it was a great experience. I will go to Orca first before other booking services.

So simple and personable, and feels like they genuinely have guests’ interests in mind with every listing!

This is great, we nomads need more options in this space. AirBnB has gotten too expensive and inflexible for long-term rentals & local contracts can be quite shady. Love to see platform that has the security baked in with convenience and good pricing. We used a similar new platform a little while ago with some issues (happy to share my experience if that'd be helpful) — great to see an alternative! Are you proper live? Can I make a booking — particularly looking at SE asia next ;)

Orca Pass is awesome! To watch where the product was to now is insane! If you haven't voted yet, you 1000% should. As a world traveler, Orca Pass is definitely going to change the game! 👏🏾

Orca is awesome. I'm a member and have stayed in listings produced by Orca. I got to use the platform when searching for a place to stay in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I had such a rough time finding decent spots - didn't know if I could trust the reviews, if the host was actually good, if it was worth the price, etc. etc. When I booked through Orca, my experience couldn't have been better. The way they curate their listings actually makes it feel as though a friend is giving me a trustworthy recommendation, rather than relying on reviews from people I hardly know online. The team assisted me in every step of the rental (I had it for 5 weeks I believe) and consistently checked in to make sure my stay was exactly what I was looking for. Sick to see Orca getting recognition for their great product.

So excited for Orca to go live! What you're building resonates with me from when I was traveling around every month, but seems actually even more practical for now since I can really feel like a local in each city I choose to live in.

Love it, @devansood! We need more alternatives to the traditional lease (and to Airbnb.) Really interested to see which destinations and locations people favor when they can weigh other factors besides proximity to their job. Have you had any members who travel with pets? and do you forsee remote employers basing salaries on employee's actual location rather than company location in the future? I've heard of this happening (I.E. SF employee moves to Boise and gets a salary cut) but don't have any experience with it in practice.

This is exactly what I was looking for since Airbnb came out. It's just too expensive to stay somewhere for more than a vacation through Airbnb. Really looking forward to see where this goes

Really loved the idea behind Orca Pass!! This is making the life of remote workers super easy in terms of stays. Congratulations on the launch @devansood
