Lovely Family Vacation

We loved Gypsy Palace and will definitely return. It is cozy and has an eclectic feel that we loved. It is literally steps (like 10) from the beach. Sander, the owner, was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. It was a perfect place for our vacation. I wish we could have stayed forever.

Great location!!

We so enjoyed our stay. The views are amazing. The property has multiple rentals and the outdoor space is shared, but there is a very large deck area and we all had our privacy. We enjoyed watching the fishers and the surfers. We made some friends. The beach and county is very dog friendly and our puppies made some friends, too. You can hear the waves crash all night from the front room!!

Location location location

The place is just in a perfect spot. This was the ground level of the 3 level property. The host is clearly above and beyond to provide comfort. They have thought through all the little things so the vacationer does not have to worry about....talking little details that matter. The location is just a hard to find one, the bridge, the inlet, water tide high and lows, the birds , all providing distance from the "noise", yet 15min drive to the entertainment.. We live by the ocean and we live also lakeside on the mountains, however the scenario at the INLET is just another type, different than what we have and surely quite unique. Defineltly get the upstairs floor or the penthouse if you can afford it. They are not better, beautiful as well, just larger. The Gypsy little palace on the ground floor is very romantic, yet the bad weather we had, having to stay indoors more time than what we expected......we felt a larger unit like the above ones would have suited us better. Our mini dogs had the time of their lives inside and on the beach..... Truly a good time, as you cannot expect the place to do it alone, therefore you must be a part of the good time, fun time, planning and make it work to make it a great vacation. We compared to other vacations we had using this platform and while at the same night rate this experience was an 9 while all others were a shy 6. Location, the place and the little details cared for on the host side made this place worth the expense. In stars we believe is a 4 while other ones at similar rate, were a 2 due to Issues on the 3 factors mentioned above.

Beautiful Beach Getaway

The Gypsy Palace was unique, cozy and clean. It was great for a few friends to getaway from our busy schedules. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, and the view from the kitchen sink was amazing. The outside area had its own little setting with lounge chairs and a table. The beach area was absolutely beautiful, and literally just steps away. Danny was a great host he answered our text in just a short amount of time. We would definitely stay again. Already thinking about when we can come back.

As always, Gypsy Palace was well-appointed, comfortable, quiet and accessible to fun things nearby. The beach immediately in front of the place felt private and peaceful. we loved watching the Ospreys and boats come and go. Thank you again Danny! we'll be back.

Beautiful location, great host

We travel extensively and this rental was a nice departure from the cramped, busy and noisy beach highrise complexes. Even though two other units are within the same structure, entrances and personal areas are arranged to where you can have as little contact as you like with one another. The beach views are gorgeous, the bed was comfortable and we look to coming back soon. The only con being an upgrade of a new frying pan and cooking utensils are needed. Everything else was just great.

It is right on the beach! This is the place to chill. And the host is awesome.

You cannot beat the view or access the ocean! The host is great and the house is incredible. If you are not a snob, this is the best place to stay with family and grandkids. Cannot say enough about this location and beach.
