This place was perfect for me and my furbabies. It was clean and comfy and had everything we needed. It felt super secluded and private. Half the time we had the beach all to ourselves. And the neighbors and their pets were very friendly and respectful. My pets had a blast on the beach and I picked up lots of beautiful shells, enjoyed gorgeous sunrises and saw lots of wildlife. Even had a small sea turtle swim by right in front of me. And was told by a neighbor that the night before, the baby turtles hatched and they think 131 made it to the ocean. So cool! I found some fabulous seafood close by without having to drive into St Augustine. The whole trip couldn't have been better. Thank you for a great stay and hope we get to come back sometime!

Great location. Love the area. Felt that the pictures were misleading on the size of the place. Messaged host about some other concerns. 3 people comfortably can stay in Gypsy palace anymore would be tight. Can’t beat the view and the access to the water Love this area.

Danny, our host was very responsive. The house location is fantastic. The beach is so close! The space itself was comfortable, but rather dated. We really didn't mind, but some may. It was clean, which is important to me.

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.

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.

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.

Matanzas getaway April 2023

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.

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.

The place was small but nice and had everything we needed. The beach is really what you're paying for, and it never disappoints. That said, I do feel the price was a little high for what you get. This rental would be great for a couple, but it was challenging with small children. There are no actual bedroom doors—only curtains. Since the TV is located near the sleeping area, it's very loud in the bedroom. Once the kids went to sleep, we either had to sit quietly or go outside. If you're traveling with little ones, I'd recommend bringing a baby monitor so you can relax outside after bedtime. We've stayed on this stretch of beach for many years and have never had any issues. Unfortunately, this year was different. On the first day, a couple introduced themselves and mentioned they were friends with the owner. Throughout our stay, they seemed to monitor everything we did. For example, my son was sitting in his car charging his phone and watching videos when the man knocked on his window to ask what he was doing. After that, he came over and asked me if my son was with us. Another evening around 9:00 p.m., we had a small load of clothes in the dryer, and he knocked on our door to ask if we were using it. It felt like they were constantly watching us, even though we were simply a family enjoying our vacation. It made for an uncomfortable experience. Overall, the property itself was nice, and we would consider staying here again. We would just hope for a more relaxed atmosphere.
