Boat Dock & Stunning Views: Lake Martin Retreat!

The house is an amazing the location is amazing we will definitely be rebooking. This was our second stay and we loved it just as much! Great hostess!!

Very nice place and a fabulous view. Lots of beds and kitchen / family room is nice to host several people. Clean, comfortable. About an hour from Auburn for gameday but price is right for the location. Enjoyed our stay

WOW!!! This place will not disappoint! It is beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice!

Great location, great house and tons of beds.

Our family had the most lovely time at this home! It was spacious, beautiful decor, had wonderful lake views and was well equipped with everything needed for our stay. We enjoyed having the available boat slip and dock right there to enjoy boating activities and swimming in the lake. The large patio provided a wonderful area to enjoy morning coffee, watch lake activities during the day and later enjoy cocktails in the evenings Our host answered promptly and professionally any questions we had. We look forward to coming back to this property next summer!

Our week here at Gypsy Wind has been nothing short of spectacular. I could (and will) go on and on, so hang in there for a full review! First, I was nervous about staying on an island, worrying it would feel too remote. I was also concerned about staying on an island hit by a hurricane less than a year ago. After fighting my fears and coming anyway, my worries were for naught (as they usually are, right?). With some preplanning for food and other essentials, we’ve had everything we needed. And, when I needed brown sugar for spontaneous cookie baking, Kale (property manager) posted it on the local owners' page; I had two bags of brown sugar at my door in less than 15 minutes! The locals and other guests were all so friendly. Kale is at your service for anything you need, 24/7, which eased my overall concerns. The boat ride from the mainland is less than 30 minutes long, and the water is shallow - mainly 4 feet deep! In addition, North Captiva has medics, a fire department, and a helicopter if there is an emergency. I felt safe here. And, though parts of the island are still recovering from the hurricane, it has not taken away from the experience at Gypsy Wind nor on North Captiva Island. Gypsy Wind’s location is an ideal spot on the island, private and only a stone’s throw away from the beach. The Gulf and sunset views are incredible! The beach is “sugar sand,” white and clean, with more shells than I have seen elsewhere. Unlike many other homes

Not even sure where to start! We recently had our family vacation and were lucky enough to stay at Gypsy Wind! This was our second time visiting North Captiva and it was even more magical! From the ease of ordering food, to the seamless pick up at the dock and arrival at the home to the service throughout the week… we could have not asked for more. The house was spectacular and large enough for all of us to gather comfortably or space out as needed! Jim and Linda were so responsive from time of booking to our departure from the house despite dealing with a hurricane in between. Our house was expertly stocked by Antoine and Cale was there all week to answer any questions that we had. We also had a wonderful dinner prepared by Chef Bo. If you are looking to get away from it all, but at the same time enjoy all the comforts of home (and more!) this is the house for you. We look forward to coming back again and again.

All the extra inside toys were a huge hit with my kids! Love the dock and swim area. Beautiful home

Absolutely amazing! Took my family on a boat/beach vacation and it became so much more than that. First renting their boat was a great choice. Not only did I get to feel like a guide for the week with that upper station, the package of rods and lures I rented came with local knowledge of how and where to fish. And the fishing was nothing short of remarkable – tarpon, snook, redfish, trout and more. Next about this spectacular house. We were increasing impressed as we first toured the house from the first floor pool area to the second floor, with not one, but 3 master suites. And then finally to the 3rd floor with that spectacular view of the gulf. Morning coffee and sunset views will never be duplicated from that view. The house has too many amenities to mention but our favorites were espresso/cappuccino coffee machine, a chefs kitchen with everything you need, ice makers, kayaks, paddleboards, corn hole, and of course the pool and jacuzzi. Lastly, this island is a hidden paradise. You feel more like you are in the Caribbean than you do in Florida. We had daily tennis and pickle ball tournaments, walked the beach for shells and wishing those turtle nests would hatch. We have never had a vacation like this and we will definitely go back.

We absolutely loved our stay at Gypsy Wind. The view from the top floor was spectacular, especially during the sunsets! The large kitchen and living area was perfect for our group of 12. They thought of everything from 2 sets of washer/dryers, to little fridges down by the pool, to coffee pots outside your bedroom balcony. Our kids favorite feature was not having to leave the house to go to the pool. Hammocks, games, beach chairs, umbrellas, pool toys - they have it all! We would recommend Gypsy Wind to everyone!
