Nestled on the beachside of Thomas, you'll catch enticing glimpses of the shoreline and the inviting beach access points from both our charming decks. Here, you'll find a tranquil escape, free of towering condos, surrounded only by cozy single-family homes, ensuring ample space for your family to spread out and relax, even on bustling holidays!

Great stay
We spent 5 nights here during “spring break” at the end of March. Our group included 5 children and 8 adults, and this space worked out perfectly for us. I appreciated that it was extremely clean, and very walkable to the beach. The nearby beach was busy, but not miserably packed. The pool is in perfect condition, and the hosts checked water levels several times during our stay. It was heated very warm, which was much appreciated in March, but is on the smaller side for large groups due to permitting restrictions. I would highly recommend this property for any groups looking for a place near a less crowded area of Panama City.

Amazing Stay
Check in & check out was a breeze. Communication with the host was absolutely amazing. The house was so spacious and we absolutely loved the super short walk to the beach (only 1 small backroad to cross and you’re at the beach access) and the entertainment-providing backyard with a heated pool and plenty of seating. This house had everything our family needed and was perfect for our spring break vacation! Beautifully decorated as well and had gorgeous views from the 2nd & 3rd floors

Loved it, even better than last time
This was our second stay at this property after staying here last summer and we loved it even more the second time. The pool is brand new and lovely, and it was difficult to get our kids out of the pool! The new additions inside, including the new beds and soundproofing upstairs made a major positive difference in our sleep and comfort. The host was also very responsive, is so nice and thought of our every need. We were able to easily walk back and forth from the beach and the beach itself was clean and mostly crowd free. The walk was so short that we didn't even worry about bringing lunch, we just walked back home and left our stuff on the beach while we ate. We are definitely planning to use the Gypsea as our primary summer vacation spot each summer going forward!

Perfect stay!
We absolutely loved our stay! Plenty of room for our two families and the kids absolutely love the pool. The pool was always super warm and the kids loved all the variations of the pool lights. The walk to the beach is very quick, 2 minutes from the front door and we were relaxing on the beach. The best part of the beach is that there was so much open space for our family! The beach was not very crowded, especially for summer, which was amazing! We are already planning our trip for next year and can't wait to stay here again.

Perfect family trip!
We had a perfect family vacation at this property! Amber was a wonderful host from beginning to end and even sent a thoughtful sweet treat for the kids on our last day. The beach access is very close and convenient and made it very easy for us to come back for lunch or a break from the sun. Amber told us that the pool had been recently installed and we could really tell that it was a new pool. It was nice and warm for those cooler nights and the kids absolutely loved it! We would love to stay at the Gypsea again and are already planning a return trip next summer!
