About Me

Inlet in St. Martin
Inlet in St. Martin

My name is Nicole Dunlap, and I help travelers experience St. Martin as a truly relaxing, adults-focused escape. If you’re looking for beautiful beaches, great food, and a touch of French-Caribbean flair without having to manage all the logistics yourself, that’s where I come in.

St. Martin is unique, with its blend of French and Dutch influences, charming beach clubs, and a variety of coves and coastlines to discover. I’ve spent time on St. Martin myself and fell in love with its mix of easygoing beach days, stylish dining, and those quieter corners of the island where you feel like you’ve truly gotten away. Those personal experiences help me recommend the right areas, beaches, and properties for the atmosphere you’re looking for—whether that’s quiet and romantic or a bit more lively.

I design itineraries that highlight the best of both sides of the island, while matching you with properties and experiences that fit your style—whether that’s a chic boutique hotel, a luxury resort, or a more private, villa-style stay.

Because my overall focus is adults-only luxury travel, I look for options in St. Martin that feel calm, refined, and welcoming. That might include:

  • Beachfront or oceanview rooms with plenty of space to unwind
  • Adults-focused or adult-friendly resorts and boutique hotels
  • Private or small-group sailing and snorkeling trips
  • Memorable dining experiences and local culinary highlights
  • Time on nearby islands, such as day trips to St. Barth or Anguilla

My background as an ER nurse taught me how to stay calm under pressure, stay organized, and pay close attention to details—all of which are invaluable when planning travel. I bring that same level of care to your trip to St. Martin, handling the pieces behind the scenes so you can simply arrive and enjoy.

I continuously invest in training, certifications, and on-the-ground research so that my recommendations for St. Martin stay current and tailored to what today’s luxury traveler is looking for. Whether you’re drawn to the island for its beaches, cuisine, culture, or a bit of everything, I’ll help you navigate choices so your time there feels easy and elevated.

If you’re considering St. Martin for a romantic getaway, a friends’ escape, or a peaceful break from everyday life, I’d be happy to design a trip that reflects how you like to travel. Share a bit about who’s going, when you’d like to visit, and what you’d love this St. Martin vacation to feel like, and we’ll start planning your island escape.

Best Vacation Ever!
Reviewed By Mary L. - North Carolina | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Nicole made everything so easy! She took all the stress away that can come with planning a vacation. Our family had the best time visiting Disney World and other sites Orlando has to offer. We will be using Gallivanting Gypsy for a cruise we hope to book next year. Highly recommend!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Quick trip, great time!
Reviewed By Mea - Valdosta, Ga | Traveled to Savannah ~ Georgia ~ USA
Nicole did an amazing job finding us a great hotel in a wonderful location. We were only in Savannah overnight but Nicole made recommendations on some activities for us to enjoy while there. We took in the sights and fun atmosphere of the River Walk , enjoyed a terrific dinner at The Cotton Exchange Tavern and to end our night we visited River Street Sweets where we indulged in the best pralines and ice cream for dessert. Nicole also recommended several nice breakfast options for us before we headed to our appointment and home.
Thank you Nicole for all of your work on planning our quick visit to Savannah Ga.
We’re looking forward to working with you again.

    French Flair, Calm Beaches, and Island Hopping

    St. Martin is one of those places that immediately feels like vacation. When I arrived, the first thing I noticed was the warm, soft breeze and the mix of scents in the air—salt from the sea, grilled seafood from beach cafés, and a hint of something sweet from the nearby bakeries on the French side. I stayed at an ocean-facing property wh...
