The condo was just as advertised and we could not have been more pleased. When you open the front door, you immediately see the emerald waters and light surf through the balcony glass doors. The beach is a very short walk and you can park in the covered garage that is located on the same floor as the condo. Very convenient and easy to get your bags and groceries to the condo. The condo is located perfectly between Destin and 35A. Excellent spot for venturing out. We stay in lots of VRBO rentals. You cannot go wrong with this rental IMO. If we were to go back to that area, we would rent it again. Thanks!

Overall the best experience we've had in the (10+) years we've been coming to Beach Manor, well appointed unit, well maintained, updated, met every expectation and then some. A very good experience for sure !!
You might have someone look at the Garbage Disposal though, water ran threw it fine, but the switch on the counter did not appear to work, or maybe this old dude couldn't figure it out. : )

Great location but traffic bad you can't turn left out of the property it is 7 lanes of traffic and going to dinner takes a long time to get anywhere.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you had a great time and enjoyed the location, and can certainly understand the frustration caused by traffic during the peak season. Thankfully, Grand Boulevard and the Baytowne Wharf are only minutes away, making for a very short commute! It was our pleasure hosting your stay, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Unit 310 was up to date and clean. The unit offered dishes, cookware, utensils plus some small appliances and was beautifully and comfortably decorated.
The balcony had a beautiful view of the beach. Resort was close to restaurants and everything we needed. We were able to park on the third floor of the garage which made loading and unloading very easy.
The app made check in and check out a breeze. Gibson Beach Rental was always there to help if needed.
We would definitely stay in Unit 310 the next time we visit Miramar Beach, FL.

I’m not sure what to say other than everything was amazing. The unit is outstanding. It’s maintained extremely well and has everything you need to have a great stay. Beds were comfy and there is plenty of seating in the living room and dining room. Kitchen was perfect. We cooked in several nights and had everything we needed. The resort is first class as everything was kept very clean and manicured. We literally had the best time and were beyond pleased with our unit and the resort. Very impressive! we would rent this unit again without hesitation. My only suggestion, and this doesn’t reflect poorly on the unit at all is the beach service. Just skip it and use your own chairs.

The condo was well stocked and just enough room for two couples. The balcony was a good size and the view was great! Once we figured out we could park on the floor our condo was on made it even better. Great location but I don’t recommend Destin in July. Traffic was horrendous .... Blew my mind but overall we would definitely go back in the off season

We love Beach Manor. This was our 4th stay here. The condo was so clean! It felt like it was very well taken care of! There is no lack of detail in the cozy furnishings. The view was great. We love all the kids activities at the pool. The one thing that could have been better was the mattress. They are extremely firm! Over all the feeling of clean and cozy made this condo one of our favorites at beach manor.

Tops'l Beach and Racquet Resort at Miramar Beach is a wonderful location that is very close to everything you need for an extended winter stay. The resort is beautiful with walking trails, fitness centers, pools, spas and much more. The Beach Manor high rise sits just behind the sand dunes and Unit 310 provides excellent views of the beach and the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. The property and the owner's condo was very clean, well maintained and equipped with everything we needed. Gibson Beach Rentals provided us with excellent service and made the check-in / check-out process smooth and easy. During our 7 week stay in January & February, we enjoyed many nature walks and scenic photography for our website at in several nearby State Parks. Of course there was some shopping at the Silver Sands Outlets, Grand Boulevard and Baytowne Wharf. Then there are the beautiful small communities on County Road 30-A such as Watercolors, Seaside, Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach. So many restaurants nearby and we really liked Harbor Docks, Dewey Destin, AJs, Surf Hut, The Old Fish House, Angelinas, Grimaldis, Cantina Laredo, Wine World at Watercolors just to name a few. We would definitely recommend Tops'l Resort and Beach Manor 310. We look forward to another winter escape in our future.

Everything was great and we would love to return. The one thing we would have changed would be the pots and pans for cooking, they were not that good. The beds were incredible, even the sofa bed was the best we have ever used. It was also very clean and location was perfect for us.

We thoroughly enjoyed out trip, and the condo was great! Very clean, very well stocked with quality appliances and dishware. Plenty of them. The only negative we had was the bed wasVERY uncomfortable. Way too hard. I have back issues at times and a nice firm mattress tends to help immensely, so I was kind of glad when I pressed on it at first to test it. But sleeping in it was different. My husband and I flipped around all night every night because we couldn’t get comfortable. Also the air conditioner was a NEST. Which apparently is preprogrammed and we struggled to get the bedroom cool at night, despite keeping shutters and curtains closed all day. After the 1st couple nights it was a little better, but we just didn’t understand it since we don’t have that type of unit.
Otherwise, it was a very comfortable well equipped unit

Hi Stacey,

Total thumbs up! This condo is super nice, directly on the beachfront. 3rd floor level allows you to park on same level in parking deck so no stairs/elevators needed when unpacking/packing your stuff. Some units in this building are more on the side of the building with some limits to your beach views...but not this one . You have beachfront views out of both the living room and master bedroom. I WILL stay at this condo again!

Great condo and property! The condo was very nice, beds slept great, everything was clean and the condo included everything you need for a week long vacation. The management company (Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.) was very profession and informative. The access, check-in and check-out was very simple. The property was very nice and clean, just a short walk to the beach, pool and restaurant. The property also includes other activities like an exercise room, put-put golf, basketball and tennis. We had a great view of the ocean and beach from the patio, and the firework show on the beach on Friday. The location of the property was good as well, just a couple minute drive to groceries, restaurants, golf, and shopping. Even had pizza delivered to our door one night from Fat Daddy's Pizza, good stuff! Had a great vacation, will definitely be back!

This was our 4th year at Beach Manor and our favorite condo to date. We loved the decor, view and updated kitchen. The view is spectacular! I appreciated the filter on the shower heads. Sounds silly, but if you have ever stayed in the Destin area you know there is a scent to the water. 310 has filters on the showers to remedy this. Loved easy access to parking. Always a pleasure renting from Gibson Rental. We will be back next year!

We loved the area, it was very beautiful and serene. It was far enough away from the really busy tourist areas, but a 15-30 min drive from those areas if you want that area too. Condo was very nice. We had to get used to the beds, they are like laying on hard foam, not much give, but we adjusted. I would recommend a night light for the bathrooms so you don't have to turn on the big bright lights in the night or early morning. We would rent in this complex again, peaceful and the pictures were very accurate. We have already told several friends and family and they are wanting to go to!

We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our vacation. This condo was clean, nicely furnished, excellent location, and beautiful view. We didn't have any problems with the condo itself and check in was super simple. The only reason I didn't leave all 5 stars was the fact that the property management being located off-site was not only confusing but frustrating. They list all the amenities included, so I was under the impression we could use them all where we were actually staying. When in fact we had to drive to a different location, which is also a gated area, the guy working the gate acted like he'd never heard of someone looking for this property management location, once in the gate, good luck, it's a maze. Also each little street has its own gate code. I had called prior to coming and was never given directions or any clue that it was so complicated to get to their office. All to find out it was a small DVD collection and to think we had to go thru all that to return it? Hardly worth it. Also had the same kinds of issues trying to check out clubs for the putt putt golf. Overall we had a wonderful stay, but Gibson could have provided more detailed information either in the condo, by email or even a simple phone call to aliveiate a lot of headache and the wild goose chase for the amenities that hardly seemed worth all the trouble.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you so much for taking time to leave your feedback. We are very happy to hear of your amazing experience in the Resort and condo itself. We apologize that you encountered some confusing issues with our office. We do clearly provide our office as well as unit-specific addresses in the rental contract at time of booking. Oftentimes our guests will give us a call just in case they aren't sure. We are always happy to help if anyone ever needs assistance in visiting our office just next door to the Tops'l Resort. We normally allow our Tops'l guests to leave any DVD's they have checked out in the unit as our housekeeping teams can easily return these to our office upon your departure so there is no hassle and extra driving from your side. The putt putt equipment is conveniently located right next door to the Beach Manor building in the Tides building on the ground floor Association office. Again, we are so sorry that you had some hiccups there but aren't quite sure how we could have provided more information from what was originally supplied in the paperwork and app. We are open to any and all ideas as it is one of our main focus points to make sure your stay is easy and not confusing! Hopefully we will see you again soon, and remember: we are only a phone call or email away if you ever have any questions!!!

Was here for a business trip. Check in was super easy and the condo was fabulous except for two small things: (1) outside balcony light did not work so no evening reading while listening to the ocean, and (2) we never could get the WiFi to work...ever...not great for business needs. There was a number to call the WiFi service carrier but their hours of availability never coincided with ours and really??? Who on earth wants to deal with WiFi service carriers on their vacation?

We didn't have any interactions with the management because everything went so smoothly, there was no reason to contact them.

We have stayed at Beach Manor on 3 previous occasions and we think it is the best value and location on the beach. Unit 310 is a wonderful,comfortable,clean condo. The master bedroom bed is a high quality foam bed, advertised as a TempurPedic bed. The kitchen was well equipped. The only thing I could suggest to improve would be to get a quality bed in the guest bedroom. The one in there now is so old that the springs squeak. So this is a good condo for a romantic getaway for a couple.
