The condo was beautiful! Great ocean views! Very comfortable. We have stayed with Beach Manor several times in a few different condos. This one was very nice. The master bed has a very firm mattress so it was a little uncomfortable for us. If you like very firm mattresses, you'll be fine. No other complaints. We had a great vacation and as always, check in and out was a breeze.

This is the fourth time we've stayed in this same rental. We couldn't ask for a better view. The accommodations have been everything we expected each time. My only concern is that the price went up significantly since our last visit. I'm hoping there will be a loyal/returning vacationer discount. I would recommend this place to others.

The team here at Gibson Beach Rentals is thrilled to receive such great rating, thank you. We do offer a 5% return guest discount, so please let us know when you can come back down!

We had an amazing trip and enjoyed our stay! It has been years since we’ve been back to Tops’l and this was the first time we had gone to the beach with just us and our toddler. We wanted something nice and easy and we’re not disappointed! The condo was clean, updated, and had a gorgeous view! We loved having the option for lunch by the pool instead of having to pack a cooler. They could use a new coffee maker but that’s about the only thing I noticed!

This condo is so clean and comfy and the ocean view from the deck is just beautiful. Gibson Beach Rentals was great to work with. I texted the first morning that the toaster was broken because I didn’t want them to think we broke it. Gibson Rentals delivered a brand new toaster the very same day while we were at the beach! Check in and check out was a breeze. You won’t go wrong with this one!

My unit has a fabulous view and kitchen is well stocked. The new chair in the living room is perfect to sit and watch the magnificent Gulf. Master kingsize bed is very comfortable.
Unfortunately the living room sofa cushions are really "tired" and worn making for a very uncomfortable sit.
The kitchen cabinets show their age and major wear. Have trouble closing some of the cabinet doors or keeping them closed. And the cabinet holding the trash can needs cleaning or painting. The kitchen really needs new cabinets.
The entry door is not too inviting with major paint chips and rust on the door.
After visiting 3 other BM condos which have had many new upgrades it appears that 811 is due for a major facelift.
Gibson management staff are the best - always friendly, and quick to respond to any question or concern.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you Linda for the amazing review. We will dive in and take a look at those kitchen cabinets and couch and let the owner know our findings. The entry door is scheduled to be sanded and repainted as part of a building renovations. I would like to add the owner has installed new floors, paint bathroom cabinets, new window coverings. Update the master bed, dishwasher and sitting chair. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and I can't say that I blame you for loving that chair in the living room that is one of my favorite spots as well.

Beautiful condo on the beach! Our experience with Gibson was easy. Loved the on line portal with all the info. Only glitch was the cable box had to be rebooted almost daily.

The Rental company was very nice to deal with and the place was extremely nice and clean. The ONLY complaint I have is that I wish the balcony was a little bigger or at least have chairs that you can see over the top of the rail. We had to look thru the bars to see the beach.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're so happy you had a great time and hope to have you back again someday soon! Thanks for your honest review. We are happy to share with the owner. Of course, making the balcony larger is out of our control but the furniture can be changed if the owner prefers. Having lower sitting chairs could be due to a safety concern. Hopefully the balcony bars didn't hinder you all having a great vacation. We appreciate your kind words, our team is happy to help any way we can.

They need to provide more supplies for longer stays.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're terribly sorry you were unhappy with the starter supplies provided. Unlike hotels, vacation rental units do not provide supplies such as paper towels, dish soap, washing machine detergent, etc. for the full length of a guests stay. The rental agreement clearly states what is provided and what guests may want to bring as our operation and protocol are up to industry standards. We apologize this put a damper on your vacation. If you were lacking a trash bag or needed an extra mornings worth of coffee, we would have been happy to accommodate you. A quick call to our office is all that's needed. We hope, in spite of this, you all had a great time and made memories to last a lifetime.

Blessed w/perfect weather after storm Alberto. One rainy & rest were perfect days. Highly praise & recommend Gibsons Rental. Unit was "OK"...not the best but not the worst. The renovations are grt but falls short of a complete redo to make unit perfect !! Carpet is old & stained.. not gross but definitely brought quality of unit wayyyyy down. Son slept on sofa bed & wasnt comfortable. 2nd bedroom quite small so recommend bunk w/trundle to give some walking space. Kitchen utensils & cookware needs upgrade & replacement. Would stay in this unit if choices limited because beachview was spectacular & unit was clean/nicely decorated. Kudos to Gibsons for extra touches on welcome pkg & bath products !!!! Balcony furniture was nicer/higher quality than others in bldg which is an extra star for this unit too.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thanks a bunch for leaving us a review! We appreciate your kind comments about our GBR Team! We are glad to hear ya'll had a good time even though this may not have been the perfect unit you picked for your family. We do have a service order open regarding the carpets and are working with the Owner on more permanent resolution with that. Replacing flooring is unfortunately a much bigger project than a unit can endure in peak summer when everyone is staying back-to-back. We have ensured it is cleaned properly though. The second bedroom shares the same floorplan as the other 2/2 units in the building so while the bedrooms are smaller, you generally have larger living spaces and roomy kitchens. We did also create a service order to thoroughly check all of the kitchen utensils and cookware -- please let us know if that is ever a problem again as we keep these items on hand since they endure so much use and get deemed discardable so quickly in vacation rentals. We want to ensure you have everything you need for an enjoyable stay and are always happy to help. Please do come see us soon again, and we'll help you find the perfect place for your family next while saving some money by booking direct with your repeat renter discount.

Having stayed at Topsl many times over the last 20 years, the only disappointment was not having access to the main fitness facility on the property.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're so sorry Shane!! Each owner gets to choose whether or not they want to participate in the Fitness Center amenity package with Tops'l. Some units have the option, some do not. If we had known, we could have helped you book a unit on the fitness center program. Even so, we hope you had a nice, relaxing birthday trip! Next time, give us a call, we'd be more than happy to help you find that perfect unit for your next stay.

Clean and up to date space. The bed is entirely too soft and uncomfortable, and the pillows aren't comfortable either. The lighting is awful. I had to apply my makeup in the living room by the lamp,and that still wasn't enough. Very dark in the bathrooms. This is a very nice snd up to date place, but not sure if we could handle staying again without being able to get a good night's sleep. But perfect if you like a very soft bed.

We enjoyed our stay at Beach Manor. The Condo was on the eighth floor which made the view of the ocean incredible. The building sits extremely close to the shore. The ocean is very warm and the sand really does look like sugar. The beaches are very clean and the water so clear you can see the fish.
The unit, number 0811 was very nice. The furniture is getting a little tired but still looks good. They really do need a new mattress in the master bedroom. It sags in the middle. The twin beds were not great but okay. Unit was well stocked. They had two umbrellas and two chairs in the unit for our use.
We loved the keyless entry as well as how easy Gibson made the entire process. We were very impressed with them. Nothing went wrong with anything while we were there so we never had any verbal exchange with Gibson. Very smooth transaction from start to finish. Thank you for a lovely vacation.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thanks so much for your feedback! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed yourself and the overall experience in the unit. The owners have read your review and were very disappointed to hear that you felt the king mattress was sagging in the middle since it is under 6 months old and both twin beds were replaced less than a year ago. They will definitely be looking into it to make sure it is not defective. They were hoping that since the previous reviews had been very favorable you would have enjoyed a comfortable nights sleep. Thank you for your comments - it is always appreciated to make sure our guests receive all the comforts of home!!!

My sister and I decided a few months back that a vacation was needed! We (I) (haha) searched and searched for the "perfect" place for us to stay. I stumbled across this rental and the pictures just said it all. So, we finally decided upon this property and I don't regret it a bit. We walked in on our check-in day and it took our breath away. The view was AMAZING. The layout was nice. The master bed was HEAVEN. (I'd love to know what kind of mattress that is!) The master bath was nice, as well. I loved the beautiful, spacious shower. Everything was wonderful. Although, the elevators went out one day and we had to climb 8 flights with our hands full of beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. That was definitely not ideal, but they fixed them within a few hours. The only thing about the unit I would change is the early check-out time, but other than that, I was very pleased. And so was my little sister. It was a great get-away.

The only real issues was the beach, people with there own umbrellas and chairs had to walk to the end of property line to set up.
I didn't think that was right if you wanted close or in the middle of property you had to rent there stuff. I wont be coming back again for that reason.

In my opinion, this condo is even better in person. The pictures do not truly do this place justice. This was our first vacation to the gulf coast area.

Awesome views from the living room and beds that are just as great as your own. We will be back!

Our stay was very relaxing and quiet. My only complaint was that the master bed needs a new mattress and pillows. Other than that everything else perfect!
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thanks for your review. November is definitely the time to come down for some quiet R & R and it seems like that's just what you did! Next time be sure to let us know about the beds and pillows and we will do everything we can to better accommodate you on your vacation. See you next year for a repeat guest discount!

Our over all stay was wonderful, great location, beautiful weather and beach. There were just a couple issues that need to be fixed, 1) one of the beds in the guest bedroom is broken and needs to be fixed. 2) the elevator always seemed to be getting repaired. All and all we were satisfied and I would stay at this condo again.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for your response.The elevator issue has been resolved in Beach Manor and we are working on the bed situation. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again next time for a repeat guest discount.

My family and I stayed at Tops’l Beach Manor August 27-31.
The condo - Check in is super easy. We rented through Gibson Beach Rentals and they provided the door code to the condo. There is no check in process, you just show up at the condo at check in time. If you need to arrange an earlier check in, make sure to call Gibson. It will depend on whether the unit is being vacated the day of your check in.
The condo itself was great. When you walk in, the large windows opposite the door showcase the view of the beach!! It was a beautifully clear day and the view was awesome! The condo was tastefully decorated and contained everything we needed for our stay. It was cleaned very well and there were enough towels for our stay. There is a washer/dryer in the unit and the kitchen is fully stocked. Some of the cookware and cooking utensils could use some freshening up. The bed in the master was a bit uncomfortable.
Location – The unit is located in Tops’l Beach and Racquet Resort which consists of several condo units and villas. Beach Manor is right on the beach. The resort rents chairs and umbrellas and sets them up right on the waters edge. Two chairs and an umbrella rents for $28/day. The unit of our condo also provided two chairs. Bring your own beach towels. The beach is private to the resort only so it was not overly crowded even though we were there over Labor Day weekend. We did not spend any time at the pool but there are several. The main pool looked a little crowded but the Beach Manor pool was hardly used. There is a little restaurant and a bar at the main pool.
Overall, a great stay.

We enjoye our stay at Beach Manor, the view captures ur attention as soon as you enter the condo. The furnishings were comfortable and we had plenty of room to spread out, there were 6 of us. The walk to the beach was easy and the people we encountered were all very helpful and friendly

Phenomenal views and all, but the only minor issue was that wifi connectivity was spotty & the beach chairs provided needs to be upgraded.

We will also look into upgrading the beach equipment as we want our guests to be as relaxed and as comfortable as they can be. Thank you for your feedback.

Enjoyed the great view, comfy furniture, flat screen TV's, new washer/dryer, etc. Only untimely problem was the fridge/freezer "died" 4 days prior to our departure; owner plans to replace.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for your feedback. Beach Manor 811 is a great unit and loved by many. We apologize for the fridge/freezer troubles, but are excited to let you know the Owner purchased a brand new, stainless steel replacement within a few days of the incidence. They are also finishing up repainting the entire unit for a clean, polished look. We hope to see you again in 2014!
