We had a great stay in this spacious Westwinds unit. The floors and kitchen seem newly renovated and the beds were all comfortable. We enjoyed many hours on the fabulous wraparound balcony. We hope to rerun for another vacation soon!

This rental was in the BEST location. The management company was quick to respond and easy to work with. The rental could use sone more supplies but that’s not a huge deal or a dealbreaker.

The perfect spot for a family vacation. The beach was beautiful and private. The condo was the perfect size for our family and very clean. The rental agency was very pleasant to work with. Our only disappointment was that the pool was not heated, but it was due to the freeze and that impacted a lot of properties, not just this one.

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful visit. Your feedback regarding the pool will be shared with the association. The pool has an automatic heater when temperatures fall below 85 degrees, but it looks like there was an issue with the pool pump during your stay with us. This has since been repaired, and the pool will be heated in the future. It was our pleasure to host your stay, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Westwinds is a wonderful property and the location within Sandestin is fantastic. And we used Xplorie (came with the vacation rental) to book a golf outing and that was excellent. Regarding the unit itself: The view from our 3rd floor balcony was outstanding. The unit was fine, though a bit dated in terms of decor and condition. The washer/dryer definitely needs to be replaced. The laminate in the master bath is peeling. And one nagging issue we called in late Monday with the master bath shower never was resolved. Someone from Gibson came out on Wednesday and confirmed what we were experiencing and called it in, but nothing was ever done about it. We never heard another word.

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

Thank you for your review and feedback! We are so happy to hear that you had a great time, and we love that you enjoyed the Xplorie perks! We are happy to announce that the washer and dryer have just been replaced with brand-new units, and the washer issue in the master bath shower has been resolved. Communication is important to us, and we are disappointed to hear that we fell short of communicating the resolution of the shower issue. We hope to welcome you back to a much-improved experience!

Beautiful condo with great layout. Open windows with large deck. Windows with view in most rooms. Tile could be replaced due to cracking. Mattress in 2nd King room could be replaced due to wear and living room furniture also could be updated due to wear. Overall nice condo with beautiful views.

We stay at the Westwinds about twice a years and always love it! This is our first time in this unit and it did not disappoint. Plenty of room and a great location. We had one problem with a toilet and it was fixed upon request.

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

The location of this unit was excellent! Great views of the beach & ocean from the living room with a nice wrap around deck. The unit, however, needs some work: the floor tiles were loose in many area (and in some cases completely missing!), the bathrooms could use some updating. We had a problem with the AC not working for a couple of days. property management sent people to fix it, but it took 2 attempts over 2 full days to get it corrected.

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

Thank you for your review and feedback. We are disappointed to hear that your stay was less than ideal, as we strive to provide an exceptional guest experience and promptly resolve any issues reported during your stay. We quickly began working to rectify the issues with the tile you reported, and would like to update you that the restoration has been completed. We hope to welcome you back in the future!

This condo was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We come to Destin every year and love the Sandestin area, there is so much to do! Baytown Wharf is one of our favorite places to visit when we stay.
During our stay we had a few issues with the condo such as the AC going out, and a weird situation with the floor, but Gibson was on top of things. They immediately sent service out to the condo to ensure the everything was restored to working order. Their customer service and how they handled things was top notch and because of this, I would definitely stay at a Gibson property again.

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

Thank you very much for your review and for your kind words! I am happy to hear that our team was able to promptly address any issues you had so that you could focus on enjoying your stay! Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we would love to welcome you back soon!

We had a great time visiting Miramar Beach and staying at Westwinds, however we had a few problems that were fixed immediately, a rattling ceiling fan and lights went out in two bathrooms, they were both fixed very quickly and we had no problems at all after that, condo was very clean and well kept, everything we needed we had there. I would definitely recommend Westwinds to everyone!!

Our family of 6 had a wonderful week at Westwinds. The 3 bedroom condo was just as described and I would rebook. The building and grounds were clean and beautifully maintained during the week and although some routine maintenance was going on it was not disruptive. Fire alarm system was tested and exterminator made a quick visit but these minor events are part of keeping the facility in excellent condition. Gibson rentals was available by phone to answer our few questions and encouraged us to use the free activities administered by Xplorie. One of us utilized the free golf rounds twice and the movie rentals were fun (though we couldn’t find the vending station that was closest to our condo and drove to Fudpuckers to select movies). All in all it was a great vacation and I was very satisfied with our choice of booking Westwinds through Gibson Beach Rentals.

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

We can't say how much your amazing and honest review means to us. We are so pleased that we were able to deliver a 5 STAR experience for your trip, and that you took part in our free activities that we offer.

Westwinds is an excellent facility that does not cut corners when maintenance or repairs are necessary. It's reassuring to see their building and grounds staff making necessary repairs and clean up after the minor storm we had in January.

We had a wonderful time at Westwinds This is the 2nd time to this condo. The condo is well furnished with 4 beach chairs, 2 umbrellas and small beach tables. The unit we stayed at was on the 3rd floor near the stairs with a great ocean, pool and beach view. Loved the location as the we never had to wait for elevators. Just out the door and down the stairs to the heated pool, hot tub and beach.

This condo is lovely! We stocked up on food at the local Publix which is close and spent as much time as we could at the beach. The property management company is extremely helpful. They provided us with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Upon checkin they had left a small insulated bag for us to have as well as a container of salt and pepper and various spices.

From the property management office, we borrowed DVDs to watch in the evening. In addition, we played golf one afternoon and visited the outlet mall which is a short drive from the condo.

Wonderful relaxing vacation.

We had a wonderful vacation and experience with Gibson beach rental. This is the first time we had to "rent" in the facility, as my parents used to own within the community. And we were so please with our stay.

The condo was very nice. 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, enough room for 4 ladies to get ready in. The bedrooms were roomy and the beds very comfortable. View was gourgeous and spent a lot of time on the balcony in the early morning watching the sun come up and sipping coffee. Beach and pool were perfect - not crowded and plenty of room to relax. The only inconvenience was all the security codes you have to keep track of. Other than that, I would highly recommend this rental.

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

We're so glad you enjoyed your time here Sherri! Hopefully the inconvenience of the codes helped you feel safe while you were with us. We aim to make the safety of our guests a top priority. Thanks for the great review! Hope to have you back again soon.

My family had a wonderful trip to the beach, the condo was beautiful and clean. The only downside to our trip was the crystal clear ocean we were looking forward to was full of seaweed. My only suggestion for the resort would have been a "general store" within walking distance for provisions. Publix and Walmart are only a short drive away though.
We had booked this condo a year ago when we suffered the sudden loss of my husband the night before our departure. We had not purchased trip insurance, but the owners graciously credited our stay. So I was able to bring the grandchildren and watch them play on the beach that their Papa loved so much. Thank you.

This rental did not disappoint. We only stayed three nights, but this place felt like home as soon as we walked in. I am very picky about where I stay while on the beach, and this rental was at a perfect location. The beautiful ocean view was breathtaking, especially during that early morning coffee on the huge balcony! I'm a picky renter, but surprisingly I have no complaints! I highly reccommend this rental for your next stay!

If your looking for a condo with close proximity to the beach, the restuarants and shopping of Baytown Wharf and The Grand Blvd Westwinds 4724 gives you all of that. From the expansive balcony you have and unobstructed view of the Beach and west towards Destin, directly overlooking the Westwinds pool. We had booked another condo before 4724 and when we left 4724 for the other condo the first thing I told my wife was I missed the Swivel chairs (4) that 4724 had. Great View!!! Great Condo!!! Great Service by Gibson!!!

We have stayed in 4724 for the past 5 or 6 years. The condo is spacious and has many upgrades that make it feel like home. Upon arrival the place was very clean. Location us great on the 3rd floor allowing for great view of the pool and ocean without having to wait long on elevators when they are busy. Parking garage is great and the walks on the property are fantastic along scenic golf course and bay. The unit could still use some upgrades particularly the bathrooms and the last couple times we have had trouble with the master bath toilet which is something you don't won't to deal with on vacation in terms of the inconvenience and having to have people come in to the unit to fix it. Other than that a perfect trip as usual.

Thank you for the feedback, we inspect each unit prior to guest arrival and usually can catch any inconveniences such as this one, we apologize for the interruption during your last stay. We appreciate your loyalty and look forward to seeing you again next year!

Stayed in Westwinds 4724 in September 2014 and we were very pleased. Great views - all 3 bedrooms could see the gulf. This is a 4th floor unit even though it is on 'floor #3' because bottom floor is called 'G'. It's on the end of a hallway, right next to exit stairs, so you have easy access to the staircase if you want to avoid the elevators. All the amenities, clean well-maintained furnishings. The Westwinds Tiki Hut in pool area was closed (after Labor Day) but easy to take small cooler to beach or pool. Beautiful massive pool and hot tub, with separate kiddie pool. Very nice workout room off the pool. Elephant Walk bar & restaurant a short beach walk. Rental chairs & umbrellas available from beach service, even though they were placed too close to each other. Unit had 2 umbrellas and chairs in laundry closet as well. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and we will be back.

Overall very good, view from the third floor unit no 4724 is excellent. Unit was in overall very good condition with a very few exceptions, we did have one broken chair on patio, and one lamp did not work in Master Bedroom, and Ice maker dispenser did not work. Unit was clean and overall well maintained.
The Vacation to go management staff was a bit disorganized, we stopped at the office on the way in to pick up wrist bands for pool use only to find them already in our room. When we were to leave, I called on Saturday morning a half dozen times to see if we were to leave these same bands in our room or to return them to the office as written information has directed us to do, I never got anyone to answer the phone. We took bands to office only to find out we could have left them in the Condo. this was a bit annoying, other than two elevators being out of commission on Saturday morning when were leaving all was very good and we would return.
