Hi Lindsi, Thank you for the wonderful review! We agree the view from 804 is spectacular and you just have to see it in person! Thank you for booking with Gibson Beach Rentals and we're looking forward to having you again!





Great stay! While traveling in we received a call that our room was ready early therefore we could check in as soon as we arrived. Check in and check out were such an ease. The views from the room were gorgeous. Every morning we saw deer from our balcony (gotta wake up early though) I loved that the room came with beach chairs, umbrella and some beach toys. A few minor room issues were the tubs drained really slow, drier was very slow but I’m sure those things can easily be fixed. The ladies I spoke to at Gibson were all very friendly. We plan to come back!

We hope you had a wonderful time and we're looking forward to seeing you again! Thank you for booking with Gibson Beach Rentals and safe travels!



We had a great stay, we will surely come back. Everything was great, we had a small problem with the fan/light in the guests room the last day because it wouldn't turn back on. I would also like to suggest the facility gets a new basketball and tenis rackets the ones in the sharing closet are quiet old. Overall we enjoyed all the amenities and fast service. Thank you so much for the hospitality, my family and I had a great time.
Property Manager Response:
We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for your feedback about the fan and light. In the future if you have any issues in your unit, please contact us and we will have maintenance check it out. Thank you for your feedback on the resort. The basketball and tennis racquets are handled by the HOA however we will be glad to share your feedback with them. We are so glad you enjoyed you stay overall. Don't forget to ask for our repeat guest discount when you come visit us again!

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thanks for your review, Dayna! We are glad ya'll had a great time! Come see us again, and mention you have booked with us before so we can apply your official Gibson repeat renter discount!




I would suggest that the pantry door get fixed and the sliding door curtains hung properly as well. I called the office and told them about both. In addition, a black out curtain needs to be put in the master bedroom as the sunrise comes through bright and early and it is difficult to sleep in. Overall a great experience.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We loved having y'all stay with us, and are so happy you had such a great experience. We have passed on your comments to upper management, and appreciate the honest feed back. If needing heavier/blackout curtains is a must for you to sleep in, feel free to call our reservation team on your next booking and we can help filter out which properties meet your criteria. Also, don't forget you now get our returning guest discount.




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

Mattress needs to be replaced.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Oh no! We are terribly sorry, we've had no one alert us to this until now. We apologize for you being uncomfortable and are alerting the owner right away. Please accept our apologies. Thankfully you enjoyed your time here otherwise. We appreciate your review and hope to have you back again soon.




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Wonderful! We so excited to hear that Rick! We appreciate your kind words and can't wait to have you join us again soon.


Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Kim we are truly sorry you feel this way. As a property manager we must follow the rules of the resort and of course, had no idea they would change the occupancy limit. Our goal was to be sure all of our guests were informed as soon as we found out. Had you called us, we would have been happy to address ANY issue in the unit. Sometimes bulbs burn out, coffee makers quit working, etc. and we are here 7 days a week to help with these things. We also have a 24 hour answering service for after-hours emergencies. If you choose to not return to Gibson or Tops'l we wish you the best for all future family vacations and apologize for any inconvenience you endured.




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're thrilled you all were able to enjoy the amazing (although unusually warm) February weather we had, it was fantastic! Thanks for your review; we're so happy you enjoyed 804 and your time here. Come back for a visit again soon!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Yay! and we hope you come back soon! We love hearing from our guests and how great of a time they have. Thanks for the 5 star review, we appreciate it!





The facilities were fantastic. What a great place for the price. Everything was neat and clean and worked perfectly. The keyless entry was the best ever. We enjoyed a fantastic vacation with our family and will be very excited to return to Beach Manor. Mike, the security guard on the main pier, was extremely kind and helpful as well as knowledgeable. I have only good things to say about our time in Destin.
Property Manager Response:

Have you ever waited until the last minute to make vacation accommodation plans? Did your vacation opportunity just become available and you want to see what the current deals are? This is a courtesy feature for you to use to bid on available vacation rentals.
Bidding is only allowed for online customers. Do not call about the bidding process-email only, however you can call our office to see what current discounts are being offered. The discounts will be similar to what an accepted bid is expected to be. The bidding form is not to get a lower discount than what is offered through our office, but a convenient tool to use so you do not have to call in. Remember, not all homes will accept a bid, and sometimes, the discounts that we offers will be more or exactly the same as what a homeowner might accept.
If you are within 5 days...make us a reasonable offer.
Please be courteous and only submit serious bids. Ensure that you read and follow the Last Minute Bidding Rules below, or your bid will be deleted and not considered.
Bidding Process and Policies
- Review the properties using our reservation availability search. Each property listing will have a “Last Minute Bid” Tab on the property page and this is what you will need to complete to be considered for that specific home. Find the home you really want before you make a bid.
- Complete the form fully and honestly, and submit your bid. If not completed, it will not be accepted.
- Only submit a reasonable bid. A ridiculously low offer will not be considered and will be deleted immediately. Examples of considered bids will be 10% Off the advertised rate. 3 Nights for the rate of only 2. 15% off a 3 night stay, $150 off the advertised rate…for example. Be smart, you know what a too low bid would be.
- Our Rental Staff will contact the property owner to determine if your offer is acceptable or if a counter offer shall be made by the owner, then we will contact you immediately with the result. If the bid is thrown out due to a low offer, you will not get a follow up.
- When your bid is accepted, you will be required to pay for the lodging in full via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover) and execute our standard lodging agreement within the next 90 minutes. Failure to do so will void your accepted bid, and we will not resubmit for approval. Remember, if someone books before you confirm it, your offer is also VOID.
- Your right to the vacation property cannot be assigned or re-sold. Please carefully review our occupancy guidelines as this is your responsibility.
- Our standard processing fee, Accidental Damage Protection Plan, and taxes will be added to the agreed upon bid submitted below. No exceptions.
- A non-response after 24 hours shall deem the bid to have been unacceptable to the property owner, or thrown out due to an unrealistic offer, so please continue looking for a rental.
- We will only accept the first bid submitted in a given day per person/email address, so only 1 BID ALLOWED. If you bid on multiple homes, all bids will be thrown out. If your first bid is accepted, you will not be permitted to make additional bids unless you are looking at booking multiple homes or a different date.
- Please remember bidding is only allowed on properties within 5 days of arrival and only allowed for one home at a time. Bids that are outside of that 5 day window will be ignored and deleted, as will unrealistic bids.
- Please review the policies and procedures put forth and do not make a bid unless you agree to all terms.
