The condo is exactly as it is pictured.
The master bed was the best bed I've slept in from all my vacation stays with 15 years with VRBO. Close to beach. Just wish they would include beach service so we could be part of the 80% they take vs only having 20% beach usage. Glad we were able walk down beach to have front row seats.

the condo was in a great location and very well kept and clean. the only issue we had was the construction. we knew they were working on the condo just wasn't prepared for it being right ourside our balcony and it being covered in dust. But that wasn't the fault of Gibson. just bad loch on our part. we also lost internet and tv our last day here and that was never resolved. but all in all it was a pretty condo and well cared for. we would try it again.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at The Beach Manor. It was so awesome waking up to the gorgeous ocean view each morning. Located in a gated community yet so close and convenient to restaurants and shopping. Such an easy quick stroll down to the beach. The condo had everything we needed including beach chairs and umbrella. The master bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in while away from home. We plan to reserve this same condo in the near future.

We loved this property! I wasn’t sure how we would like the angled view from the balcony but it was beautiful having the Tops’l Preserve right next to us. Wonderful view of both the gulf and the preserve. Condo was clean and had everything we needed. Decor was nice, too! Unfortunately it rained everyday of our stay so the covered parking garage was a nice amenity. We would love to stay in this unit again.

The entire trip went without a single hitch. The condo was ready when we arrived. Unloading was easy with access to carts. The property personnel were very helpful and friendly. Beach Manor is very well maintained. The condo is in a great spot for a spectacular view of the beach. All appliances worked flawlessly. We had everything available to either go out or cook in. The location next made it for easy access to restaurants and shopping.

The view from our bedroom and living room was gorgeous. The pools were nice and spacious. Right on the beach. Great amenities.

This was our fourth stay at Tops’l. Our family of 5 loved Beach Manor 1206! It had everything we needed. The view from the master suite was AMAZING! I loved waking up and seeing the beautiful sunrise and sparkling water! We loved the “extras” such as the beach chairs and umbrella. We would definitely rent 1206 again. It was our favorite room of the 4 Tops’l rooms we’ve stayed in. We used to rent through Best Beach Getaways but we have found a new home with Gibson Beach Rentals! Thank you!!

5's across the board! We love to make our guest happy. We are thrilled that you had such a great trip with us. Of course having a breath taken view doesn't hurt.

Fantastic week in a fantastic unit. 12th floor offers more privacy and less traffic. The unit was well equipped and very clean. We have been coming to Tops'l Beach Manor for 20 years and all of our this have been fantastic but this unit ranks near the top of the list. Easy check in and out, clear instructions on wifi and cable.
One issue totally unrelated to the unit was Red Tide, mainly airborne. Nothing serious, a minor irritation but it did impact the entire region's beaches. First time we have ever encountered any beach related issues. Check beach conditions before you come but book this unit, it is a gem.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
You're a gem for leaving such a great review! Thanks so much. We're thrilled y'all loved the condo and we look forward to your next visit. Unfortunately, like you mentioned, Red Tide did make an appearance but we're glad y'all still had a great time anyway.

Another great fall break at Beach Manor. As always, Gibson is great. Loved the unit and the view was spectacular. My only complaint was how hot the master was compared to the rest of the unit. Need more AC in that room. But on the whole, a great sized unit. We had 6 guests and never felt crowded.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're so happy you all loved the unit and your time here! Unfortunately the duct work in the building cannot be changed to allow for additional air flow into any one room. Most units, especially directly on the beach, have one room that differs in temperature more so than others. Keeping the drapes closed does help quite a bit, especially in the warm afternoon hours. We hope it didn't inconvenience you all too much. Thanks for the review, we appreciate it!

Beach Manor @ Tops'l is a great location with amenities including a fitness room, pool, dry sauna and spa. Unit 1206 faces east, affording spectacular sunrise views of uncrowded white beaches. The unit has a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable living room seating, and is adequate for four adult guests. It does need, at the very least, a deep cleaning. The bedroom carpets and living room area rug are stained. Dirt and dust have collected along the edges and corners of the bedrooms. Baseboards and door facings, particularly around the doorknobs, are dirty. Walls are scraped and chipped in several places. The unit is showing its age and use. We would rent this unit again, however, with a few minor cosmetic/cleaning improvements. The rental company is professional, friendly, and efficient; the app is easy to use. We felt the fall special weekly rate is fair. We've stayed in several different units and buildings in Tops'l. The resort is convenient to restaurants and shops, some within walking distance. It is adjacent to a state park, providing hiking and biking opportunities. It's a great fall beach destination.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for your honest and open review, it is appreciated. The fall is indeed the time when we deep clean our units; something that's impossible to do during peak season. This unis is inline for a deep cleaning October 2017. We are glad you all enjoyed Beach Manor 1206, the Tops'l Resort and the Emerald Coast!

Beach Manor 1206 is a very nice property with great views of a private preserve, state park, and the associated uncrowded beaches. I travel with kitchen gear, but didn't need to use much of it because the kitchen was well-equipped. Internet was pretty lousy, dropping us unless we booted right by the router. Everything else was very nice. We especially appreciated the call from the Gibson folks letting us know that our condo was ready early. Great service!
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're happy to hear y'all had a wonderful time. Unfortunately with the influx of so many people to the Emerald Coast, the wifi signals do have a hard time keeping up every now and again.

We have stayed at Topsl Tides in the past but this trip we wanted to stay at the Beach Manor. Unit 1206 was exactly what we are looking for. The unit was clean and in my opinion has the best view of the beach in Topsl. I love being able to see out into the Gulf of Mexico and an unobstructed view of 4 Mile beach looking eastward from the condo. We will definitely stay in Beach Manor again.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
This is perfect! Our Owners have this condo and purchased it for the same exact reason: those gorgeous, unobstructed views. You rarely find this in Destin anymore and Beach Manor 1206 provides the perfect experience. Thanks for choosing our services, and we hope to have you back in town again for another beach visit! It's so good for the soul!

My 3 sisters and I brought our 88 year old mom to the beach for a combined Mother's Day and Birthday celebration. For most of us, it was our first time visiting the area. We loved the condo and found it to be conveniently located to everything. The folks at Gibson Beach Rentals were easy to work with and their app was so helpful and informative. We had no issues other than the garage being a little tight for the large Suburban we had rented. But we managed fine with just being careful and selective on a parking spot. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, convenient place to stay in the Destin/Miramar Beach area. Thanks to the Gibson folks for making it all so easy and enjoyable!

My family and I loved Beach Manor 1206. The condo is beautifully appointed, clean and very welcoming. The king mattress in the master bedroom was extremely comfortable.

This was an updated unit and very nice But the complex needs renovation. Overall our stay was nice. check out is 10am and that was early. Usually its 11 at hotels. The Gibson staff were great. They called once we checked in to make sure everything was good. The gibson app was very helpful HIghly recommend that.
Guesta need to bring salt and pepper, extra toilet paper and papertowels. Dont know if i would stay at this rental again due to the side view of the gulf. May try another gulf facing unit with gibson.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for your review. We apologize the state of the complex, but happy that you still liked the unit's interior. We would have been happy to arrange a later check-out time if we would have been notified - 11:00am would have been perfectly fine as it still gives our housekeeping and inspectors plenty of time to attend to the unit after your departure and before the next arrival. When you book next time, also let us know your preference for a direct Gulf view and we would be happy to help you find the best one for you.

This is the second year we have stayed at this unit and we absolutely love it. The condo has upgraded finishes and the beds/furniture are comfy. The views are amazing - they face the residential/park beach area to the East of the property making you feel like you are on a seculed beach. The pools and beaches are fantastic! The location of the property is also great - away from the busy area in Destin, but still close to areas to shop and dine. We will certainly be back next year.

We rented 1206 Tops'l Beach Manor for our annual summer family vacation (2 adults, 2 kids age 13 & 9). This condo was absolutely terrific. The finish, décor and amenities were top notch. We loved the view from the 12th floor overlooking the beach. Easy access to three pools, tiki bar, and of course the gorgeous Sandestin beach. Condo was clean, ready, and well equipped when we arrived. It was very quiet in this unit and building. The Tops'l complex is close to all Sandestin and Seaside attractions. It is a ways from downtown Destin which I considered a plus.

Everything about this trip was beyond expectation. The beach was pristine and the water unbelievably clear. The "brelly" boys worked with us and made allowances for the rainy days.

We all are ready to come back as soon as possible.

The condo was beautifully decorated. The walk to the beach wasnt bad at all and I would only suggest the ability to load a cart with beach items and be able to walk it to the end of the sidewalk, which is what we did but an employee fussed at us for doing it. :(
Gibson Beach Rentals staff was great throughout the entire process of booking.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for taking the time to give us such a wonderful review, we are most happy that you enjoyed the decorations as the owner recently did some exquisite remodeling! I will pass along your suggestion to add beach carts to the Home Owner's Association Manager and see if this is something that can be done for our guests and guests in this building in the future as that is a great idea to have not only luggage carts, but beach carts when your room is steps from the beach.
