Experience Sandestin’s The Village of Baytowne Wharf like never before. Use the tram passes in your unit to step aboard the resort-wide shuttle service at no extra cost to you. Don’t worry about having a cocktail (or a few!) and indulge in the most scrumptious restaurants around town. The nightlife is fun and the day shopping in local boutiques is stress-relieving. Bring the kids to Baytowne’s Adventure Zone or Blast Arcade or pack up everyone for a family-fun adventure to the weekly Luau, fireworks, magic show, and more! The Sandestin Marina and bar are walking distance from Baytowne Wharf and offer stellar sunset views, fun drinks, and rental watersport activities. Jolee’s Island Nature Park is just moments away from Baytowne Wharf and provides 5 acres of entertainment. From picnic and grilling grounds to a playground fit for a kid pirate, this Island will entertain the family for hours. Get lost wandering the trails to various hideaways or relax on a porch swing while the kids play. Both of Sandestin’s Baytowne Wharf and Jolee Island are perfect ways to get the family out and about to experience what our gorgeous resort has to offer!

Hi Ivan, Thank you for the wonderful review! We're happy to hear you and your family had an awesome time at Beachside II. We're looking forward to having you again!



Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Hi Brent! Thank you for your positive comments . I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us (minus the riptide that occurred during your stay)! We do offer our repeat guests a special discount and thank you for booking with Gibson Beach Rentals.



Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Hi Paula, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. Thank you for choosing Gibson Beach Rentals!




Overall it was a good stay. The location is awesome, master bed very comfortable, and the service when something needs fixing is very fast and efficient. I would say it had an odd odor when we arrived, the couch almost smelling like a dog had been on it. Maybe pets are allowed...not sure. There was not enough hot water for two people to take a shower at the same time which I found unusual for any condo I have rented in the past. Overall, it was a nice, well stocked condo. We love Beachside 2 as a location most of all and the beautiful waters of Mirimar Beach.
Property Manager Response:
Love that stunning pic! Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. Beachside II is not pet friendly so we are puzzled about the unusual odor. Next time please pick up the phone and we will send our housekeeping staff over. We are sorry that you had the issue with the hot water. The hot water is handled through Sandestin and is out of our control. We apologize for the inconvenience. We are so glad that you otherwise enjoyed your stay and loved your accommodations at Beachside II! We appreciate your feedback and hope you will stay with us again. Don't forget to ask for the returning guest discount on your next visit!





Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

sofa nd chairs very soft, need at least one firm sitting piece for people that cant sit on soft surfaces due to back issues.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We apologize for the dryer going on the fritz, unfortunately that happens sometimes. We're happy to say the the issue has been resolved, it just needed a little work. We're so happy y'all enjoyed your stay and would be honored to have you join us again. Be sure to mention our repeat discount code on your next visit.



Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Cecil we absolutely wish January at the beach had been better to you! We appreciate your review and definitely apologize for the bitter cold and the pool heater having mechanical issues. It has since been repaired. Unfortunately, the winter season is prime time for owners to upgrade and renovate their units. We're so sorry for the excessive noise but unfortunately that's how progress is made. Hopefully next year will be warmer and have loads more sunshine for you!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Awesome!! Yes indeed, the king mattress was replaced in August 2017 and we're so excited you slept so wonderfully. Thanks for the fantastic 5 star review, we appreciate it and hope to have you back again real soon.





Very nice condo with great gulf view. Enjoyed our time here
Property Manager Response:
Thanks for being such a loyal, repeat guest Pam, we appreciate it!! I bet those cute pups in your photo wish they could have gotten to visit the beach too! We look forward to having your family join us again soon.






Great condo, nice parking deck. Family stays every year with GBR. Did like the no carpet in the rooms. Dryer does not work real well, but we will wash clothes when we get home. King bed is extremely uncomfortable, tv in other room has remote missing for the tv itself so you cannot use the DVD player. After 2 people take a shower there isn't anymore hot water. All of these things can be fixed, so overall it was a good stay and get away from home! Good view from the balcony
Property Manager Response:
We are so glad you all came back again this year! We do apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. As always, please inform us of any issue and we are happy to do what we can to resolve it immediately. If we don’t know, we can’t help. The dryer is now repaired and the remote has been replaced. Unfortunately, these units don’t have large water heaters, so it does take a minute for it to catch up when a family is utilizing the hot water. We will also relay the message in reference to the master bed to the owner. Mattresses are the hardest thing to get people to agree on, too hard, too soft, etc., but we try really hard to please everyone. Thanks for your honesty, we hope you return again next year.




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We are so happy you enjoyed the unit and your stay!! Come back & see us again soon!



Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're so sorry your time with us wasn't perfect, but hopefully you enjoyed your hard-earned vacation. Unfortunately the hot water heaters in most condos are not the same large size as in an average home and with multiple people using hot water at the same time, it can take a minute for the hot water heater to catch up. As for the mattresses, it's truly difficult to please everyone; some like soft, some like more firm. We wish we could do more in this area for our guests, but personal preferences are so widely varied. We were more than happy to help with the wheelchair access. Our goal is for you to worry less and relax more.




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Sounds like you've found the perfect beach vacation spot! Thanks for the awesome review! Hope to have you back again soon.




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Sounds like you've found the best vacation spot! We're so excited you had such a great time and can't wait for you to come back this summer.





Great condo with a beautiful view. Balcony feels private and spacious. This place was very spacious and clean and liked that there was no carpet. Close and ample parking at all times. Close to beach and pool. The only negative was the king bed mattress which was very uncomfortable and the bedspread needed washing (we remove as soon as we get there and don't use but noticed it). We had a great time here and would definitely return to this unit again.
Property Manager Response:
We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us! We always love knowing we created a happy memory! Unfortunately, with the mattress situation, there is very little we can do. Every has their specific type of comfort in a bed. We do apologize that it was uncomfortable. As far as the comforter, did you mention that to our staff so we can get that taken care of as soon as possible. Sometime, as we do not stay in the condos, we may have missed something, but we will do our best to get this taken care. We do want to welcome you back next year and we can guarantee that you will not be disappointed
Your request has been sent. We look forward to meeting all your vacation needs!

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.
