We have stayed at beachside two for 10 years, love this building and we love Gibson Rentals! This unit was great on the 3rd floor, close to the stairs and parking garage. We’d totally stay in this same unit again.

Everything was awesome, only bad thing is that only one elevator was working when we checked in. We waited over 30 minutes to get on the elevator because there was a line. Other than that everything was awesome.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! I appreciate your comments regarding the elevator and will share them with the building association. It is wonderful to hear that you had a great time, and we hope to host you again in the future!

We have stayed at Sandestin for years in the Beachside towers. It is the best location right on the beach. This was a last minute spring break trip so we were very limited in availability. Condo was overall good and the price was good too, but could use a few improvements. Master bath needs updating the huge garden tub/shower is hard to get in & out of. Towels were tiny and rough. Kitchen cookware needs to be replaced. The rusted lounge chair with no cushion is pointless. Looks like the patio table was new but the pvc chairs need to be updated too. A few more changes would go a long way. Updated hardwood look floors are nice, condo has been painted gray, there is a newer sofa than what is shown (new one is navy blue), with a lounge section on one end, new round glass coffee table and the console for the tv has been updated too, so it looks like they are trying! Overall it was a good stay.

This is the second year we’ve stayed at Beachside 2 and it was great! The bldg is right on the beach. Very clean and well-maintained. Even after the hurricane went thru a couple weeks before, you’d never know it by the way everything was taken care of. The condo itself was spacious, well stocked, the bed was comfortable, and of course the view was fantastic!

Overall a great place to rent! Very clean, great location and view is amazing!! The pictures are accurate. The beds are comfortable, enough linens are supplied and it’s nice to have a few beach chairs and an umbrella. Understand these are not the resort beach chairs and umbrella that are set up for you. Those are not included in the rental. There are lots of restaurants and shops nearby and it is a nice drive into Destin. A few minor issues - the walls are pretty thin so can easily hear your neighbors. And it would have been nice to have a larger chopping knife and a broom. I’m sure if I had contacted the management company they would have supplied a broom, but we didn’t. We came back from the beach a couple of days to find a very strong smell like nail polish remover. Not sure what it was, was not there every day and again, we did not notify management co about it as the smell did not last long. These small issues were not a big deal and overall the condo was fantastic!! We look forward to being able to visit again and would absolutely stay here again!

Amazing! The view, the placement of the unit, the amenities, the staff, we couldn't have asked for a better first time to Destin...other than our last 2 day we had a riptide warning keeping everyone out of the water. So we lost a couple days, but the unit was perfect. We have already talked about a return visit. I could go on for a long time about all of our experiences in Destin, but being first time VRBO users and having this unit - we will be return customers.

We have vacationed in Destin for 6 years and I must say this condo has been one of the cleanest placeses we have stayed. Bravo to the cleaning service! The view was awsome and is located on the 3rd floor. The elevator(not busy at all) is 10 steps away from your front door and is not the same elevator used by 90% of the condos so you will never be bugged by foot traffic. We called this our private elevator. I would book this again next year!

The grounds are beautiful, the condo was large and well furnished. Tennis courts are set up for pickle ball instead of tennis. Tennis raquet stayed in the car. Pool was not heated - swimming goggles for lap swimming stayed in the bag.Excessive contractor noise from just below us. Beautiful veiw, great condo, extremely cold weather.
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!

Our family had a good time while we were there. The condo was nice. My only complaint would be that the hot water doesn't last very long and the beds were not comfortable at all (very hard). We had a wheelchair bound person traveling with us so we knew it was going to be a tight squeeze for him but we were able to make it work. I wish we could've stayed longer and had been able to explore more because I know there was a lot we didn't see. Maybe a site map would be helpful. We had a good time.
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.

We enjoyed our first stay to Sandestin. We liked this condo there is an elevator right outside the door and goes to the parking garage, much faster than the main elevators. We were on the 3rd floor. Our Bedroom view for this unit was blocked somewhat by palm trees but the patio had a great view. The A/C was cold, great kitchen, bathrooms, cable tv and internet were all fine. Great beach access and pool with a 9 1/2 ft deep end!!!

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. It makes us smile inside that you fell in love with the condo and could even extend your stay! Who doesn't like extra time at the beach? The location is perfect, almost unbeatable in our opinion! The Beachside II Homeowner's Association has been discussing plans to renovate the workout room so keep your eyes peeled. The Sandestin Fitness Center is close by as well just in case you can't live without the gym! When ya'll return, please refer to this booking so we can help save you money by applying the return guest discount. A little money goes a long way! See ya'll soon!

Our family of four (kids ages 6 and 10 years) enjoyed our 4-day, 3-night stay at Beachside II 4226. The beach view from the room was amazing. It is on the 3rd floor and very close to the elevator, which was a plus. Our kids enjoyed playing on the beach and swimming in the pool. Although we had a great stay, here are the reasons I didn't give a 5-star review for this condo. (1) The master bed needs a better quality mattress. The mattress is hard and uncomfortable. A nicer bed would be a plus but at a minimum the mattress needs updating. (2) The master bathroom tub needs updating/repairing. It's completely functional (with great water pressure which is a definite plus!) but it is outdated and has some damaged areas. (3) There is also mold on the ceiling above the tub. (4) The kitchen has a modest supply of kitchen items but could use some basic items like salt, pepper, cooking oil, etc, the kinds of things most guests forget to bring. (5) Also, the bathroom rugs are pretty cheap and old. Please invest in nicer (and softer) rugs. (6) The trash bags provided are very thin and tear easily. We had to clean up the floor when one of the bags (not even half full) split and dumped garbage on the floor. (7) The dryer took 2 hours to dry 3 beach towels so I would recommend checking the heating elements and the dryer vents. We would stay at Beachside II again but would like to see these items updated/repaired (at least a new mattress in the master bedroom). Also, if you stay at Beachside II and don't want to rent a chair/umbrella ($$), you need to get to the beach early because they take up a lot of the space right in front of the waterline. That is very frustrating considering the beach area is private for guests of Beachside II. Having to sit behind 2 rows of chairs (mostly empty) and umbrellas isn’t fun when you’d like to see the ocean. Lastly, the phone app for checking in the property was an awesome feature! Check-in was super easy!
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thanks so much for your feedback! This is awesome information to have on-hand, and we are glad to get your opinion. We have inspected the unit and have not found any mold as this is taken very seriously and is a major health concern. We've cleaned all the areas just in case to ensure there isn't dust/air particles from the AC vents that are sticking to the popcorn ceiling! We will pass along your recommendations on updates in the bathroom and possibly a new mattress; we haven't received other complaints that we are aware of and mattresses can be a hard thing to please everyone as people's expectations vary greatly between soft and hard; we have no problem at all passing your suggestion to them though! We do indicate in our rental contracts what supplies are provided; unfortunately due to safety and sanitary regulations and standards for condos, we are unable to provide cooking items such as oil, spices, etc. We'll certainly update you though if these become available for purchase in the near future! We did recently add more supplies than any of our competitors after seeing for ourselves what they supply and hearing our guest's opinions - we apologize you had an issue with the trash bag and will look into what other options are available to our housekeeping vendor though as well as the rugs in the bathroom! We will follow-up on the dryer as well as sometimes sand can get stuck in the dryer vent - it's a quick and easy fix that eliminates much frustration! Thank you again for letting us know all this information; it's great to have, and we are so happy ya'll could enjoy the gorgeous condo. These Owners love the space and try to keep it up nicely!

We had a great stay. The condo had nice décor and provided pretty much everything we needed. Loved that it was on the beach! The only downsides were the carpets need to be replaced and both toilets need a little work...they would keep running. This was a good area because we were between Destin and 30A which had the places we wanted to visit. I would stay at Beachside again.
