We have stayed at Beachside II for many years and this is the first time a golf cart has been provided!! We enjoyed riding the cart to Baytowne and around the property after a day at the beach. The original unit booked was not ready due to construction, so this unit was offered and ended up being larger with the golf cart and less expensive than the 1 bedroom! We walked right out of our room to the elevator to go down to the parking garage so that was great! There was lots of construction going on while there the 2nd week of May 2023, but realize that for there to be improvements, this has to happen. Always recommend Beachside II.

Stayed a week with my two teen girls. The place was beautiful and comfortable. We were told there was construction happening with a bit of a discounted price (not inexpensive) but we didn’t realize the extent. It was MAJOR construction. Other than waking up to a jackhammer weekday mornings at 8am, it didn’t affect our stay as we were out most of the day and construction ended by 5. Pool closed due to construction.
The condo was exceptionally clean and the beds were very comfortable. All
This was our first time to this area of Fla. nice area, water is still cold in April.
Beaches were super crowded in this area, but much less down the road. Golf cart was a great addition. If this is the area you’re looking at then you want be disappointed in this condo (post construction). I’ll be headed further south next time, just preference.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

I’ve stayed at several resorts from Gulf Shores, Panama & Destin. This resort has been the best one yet. I really like the security at the front gate to having another security gate when entering your condo. The golf course is beautiful and having a putt-putting course & a basketball court is a great. I highly recommend this resort.

This was our first time in the Destin area and we got lucky and picked the right place. This condo was great, the location couldn't have been better. The condo is on the fourth floor across from an elevator. We liked that because there is a main elevator that most people used and this elevator was always available. We liked that the condo has two completely separate rooms and bathrooms. The condo is in great condition and everything was well planned out. The condo comes with a golf cart, beach chairs, umbrellas, and a fully equipped kitchen. We parked our car and really didn't use it the whole time we were here. We used the golf cart to go to the grocery store, Starbucks, restaurants, bars, everything. We absolutely loved this condo and resort. We will be coming back.

Loved this unit. Love the view, the layout, and the kitchen table. The couch was different than the picture. Looks like they replaced it with linen couches that weren't very comfortable. We stayed outside most the time anyway. Beachside II and Gibson were great.

Good experience overall. Beaches crowded. Vacuum cleaner in condo just pushed crumbs and sand around. Patio furniture needs replacing/repainted. Paint flakes everywhere on balcony.

We have forwarded these comments to the appropriate parties to address and assist further.

This was a perfect unit for our family of five. Plenty of space and very clean. Ocean view was a huge bonus. I had plenty of space on the deck to workout in the mornings to the sound of the ocean waves. We watched dolphins 2 of our mornings. Dining table seats 6 comfortably. This was our 2nd vacation in Sandestin. Great resort for families - plenty to do and safe. The only set back - lots of construction in Sandestin.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We are so happy you got to have such a delightful stay at BEACHSIDE II UNIT 4238! Dolphins are always a great bonus when here. We love that you are repeat guests who get to enjoy how safe and convenient we are. We are so sorry the updating of the road and new units being added put a damper on your trip. Feel free in the future to call us and we can update you with any events or remodeling that is happening on Sandestin. We hope you consider us in the future for any vacation needs that you may have.

My wife and I recently booked a one-week stay at Beachside 2 through Gibson Beach Rentals. Everyone we dealt with at Gibson was a joy to work with. We couldn’t be happier with the easy check in/check out procedures and the courtesy and professionalism of their staff. The unit was also exceptional. We had one little hiccup with a leaking paint can in a storage closet, which was promptly cleaned up after we reported it. We would definitely stay at this property again, and would rent through Gibson.

This unit was great for our family. We had two adults, two 17 year old boys, and a 5 year old. The ability to get out to the beach easily was very nice. The beach did get a little crowded from the guests bayside coming over, but if you are willing to go up the beach some on the sandestin property it gets a little bit better.
The boys liked being able to take the tram over to Baytowne in the evenings. The activites there were nice for the family. It was a good way to unwind from a long day in the sun!
Gibson Beach Rentals was very good at communicating with us. They were prompt to let us know it was available early, and they were also available in the office during the day to answer any questions we had about the property.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're so thrilled your family had such a great time on your well-deserved vacation. The beach can get pretty busy during peak season... the Emerald Coast is a popular place to enjoy amazing beaches. Thank you for the compliment, we're happy to be of service to our guests 7 days a week during the summer. Our goal is for you to worry less and relax more. We hope to have you visit again soon!

Very cute updated condo, perfect for our group. We had a great bachelorette weekend. It was nice there were extra beach chairs in the condo, the beach was packed so my recommendation would be to set your stuff up early!

I loved most everything about this unit and it's location. It's close to the elevator from the parking garage so getting in and out with bags was fast. There was always a close parking spot and the unit was on the 4th level so it was quick to get to and had a good view. It was a very short walk to the beachwalk and I could see our chair/umbrella rental from the balcony of the condo. I also used the condo's chair and umbrella for my kids. My children loved the bunk beds and I loved that they had their own bathroom. The only thing that was 100% to my satisfaction was the master bed comfort. But I would definitely recommend this unit and I would return to this unit and most definitely to this building and/or another GBR property!!
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your time on the Emerald Coast. We truly wish personal preferences weren't quite so varied in reference to mattresses because it truly is hard to find one that everyone will love. Our motto is "Worry Less, Relax More" and it sounds like you all did just that. Come back soon!

We just spent 6 days/5 nights in this condo & it was perfect! Condo is exactly as shown in the pics. Very spacious for a 2bdrm/2bath. Great view of the beach! The 2nd bedroom had plenty of space for us to set up our pack n' play for our 18 month old. It was nice & quiet during our stay, either we didn't have any neighbors during our stay or it's nicely insulated & couldn't hear any! The kitchen has a plethora of plates, bowls, silver ware, pans, glasses, everything you need! We really really enjoyed our stay here!
