Wake up to the crashing waves at your windowsill in your King-size master bed or wake up early for the morning news and sunrise views. You have plenty of storage space for your belongings with the closet and dresser. Your bathroom has a relaxing shower/tub combo, vanity space, and toilet. The owners have also provided a washer/dryer inside the property for your convenience as well. Let us help you truly relax and help plan your next (or first) perfect beach vacation!
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!

Allison, we are so appreciative that you chose Gibson for your Memorial Day weekend vacation! Thanks for leaving us a review, and we are glad to hear you had a wonderful time. The photos do indicate the current condition of the property, however if the Owners wind up doing any major renovations, we'll definitely touch base and update you!



We love GBR and particularly Beachside II. This unit had everything we needed, great access to the beach, and we slept comfortably which are what we value most. I would like to see this unit (especially the bathroom) updated as other GBR units are.
Property Manager Response:
Yay! A good nights' sleep can change the world. We appreciate your review & are happy to share your thoughts with the owner. We hope to have you visit again soon!

Wow, we are so happy that you were so pleased with everything! And 5 STARS, we couldn't be happier for you! We strive for our guest to have the best stay possible. Keep in mind, all future trips with us can receive a discount, just ask about it!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're so happy you enjoyed your accommodations and the location! Once peak season is behind us, we do deep cleans on our units for that extra TLC touch. We want our units to be as excellent as our guests expect them to be. We appreciate your review and look forward to your next visit.





Clean condo! Wonderful vacation. Very happy with our stay.
Property Manager Response:
A cloudy day at the beach is still better than no day at the beach, right?! We're so happy to hear y'all had a great time and enjoyed the condo. We appreciate the review and look forward to your next visit!





Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
That's wonderful, we're thrilled you loved the condo and your time spent on the Emerald Coast! We appreciate your review and hope to have you return again.




The room was very nice and as expected but the mattress needs replaced as it is sagging where bodies fit. my husband is 6'8" and 260 lb and it was not comfortable. The site and amenities of this property is great. we utilized the van and didn't drive anywhere after arrival for the quick weekend trip. I like the app!
Property Manager Response:
Oh no! We are so sorry about that! We will be sure to notify the owner of this. Our goal is for you to have a wonderful, relaxing vacation and not to have to worry about the mattress. We are really happy you had such a great time in spite of the troubles. We appreciate you letting us know about this and are addressing the issue at this time.





Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thanks, Denise! We are so lucky to have been able to host you guys. We appreciate the glowing review and are already counting down the days to your next beach vacation with us!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Oh no! Our policy is to have 2 rolls of bathroom tissue and a roll of paper towels for every guest upon arrival until a market trip is made by the guest. We wish you would have notified us of our shortcomings, we would have been happy to make it right with you on the spot. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay in spite of our mistake. Remember to mention our repeat guest discount on your next visit!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Oh no, we're sorry! Next time we can help you find a different unit that will hopefully have a bed tailored to you better. We're happy you enjoyed your stay!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.
