This was our second year staying at Beachside 2 and our first using Gibson rentals. The unit 4288 we stayed in was nice, kitchen with all that you needed for cooking anything. The views from the balcony were great and the unit had everything we needed for our week stay. The bed was comfortable and the leather sofa and love seat were not that comfortable to sit in. We had a couple of small issues in the bathroom that became annoying, sink drain all but stopped up and the shower head was very hard to adjust. I made several calls to the ladies in the front office about these two problems and they finally showed up but never really fixed either item. I finally took care of the drain problem and we just dealt with the shower head. The room did have two beach chairs and umbrella which was nice.

We are very happy that you like Beachside 2 and decided to us for your stay this time. We will let the owner know about your concerns with the leather sofas. We are deeply sorry if you feel that we did not address your issues in the most timely manner. We do try to address all concerns and complaint as swiftly as possible. We are pleased to see you were able to take advantage of the beach chairs and umbrella. We do hope you consider us in the future for your next beach vacation. We would love a chance to wow you and to offer you our returning guest discount.

I find myself still thinking about this place. We stayed only for three days after attending a conference a few weeks ago. The pictures and descriptions are very accurate... this place is stunning and the owners have thought of everything. We were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful views from the balcony. The amenities and this property from the parking to the pool to the friendly Gibson staff was just what we were looking for. We only wish we could bring our CGC well behaved schnoodle with us. We will definatley be back to stay longer next time. Thank you for a wonderful place!

Nice unit in a nice complex with several convenient features like a commercial ice machine in the lobby, beach food and drink service, etc. Owned property in Destin in the 80's & 90's, sold it and left because of the traffic. They are trying to fix it (think a 6 lane Hwy. 98) but it is still a challenge. Destin is a lovely area as long as you are patient and smart with the traffic.

The rental was beautiful and very clean located in a very nice complex. The bed was not comfortable and the lighting was very poor for applying makeup. I had to get ready using a small mirror on the balcony. The balcony furniture was great though. Thoroughly enjoyed the dolphin watching each morning while drinking coffee on the balcony. The living room was very comfortable as well with great couch and loveseat. The Beachside II was extremely busy for late September. The biggest drawback was getting woken up early (around 6:30am) while on vacation one morning to a jack hammer, another morning by the lawn blower around the pool, and another morning by a man with a megaphone hosting a triathlon. The room is directly above the pool so there was always a lot going on.

Oh no! While on vacation, you're supposed to worry less & relax more; we're so sorry you didn't get to. This is the first time having someone say the bed wasn't comfortable, we're terribly sorry it didn't suit you. That's always the hardest thing for most people to agree on unfortunately. Believe it or not, September is still quite busy here on the Emerald Coast. Maybe next time you'd like to come back, let us help you find a more quite spot that would be a better fit for you. It can be quite noisy keeping the resort in tip-top shape sometimes, we apologize for the inconvenience.

We have stayed in San Destin many times but this was our first stay at Beachside II. The unit is located on the 8th floor facing West with beautiful views of the beach, ocean, pool and breathtaking sunrises from the balcony. The balcony is a nice size (for a one bedroom) having two comfortable chairs and 2 end tables.
The interior of the condo was super clean, (which is a requirement for my wife as she owns a cleaning business), well decorated with impressive furnishings.
Although we didn't cook, the kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans and cooking utensils. The bed is comfy with high quality sheets and pillows. My wife enjoyed the makeup table and chair that was next to the bed. The bathroom appears to have been recently remodeled with a travertine tiled shower. I might add that the water pressure was excellent!
The only issue we had, was the bedroom seemed to be a bit warmer than the rest of the unit. We kept the air conditioner set on 67 and could not seem to get the bedroom as cool as the living room/kitchen. We kept the curtains closed the entire time to help insulate but still managed to be a bit warmer in the bedroom.
A small fan to set on the dresser would have been perfect.
We had a wonderful time and will definitely request this unit for future stays in San Destin. So far, it ranks as our favorite!
The interior of the condo was super clean, (which is a requirement for my wife as she owns a cleaning business), well decorated with impressive furnishings.
Although we didn't cook, the kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans and cooking utensils. The bed is comfy with high quality sheets and pillows. My wife enjoyed the makeup table and chair that was next to the bed. The bathroom appears to have been recently remodeled with a travertine tiled shower. I might add that the water pressure was excellent!
The only issue we had, was the bedroom seemed to be a bit warmer than the rest of the unit. We kept the air conditioner set on 67 and could not seem to get the bedroom as cool as the living room/kitchen. We kept the curtains closed the entire time to help insulate but still managed to be a bit warmer in the bedroom.

Whoohoo!! We love hearing this! Thanks so much for your excellent 5 star review, we appreciate it. Beachside II 4288 is a true gem and we're so glad you loved all the finer touches it offers. As for the bedroom temperature, unfortunately, that's the case for the majority of the units in the Beachside II tower due to design/ventilation installation. We would have been happy to bring you a portable fan, next time just give us a call/email. Thankfully it's only a minor inconvenience and that you took advantage of the your time here and the spectacular scenery all around us. Come back again soon for another visit & be sure to mention our repeat guest discount.
Beautiful views!

Beautiful view, clean condo, and conveniently located on the beach. Our only complaint is the patio furniture. It's hard wooden chairs are uncomfortable while relaxing and enjoying the beach view.
Property Manager Response:
We're so sorry! Were the cushions not on the patio furniture? We really wish you would have contacted us, we could have helped. Hopefully you enjoyed your stay and much needed beach time. The photo you shared with us is beautiful! Come back again soon!

We just returned from a fabulous trip to Miramar beach. The condo was exactly as described and looks exactly like the pictures.
The location is perfect...you are in close proximity to some amazing restaurants. We enjoyed the free tram ride to Baytowne Wharf and took advantage of some of the free activities they offered like the fireworks. When we first arrived we had an air conditioning problem which was quickly resolved. My favorite part was waking up to a view of the ocean. Oh...watching dolphins while sitting on the balcony was a huge bonus too.

We decided at the last minute to return to the Sandestin resort and were pleased to see that this condo which we stayed at in 2015 was available. The condo was very clean and everything was in working order. My only minor complaint is that we enjoy sitting on the balcony every evening and the seating is not very comfortable and could be upgraded. Otherwise, we were very happy with our stay and would definitely return to Beachside II 4288.

Great condo at a great price! My girlfriend and I stayed for a week for a half-vacation, half-conference trip. I was a little late looking for rooms but found this one at a very competitive price and it fit the bill and then some! Very close to the beach, bike trails, and Baytowne. I recommend the SunQuest dinner cruise if looking for a romantic date :) there were coupons provided in a booklet in the condo! Otherwise, I found the place very convenient as so many little amenities were included such as paper towels, koozies, and beach chairs/umbrella among others. Only negative was no access to Netflix despite a tv box that supported it (but no wireless connection and no Ethernet cable) - not a big deal as I didn't want a condo on the beach for the purpose of watching tv, but would have been nice. Overall: 10/10 - would stay again!

The condo and location were very nice. The only thing I would change about the condo would be more electrical outlets.
I do not know if it was the holiday weekend or the 3 additional condos added to Sandestin, but I have never been on a beach that crowded.

Gorgeous condo, great resort, wonderful stay. This condo has everything you'll need for a fantastic getaway. Love waking up to the gulf view and enjoying the breeze. Watched dolphins swimming in the gulf before even getting out of bed as I woke up one morning! Nothing was needed from the management company this year but in the past any complaint or need was addressed immediately. Thanks for another great stay, Gibson Beach!!

The condo was amazing with wonderful gulf views. I love that it heels like a home and not just a rent condo. The furniture, TV, style of the condo was great. It also felt very safe as they have a security guard at the front entrance plus you receive a code to access our condo's gate.

The unit was beautiful - well furnished, everything was comfortable, clean, plenty of space for us. While there is a pull out sofa, there is only 1 bath, so to us, it was a great space for a couple, but might be a bit small for a family unless you like sharing bathroom space. The balcony has a beautiful view of the beach/ocean. We loved sitting out there for morning coffee and for evening wine. You cannot see the sunset from this unit, but its a quick walk down to the beach to watch. The ocean/beach also great view from bedroom windows. This is our second rental from Gibson Beach and we highly recommend this location. Easy to get in/out, property is very nice, everyone we've met have been great. This property is central to just about everything you want to see/do! Cant wait for our next visit.

Overall, a very nice place. This may seem a little petty, but apparently the management company sets a limit on how low you can set the thermostat. So, it was somewhat warm in the unit, which was not bad, until we got in the bed. It was just too warm for me, which in turn, I didn't sleep too well. Also, they could put a king size bed in the only bedroom, it was a little tight, for two adults. But, overall it was a really nice, clean unit, with great views.

We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and the amazing views of the Emerald Coast! I apologize for the inconvenience of the queen sized bed. We can mention this to the owner, guest suggestions are always welcomed. In regards to the thermostat, we don't have a limit on the temperature control; however, if set too low, as with any unit, it can freeze up. Thanks for providing your feedback, we will take all of this into consideration. If you would like to visit again in the future, we would be happy to search for the perfect unit to fit your needs. Be sure to mention the repeat guest discount when you contact us.

Everything and more than we expected from the moment we arrived it was just awesome! The home was beautifully decorated and super comfortable with everything you needed for a wonderful vacation down to the beach umbrellas and chairs. It was absolutely the cleanest place I have ever stayed in with everything in working order. The property was great right on the beach with a bar and restaurant, golf course and 2 beautiful pools. I have been coming to Destin for a number of years and this place is the best property I have stayed in thus far, we will definitely be back.
