The living area offers a welcoming space for you to kick off your shoes and chill after a busy (or hot) day. There is both cable and fast, free Wifi included with your stay. If you don't feel like getting out and about, use the fully-stocked kitchen to make a yummy dinner at home. We supply a starter pack of coffee to get you going in the morning, and the Owners also include a blender and toaster in addition to the fridge, microwave, oven/stove, and dishwasher. When dinner is done, go relax on your private water-view balcony and breathe in the refreshing salt air that surrounds you.
Before you know it, it will be time for your sweet slumber. Curl up in the luxurious King bed and watch the evening news as you drift into a good night's sleep. In the mornings, enjoy a hot shower and prepare for another epic day in Destin. Have overnight guests? No problem! The living room couch folds out so you can accommodate up to 2 more guests for the night. It's pretty hard to leave this piece of paradise; from relaxing sunsets to quiet mornings, there are so many things to love about our brand new "Destination: Paradise" vacation rental!
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!

Thank you for this review Kathleen. We're pleased to see you thoroughly enjoyed your wedding weekend stay in this condo and received the true Gibson Beach Rentals 5-star experience we strive for everyday. We hope the minor inconvenience of not having coffee did not deter you from having a wonderful vacation getaway and hope to have you back with us again soon!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We are so grateful Gibson Beach Rentals was a part of your memorable vacation and can't wait for you to come back! October is definitely a beautiful time of year on the Emerald Coast! Don't forget to use your repeat guest discount when you book with Gibson Beach Rentals again!




The location and rental are beautiful. The resort has everything you need from shopping to dining. There is also a Walmart and a Publix close by. The condo was very spacious and had great views of the gulf course and beach. My only complaint is that cleaning needs to be more thorough. The floor was not clean and there was grease on the stovetop and microwave. Since this is a rental I assumed cleaning would not be detailed, so I carried Clorox spray and wiped everything down. Overall, I would stay here again.
Property Manager Response:

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.
