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!

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for this incredible review Princess. We're pleased to see you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in this condo. We're happy you loved the unit, its wonderful location close to many amenities. We love that the effective communication we at Gibson Beach Rentals provided assisted in making your stay great! We're please to see that you received the true GBR 5-star experience we strive for everyday. We hope to have you stay with us again in the near future here on the gorgeous Emerald Coast!



We were excited to spend our yearly couples trip here. I called before we arrived due to the storm to check and see if everything was up and running before we arrived and I was lied to. There was no cable. The guys had to watch the games from my laptop and they didn’t enjoy that. The whole weekend no Tv. We could have brought our fire stick or projector from home if they would have just been honest from the beginning.
Property Manager Response:
We had no prior notice that Cox cable company was having a county wide issue. Once we contacted the cable provider they had stated they were working on the issue. Unfortunately this issue was out of our hands. We hope the minor inconvenience did not deter you from having a much deserved vacation getaway.





every thing is what we expected.. live the space and area and resort. no issues, none what's... all smiles
Property Manager Response:

We had a wonderful stay at Sandestin in the Gibson property. We had my mother with us and she was very comfortable, loved the resort and beach, great restaurants and we felt COVID safe. The property was clean, quiet, and very conveniently located. I would recommend Gibson to anyone who plans to travel to the area. Super easy to book, pay for and the property was available much earlier than anticipated for an early check in! Thanks for making our family’s quick before school quarantine getaway safe and fun!

Gibson Rentals included plenty of start up items too.
We just wished we could have been able to use the fireplace but only owners can
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Hi Becky, I am glad you loved the Heron Walk unit, it definitely make you feel at home. We are sorry about not being able to use the fireplace. Per owner request, they would only like access to the fireplace.




Very nice unit, construction kind of a pain!
Property Manager Response:
Hi Becky,
Thanks for the feedback of your stay with us. I am glad that you like the unit and hope to see you back again. I am sorry for the inconvenience of the construction you had during your stay - they are almost done!





Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Hi Zara thank you for the awesome review we're glad to hear that you had an amazing time at Heron Walk. Thank you for booking with Gibson and we hope to see you again soon!!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're excited to hear y'all loved the condo and had a great time! We're sorry to hear the downstairs mattress wasn't a good fit for you. We haven't had any guest complaints thus far but will check it out immediately and forward our findings to the owner. Unfortunately, mattresses are the hardest thing to get every one to agree on. Some like harder, some like softer; it's really a matter of preference. In spite of that, we're happy to hear you enjoyed your time here.




This house was a great choice for my family! Everything we needed and wanted was readily available! Perfect location! My family will definitely be returning next year! Thank you!
Property Manager Response:
We're so excited you and your family loved Heron Walk! No doubt memories were made to last a lifetime. Thanks for the excellent review, we appreciate it and look forward to having y'all back again.





Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're happy you were so busy having fun on your well-deserved vacation! Unfortunately, traffic is congested in peak season. Apparently everyone wants to be in Paradise for at least a little while. We appreciate your honesty and will share with the owner. Hopefully your memories made here will last a lifetime!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

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.
