This place was better than expected. Super clean and beds very comfortable. There are lots of stores and restaurants downstairs, plus live bands in the evenings. There’s also a pool and hot tub if you want a break from the beach

Perfect location for walking to stuff in the village

Review Date: 06/29/2019
This is a great location just steps from all the restaurants, night activities, marina, etc of Baytowne Warf. The studio is more aptly described as a hotel room, which was fine for us, as we just need a place to sleep. The one thing that would really improve this room would be getting rid of the bulky dresser and putting a long skinny dresser with enough surface area on top to have room to put stuff. The little area by the fridge is not even big enough for making sandwiches and filling up water bottles. We loved finding the door right next to the room that allowed direct acces to the garage and pool without having to walk the very long hallways. We didn’t use the shuttle bc leaving all the beach stuff in the car was easier and there is plenty of parking beachside right where the shuttle drops you off. We never left the resort for eating, as there are so many options. Really liked the free perks from Gibson and the apps. We love staying at Sandestin because we hate the Destin traffic. The resort is beautifully well kept and has so much to offer. Oh, and as others have mentioned, they definitely need more hooks for hanging stuff in the bathroom. This is a great budget friendly choice for those looking to stay at the fancy place, but not pay the fancy price!

the only downside was the parking was not reserved specifically for the condo complex.

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

Thank you so much for your review! We are glad ya'll had a blast :) Parking is always a pain in the rears (unfortunately), especially during major holiday weekends. We currently don't manage any properties that have assigned parking but are hopeful the Pilot House Association has a plan for the future with parking. We appreciate you letting us know your concerns and hope you can come visit with us again soon in the future!

The room was perfect for our needs. It has a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker - works great for a quick breakfast. Located at Baytowne- so you are convient to restaurants and low key night life without having to drive. The staff responded to any question very quickly.

The unit was exactly what we needed, it’s small but when you’re in Destin you stay inside!!
Manager Response: 08/30/2018

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

Exactly, no one comes to Destin to stay inside! We're happy the efficiency unit suited your needs and appreciate the 5-star review. Next time you visit, stay a little longer and maybe pick out a larger unit on the beach, so you can get the full effect. Be sure to mention our repeat guest discount!

The room is a just cozy enough for 2 adults and 1-2 kids. Beds are SUPER comfortable. Bathtub is super deep if you like to take a bath. The price for this room was unbeatable and the rep I spoke to was super nice. Reservation process was super easy. Their downloadable app was very helpful!! The only downsides: no table or dresser. All your bags have to sit on the ground. (Unless the other bed isn’t in use.) There is one very small closet. And there is only 2 rolls of tissue provided and 4 towels. (We had to buy more tissue), and was glad I brought a few towels from home. The other thing, is this room is at the very end of 3-4 long hallways, which is a little inconvenient...We still very much enjoyed the place and would def stay again, but probably in a different room. The amenities at Baytowne Wharf were awesome. The sights and scenery are BEAUTIFUL!!

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

Thanks for the kind words Tera! We certainly appreciate it! We're super happy y'all loved the condo, even with the small nature. We appreciate your suggestions and will be happy to share with the owner. As is customary in vacation rental units, we do provide 2 rolls of tissue to get you started until you make a market trip; slightly different than a hotel. We're glad to know, in spite of the inconveniences, y'all had a great time and we'd love to have you back again!

Overall, a good experience with 1 thing to be aware of. The first - when I originally booked the reservation in early 2018, I thought I was booking a 2 bedroom 2 bath with a small living room. In April, I went back to the site and realized when I read other reviews (that complained about misleading info about the rental) that I only rented the adjoining room, so 1 room, 1 bath. Originally I think they had a floor plan image of the entire “combined” rental, but at this point it is shaded properly to show the smaller area your actually renting. It worked out for me because it ended up only being me that stayed there, but if I there were 4 people it would have been “tight”. It looks like the info about the size of the accommodation has been updated to be more obvious about exactly what you’re getting, so hopefully this is a non-factor moving forward.
The online/app check in / check out, key access was very convenient and worked without any problems at all. Overall, as long as you know you’re getting 1 room with 2 beds and a bathroom for a pretty inexpensive rate (for Sandestin), you should be satisfied.

We're so happy to hear everything worked out for you Mike! Unfortunately we cannot guarantee how other marketing sites depict any of their listings. However, our website does have accurate information. This is why we always suggest to book direct with property management companies instead of marketing sites like vrbo. Thankfully, you had just what you needed and enjoyed your time here. Be sure to contact us directly next time you'd like to visit, we're happy to help!

Please indicate the methods by which we may contact you:
Please keep me informed via email on:
Questions and Comments:

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

  1. 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.
  2. Complete the form fully and honestly, and submit your bid. If not completed, it will not be accepted.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Your right to the vacation property cannot be assigned or re-sold. Please carefully review our occupancy guidelines as this is your responsibility.
  7. Our standard processing fee, Accidental Damage Protection Plan, and taxes will be added to the agreed upon bid submitted below. No exceptions.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Please review the policies and procedures put forth and do not make a bid unless you agree to all terms.
