We are so glad to hear you had a great stay. The Gibson team can't wait to have you back in the future!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We LOVE your review, Nikki! And we couldn't agree more!! The Tops'l Resort is so scenic, you get the best of two worlds, a nature preserve and the beach! We can't wait til you come back, and make sure you have a drink for us!



Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for you review Lindsay. We're so pleased to read that you enjoyed the clean unit, the beautiful views it provided as well as the exclusivity it provided being away from the major hustle and bustle in the area. We apologize regarding the noise inconveniences from the neighbors. That can unfortunately happen being a studio unit. We checked our records and see no notifications regarding the issues. Next time, do not hesitate to contact us for a broom or with any questions/concerns you may have and we will always assist to the absolute best of our ability. We truly hope the minor inconveniences did not deter you from having a much deserved vacation getaway.




Excellent staff do it now, very nice accommodations, would strongly recommend, beautiful beach
Property Manager Response:
Thank you for your kind review Rick! We are so happy you enjoyed the beach and that we were able to assist in all your needs. We hope to have you back with us soon on the Emerald Coast!






My husband and I normally cruise this time of year for our anniversary and my birthday. Due to the pandemic, we had to quickly chose something different. This was the best decision we could have made. Had a blast and enjoyed the accommodations. Looking forward to planning our next trip here in the near future. Found our home away spot! The room was perfect for just the two of us.
Property Manager Response:
Hi Anita,
We am so glad we could help turn a unfortunate situation into a better one. This Pandemic has been crazy for everyone, at least you could make the best of it. We can't wait to have you back!



Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Hi. Thomas! We hate to hear that the bathtub and shower were not cleaned to your satisfaction! If you are ever not satisfied, we would really like the opportunity to make you happy. We set very high standards, and are sadly disappointed when we hear they are not met.




The room was awesome! It only fit for a couple but big enough for the both. Your not directly on the beach but can see the beach from Balcony. The walk to the beach is only about 150 feet if that so it’s not bad. Room was very clean and the bed is very comfy! I will definitely be back soon.
Property Manager Response:
Hi Shangelica,
Thank you for the awesome review! We're happy that you and your family have a wonderful time at the Summit. Thank you for booking with Gibson Beach Rentals and we hope to see you again soon!





Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Hi James, thank you for the feedback. We hope you enjoyed your stay and we would have been more than happy to bring you additional towels for a fee. We always have in our contracts under starter kit / supplies the number of items we supply in each unit. Thank you for staying with Gibson Beach Rentals and we're looking forward to seeing you again soon!




The location in proximity to the beach was excellent and made our beach vacation enjoyable. Summit 409A overall was nice however the vanity in the restroom could use updating! Our entire week was very nice until the last night when some very noisy neighbors arrived in 409 next door. Sounded like they were in the room with us. Would have been nice if the unit had a comfortable couch or lounge chair. Overall very nice property and a good stay. Would come back but would prefer a different unit in the future!
Property Manager Response:
We are delighted that you enjoyed your vacation and it is so nice to hear that beautiful Tops'l Resort's location was so perfect for you! Thank you for the feedback regarding the vanity and furnishings. We will be sure to pass your feedback and recommendations on to the owner. Were sorry you were inconvenienced by your loud neighbors on the last night of your stay but are glad that you enjoyed your vacation overall! Please ask for a repeat guest discount on you next visit and let us know what we can do to meet your needs better on your next visit. Thank you for your feedback!





My husband and I enjoyed our stay, the place was everything and more than we expected, we will definitely return. Thank you for your services.
Property Manager Response:
We absolutely love hearing that! Thanks so much for your review, we appreciate it and are so happy y'all enjoyed yours stay. Can't wait to have you visit again, be sure to mention our repeat guest discount!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Hi, Crystal! Thanks for such a fantastic review - we are so glad ya'll had a good time! Summit 409A is a hotel-style studio, but you can actually also rent the adjoining unit, 409, a 2 bed/2 bath or even both to make a 3 bed/3 bath! That's pretty cool about Michael Jordan - we didn't even know that! We love these Summit properties as they are so close to the beach as you mentioned without having to pay beachfront prices. They work out great for so many guests! Come see us again soon and let us take care of you - don't forget to mention you rented with us before so we can add in your repeat renter discount!



We love the TOPS’L Resort and had a nice stay at Unit 409A. I would definitely recommend a new mattress for the Unit - is is very hard. And new pillows. They were completely flat.
Property Manager Response:
Thanks so much for your honest review, we do appreciate it and will be happy to share your thoughts with the owner. Pillow replacement is quick and easy & taken care of. We are so happy you had such a great time! We hope to have you back for another visit!





Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Tyler thank you so much for the amazing review! We are so happy that ya'll had a good time and that everything was perfect! We can't wait for ya'll to come back down and make sure to mention you have booked with Gibson before so we can apply a discount on all future rentals with us!



Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you so much Bruce for staying in our SUMMIT 409A unit. We are so sorry that there was an issue. We did some research and found that the jacuzzi was not working properly till the 20th (so halfway through your stay, you wouldn't not have been able to use till after the repair). We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused as this is not our intention. We will work harder in the future to provide our guest with property conditions and ensure our communication is top-notch. Please keep in mind, if you decide to stay with us again, we do offer a guest returning discount. Feel free to also call to make a reservation if you want a unit that has something specific so we can try harder to better accommodate your needs.




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We are so glad you had a great time on your vacation!! Thank you for the great review!! We hope you will book with us again and take advantage of the repeat customer discount!!



Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.

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.
