Overall Rating:






We absolutely loved it! It’s been tastefully decorated with light costal colors. Loved the fully equipped kitchen, nice touch to have hairdryers in each bathroom, and beach items in the secondary closet. We will be back to 1102 again ❤️






Everything was amazing. Condo was super clean and comfortable. Loved that we were able to walk down the beach to the other resorts and use their restaurants and bars. this is now our go to Destin vacation rental.
Property Manager Response:
Hi Jose,
Thank you for the awesome review. We love the picture you took from your unit so much that we had to post it on our facebook page! Thank you for booking with Gibson Beach Rentals and we hope to see you again soon!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Hi Tobi! Thank you for the review and we do apologize for the repair work being done by the Tides Association. Thank you for booking with Gibson Beach Rentals and we hope to see you again soon!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We aim to please, and are just delighted that you had a 5 STAR stay! Couldn't ask for a better review from a better group of guests. We strive for all our guest to have a great experience just like y'all. We can't wait to have you back. Don't forget about your returning guest discount!!! You get it for life now.




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
That's so great to hear! We're thrilled y'all loved your time here. Thanks for the 5-star review, we appreciate it! Be sure to mention our repeat guest discount on your next visit.




The only complaint we had was with the top bunk bed. It was extremely squeaky and loud. Every time my child made the slightest move on the top bunk it would creak loudly and made it difficult for the more light sleepers in the room. Other than that, we were happy with everything else. We would definitely stay at Tides 1102 again.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
What wonderful news! We're thrilled y'all loved Tides 1102 and your time here. We certainly wish you would have notified us about the bunk bed, we would have been happy to send someone out right away to help with the noise. Since your review, we have taken care of it. We appreciate your honest review and always strive to make our guests stay as great as we can. We would love to have you back again in the future. Be sure to mention our repeat guest discount on your next visit!




Since our goal was to get as much beach time in as possible, we "splurged" and rented the beach chairs & umbrella from Tops'l beach services...very well worth it! All we had to do was walk down to beach and plop ourselves down. The water was beautiful and that sugary white sand was incredible!
In addition to the condo, beach, and great seafood, we were waaaay impressed with Gibson's customer service and attention to detail. We downloaded the app and Gibson kept us informed with up-to-date info on the trip, services, activities, etc. Everyone of the staff we met were very friendly and helpful!
This was definitely one of the best beach vacations we've had (and we've had plenty)! Thanks for a great experience! We'll be back!
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
That's absolutely amazing! You're making me want to escape to Tides 1102 as well. We're so thrilled y'all loved the condo, your time here and we're more than happy to be of service... that's what we're here for. Your excellent review is amazing and wonderfully descriptive. I'm sure this will really help other future guests, thanks so much! We'd definitely love to have you all back again soon, be sure to mention our repeat guest discount on your next visit.



Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Yay!! Thanks for the kind words Jennifer. We're so happy you like the condo. We hope to have you visit again.




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
That's fabulous! We're so thrilled y'all enjoyed your time here. Hope to have you back again soon!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Let's just say we're lifelong friends now! We love having you and are thrilled you enjoyed your well-deserved vacation. Can't wait to have you back again!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
It sounds like you all really enjoyed the condo and your time here, we're so excited! We apologize there was no glass cleaner; the amenities we provide to get you started doesn't include that but would be worth a suggestion. Thanks for your review, we appreciate it!




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Comfort is 'King' in our book and we're so happy you found a special comfortable place to relax and enjoy the beach! Thank you for the wonderful review, we appreciate it. Come back & visit us again soon!




On a side note, do not leave nice shoes where people keep them going out to the beach as my new birkenstocks were stollen.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Oh no! We're sorry someone took advantage of you, that's just not right. However, we are so excited to hear how much you loved the condo and your time here! We can't wait for you to join us again real soon.



Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're sorry for the inconveniences you experienced Debbie. We provide beach chairs and an umbrella for our guests to use at the beach to hopefully avoid the lines and added cost of Beach Services; which is separate entity in itself. We would have been happy to bring you extra towels during your stay. Hopefully the good outweighed the not-so-good and you enjoyed your time on the Emerald Coast. We appreciate you choosing Gibson Beach Rentals!



Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Ms. Crousillac we have 2 chairs and an umbrella in each of our units for your use on the beach. We certainly hope you took advantage of that perk. We truly hope you enjoyed your time here on the Emerald Coast.





The condo was precious! It was a very nice place to stay! The only complaint I have is having to hike down the beach to set up chairs and umbrella early in the morning. It would be great if two chairs and umbrella from the hotel were included in the room.

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're so happy you enjoyed your stay and the unit! I wish the bed had been more to your liking. I've got great news though, we've got many more units you can try out one at a time. Haha! But seriously, thanks for the review, we appreciate it. Hope to have you back soon!





We loved it here! We didn't want to leave! The best view! Wonderful place, we will visit again!
Property Manager Response:
That's music to our ears!! We're so excited you all had such a wonderful time on the Emerald Coast! We can't wait to have you return soon.





Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Wow! Talk about a LOYAL guest - we love having you all return to visit, year after year! We appreciate your kind words and 5 star review. Wishing you all a fantastic summer.




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're so happy you enjoyed your stay with us! I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the bed. We recently had a guest love it so much they asked for the brand name so they could get one themselves. We understand though that everyone's sense of a perfect bed is different.




The only minor issue was the kitchen faucet needs replacing and a track in the dishwasher needs to be fixed/replaced.
Everyone agreed this was one of our best vacations ever, and everyone was sad to leave.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Gary the beach misses the Haley family! Hurry back to see us soon! Thanks for your kind words, we appreciate an honest review. We will definitely look into the faucet and dishwasher and make any necessary repairs ASAP.




Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
The arctic blast is gone, the weather is perfect! Come back and see us soon! We're so happy you all enjoyed your time on the beautiful Emerald Coast.





We loved staying here! Decorated well and very clean with beautiful view!! Will definitely book again

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.
