My family of 8 adults and 2 children had a great time at Tides 204-205 Lockout. The setup was perfect for everyone and the resort amenities were good. Although we did not have the perfect weather for our week long stay, we were still able to enjoy the beach and pool area and the location was good for enjoying local restaurants.

We loved the views and the place was very clean! Pools could have been a little warmer and were not the cleanest. Location was good! Not many places to walk to but we loved to overlook the ocean:). Customer service was all really good through the Gibson rental, they got us and early rental and were really good about answering questions prior to our arrival.

This was our first time to take a family vacation like this. We very much enjoyed our stay. Great location, rooms were clean and felt very safe in our location. I would definitely choose to come back and stay in the same units.

Love Gibson Rentals! They are so easy to work with. I love that they allow you to check in early if the rental is ready! You don’t even have to ask, they just text you when the unit is ready! Tides is right on the beach and close to everything that we like to eat!

The second floor and entered view over the pools and beach. Very nice staff and clean. My son says it’s the most fabulous beach and stay EVER! When the disposer stopped working someone was there to fix within one hour.

All was good but internet connection. I placed a service call on the morning after we got there and no one ever came to fix the modem. We had to use hot spots from our phone all week. That was very inconvenient.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with us, but are disappointed with the challenges you described regarding the internet connection. We strive to quickly resolve any issues you encounter during your stay, but it is clear that in this case, we fell short. Should you choose to stay with us again we would love the opportunity to give you the experience that so many of our guests have grown so fond of.

Nice and spacious condo. Furniture needs to be updated. We were told that the complex was going to be doing construction 3 days of our stay, but it was actually 5 days of loud construction noises. Pool bar and grill was great considering there really isn’t any where else to eat along the beach.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for taking a moment to leave us your feedback. Firstly, I would like to apologize for the construction noise you encountered. While Gibson Beach Rentals does not manage the unit undergoing renovations, we wanted to keep you updated with the information that was given to us. We are happy that you enjoyed the pool bar and grill, and will use your feedback to better our guest experience. We would love to welcome you back again soon!

We rented both units and it worked better than I thought. 2 kitchens and 2 dens give you the freedom to do something different while still being in the same space. The four bedrooms and four bathrooms work great with no inconvenience. The location on the gulf is close to everything while being the last resort on the beach. You just dont feel crowded and that is rare in destin.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for this amazing review Tim. We are so pleased to read that the Lockout option worked perfectly for you and your family. It seems the extra space, layout and the units' close proximity to both the pools and beach assisted in making your stay great! We truly hope to have you and your family stay with us again soon on the beautiful Emerald Coast!

Overall we enjoyed the property, nothing elaborate but exactly what we needed. The lockout deal is very nice as we had babies in our party so we put the families with babies over there as it made it easier for the naps and such. Our only issue is the beach and how they have it set up. Basically Tides has contracted with a company to sale you chairs for the day or if you have your own stuff you have to go approximately 250 yards to a small area on the left or stay behind they myriad of chairs. When you have children in tow and the sand is blazing hot this is a true pain. Because of this I wouldn't stay here again although we loved the condo and the pools and having the bar area and restaurant right there was also very nice.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased to read that you loved the units. We apologize regarding the beach vendor issues that Tops'l resort provides. Unfortunately we cannot control how the beach vendors organize their business. We hope these issues did not deter you from having a wonderful stay. Next time we'd be happy to assist in picking a unit that better suits you and your family's needs.

We stayed at Tides 204-205 for a quick getaway. We had a great time. The property is as described. There was plenty of room for everyone. Views were beautiful and access to beach and pool were convenient. Suggestions- Rent umbrella/ chair upon arrival so you are ready to go the next morning and don't have to wait in line. Unit needs a new coffee maker! :) Gibson Beach Rentals was great!!!
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review Jennifer. We are so happy you and your family enjoyed the unit and the beautiful views! We're sorry the beach vendor was a hassle to deal with. Its great that next time you stay with us you can reserve them straight away! We appreciate your feedback regarding the coffee pot and will pass the information onto the appropriate parties. Its feedback like yours that helps us make improvements for our guests! We truly hope to have you and your family stay with us again soon on the gorgeous Emerald Coast!

Units 204 and 205 housed a group of 14 women and children for us on a family trip. While we originally wanted a house on the beach, this setup proved to be just what we needed. We had plenty of space, and lots of amenities. These units were steps from the elevator and also had a great view of the ocean and pool. The on-site grill, bar, and pools were a great option for staying on the property. Off of the property, we were surrounded by close restaurants and shopping.

My family loved, loved the two units that are connected at Tides in the Tops’l Resort. We have stayed in many different places along the beach but this was perfect for our family. It gave everyone a little privacy but also allowed us to stay together easily with grandkids.

The rental was exacltly what we wanted for our vacation, with the number of guests we had for this visit. The condo was spacious and clean, with the beach in very close proximity to our unit. Also, the location was ideal to local restaurants and shops along HWY 98 and 30A. We would rent this again.

Great experience staying at the Tides Lockout property. Everything ran very smoothly from check-in to check-out. The condo was clean, well-stocked, and in a great location. Gibson Beach Rentals was also great to work with- questions were always answered in a timely manner- and the app you use to check-in was great! We can't wait to come back!
