We're so excited to hear how much you all loved the condo and your time on the Emerald Coast! We were more than happy to help with the A/C issue, that's what we're here for. The app has been a huge hit with our guests and love how convenient it is for all of you. Thanks so much for your review, we appreciate it. 
Wonderful unit. So nicely decorated and well stocked with everything we needed.
Property Manager Response:
That's so great to hear! We're thrilled y'all loved the condo and your time here. Thanks for sharing your awesome sunset photo. We're sure you all made memories to last a lifetime!
The only warning is that unless you enjoy VERY firm beds, this is not the place for you. The king master and both twins in the guest bedroom are very firm. We did not try the pullout in the living room. Time for mattress updates. Also, the TV's were difficult to figure out although there are instructions in the condo notebook.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Steve we are so terribly sorry to hear you didn't love the condo! Unfortunately, the hardest thing to get everyone to agree on is mattresses. Some like firm, so do not and we have not had any complaints so far. We would have been happy to swing by to show you how to operate the tv, next time give us a quick call. Our goal is for you to enjoy your vacation, worry less and relax more. Next time, let us help you choose a different unit that would better suit your needs. Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Wow! It sounds like y'all found the perfect vacation spot! We're so thrilled y'all loved the condo and your time here on the Emerald Coast. Thanks so much for your review, we appreciate it. We look forward to your next stay! Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Being on the bottom floor does have its perks even if no beach view, doesn't it? We're so excited you all had such a great time and enjoyed the proximity of the beach, pool, parking and tiki bar. Thanks for the review, we appreciate it! Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Doug we're so sorry you didn't enjoy the mattress. Unfortunately, this is the hardest item to get everyone to agree on. Some like softer, some like harder. We hope in spite of the inconvenience, you had an enjoyable stay. Next time let us help you find another unit that might better suit your needs. Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're so happy to hear y'all had a great time! Unfortunately, little critters can find their way into anyone's picnic but we were happy to serve their eviction notice ASAP. Maybe next time we can get you into a more updated unit that would fit your style a little better. We do have many to choose from and would love to help you out. Hope to have you back again! Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Norman, thanks so much for choosing Gibson Beach Rentals! We are glad to hear ya'll had a good time at the beach. We apologize greatly that you had an issue with the remotes - we would have been more than happy to come help you work them had we known you had any problems. Next time give us a quick ring or fill out an app form so we know to come help you out! Beach Manor 110 is a ground-floor unit with very slight beach views and we do take the photos on our site to mirror exactly what you will see when you walk into the condo; we are so sorry to hear that the view may have been different than something you anticipated. Always give us a call, and we can help clarify any of those important beach vacation questions you may have! We hope your family can come join us again in the future. We'd love to take care of you and add in your repeat renter discount that you earned this trip to help save you some money on your next beach vacation! The amenities where plenty. To park the car in the adjoining free parking garage was a plus We made use of the B-B-Q grill and ate at Carrabba’s Italian Grill nearby. Groceries we picked up at nearby Winn-Dixie.
Would definitely come back to this condo.

LOVED the house! LOVED the rental company! Everything was very smooth! Note that if you have a luggage rack on your SUV you’ll have to take it off in order to park in the parking garage but the bottom level and so close to the beach was wonderful! We even had some tropical storm weather and it was still a perfect stay! Kitchen is stocked with cookware and I loved the double oven! Perfect trip! Thank you for having us! We will be back!

Please come see us again next year, and we promise to take just as good of care of you guys (if not better!) See you real soon :) Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Sounds like y'all found a super home-away-from-home! We couldn't be more happy! Thanks for the fabulous review, we appreciate it and can't wait to have y'all come back again for another exciting family vacation. Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
That's wonderful! Thanks so much for the great review. We're so thrilled you loved the condo and your vacation. We'd love to have you back again soon! The ordinance passed in county that limits where you are allowed to set up on the beach verse the beach rental companies is troublesome. We were asked to move our umbrella and chairs to the far corner of the beach after being at beach early in morning when no one is there. There probably needs to be information in advance that this is the new method at Topsl.
Property Manager Response:
Jeff we are sorry to hear this. The rules and regulations of the resort are not the same as the ordinance set out by the county. The beach services company that sets up rental chairs/umbrellas at the water's edge is a resort company following resort rules. We totally agree with you though, if a guest wants to set up their chairs in a certain spot, they shouldn't be asked to move to make way for rentals. Unfortunately, we too have no control over the resort rules for this. We hope, in spite of this, you all still had a great time and enjoyed the condo and your vacation. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.
everything was great! the location, the cleanlines, and all the extras you get with the unit. There was enough room for our 2 kids and us in the unit. We will definitely be returning to this unit next summer. The only negative was may need a new mattress in the master bedroom.
Property Manager Response:
We're so happy y'all loved the condo and your time spent on the Emerald Coast. We're sorry about your not being comfortable in the master bed. We haven't had any complaints at all since the unit came on our program in June. Unfortunately, getting everyone to agree on a mattress is the hardest thing I think we've come across. Some like soft, some like hard, everyone has their own opinion of what's really comfortable. We hope in spite of this, you all were able to make memories to last a lifetime and look forward to having you back again.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Yay!! We are thrilled y'all loved Beach Manor 211 and your time spent on the Emerald Coast! Thanks for the wonderful review, we appreciate it and hope to have you back again. Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Yay!! We are so excited you all love the amenities and activities! It's truly our pleasure to be able to offer them to our guests. Thanks for being a repeat guest, we appreciate you! we stayed in 0211. everything was great, except we only had one hair dryer. the unit was very clean and we loved the activities which allowed one free golf per day.
Property Manager Response:
We're so happy y'all enjoyed your time here on the Emerald Coast! We only place one hair dryer in each unit due to having two usually trips the breakers and causes power issues. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for your review, we appreciate it.
Gibson rentals also offers discounted family or personal things to do. It will come thru on the app. Any day paid for includes this benefit.
Check in and check out procedures are so simple and easy. Be courteous to the next renter and let them know you’re leaving and at what time. Then it may help the next renter get their room early.
The condo is really at the best location on the resort.
Hope to get it for next year!

This was our third visit at Beach Manor 212 and it was just as amazing as last year! The owners have done an outstanding job making their condo feel like “home” to guests. The kitchen is stocked with everything you may need for a night in of cooking or to make breakfast. The living area is super cozy and the king size bed in the master bed room is so comfortable! We look forward to returning in the years to come and making more memories with our family. Thank you, J & T for another wonderful stay in your beautiful condo!
