Gibson Beach Rentals I Reviews & Testimonials
We loved this condo unit. We especially liked the large picture window which lets in so much light into the unit. Made it seem bigger. It’s an end unit on the 3rd floor. Felt very private. We have stayed in Baytowne Wharf many times. This was out second time in the Bahia, but the first time In this particular unit. We hope to visit it again. We like being able to walk around in Baytowne and being able to walk to places to eat without having to take our car.

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.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank ya'll so so much! We love this ground floor condo and your review paints the perfect picture of what guests can expect when they come to visit us at Beach Manor. Your family was a joy to host, and we can't wait for your speedy return! Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
How awesome! We're so happy you loved the condo and hope to have you back again next year!
Overall we had a fantastic time. We booked this condo first and our parents booked another one in the building on the 3rd floor. Having access to the ground floor to head to the beach was a must with a 6 year old. The condo has beach toys in the closet and chairs which is really nice. We would walk from the patio to the beach everyday and then head to the pool. It’s easy access. The bed in the master is a little mushy so if you like a soft bed, it’ll be perfect for you. My hubby and I like a firmer bed so we fought to get in the middle of the bed. Lol On the one cloudy day we had, we all went shopping. The condo is located close to Greta shopping, Publix is up the street and so is the fresh seafood!! We will definitely come back and hope to book the same condo.
Property Manager Response:
We are so glad you had a wonderful vacation! Beach Manor is a great location- right on the beach, outlet shopping, and grocery stores near by! You don't even have to travel for for great restaurants! Don't forget to use our REPEAT guest discount when you book your next vacation!

Thank you so much for your review Valencia. We are so happy you and your family had such a wonderful experience! This is exactly what we at Gibson Beach Rentals strive for every single day! We truly hope to have you stay with us again soon on the gorgeous Emerald Coast! 
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!

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!
