This is a corner unit that has good view of the ocean and the pool below. Liked the update to the main living area but the bathroom could use an update as well. Everything worked as it should which is nice. Especially like that there was an Alexa in the room, which was a nice touch. Internet speeds were good and the only problem was the info received about the wifi conflicted. However a phone call was all that was needed to get that fixed. The bathroom had a loose baseboard. As with all other units that we stayed at, this adjacent room's noise can be easily heard thru the connecting door.
The building itself could use an update though. We've been to this building many times and every time, the elevators are grimy. On our arrival the elevator call button was loose but at least it was fixed the next day. There is no cleaning done on the elevator or the luggage carts. At least there is always luggage carts, which I appreciate. Just wish that the elevator and elevator areas were cleaned on a regular basis.

This unit was too small for us. It was really a hotel room. The location and price was great. When we had problems with the WiFi, they came right over. We will definitely try this property again.

I was absolutely blown away with our stay! The rental was absolutely gorgeous! The property is beautiful; filled with Scenery, a nice pool, and white sandy beach! I love the pool located closer to the beach that includes a bar! The room was very clean and the location was perfect! We will certainly rent with you guys again!

When we first arrived at the Condo it was very late in the evening. The guard was very helpful in directing us to our room. The room was clean and well kept. The view for not being beach front was great. We could still see the ocean from our room. If there was anything I would say would be to maybe add a fan in the closet. Many people sleep with a fan and we had wished there was one. The beach is only a short walk, however there are shuttles that will take you too and from if you aren't up for the .5 mile walk. We found out that Michael Jordan had a penthouse in the same unit as us and that made it kinda cool. I would stay here again if I weren't staying long. (there's no stove to do any cooking) It was just my husband and I so it was perfect!

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’ve never been to the Destin area, so we were a little hesitant when booking a place to stay. We settled on Tops’l resort and were SO glad we did! The room was on the 4th floor, making for a perfect view of the pool and the ocean! The room was just a short 5 minute walk to the ocean. It was so nice to have beach chairs and an umbrella with the room; it made our beach days so easy! The resort was gated and a friendly security guard oversaw all of the incoming and outgoing traffic to the neighborhood. The building itself was clean and had an easy access. The room was clean and updated. The resort is 30 minutes from beautiful seaside beach, and was not far from Henderson beach and other fun restaurants. We will definitely come stay again!

We enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean and the balcony gave us the best view! Also, the staff was very helpful. When we were coming the first day, we were told that the jacuzzi wasn’t working in our room. This was disappointing, as we selected that room specifically so we could use that jacuzzi. Maintenance came in to fix it and said three of the jets needed to be expensive deal. Two days later two repair guys came in to look at it and asked if maintenance ever filled the jacuzzi? We didn’t know, so they filled it and it worked! So, we lost 4 days of jacuzzi usage and it was never broken. That part was disappointing. Otherwise it was great!

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.

Tops’l Resort is first class. The fitness center is the best I have ever seen in my travels across the country. Also we really enjoyed the benefits of the Explore program offered through Gibson rentals.
