Overall great experience. Spacious 2 bedroom, beautiful kitchen, balcony and views. Comfortable beds and couches. Quick and easy beach and pool access. Golf cart that brings you to the beach. Only complaint is that the freezer did not get cold enough to freeze so ice cream was ruined.

Gibson was very easy to work with from start to finish. I emailed them a couple of days in advance and requested an early check-in. There was a reservation prior to ours so it was unlikely, although they would try. We arrived in town very early that morning and check-in wasn't until 4pm. I received a text around 2pm notifying us that we could check-in early, which was great news considering we were entertaining a 3 year old and two teenagers in the meantime. I texted Gibson a couple of times during our stay with different requests and they were extremely responsive and helpful. Very easy to work with!

Stayed in March w/ family of 5. Check-in easy and stay was great. Location and view were perfect. Centrally located to wharf and not far drive to downtown Destin for evening out. Only complaint would wish more amenities were available to those residing in Summit vs those available to Tides / Beach Manor. But, definately would book another stay here while in Destin!

We loved our stay at Tops’l Summit 812. It was very clean, well furnished and kitchen fully stocked. The grounds were kept immaculately well. I have been coming to Destin my entire life and this was the best experience yet. Multiple pools, pristine beach, close to outlets and shopping. The perfect pick for any trip!

Hi, Emily. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

Overall, a nice rental. Close enough walk to the beach without too much hassle. A few things worth mentioning: this rental didn’t have chairs to take down to the beach although the umbrella was there. Tub in the master bath doesn’t drain well at all. Fan in master bedroom needs repaired as it squeaked all night no matter the setting. Fridge door doesn’t have a stopper on it so nothing keeps it from slamming back against the laundry doors. Other than that, clean property. Would recommend keeping a few more trash bags on site for guests to dispose of trash.

We just returned from staying at the Summit. The grounds are well maintained and the unit was updated and clean. The unit was spacious enough for our family if 3. The only issue we had was the bathtub not draining properly. I would definitely stay again though.

I had 2 questions and called before checking in. I received prompt responses from people who knew the area and the resort. This is important to me as I had called a couple of t other management companies before booking and one never answered and the other didn’t know the answer to my question and didn’t return my call as they had promised.

We loved the Summit! We got moved to this condo just a few days before our arrival and I was a little hesitant since it wasn't directly on the beach. However, it was an easy walk to the beach (.25 mile) along a sidewalk to the boardwalk. The pool was heated as well. The location is ideal because it's at the end of the busy beaches so you could walk a mile or two east without the other high rise units and big crowds. The unit was nicely decorated and had just what we needed. Beds were comfortable. Nice view from the balcony. Having king beds in both rooms was nice as well. The entire process from booking the rental, checking in and the communication was fantastic. We will definitely be staying here again.

Hi, Susan. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
