We asked for and got a great view 8th floor condo and fairly easy access during pool hours to the beach. Nice complex and minutes to excellent restaurants...very pleased!

We stayed in this unit for a family vacation. The views from the balcony were amazing! There was plenty of seating inside and out. The beds were comfortable. One of the bathrooms has been renovated and is really nice! The kitchen, while a little dated, was more than sufficient for a week of family beach fun. Loved this place!

We rented 2 units 901 was perfect in all ways. Furnishings, renovation work was great, location was great, household appliances were all excellent, and cooking utensils were all new. 2nd stay was in 804. Unit is tired. Needs remodeling and furniture update. Appliances and cooking utensils are out of date and need to be replaced. The stars rating is for unit 804.

Rental was clean and had everything we needed. The view was beautiful and the facilities were great. My boys got a lot of use out of the basketball and pickleball and it was nice that the equipment was provided amd in good shape. The only issue we had was that by renting from Gibson, we were not allowed to use the fitness center (they said other rental companies had this available to them). Overall we had a fantastic trip!

Kitchen faucet was loose and there were no keys to the lock box.

Spent two months at The Tides in Condo 804. Condo was perfect for our stay. Had all the things we needed to make the place our home for the time. Staff were very responsive if we had questions, needed help or something fixed. Great location to stores and State Parks for walking/biking trails. Complex also had great walking. Best part was the view - it can't be beat. Amenities - mini golf, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard are all there to enjoy. Open your eyes in the morning and you are looking at the ocean and the sand.

From the time of booking until the time I left everything went very smooth. The condo was great and had everything we needed The view and easy access to the pool and beach area was great. The bedroom with the bunk bed really needs a ceiling fan or a box fan because that room was hot compared to the other rooms in the condo. Highly recommend this condo and Gibson Rentals.

Traveled with my young family for a 1-week stay. The room was incredibly clean and the view was incredible. My kids loved the heated pool and it was nice having the bar & grill on the pool deck. Location was tucked away off main road which made it feel more secluded. Quiet resort. Beach was great. We would stay again for sure. Only a few issues and not major.....1) Not a lot of staff on site and no visible management should an issue had arised. 2) Amenities (mini golf and shuffle board) were below average.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We are so happy y'all had such a great trip! Even more happy that your stay was 5 STARS. The heated pool and bar & grill are always a favorite amongst guests. The resort you stayed on is more hands off, which is why our staff is available at all hours. We will pass on your feelings for the mini-golf and shuffle boards to the resort maintenance We can't wait to have you back! With over 100 units, I am sure you will find the perfect unit to add your returning guest discount to!

We had a great time with our three children. The location was great in that it boarders an undeveloped area keeping the beach less crowded. It is also located across the street from Baytown warf. The condo was just as expected. It would have been nice to have some sort of pantry or shelves for groceries but it was nice that all of the cabinets were stocked with plates, cups, bowls, etc... overall the view was great and we had a wonderful time.

Very well maintained property from the grounds to the pool areas leading out to the beach. The room was well taken care of and met our needs perfectly as a family of 5. The location was better than expected as the Tides building was the next to last high rise on the beach before the area turned into beach front homes. This made the area seem more secluded than other ocean front properties I've stayed in. Plenty of room on the beach to spread out and not feel like you were sitting right on top of other guests. This could have been the time of year....but it was still a plus.

The tile floor all over the whole unit was slippery so would have loved some more floor mats around the place.

Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We are so glad you enjoyed the condo! It is the perfect location and provides some of the most gorgeous views along our coasts. We are quite surprised that you were dissatisfied with the twin mattresses as those are brand spankin' new (less than 2 months old). The Owner specifically bought nice, plush foam mattresses to try to provide maximum comfort for his guests and also just replaced all the spreads in teh guest room! We certainly appreciate your feedback and hope to have you down again soon!

We enjoyed our stay! Loved the location of the unit and love that they have bunk beds and a double bed in the second bedroom. I brought mine in case, but it was nice that there was a hair dryer on the wall in the master and little shampoo and conditioner bottles. Made it feel more like a hotel that a vacation rental which can be sparse on extras like that.

We just came home from a week long stay at tides 804. We were very happy with the condo. 4 adults and 3 kids fit very comfortably.The view is amazing! The condo description was very spot on! We definitly plan on returning in the future! I had called ahead a few times and the Gibson beach rental staff were extremely nice and accommodating about my questions and helped provide me with a company to rent a full sized crib and beach stroller for my 5 month old. My only suggestion for the resort itself would be to have a ramp to get to the beach. Having to carry a stroller through several sets of stairs was a little bit of an inconvenience.

We were looking for an ocean view condo with access to the beach, a pool and a basketball hoop (for our 3 boys) and we found the perfect spot!!! We loved the unit - the perfect size for our family of 5, with the bunks AND a double bed in the kids' room, and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony and even cooked a few meals in the fully equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the simple access to the pools, hot tub, and beach, and the boys loved playing basketball, tennis and mini golf every day! And how convenient to have toys to borrow from the office - available to all! Having a private covered parking spot was a bonus, too! It kept our van out of the hot summer sun! The views and beach were gorgeous, the amenities were great, we enjoyed the staff at the beach, pool and the grill! We had a great vacation! We would definitely come back!

The location on the beach for this condo is excellent. The property to the west is homes & then a nature preserve. For Spring Break week we did not have a problem getting a spot on the water each day. The condo was nice and pretty much exactly as it was described. The one shortcoming was the fact that other than pots and pans the condo comes with absolutely nothing. In the past when we have rented condos they at least have cleaning products and some left over spices. We would love to come back and next time I will just bring a few more supplies.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're glad you enjoyed your stay with us here in Sandestin and that the Spring Break crowd didn't keep you from a nice spot on the shoreline! Just for future reference, we do not keep cleaning products inside our units as it is a chemical hazard that we would like to prevent. We also do not keep any food items inside the unit to keep away bugs. If you book again with us next time, let us know so, we can give you our 5% Repeat Guest Discount!

The moment I walked into the unit it just seemed to scream relaxation. Incredibly clean! Very convenient with the local malls, restaurants and other San Destin attractions. Incredible ocean front view. The gentle roar of the ocean was very relaxing. The occasional Dolphin siting was nice. An added bonus which we didn't know was that the owner had a few chairs and umbrella for us to use, nice touch! Internet signal was great (for days I had to work)
