overall it was very positive. Beautiful view and the property was very clean.
we had difficulty in our room getting the cable to connect to the TV. We had several people try and for 2 full days we had no TV. finally someone rerouted the system so we could watch. everyone was very helpful but a very frustrating issue.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall, but am disappointed of the challenges you described with the television. I am glad that our team was able to get this resolved for you, but can understand how frustrating it is that it wasn't resolved right away. It was our pleasure to host your stay and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

We booked this condo after staying in Beachside 2 for 4 nights. We needed to stay an extra night and this became available. It was spectacular! Very clean and up to date, and the view was fantastic! So wished we could have stayed longer and definitely will look for availability in the future. The booking staff were very accommodating in finding this for us and very pleasant to work with. I only have one complaint, and that was that a Fitbit watch I left there was never found.
We loved the restaurant, pools, and chair rental was much less expensive and crowded than at the Beachside 2.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We are so glad we were able to fit your accommodations. We did reach out to the cleaners and inspectors, unfortunately they were unable to locate the Fitbit. We certainly hope you come back to stay with us in the future!

This was our first trip to Destin, this location was perfect! Close enough to the fast paced, crowded part of Destin, but away enough to feel separate. The condo was clean (other than random objects in closets) and perfect amount of room for us, the balcony was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! The property was so clean, and well kept. We loved the two pools - having the opportunity to be separate from younger children and the bar/restaurant was fabulous. Next time we won't pack chairs - MUCH better to rent. We will be back - wonderful stay!

Beautiful Views in a great Condo! We loved the location . Close to everything! The beach was amazing . Not very crowded during Spring Break. But weather was cooler then expected.
The condo was nice and clean. Wish there were more blankets, we only had one for the pullout couch. But otherwise great place !!

We had a great stay! Everything was clean. We are big on the beach so easy access to the beach was one of our biggest needs and this place was perfect. The pool was nice with a bar/grill right there at the pool. Very close to everything you could need. Would stay again! With regard to the management company, Gibson was great and so easy to work with. I will be calling them again next time as well!

We were as a whole very pleased with our recent stay. This was our 2nd stay at this unit. We had to address a few minor issues with management but nothing large. The condo is nicely appointed and comfortable. Items I would address are -
Wallpaper in small bathroom needs repair
Shower curtain in small bathroom too long outside and too short inside
Front door sweep needs attention
Lights above vanity 9n small bathroom are inadequate
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank for your review, Guy! We hope you are satisfied with the issues you addressed with management. Our amazing Hospitality Team is addressing the Guest bathroom issues you mentioned. Thank you for letting Gibson Beach Rentals host your vacation for a second time! We love our repeat guests!

We loved the condo! African safari theme and all! Beds were comfy, furniture was nice/ new and comfy. The accommodations were perfect! stunning view from front and back doors... be careful of the wind when the back door is open. Almost chopped off my daughters finger! (front door slams shut with the wind). Had one issue with TV and they were there to help in minutes.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thanks for your glowing review of Tides 1511! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, and definitely stay tuned as the new Owners plan on making some upgrades throughout the year! We are so, so glad your daughter is safe -- always have to be careful with balcony doors and front doors being open as it creates a vacuum and something slams somewhere. Again, we are super happy to hear everyone is in one piece! Thanks for letting us take care of you guys and hope to see ya'll real soon again!

The stay at the Tides was very relaxing. The beach and pool area was not as crowded compared to other resorts we have stayed at in Destin. Price was very reasonable. My only compliant, the floors in the unit was not clean. You could tell housekeeping spot mopped the floors.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We are so glad ya'll had a great time! Tops'l Resort is a special gem bordering the Nature Preserve on the East side so we tend to see less crowds there since there aren't buildings packed in on every side. We are so sorry that the floors didn't meet your standards, and it's definitely something we take very seriously. We have a service order made to ensure they are sparkling clean for the next guest -- always let us know if anything is bothering you so we can address it immediately. We hold ourselves to a high standard and don't want a single guest disappointed! Make sure to book direct with us again next year to receive your return guest discount!

Had a great time. Condo was really nice. Spare bedroom bed was not the greatest and the living room furniture needs to be replaced. Pullout sofa was rather dirty. But overall, had a great time and would def stay again.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
John we are terribly sorry to hear this! We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of our units. We wish you had notified us right away so we could have made it right for you. We will also share your opinion of the furniture with the owners. Next time you'd like to visit, give us a call and let us help you find a unit better suited for you.

Very nice accommodations. The trip was hampered slightly by the tropical storm. But that being said, it was still a good four days. We have reservations to return in Sept 2018.

Enjoyed a great stay at the Tides at Tops'l. This condo was in an excellent location on the top floor and had a huge balcony. You can easily view the Gulf, the Bay and the spectacular sunsets all in one view. The condo itself was lovely and very much as advertised. I especially enjoyed the large master bathroom with the TV. It may benefit from a couple of places to hang your towel, but that would not prevent me from returning. Great location away from the majority of the crowds and close proximity to the nature preserve which offers a pristine beach for walking. Will definitely reserve from Gibson again!
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thanks! It really sounds like ya'll had the perfect vacation! We love the Tops'l Resort for the same quiet reasons as you. Come back next year and refer to this reservation for your return guest discount!

This rental was very clean, well kept and comfortably laid out for our family of 5 with a 13 year old daughter and 10 and 7 year old boys. The huge balcony with the gulf front view was amazing!
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
PERFECT! Thanks for leaving us a review, and we are glad ya'll found everything sparkly clean and well-maintained. Tides is a great place to stay with kids. These are some of the biggest balconies we have ever seen - we are jealous we couldn't relax with ya'll on one! Come see us again soon - you know where we are!

We really enjoyed our visit to Sandestin, and Tides 1511 was very nice. If we were to come again, we would prefer to stay on a lower level and more toward the front of the building, as the patio was very cool until mid-afternoon when the sun came around to our side of the building. The view, however, from our level was fantastic!
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
I'm so glad we had a very mild winter, know you were chilly on your balcony. Give us a call for a return visit and we can try to find a unit on the other side for you. We're glad you enjoyed your time here and look forward to your return.

My family and I loved this condo. Easy check-in as there was no check in to worry about, just a code for the door key. Received courtesy calls from Gibson Beach Rentals to make sure everything was good. View was amazing both off the balcony and from the front door. We didn't want to leave!

We really loved the location, unit and the beach. We usually stay in Sandestin Resort but was much happier this year, the beach is far less crowded than Beachside 2. The only draw back for me was no free fitness center in the building. Otherwise thoroughly enjoyed our vacation.

Fabulous, comfortable, great view, well equipped, photos on-line are exactly as the rental is, quiet, and on and on... I would definitely come back again to this rental!! I couldn't wait to get up and have my coffee on the patio each morning!! I loved walking out the door and right onto the beach!! The only thing I would change was the key pad to get in was outdated. We had to keep track of keys vs typing in a code and the door unlocking!!

Thank you for your review. We're happy that you really enjoyed your stay here and in Tides. We'll surely press to the owner to update the lock as we agree completely with it's ease-of-use.

Very nice unit with lots of room. It could use an update on the electronics as the tv's are old and the huge stereo system does not work. We had a convention next door at the Hilton and had there been an access way between the two our stay would have been a 10. Having to trek the beach or drive all the way around for meetings and socials was a pain. Appliances are fairly new and the kitchen was well stocked. Pool area and beach were very nice with good food and drinks available. Overall it was a great stay and very convenient to restaurants and stores. An easy 4 out of 5 stars!
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We are glad that you enjoyed your stay :) Thank you for your awesome feedback! We have addressed the electronics issue and we will look into upgrading. We also apologize about the trek back and forth to the Hilton. Don't forget to grab your return guest discount next time you book with us. The beach is calling your name again you again soon!

The unit and the rate both exceeded expectations. The unit could stand some updating, but for the rate, it was a great deal.

Thank you for taking the time to rate your recent vacation experience with us! We are happy to hear that the unit and rate exceeded your expectations and we are constantly working with our owners to update units to provide our guests with a truly memorable experience.

Condo was updated an overall nice, but a huge issue was the key situation. Why doesn't the unit have a keypad lock on the door for easier access? Would be hesitant to stay there if another unit with a keypad lock was available.....
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback on your recent stay with us. We use this information to discuss ratings and information with our team and our owners. We manage over 75 properties on Sandestin and Tops'l resorts and most of our owners have upgraded to the keyless entry "Kaba" locks, however, there are still a few of our units that still use a coded lock box with keys inside but your feedback will be shared with these owners so they can see this is what our guests desire and we are always striving to exceed your expectations. We look forward to seeing you again next year with your repeat guest discount of course and we have many condos available with keyless entry to choose from and perhaps the owners will change to a keyless entry before your return after receiving your feedback! Thanks again.
