We have stayed in several Beachside Two units and this one was among the best.,I can't say enough about the Gibson staff. We had this trip scheduled and a family emergency occurred just days before we were to arrive. Gibson was gracious enough to allow us to reschedule, which very few, if any other management groups would do. So thankful for working with us through a difficult life event. Great job Gibson!!

This condo was nice and clean. The beds were very comfortable. Love the location and the view! Easy access to the beach, and right by the Beach House restaurant and a fun little drink stand. My only 2 complaints are that the guest shower head was somewhat broken and made that shower unusable, and it didn’t appear it had just happened, and when you run the dryer it smells like something is on fire. It also stated that beach umbrella and chairs were included and the description should have been that they are available within the unit for you to use, not the beach set up professionally provided - as that was unclear.

The unit was great for a quick getaway with our family. It would have been nice to know that there was construction going on around the property and that the umbrella and chairs with the rental are stored in the unit, not those provided with rentals from other properties that are setup on the beach for you. We did like the unit though as the A/C worked great in the heat and it has a wonderful view. Some minor touch ups or repairs in the unit are needed, but nothing that interfered with our great trip. We'd rent and recommend this again.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback. Communication is important to us, and we strive to inform our guests of any construction going on during your stay. We are working closely with the homeowner's association so that we may receive updates whenever an owner is doing renovations nearby, so that we may make our guests aware. I am disappointed to hear that you were not informed of construction and will reach out to the HOA to share this feedback. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with us, and want to thank you for sharing your experience!

I enjoyed staying at this condo. My family and I had plenty of space and the views were perfect. My kids enjoyed waking up and sitting on the balcony every morning. Location was perfect as we were right next to the elevator. Very quiet. The pool was never over crowded and the beach access was simple and convenient. I look forward to renting again next year.
Easy access to property and condo. Beautiful property and plenty to do. There was some maintenance going on in front lobby but it was not an issue.

I Loved our condo. beachside 2!! Perfect location. Didn't even need to rent a car. Took a shuttle from Ft. Walton Destin Airport and planted our feet in Sandestin Miramar beach the entire week. Had groceries delivered, used the shuttle to go to Baytown mall with restaurants and stores. The beach was most beautiful and people so nice!! Definitely coming back. So relaxing better than expected. Very accommodating!!

I was very pleased with Gipson Rentals communications. Checkin and Check out was very easy as everything is on an app. The condo is outdated but there was plenty of room, beautiful view, and clean. The essential kitchen tools and linen were appropriate.

The condo was nice and clean. The entry codes make it easy to check in and move about without having to worry about keys. We will def consider renting this unit again or with this company. However I doubt we will go again in late July/early August. Beaches were ridiculously crowded and people were testy. We usually only go in October or stay in a house with private beach. this was a last minute get-away before our oldest went off to college.

The location of Beachside II 4295 is outstanding. Each morning we watched dolphins swim by in the crystal clear water from our balcony. The condo was clean and some updating had taken place. The couches and bedding had been replaced. However, the bathrooms and kitchen appliances were dated, but in good working order.The beach chairs provided by condo were in poor condition. One completely broke while we were there. I turned it in to the office, but did not get a replacement. That is not a deal breaker, but if you state beach chairs are provided, they should be in decent condition. That being said, it would not keep me from renting this condo again.
The staff was easy to work with, and responded to my questions in a timely manner.
for a two bedroom condo, 4295 was very roomy. I would stay here in the future.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you Phyllis for booking with us and staying in unit 4295 at Beachside II. We are so sorry that your trip had a few issues, and continue to strive to have those glowing all 5-star reviews; we apologize for any inconvenience with the beach chair - we actually keep a couple extra in our upstairs storage unit so we may have misunderstood your need to bring a new one ASAP; it has been replaced since to provide the 2 the unit are guaranteed to come with. We hope in the future, if you decided to give us a change to wow you, we are able to not only offer you our returning guest discount, but also able to provide you with a unit that is more to your liking; as well as have our staff dazzling you with their amazing customer service. Happy future travels.

We love Beachside II! This was our third year renting through Gibson in this building... and this year we stayed in the same unit we rented last year. Everything has been clean and in working order the last 3 years. We love the ability to walk right onto the beach and the kids love the access to the pool. The restaurant next door is a nice perk as well. Thanks for a great stay! We will be back!

Our vacation with Gibson Beach Rentals was amazing. We were right on the beach and able to enjoy it all right from our balcony when we desired to do so. The room was clean and inviting. We hope to do this again next summer.

Beautiful property. The dryer takes 3 hours to dry one load and needs some maintenance, however; excellent location and unit. Would book again and highly recommend!
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thanks so much for your review! We're so happy to hear you guys had a good time and are already looking forward to your next beach visit. Sometimes these dryers can be a little pesky as they are a smaller size than a normal household washer/dryer due to space. We hate this was an inconvenience but appreciate you letting us know! We are happy to help in any way we can!

Everything was great about the unit except I did not receive the code to get into the resort so I had to wait for someone to call me back with it. After driving hours - not something I wanted to deal with.

I loved the view and convenience. There were no major problems with any of our trip. The condo was nice but needs a few updates. We never could figure out how to play a dvd so had to hook up our laptop to the tv. The balcony set up could be nicer to accomodate a family of 4...maybe 4 chairs and two small tables to hold a drink. The kitchen was great and we only ate out once...which is our preference. I wish there had been more plastic options. Next time I know to bring plastic cups. The carpet in the master bedroom really needs to be updated. It was clean, but old with lots of stains. Bathrooms were clean, but the toilet seats were worn and could be replaced. Overall, I would rent this unit again. One other suggestion would be to have a "market" that Gibson could manage the things left behind to share with other guests. I ended up throwing bottle water out because we could not carry it on the plane...would be great to have a set up that guests could leave their pool toys, and other items (laundry soap or dishwashing liquids)that could benefit others.
