What a great getaway with my granddaughter. The location is perfect. We enjoyed being so close to the entrance to the pool and beach. The only issue we had was our a/c went out the last night we were there. It took too long to get someone out to check it so we left.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thank you so much for your review and feedback. I am disappointed to hear of the trouble regarding the AC, but am glad that you enjoyed your stay overall and hope that you made many wonderful memories. Regarding the AC, we were unfortunately at the mercy of the vendor's schedule. We can confirm that the AC was repaired the following morning, but are disappointed to not have it resolved during your stay. Should you choose to stay with us again, we would love the opportunity to give you the experience that so many of our guests have grown to love.

Most perfect location of any condo we've ever stayed in!!
too many people on this section of the beach which we found out was not private to this condo....unfortunate, extremely crowded
the tub/shower drained very slowly...hated standing in ankle deep shower water; light over the dining table flickers..had to turn it off; living room TV in an awkward position; coffee pot definitely needs to be replaced
once again, the location was perfect..

The parking was great, right at the door! The Condo was so easy right off the elevator! The view was great!! The Condo was a great size the only problem was the furniture and decor. It was very dated and very dull! It would be a great condo with a brighter coat of paint and beachie furniture!! That is what everyone wants when they come to the beach!!!

The condo is unusual in its decor and we loved it....right on the Gulf with walls of windows we had the best view possible. Steps from the sand, pool and sun deck with a lovely balcony..depending on the weather always an option for outside living unless it was raining. It was quiet and easily accessible to elevator, Gibson office and car garage. We had a couple of maintenance needs that were addressed within a couple of hours after emailing Gibson.

We enjoyed our stay at Sandestin. The condo had a great view and all the amenities. Loved the common area and it has a restaurant and bar on site. The water was so clear and beautiful and the waves were fun to play in we loved being able to take a walk every day on the sidewalk along side the golf course.
Conveniently located with plenty of shopping and dining close by.
This is our 2nd time and we will be back.

Fantastic condo, views are amazing. Condo could definitely use some maintenance. Door to laundry room about to fall off hinges, dishwasher top shelf falling down, will barely hold dishes on it, and shower floor is slick, dangerous esp. for older people.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
Thanks for your honesty Ernest, we appreciate it! We're working with the owner on the maintenance items as we speak. We want to ensure the safety and well-being of our guests. We would have been happy to help in any way, next time give us a call. The slippery floors could have been due to very high humidity which unfortunately is pretty common around here. We hope you had an amazing time in spite of the inconveniences.

Accommodations were fine. The shower/tub did not drain well, so you stood in water. View of beach was beautiful. However, there was public beach ramps on either side of the condo. I have never seen so many people. Even the public beach acces folks could rent the umbrellas and chairs, so those were 4 & 5 rows deep with people. Then add in all of the other beach chairs and various things the public beachers brought, and it was CROWDED. Overall, the condo is in a beautiful location. Decorated nicely. Great parking. Does not include beach chair rental or beach towels, where other condos do, but they do provide chairs you can take down to the beach.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We're so sorry Dana! Unfortunately, a busy beach is customary for Spring Break in Destin, FL. All of our beaches along the coast (even down to PCB and Westwards) have beach chair rentals that seem to have "taken over." The good thing though is that normally, if you get out there early, you can setup shop wherever you like! We have seen many people get front row. GBR has nothing to do with those vendors, but maybe it's worth the tip for next time. Our apologies for the tub drain, we have taken care of that and would have been happy to do so while you were here, give us a call next time.

Overall, a great trip. Very satisfied with Gibson rental company. The company called us when the unit was ready early. The check-in/out process seamless. The condo did not disappoint either. The view was incredible! There was only one very upsetting part of this trip and that was the company contracted to set up chairs/umbrellas for people who chose to pay for them. Each day was a fight with them. Even though the beach is public and we were out there with our chairs set up before they set up; they actually put a chair directly touching the back of my chair-they even moved another man's chair. When confronted, they said that we had to move our chairs because they had specific feet requirements on where to set up their chairs. We did not move! This ongoing battle combined with the already very overcrowded beach, will really weigh on our decision to go back here. Several people complained at the rental office. I think it's important that the property owners are aware that this is going on. They need to devise another method for setting up the chairs so that everyone is happy.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We couldn't agree more, unfortunately at this time our hands are tied. We absolutely feel like folks who don't use the rental chairs have just as much right to a great beach spot as those who might. We are so sorry that happened to you! Hopefully you all had an amazing vacation otherwise.

This was probably the best destination vacation we have ever taken. The only thing I can think of that I'd change is that the TV remote controls needed fresh batteries because they didn't always respond on the first click. It was just a fabulous condo that was part of a fabulous property.

We enjoyed three weeks at this condo rental and overall enjoyed it with a great view and a lovely beach. There is no recycling facility on the property for paper nor bottles nor plastic which is terrible given the waste thrown down the chute. Sandestin needs to address this issue. The condo furniture could do with a bit of updating for occasional chairs which were rather worn out. Other than that, good supply of dishes, pots, pans, etc.
Response from Gibson Beach Rentals, Inc.
We are so glad you enjoyed yourselves! This unit offers amazing views and is very convenient so you don't have long elevator wait times. We, too, are sad that Sandestin did away with recycling a few years ago. We were never explained as to why they made the decision but strongly support it if they ever review the idea to bring back the service! We will also pass along your feedback regarding the chairs to the Owner in hopes that she may have plans for these already. Thanks again, and we hope to have you back down very soon!

Was replaced on complaint by staff. (World series playoffs, go Cubs maybe next year). Very clean. Remember to take dish soap and counter spray and clothes washing powder. Need more practice. Would like comfortable balcony seating. Would definitely recommend this unit for 2.

The location of this condo was perfect for its views. Both east and west facing windows, as well as a south facing balcony, allowed us to see sunrises and sunsets from the comfort of the condo and its balcony. Being on the 3rd floor, the unit was high enough to see the ocean/beach over the dunes, but low enough that you felt like you were right on the beach. The pool area was nice and the water was the perfect temp.
The condo was clean. The furniture is in decent shape for a rental (albeit a little tacky, but that's subjective). The bed was comfortable. Gibson Rentals was easy to work with and responded to our clogged shower/tub drain quickly; but I'd recommend picking up some of your own items and not relying on those provided, depending on the length of your stay: shampoo/conditioner, soap, dish soap/detergent, toilet paper, laundry detergent, coffee. The coffee maker is a standard size, so even though the rental company provides 2 Folgers 4-cup packs, I'd recommend picking up your own filters and coffee. Our unit didn't have a bottle opener, so we picked up a cheap one and left it behind (hopefully it will be there for future guests :)).
