Everything was fantastic! This is our second time staying here, and we are just as impressed as the first time. My son absolutely loved it here. The beach is pristine, the rooms are spotless, and the overall atmosphere is wonderful. It is a perfect place for a family vacation. Highly recommended!

You can’t beat the view here! The huge window in the bedroom that overlooks the beach is gorgeous. Prime location steps from the beach makes this vacation a breeze! Everything was clean and the apartment has everything you could ask for during your beach stay. Something to note, that is completely outside of the owners control, is that the building itself (hallways, elevator, lobby, etc.) is very dated. That said, the unit was perfect for us and we were very happy with our stay. We even added on an extra night while we were here! The pool and grilling area has been updated and is great. Check-in was easy and renters were helpful and available if needed. We would definitely recommend, especially for the low price vs location.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear you loved the incredible beach views, the unbeatable location, and that the condo had everything you needed for a relaxing beach vacation. It means a lot that you found the unit clean, enjoyed the updated pool and grilling area, and had a smooth check-in experience with our team.
We also appreciate you noting that the building's common areas are dated. While those spaces are maintained by the homeowners association and are outside of the individual owner's control, we're glad the condo itself exceeded your expectations and provided a comfortable stay.
The greatest compliment we could receive is that you extended your vacation by an extra night! Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing to stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back for another beach getaway soon.

Wonderful! It's great to hear everything was perfect and just as you imagined. You are so right - that view is unbeatable and almost puts you in a peaceful trance just watching it each morning! We, too, wish the Resort allowed golf cart rentals, but they cracked down on that some time ago. There is a lot of liability and other concerns/issues with rentals such as these on such a busy Resort. GBR does pay for gram service for all of our Sandestin rentals for our guests and owners though so you shouldn't have to worry about driving around the Resort or over to Baytowne - it's all included! Thanks so much leaving your feedback; we really do appreciate it and hope to see you back soon again!

We have loved our stay! Gibson Rentals made everything easy and enjoyable. From the welcome gift of sunglasses and sand pail to the free local experiences such as a round of golf. The condo itself is beautiful and clean and could not have been better. The view from the bedroom was worth it in itself. We cannot wait to come back and plan to use Gibson rentals again.
