2nd year in a row staying in this same rental, and we already can’t wait to come again! Perfect location, very clean and comfortable, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, and so quiet! Gibson Beach Rentals are so easy to work with and so quick to respond to any questions.

6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
Overall, the stay was just okay. Our first impression of the condo was how dirty the floors were. Clearly that had not been cleaned in a long time. We all put our shoes back on ten minutes into getting there because our feet were already black from walking on the floors. Cooking was a nightmare between pans that everything stuck to and half the stove eyes not working very well at all. (15 min on high and my eggs JUST started cooking). We also had to buy basic seasonings like salt and pepper, which are usually included in rentals for bare minimum seasonings. The A/C in the master bedroom was also broken, which we were brought a fan, but it hardly made a difference in this heat. The owners gave a partial refund to make this right, so no complaint about that, but still did not make the stay great having to sleep in a stuffy room. The walk to the beach is short, and it’s close to many places to eat, which is nice! Truly the only reason I put three stars instead of two. The saving grace on this stay, honestly. For what we paid to stay here though, we were disappointed.
