About this property

Destin Gulf Front Condo - Top Floor View of the Emerald Water- Sleeps 6!

Our condo is on the top floor and our view is fantastic. Unit 716 is not a "middle stack" unit, so the view is superior to many others in the building ! This remodeled condo is direct Gulf-front at its best! The unit features brand new tile throughout, new stainless appliances and quartzite counter-tops, and a classic fresh, open look that will delight you!
NOTE: We rent in 7 day increments, with check-in and check-out on Saturday. So stays are typically one week, two weeks, etc.

Located at the ever-popular Holiday Surf and Racquet Club on exclusive Holiday Isle... a peninsula surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico and Destin Harbor... View sugar white sand and the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico right from your own living room and private balcony!

You don't have to cross the road to enjoy the surf here. Removed from US Highway 98 traffic, but minutes from restaurants, shopping, boat docks, fishing, golf, and amusements. Walk or jog on Holiday Isle's two and a half miles of sidewalks, or bike through its quiet neighborhood streets. Nothing else in Destin can compare!

This one bedroom, one bath, seventh-floor unit sleeps six... with two full size beds in the bedroom and a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room. The cook will find an open concept fully-equipped kitchen... with a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Mexico! Dining table seats four with two more spots at the breakfast counter. We have a 50” Smart TV in the living room and a 32" Hi-Def TV in the bedroom in case you hit a rainy day or want to watch TV at night.

NOTES: Minimum rental age 25 and is verified at check-in by staff. Our condo does not allow any pets and it is a No Smoking and No Vaping condo. Beach chair service is NOT included with our unit's rental fee, but you typically can rent for $40/day from the beach service vendor, bring your own chairs from home or buy something inexpensive locally at the nearby WalMart or Target.

Just outside Holiday Surf's door you can step into our heated pool... or take a few steps across sugar white sand to swim in the beautiful emerald green water of the Gulf of Mexico. Holiday Surf offers two tennis courts and exercise facilities onsite. Opportunities for paddle boarding, kayaking, parasailing, snorkeling, and fishing can be found along the beach too.

Holiday Surf & Racquet Club is located a little east of the 'jetties,' where the Gulf of Mexico and Destin Harbor meet, a spot well-known for great snorkeling and diving. And the perfect place for the end of the day... Here you can watch a parade of boats returning from Gulf to harbor as, behind them, the sun sinks into the Gulf of Mexico.

Only a few minutes' drive will take you to Destin Harbor... home of Destin's world-class charter fishing fleet, plus sailing excursions, sunset cruises, jet ski and pontoon boat rentals, diving, snorkeling and dolphin watching trips... also, wonderful water-view restaurants and fun dockside bars. Nearby are abundant shopping opportunities... from exclusive boutiques to outlet stores, antiques, and art to sandals and bathing suits. Numerous golf courses and amusement parks are only a short drive away.

This was the first trip me and my 15 year old daughter took together. We had such a great time! The condo was awesome and just right size for us. She was so excited and to see her smile was everything!!! The view was perfect! I could listen to the waves all dayand night! We bought flah lights and went shell hunting at night. We collect quite a few! I saw a couple dolphins in the morning from the balcony. We took a dolphin sunset tour. Amazing! I also got her to go parasailing with me. We ate fantastic food and eveything was close if we needed anything. Shopping was also great! My car was full when we left. I could see us making this an annual trip and would love to stay here again! Thank you Frank for letting us enjoy your beautiful place! We didnt want to leave!!!
