Lovely condo! Tastefully decorated and updated throughout. It was equipped with all the necessities which made our stay wonderful. We did struggle with the remotes in the living room and TV operation, so possibly a small instruction sign could help future guests. Disappointed that front desk staff seemed to be always on their cell phones.

Been coming here for many years. The property is always updated. You can count on the staff to be the best anywhere on the Emerald Coast! Family friendly environment with rules. Be brought our entire family here for years and always felt welcome and safe. The location on Holiday Isle is perfect beach is never too crowded and you can find the best restaurants just close enough. We have stayed in various locations around the property and there is not a bad view in any condo. Thank you Holiday Surf & Racquet for being our home away from home. Bob and Anita Cardosi

Thank you so much, Bob and Anita, for your heartfelt and thoughtful review! It means the world to us that you’ve chosen Holiday Surf & Racquet Club as your home away from home over the years. We’re proud to offer a welcoming, family-friendly environment with a dedicated team, and we’re thrilled to know you’ve consistently had such great experiences. We truly appreciate your continued loyalty and can’t wait to welcome you and your family back for many more wonderful stays!
I was super impressed with this condo! Very clean, plenty of towels and wash rags, bed was comfortable, good view, laundry area on 6th floor. When you got your instructions message it did say you needed to bring trash bags and towel paper. There was plenty there. We didn’t have any issues with neighbors being loud or any other noise issues. Front lobby people were very helpful and willing to answer any questions you had. They also had bags of ice which was a huge plus for us since we take a cooler to the beach! Beach area had free chairs and umbrella that came with our room rental which was also a HUGE plus! Pool area was super nice, also had tennis court and some other games people/kids could use! Great location in Destin! Not far at all from lots of restaurants! Would 100% recommend!

It’s great to know the supplies, helpful front lobby staff, and even the ice availability made your stay easier and more enjoyable.
We’re especially glad you enjoyed the complimentary beach chairs and umbrella, the pool area, and the additional amenities like the tennis court and games. Being close to great restaurants is always a bonus too! Thank you for the strong recommendation — it truly means a lot to us. We would love to welcome you back again for another great stay.

We enjoys our weekend getaway very much. The condo was very nice and clean. Loved they had carts for luggage and grocery carts for groceries. Had never had that before anywhere we’ve stayed.

Reviewer Comments:
We were able to book fairly last minute, which was really nice. The view was advertised. The condo itself was ok...but it very much needs to be renovated. The pull out sofa looks to be 10+ years old, and the mattress was only a couple of inches thick. The bedroom was very outdated as well. One day, my son left a dish in the sink, and we came home from dinner to find a kitchen full of fruit flies. Thankfully, the staff was able to come the next morning and clean, which took care of that problem. I would stay at the facility again, but would prefer another condo...unless this one were renovated and updated.

Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts on your stay. The Owners were able to schedule an entire repaint between the busy booking season, they have worked diligently to keep this unit in prime condition, the new Sleeper Sofa is arriving soon. All other furniture in the Living room has already been replaced this year. HSRC and the Owners would like to sincerely thank you for staying with us. We hope you are able to return soon to see the new additions the Owners have invested into making your stay "a memory to last a lifetime".
