About this property
STUNNING GULF FRONT VIEW!
Recently remodeled, Unit #419 is a top renting unit at Holiday Surf, and it sits right on the beach. Enjoy your morning coffee on your private balcony while you take in stunning views of the beautiful white sand beach and emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. At sunset, listen to the hypnotic sound of the waves as you sip a glass of wine on the steps of the boardwalk.
Features of this cute little condo include a new kitchen with white shaker-style cabinets and granite countertops, breakfast bar, new appliances and adjoining dining area with dry bar. You'll love the beachy, wood-look tile in the main living areas and the new La-Z-Boy queen-size sleeper sofa with two matching recliners in the living room. You'll get a great night's sleep on the king-size bed in the master. For the little person in your family, you'll find a twin-size cot with bedding in the closet. The bathroom has plenty of extra storage, granite countertop and new vanity.

Holiday Surf & Racquet Club is located on Holiday Isle, a quiet peninsula situated between the Gulf of Mexico and Destin Harbor, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Highway 98, yet still conveniently located near area family attractions and great dining experiences in and around the Destin Harbor area.
Here are a few nearby restaurants that we’ve tried and really like - in no particular order:
4. Harbor Docks - a local favorite with an interesting "Thai" take on some dishes.
5. AJ’s - In addition to their restaurant and bar, AJ's also has a great party boat - you'll be singing YMCA like the Village People on your way back to the harbor. Seriously.
6. Margaritaville - They have gluten-free burger buns for those with issues who still enjoy a burger now and then.
7. McGuires Irish Pub - Great food, open late, and have their own micro brewery. Hubby says it might possibly be the best beer he's ever had. People rave about their steaks and prime rib. I love their corned beef and cabbage. O.M.G.!
8. The Donut Hole (we LOVE this place for breakfast). Outstanding donuts and desserts; check out the dieter's special (which we refer to as a heart attack on a plate - but OMG! It is delicious!!). The lines get long here for breakfast; takeout will be quicker.
9. Bric a Brac - Word from one of our guests is that the new Bric a Brac restaurant right there on Holiday Isle is a must see. According to the website there is great food and jazz on the weekends. Can't wait to try this one out!
10. The Back Porch - This is a local favorite, and right on the beach. Gluten-free options available. Best drinks in Destin. Hands down!
11. Pompano Joe's - The Travel Channel has featured Pompano Joe's as the ultimate beach shack and one of the world's best beach restaurants. Gluten-Free options available. Also right on the beach. Beach volleyball, anyone?
There are many, many other restaurants and steak houses - pretty much any food and price range you could imagine.
The condo is located close to Target, Winn Dixie grocery store, liquor store, the nail salon...
So many things to do at the Harbor. So much fun! Zipline, deep sea fishing charters, sunset wine cruise, dolphin cruises, parasailing - you name it! There are also a number of great bars and restaurants and small shops.
Big Kahuna's Water Park is located about 2 miles east of the condo. The kids will love it.
Great shopping at the Silver Sands Outlet Mall!

The view of the beach was spectacular, the condo modern and clean. The pool was very nice. My only criticism was that this is first time I’ve ever been told I need to provide my own toilet paper after the first two half rolls run out.

Thank you for your feedback. We always provide guests with a starter pack of essentials which includes toilet paper. This is detailed in the welcome email that is sent out when making the reservation.
We had a great experience staying at this condo in Destin. The location was absolutely perfect—close to everything we needed and just a short walk to the beach. The host was incredibly communicative and made sure we had all the information we needed for a smooth and enjoyable stay. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. We would definitely stay here again!
Great condo in a great location right on the beach!
The condo was great, the entire thing was very clean and the employees were all very friendly. Josh, the host, was great and very quick to answer any questions. We loved it!
Great place to stay! Right on the beach with easy access and parking. Grocery store close too. Everything we needed was provided and beds were very comfortable! Would definitely recommend!!
We had a wonderful extra long weekend at the Holiday surf and racquet club. Accessing the property was seamless and the rental met all of our expectations. The king bed was very comfortable. There was plenty of room along the beach each day we were there. The property was overall quiet minus a few outliers. We enjoyed morning and evenings in the ocean facing balcony. Josh was quick to respond to any questions we add upon arrival and during our day. I would definitely stay here again if visiting Destin.
Very nice condo in a great location. Beautiful sunsets from the lanai . Fun dining and beach bars within walking distance and of course beautiful white sandy beaches.
My husband and I enjoyed spending our birthday in your condo. We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed less crowded beach. The condo was beautiful to match the views. Loved being able to seat on the patio and soak in the surroundings
It was a great trip! The room was amazing! Our hotel was in a great location. The amenities were perfect for our family. I will definitely recommend people to stay at your place.
We enjoyed our short stay. Everything in the room was just like it was described in the listing. I would stay here again.

About the host

Why they chose this property
We had been looking to purchase a unit at Holiday Surf for nearly two years. It took some time to find just the right one, but we were patient and we purchased our first unit, #415. We were able to renovate it and make it just what we wanted. When Unit #419 came available, we decided to repeat that positive experience with this little one-bedroom unit with the spectacular view. We love how close Holiday Surf is to Destin Harbor. Whether we want an evening of fine dining, or something more casual, there are many, many wonderful restaurants nearby on Destin Harbor. Of course, we also love to visit the Silver Sands Outlet Mall and the stores and restaurants in the Santa Rosa Beach area. It will take many trips to Destin to do it all!
What makes this property unique
We enjoy the quiet, low traffic area on Holiday Isle and appreciate the emphasis on guest comfort that we have found at Holiday Surf & Racquet Club. There is nothing like an early morning walk on the beach -- so quiet and peaceful. We love listening to families outside playing tennis or splashing in the pool or on the beach during the day. Their laughter is contagious! You'll leave for home relaxed and refreshed -- already thinking about next year's vacation.
