We had a wonderful stay at Holiday Surf! Our condo was clean, comfortable, had a nice view and worked wonderful for our family. The staff were very nice and prompt to let us know of the AC issues which they fixed quickly. I might book a room not as close to the pool next time being it was very loud a majority of the day and I would prefer to enjoy the deck and the sounds of the ocean. Overall a nice family friendly place to stay that feels safe.

I really loved the location! It's so great being close to everything yet tucked away off the main drive. The beachfront area is just perfect, and the chairs and umbrella company were super helpful and accommodating. The entryway made us feel really safe, and parking was a breeze. The condo had all the kitchen essentials we needed, and it was clean and inviting. The only thing was, the beds weren’t the most comfortable—especially the main bed, which was pretty firm! The shower was clean, and the rooms were nice. The balcony was a highlight, with a lovely table and chairs to enjoy the stunning gulf views. We’d definitely stay at Holiday Surf & Racquet again, but we might choose a different condo next time because of the beds.

We’re happy to hear you’d choose Holiday Surf & Racquet again, and we hope to welcome you back soon—whether in the same unit or another that’s a better fit for your preferences!

The rental was nice overall. The picture is deceiving as the furniture is dirty and need to be replaced along with the rug under the table. The furniture in the guest room(dresser and nights stands)need to be replaced. Also I would suggest making sure the property/rental is cleaned well before guest arrive. We found hairs in what was suppose to be clean towels?

Our stay was nice, except for a few hiccups along the way. The condo had clear and specific instructions about how to work the TV in the living room, but step # 1 was to use the Samsung remote. Though there were FIVE remotes in the living room, none of them were Samsung brand and though we tried to troubleshoot, we never could get the TV in the living room to work. Also, it would be nice if there were a washer/dryer in the unit. Also, the dish towels displayed on the kitchen counter were wet and smelled of mildew.

Thank you for taking the time to review this property. The front desk is available at any time to assist with issues you may have and if they cannot help, we have a maintenance crew 7 days a week. Please utilize them if you need assistance. We have a select few units that offer washer/dryers but most of the units do not have this feature. Call back and ask the desk for assistance with washer/dryer units and we hope to see you again soon!

Upon checking in, we were told that the unit we had booked had issues with the AC not working and it was 85 degrees in the unit. After I got over being salty for not getting the unit we had originally booked, the Holiday Surf team offered us a different unit. I am so grateful that they were able to put us in a comparable unit, that more than likely, was even better than what we booked!! We will be back to Holiday Surf on our next trip to Destin!! Great accommodations, great location, great staff!! Thank you!!

Although the property was a little farther from food and entertainment then we thought, being right on the beach made up for that :) We had no issues to Uber where we wanted to go in the evening and Target was a close walk if/when we needed. The condo itself was great. Plenty of room, clean and worked great for our group of 6. We would defiantly stay again!

Overall the experience was great, however just a couple minor issues were noticed. The thermostat in our unit was very outdated to where you couldn't tell what temp it was in the room or what it was set to. Also not having a ceiling fan in the room was a negative. However the most negative thing was not having a washer/dryer in the room, and then having to PAY to wash/dry our laundry on top of that. I feel like the rooms could use some updating in general. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, location was great, outdoor areas were great.

The condo was in a very good location, quiet place & the view was very nice. We all enjoyed that part of the condo.
However, the whole place could use some internal updates especially the other bedroom- dark & very ancient furnitures.

The unit is very nice. This was our second year we have rented this unit for an extended period. It is a nice looking unit that is reasonably updated. Really like the two recliners that look out on the ocean. The outdoor furniture is top notch. This probably sounds picky, but we would really like to have the freezer fixed since you have to defrost it every three days...which is an annoying problem when you stay 1-2 months. We reported this to management last year but nothing was done. We reported it again this year. Otherwise it is a great unit and we really like the setting and the facility.
