Top-Floor Beachfront Escape with Breathtaking Gulf Views

When your vacation is all about the beach, the view matters—and this top-floor condo delivers one you'll remember long after your trip ends. Located on the 7th and highest floor of the building, this inviting two-bedroom, two-bath retreat offers sweeping views of the Gulf's emerald waters and the beautiful beachfront below. Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the waves and end each evening watching the sunset paint the sky.

Inside, you'll find a comfortable, welcoming space designed for relaxing after a day in the sun. Hardwood-look flooring in the bedrooms and tile throughout the rest of the condo create a clean, coastal feel that's both stylish and easy to enjoy.

The fully equipped kitchen includes the essentials for preparing meals, along with both a traditional drip coffee maker and a Keurig, making it easy to start each day your favorite way. The open living area is perfect for gathering, featuring a reclining chair, a sleeper sofa that allows accommodations for up to six guests, and a 65-inch TV with a DVD player for relaxing movie nights after a day at the beach.

The primary bedroom offers a king-size bed, a 48-inch TV, and a private en-suite bathroom with a bathtub and glass shower door. The guest bedroom features a comfortable queen-size bed and a 43-inch TV, while the nearby guest bathroom includes a beautifully updated walk-in shower, providing added comfort and convenience for family or friends.

Beyond the condo, you'll have access to everything you need for an unforgettable beach vacation. Spend sunny afternoons at the beachfront pool, enjoy a friendly match on the tennis or pickleball courts with complimentary equipment available from the front desk, or follow the private boardwalk for direct access to the sugar-white sand and sparkling Gulf waters.

Your stay also includes two complimentary beach chairs and one beach umbrella from March 1 through October 31. Beach attendants will have everything set up for you each morning and take it down at the end of the day, so all you have to do is arrive, relax, and enjoy. Additional chairs and umbrellas are available to rent if needed.

For added convenience, the property features two on-site laundry rooms with pay-per-use washers and dryers, along with towel exchange on designated days during your stay.

Very Nice Stay

We enjoyed our second trip to Holiday Surf & Racquet Club. Condo was exactly as pictured/described, had a wonderful view, comfy beds, and new furnishings. We loved being on the beach and having two chairs and an umbrella included. We will surely return in future years. The only things that were different from condos we have paid more to stay in included not having covered parking, not having a washer/dryer in the unit, and not having a better pool (which doesn't matter to us anyway as we prefer getting our Vitamin Sea!).

Extremely kid friendly

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The room was clean and the view was beautiful. The only problem with the room was the a/c during the night would have a vibration type noise at times, but I didn’t say anything about it. (Didn’t want to mess with it on vacation). The location was great, the beach was easily accessible, the only complaint was it wasn’t very adult friendly. We’re all in our 40s and 50s and wanted to enjoy a cold beverage in the pool, but was quickly told we couldn’t by the fun police. The whole time we stayed there we seen the same guy harassing respectful adults trying to enjoy themselves on vacation in the pool with a cold drink like it’s the biggest issue, meanwhile kids are running wild jumping in and out of the pool(having fun mind you). We’ll probably stay elsewhere next time.

Well, it's just okay. Not great value for the money!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: THE GOOD: Beautifully located with direct access to the gulf beach. The view from the balcony was great! Unit was clean.THE NOT SO GOOD: Overall property (not just unit 705) is quite old and the age shows everywhere. They may have tried to renovate it to some extent but it is just old now. Unit 705 was also just okay, not great. The pics were much better than the interior. Well kept but overall quite old. Appliances, furniture and fixtures were old/worn out. Lighting was poor especially in the bedrooms. Bathrooms need help too. The air conditioner was significantly loud, as in it would disturb one's sleep when it came on. All in all, I was expecting this to be a lot better for the amount of money I shelled out for two nights stay. SPECIAL MENTION: Big shout-out to Megan Pollack for being flexible and helping to reschedule to another date as we couldn't travel earlier due to storms.

Worst Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: To begin with upon arrival the room had a Moldy smell. Which made me and family members ill. Secondly, the Hotel Staff was very incompetent. I reported 3 incidents of smoking on the balcony below me. Nothing was done. I was told the room would be fined, but every night my family went on the balcony it smelled like strong cigar smoke. They have a NO SMOKING policy that was never enforced. Secondly our microwave caught on fire and the refrigerator was not working properly. Then we attempted to wash our clothes and that’s all you could do was wash them. The dryer did not work. So imagine carrying a load of wet clothes ALL the way to the 4th floor laundry mat to re wash and dry. Worst experience of my life. I do not recommend.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to HSRC for about 10yrs and we've enjoyed coming every year but something must be done to fix the beach chair tagging debacle. I had to get up at 5:30am to get down there in order to get a decent spot. There has to be a digital way to do this? Also the chairs could be spaced closer together in order to eliminate the 3rd row.

Chris, Thank you for once again allowing us to host you and your family. We always enjoy having you as our guest. We are currently trying to implement a new process for beach service.
