Artistic Coastal themed Beachfront condo with incredible VIEWS! (512)
Beachfront condo with incredible VIEWS of your PRIVATE BEACH! (512)
Relaxation and Fun await!! Holiday Surf and Racquet Club is located on our very own Private, white sand beach in the heart of Destin on Holiday Isle. Come and marvel at the inspiring gulf and beach views from the open-air balconies, take a water taxi or 5-minute UBER ride to the shops and restaurants in Destin Harbor. You can see the weekly harbor fireworks from the resort! By far the best on the beach!! What more could you want?
Unit 512 is a 5th floor, one bedroom, one bath unit, recently remodeled (May 2023) featuring new LVP flooring, paint, and new furniture throughout. The kitchen includes top of the line stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. You’ll enjoy all the kitchen gadgets, utensils, plates, etc. during your stay. If you might need it, this unit has it. The new living room furniture includes a convertible Murphy bed “Queen” sleeper, with mattress topper (not a pull-out couch) and a four-seat couch with chase lounge chair. The kitchen dining area has bar stools and a rustic dining table with four chairs all of which bring comfort, style, and charm to this spacious condo.
For your viewing entertainment enjoy a brand new 65” LG Smart TV (with Netflix, Disney, Hulu, all the Apps). Enjoy complimentary Cox Cable TV, Wi-Fi access and a DVD/Blu-Ray player. The master bedroom also has a brand new 50" LG Smart TV and a second DVD/Blu-Ray player.
In the master bedroom relax and sleep in on a brand new elevated king-size bed with top-of-the-line mattress. Enjoy the huge storage of the bed, new dresser, and nightstands. 512 sleeps a maximum of four guests.
Wait there is more!!! Unit 512 is in the "V" of the resort, which provides morning and afternoon shade to enjoy the stunning views from the balcony (without getting too hot – Bonus!!). Another great thing about being in the "V" is you're only a few steps away from the elevator landing making it super convenient to come and go from the beach, pool, or any of your vacation activities. Who wants to drag their stuff all over the resort?
Got kiddos? 512 is located directly above the pool - yet another great thing about staying in the “V”. Don't forget all the wonderful amenities Holiday Surf has to offer - a great outdoor heated pool, Fitness room, Sauna, Tennis courts and Shuffleboard with Free equipment rentals and weekly linen exchange also included in your stay. We promise you'll love 512 at Holiday Surf and Racquet Club for your next Beach vacation.
3 Night Minimum - Year-round! This unit welcomes Snowbirds and long-term rentals. Book soon!

We had a wonderful trip and stay at Holiday Surf & Racquet Club. Our unit (512) was very clean, comfortable, cozy and well stocked. We had everything we needed. We loved the beach, pool and tennis courts. It is very close to everything in Destin but did not feel as busy/crowded as some areas. The staff were helpful and friendly too. We hope to return!

We stayed at this resort in April and overall it was a good experience. We stayed in unit 512 on the last week in April, which was very quiet and water was too cold to get in but Beautiful beaches! The resort we stayed in was recently remodeled and had everything we needed however bed was not the most comfortable after a few nights of sleeping on it. . Staff was friendly. My only recommendation is to maybe have more activities on site for residence.

We have stayed at Holiday Surf many times in past and this was quick 5 night trip. My dislikes in unit 512 were the toilet had some issues flushing, a picture fell down in bedroom the microwave was cheap and couch not very comfortable. The outdoor furniture was nice as was the kitchen table. Location is good for what we need.I would not stay in this unit again unless there was upgrades

Was pretty good time
The property is in a great location off the main roadway of 98.The employees are very nice and accommodating. Check in was quick- the unit was nice and had almost everything needed except a toaster but that's really not a big deal. The bed was comfy and the unit was clean. This is our 2nd year at Holiday Surf & Racquet and we plan to return every year.
This unit was very clean but quite outdated. The view was amazing. We had everything we needed except beach towels. A lover our stay was nice but as stated the unit could use some updating.
Overall we were very satisfied with our stay. Very clean, close walk to the beach and had almost everything we needed. My only complaint is that we weren’t notified that the back sliding door didn’t have blinds, so you could see right in. I like my privacy but we were able to fix it for the week we were there. Rooms don’t have fans and we could have definitely used them. If you like to have a fan on at night we suggest bringing your own. Other than those two small complaints, we loved it! Staff was kind and courteous…definitely recommend!

This unit is a lot smaller than the pictures depict. Practically no room for groceries in the kitchen. Bathroom has small vanity and is tiny also. Just a few towels and wash cloths. It is in the corner so you only have a partial view of the ocean. Your neighbors can also look right into your balcony area. It is a pretty good hike out the beach. There are more rules and regulations than the army. The furnishings were nice would be the only positive review. We went to another complex on the second day because we felt we could not enjoy our vacation here. Of course there were no refund!

Unit was clean but in need of many repairs. Ice maker wasn’t working, mattress had a large dip( worn out), carpet was stained and in need of replacement. Dimmer switch in kitchen didn’t work properly Kitchen had been upgraded and was pretty nice. My wife loved the power recliner. View of the beach was gorgeous. The crew behind the desk was phenomenal especially Rachel. She got us a mattress topper at 8:00 at night. They gave us complimentary ice due to our non working ice maker. Kudos to the front desk team. Made us feel special.
Located right on the beach, we very much enjoyed our stay here. They offer complimentary chair service on the beach. The apartment was well stocked with kitchen equipment, including a crock pot. Very comfortable and great location. Not overcrowded. Grills are available for use outside. Would definitely return to this property.
The only thing we did not like is that we had no privacy on our balcony. Also that we could not save our seats on beach. Didn’t make sense that I couldn’t go and place my tags on chairs and come back after breakfast. If it’s included in my stay I should be able to use it how I choose to.
The location of this property is perfect. On the beach, close to restaurants and shopping, but away from the crowd and noise of Destin. This was our second year in a row staying at this facility. The facility is clean, convenient, and user friendly. We enjoyed our stay for the second consecutive year!
Our condo contained all we needed for a relaxing vacation. The views from our balcony were absolutely gorgeous. The complex was quiet, we never heard anyone beside us or above us(we stayed on the 5th floor). There was little wait for the elevators as well.
The king size med was very comfortable and walk in closet provide lots of space for clothing items and suitcases. Bathroom is a little small for more than 2 people but manageable with the dressing area set up in the bedroom. The kitchen had all needed items for cooking breakfast and lunch each day. They offered a standard coffee marker and a Keurig
Opportunity to gain clean linens 2 time during the week was super easy. Staff at the complex were friendly and helpful!
Close to restaurants but also not right in the middle of all the night life.
We will definitely be back!

We always love coming to Holiday Surf. It has been our home away from home for over 10 years now every August.The condo itself was beautiful. The only complaint I might have is that there is absolutely no pantry and we felt like we had things lying all over the place all week. The other thing is this is the first time we ever had a balcony butt up to another one and we didnt like not having the privacy. Would be great for two families that go together.

First, I loved the beach, the staff, the fact that they sat out chairs and an umbrella for every room. I did not like that they said it slept 5 and it clearly only had one bed and one fold out couch. Which worked fine for us bc we had 3 kids and they all slept in a bed. But what if we had 5 adults? Also it was dirty. You could tell that they didn't ever bother cleaning under beds, in the cabinets, ect.... Also the dishwasher didn't work. It only used cold water and you couldn't change it off of quick clean. They also didnt have any wash clothes to shower with.
