The property was recommended to us by a friend. It was a perfect location. The condo was just as described. The beach view from our balcony was great to enjoy morning coffee. Walk out a little bit to the beach umbrella & chairs that are included with your stay. We played pickleball with the equipment provided by the property. And the staff were all super nice & helpful. We plan on staying here in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay. Location was great, right on the beach. Our room was clean and roomy. The only thing we didn’t like was having to wash our towels. They had linen exchange only on Tuesday and Friday but we stayed a week so we needed fresh towels before those days. I didn’t like that I had to do laundry on vacation. Other than that I highly recommend. We also couldn’t get the wifi to work. Our favorite part was the complimentary beach service(umbrella and 2 chairs). Very convenient.

Reviewer Comments:
The condo was nice and clean. But the chairs that come free with your stay is horrible. U have to get up 2 hours early and still not get a chair without groups of people in front of you. I would rethink that whole process cause it’s a complete mess other then that it was a great place to stay I recommend a condo up alittle cause the balcony has no kind of privacy with people walking by

Staff was excellent , very friendly and helpful. The unit was disappointing and not very clean. The ceiling had black stuff in living room. In the bedroom there was a feminine hygiene liner stuck to dresser. Had to have maintenance come and fix mounding around sliding door that was pulled loose. The furniture could develop updated. Looks nice in pictures but stained and worn. I would recommend staying here but not in this unit. I brought friends with me and told them how wonderful this place was and was embarrassed by the unit.

We loved the location and property for the Holiday Surf and Racquet Club. It is right on the beach and has very nice amenities (beach chairs and umbrella, tennis courts, shuffleboard, etc.) It is also very clean and maintained. The staff are very courteous and friendly.Our only issue was the condo we were given (217) was outdated. It was clean and neat just could use some updates with the furniture, flooring and especially the beds.Overall we would definitely stay here again, but would choose a different condo

Reviewer Comments:
We had a very relaxing time on the beach. Beach chair guys were very pleasant and accommodating. The overall property was very well kept and secure. However, 217 is in desperate need of updating. We stayed in this same unit several years ago and nothing has changed! I am still not understanding the $85 housekeeping fee tacked onto the condo charge. I would think that would be part of the daily charges. I was not happy with that.

Reviewer Comments:
My husband and I decided at the very last minute to travel to the Destin area and did not secure this condo until 2 days before arrival. Wow! Did we luck out! Everything was perfect! The condo was super clean, had everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. The large balcony with the taller, bar- style chairs was our favorite spot. The 2nd floor balcony is directly overlooking the pool, tennis courts, beach in the background was our beautiful backdrop! Grounds are really well-kept as are the amenities such as tennis courts and shuffleboard courts.Loved the updated kitchen— so bright and fresh and well accommodated! If we could offer any suggestions at all, replace some of the older wood furniture in the living room with brighter pieces, like the newer, white entertainment center. Also, a little mold in the bathroom, specifically on caulking around tub. Front desk staff so great and helpful! My husband is high risk for COVID and when we told them that they gave us several baggies of disinfectant wipes, bottle of hand sanitizer and bottle of disinfectant spray! Really sweet group of folks. Also maintenance, who came up to help us with tv remotes and operating the components was super helpful and kind. We plan to come back in the fall! Thank you for sharing your vacation home! We loved it!

Reviewer Comments:
The rooms are always nice, and clean. The no smoking policy is awful and VERY inconvenient. There is NO reason that you shouldn't be able to smoke outside on the balcony and/or at the beach. We had more than one of our group that were delayed check in on time at 4pm but not given that extra time back at check out. We have had a large group that goes every year at the same time renting multiple rooms and the new rules for smoking, the tags for the umbrellas, the late check in are making us question whether or not to keep returning after almost 30 years.

We love Holiday Surf & Racquet Club. We’ve been staying here for the past 10 years. The location on holiday isle is perfect. It’s not far from some great places to eat. Love the beach, and the free umbrella & chairs. We’ve stayed in some very nice condos on this property, this one did need some updating.
