We loved the condo very clean and updated . It’s perfect for 2 people.
It was our first time at Holiday Surf and Racquet Resort. The staff there were very nice and helpful. Everything was so clean in the sauna and pools. We have found our place in Destin to stay.

We always love this place. We started coming in the 1990's and it continues to be our favorite This unit was one of the cheaper ones and needed some upgrades but we were here for the beach and didn't mind the lower standards

Unit 106
by Bloomington IL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
The location of the unit was very convenient to the beach, pool and pickleball courts. All of the basics are covered, but the unit is in need of an upgrade. Appliances had some issues such as the ice maker drips and freezes and one of the burners on the stove didn’t work for a while. Also, the light above the kitchen table has an issue with the dimmer switch.The bed was very comfortable but the living room furniture was pretty basic. None of these issues are huge and we did enjoy our month in the unit. We suggest the unit should be listed as standard rather than premium.

Needs Lots of Updates
by Marion Ar
★★★☆☆ 3 of 5
Overall Comment
Not for more than 2 people. No window treatments on ANY windows. Curtain panels do not even cover windows. We had to make temp. curtains to make sure nobody could see daughter sleeping. Table & chairs were not sturdy - chairs wobbled. Coffee table was not assembled all the way and afraid to move bc it would call apart. Pots and pans were just dirty and unusable. Stains all over curtains, couch and chair cushions. Dirty ceilings from dirty air filters. Would not stay here again.

Great Location for a huge variety of restaurants. The rental was nice. The pool was great since the seaweed alge was all over the beach and in the water.

Debby,
Thank you for being our guest at Holiday Surf & Racquet Club. Yes, Destin has been dealing with a little seaweed on the beaches lately but it hasn't been too bad this year. We do hope you were able to enjoy your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back again.

Loved our room and the location. Just a note to management, mowers need to mow early or late hours. They were mowing around lunch and grass was blowing in the swimming pool. Yuck!!
