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!

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.

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.

We like the facility and location to the ocean. However, 512 needs to be updated with clean carpet, and a head board that fit the frame, higher toilet and fan in the bathroom was noisy. Otherwise, it was good place to stay.

I love this location as it is close to 'old Destin', and is very, very convenient to the necessities like grocery, fish houses, and many restaurants. Holiday Isle is just off the 98 strip, yet VERY quiet. The property is well maintained and Gulf views magnificent. Unit 512 very nice, only negative is balcony located in middle of building with less privacy than many units in either direction 2 or more units away. Kitchen nice. Nice TV- Football playoffs on during this stay.

Fantastic late fall visit with Monarch butterfly migration
by Springfield MO

Overall Comment
Unbeatable view of beautiful gulf
This seems like a recently renovated unit, compared to the general building condition. The unit is spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay again.
Some things that would really make this unit outstanding are included, as we've rented through VRBO many times, and these amenities make a stay more enjoyable.
1. Bedside lamps, nightstands
2. More than a couple wine glasses
3. Beach chairs & umbrella (we bought and left them for the unit)
4. Dining seating for more than 2 people (2 dining chairs for a unit that sleeps 6)
5. Cable or satellite (not just Roku)
6. Desk lamp and living room lamps
7. New sofa
8. The best would be "owner's chairs" included on the beach vs $40/day added expense, especially if you fly in and don't drive a carload of equipment.
Overall, it was a great stay! Thank you.

Some items in disrepair. Like the wall plug at the edge of the refrigerator. The wall is actually loose giving no support to the outlet when a plug is pushed in.
Dishwasher detergent holder doesn't always open. Soap is often still caked in the dispenser at the end of the cycle.

My two kids and I came to Destin for a friend's destination wedding. I was looking for something close to the beach. Loved this unit. It was clean, nicely decorated, and loaded with everything we needed. I would stay again. But, while it says up to 5 people, I would question that a little if you have that many people. It definitely would accommodate 2 adults on a super comfy king and 2 small kids on a pullout sofa would work. The 5th person would be on an air mattress. That's why I say it was perfect for me an my two teenage age kids. Also, the facilities was clean, well managed and the staff was friendly. Finally, it was in a great location, not on the commercial strip...more in a residential neighborhood close to a Winn Dixie, restaurants, and tourist shops.

This is our 2nd time to stay at this property (different unit though) we do not have any complaints but maybe a couple of recommendations. The unite 512 did not have any ceiling fans. That would be nice to have. And a light over the shower, it was very dark. The first 2 nights we were there they put the chairs and umbrellas away at or before 6pm, would love it if they kept them out a little longer. Other than that we had a wonderful stay. The room was very clean and staff were super nice. We will definitely stay again.
