Beautiful view. Unit was very clean and comfortable. TV streaming was terrible at times...we were told that they were changing to a new provider. Excellent location. Easy access to anything you wanted to do, yet in a quiet neighborhood.

We had a wonderful time. Spent every day on the beach walking, collecting shells, reading and visiting with friends. Very relaxing and enjoyable.
Our unit was a bit outdated and definitely needs to be remodeled. The kitchen had a funky odor and needs to be redone. The bathroom also needs a remodel. Some of the living room furniture was broken.
The building itself was well maintained and clean.

★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
We had a great vacation. The condo has a fantastic view and location. I would recommend a new sleeper as the mattress is not fit for much more than a toddler. It is very thin and does not feel supported. I thought overall it was clean but could use some TLC as I was told it was newly renovated. The balcony is great and the patio furniture was comfy and perfect for morning coffee. I would rent the unit again.

We booked about a month before our vacation. We booked the room 612 we've been looking at 6:12 for a month excited only to get there and find out we're in 609 because 612 is a private owner they don't rent there condo. So right away I'm concerned. Unit 609 needs updated. Everything else about the vacation was fine thank you.

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us your feedback. We do apologize for having to move you to a different unit. Unfortunately, sometimes units sell or the owners decided to move in full time. In this case, the owner moved back full-time and removed the unit from the rental program. We will be sure to look into your concerns in regards to unit 609 to ensure all guests are having the best experience with us possible. You are a valued guest and we hope to have the chance to host you again.

Enjoyed my stay and met some good friends, but would Have been much happier if the condo unit had been more updated and didn't have damage in the ceiling from the rain, and also some of the appliances did not work , for instance the coffee pot the hand mixer the ice maker and the microwave was very old and rusting in the bottom, of course all that was replaced with new.

We love Destin and we vacation there every year. I had not stayed at Holiday Surf and Racquet in years and decided to try it again. We had a great stay. The unit was nice and very comfortable. We did have a problem with the plumbing. The shower didn't drain properly and the dishwasher didn't work.
I was dissatisfied with the "smoking" area. I was there with my two kids and I didn't love leaving the condo and not being able to smoke on the balcony.
The office was friendly and the lobby had been updated, it was beautiful.
