7th summer in a row to vacation at Holiday Surf and Raquet
by Pearl River LA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
We have NEVER had any issues at HSR. It is our absolute favorite.
However, we had a toilet that didn’t flush. According to the front desk a work order was submitted before we even got there. They assured us that it would be fixed first thing in the morning. That did not happen.
The desk told me there was only one maintenance person, but only 1 toilet for 4 people is not easy or acceptable which is why we paid for 2 bathrooms.
My husband ended up fixing it and we didn’t hear anything at all again from the desk or the maintenance person the rest of the week. Other than that the condo was great.

Hi Aimee,
Thank you so much for being our guest. We are always so happy to welcome you back to HSRC. We would like to apologize for the issues you experienced during this stay. We did go back to check on the work order that was put in and it seems that maintenance did come but the toilet handle was working correctly. After reading your feedback and looking at the completed work order our maintenance team must have came after your husband fixed the handle. We would like to apologize again for the response time for this work order. It is a top priority for Holiday Surf & Racquet Club to address any issue with efficiency and timely manner. You are a valued guest and we hope to have the chance to continue hosting you for many summers to come.

Our condo was overall very nice. The kitchen was nicely appointed although could be upgraded a bit but can't really complain as interior was nicely decorated and view was outstanding.

Paradise

Overall Comment
The location and the condo was perfect. Right on the beach and close to all the shops and restaurants. The unit was beautifully and tastefully decorated. The unit was very clean and updated. I felt like I was in a 5 star hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If you're going to Destin, I would highly recommend this property. You will feel like you're in paradise.There's nothing more peaceful than sitting on the balcony at night listening to the waves. I will definitely return and stay in unit 720. I will never stay anywhere else when I vacation in Destin.

Loved everything-the condo was spotless and had everything we needed. Beach was not crowded. Only problem we had (a blown fuse) was taken care of promptly.

Room 720

Overall Comment
Everything looked so clean and new, as if we were the first to ever stay there. I had a perfect view of the beach and ocean. I sat on the balcony every morning to watch the sunrise. The furniture and decor was very nice, looked highend to me. I could not believe the amount of dishes and utensils and everything you could think of to cook and serve with. Full size fridge, oven and dishwasher, was just like home, but better! Can't wait til next time!

Clean & Cozy, but needs Update
by Surprise AZ
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
The pictures for this unit are deceptive; it was much smaller than perceived, especially the balcony. Both bathrooms are in dire need of a more modern update; the fiberglass tub and plastic shower curtains needs to go!! The sink basin and countertops were small. The spare toilet tank refill valve was broken, (toilet ran constantly after flush), but was fixed during our stay. Also, the TiVo box was not working for the main TV, (none of the channels on menu could be seen), which was also fixed during our stay.

Nice condo, crowded location
by Humble TX
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall Comment
We have stayed in Holiday Isle area for 8 years. This was our 1st time staying in a multi-level condo complex. Our unit was well appointed and clean. It was slightly small for 5 people. The beach was very crowded and due to beach erosion, there was only 1 row of umbrellas 5 of our 7 days. You must wake up early (by 7:30) to get a good umbrella location.

We stayed during the Thanksgiving time period. The accommodations were wonderful. Everything was clean and updated. The view was perfect for sunsets with great furniture on the balcony that allowed the railing to not interfere with the view. Inside the condo had all of the latest amenities and comfortable seating for the family.

We got to Destin for fall break late on a Saturday, just as Hurricane Michael was ratcheting up. We were supposed to stay through the next Saturday. We got one good day on the beach (which is better than a good day almost anywhere else!) Then the evacuations began. SUCH a disappointment when you look so forward to something for an entire year. We had not bought trip insurance, and believed we were about to lose our remaining four nights' stay. But Holiday Surf offered us a four night credit--which they did NOT have to do--and we were just so grateful. We love this place. They have always been very good to us, amazing customer service--and we will be back next year, as always. Thank you guys so much!

Destination Destin

This was our sixth visit in the last five years. We love coming here. The unit 720 was really nice with a great view of the beach and Gulf. The beds in the unit were comfy and provided a great night's sleep. My wife uses the pool daily which is always well maintained and clean. We visited the Harbor Walk like we always do and many of the local restaurants, including McGuires (good burgers) and Pompano Joes (yummy Coconut Shrimp and good views). We will definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative.

Really liked the condo. Well furnished, comfortable beds, great view from balcony. Complex is very convenient, with short walk to beach. Jetty area is walking distance down beach to the west. There is supposed to be a good snorkling spot near there, but I didn't get a chance to try it.
