My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Holiday Surf and Racquet Club. The unit we stayed in was spacious and comfortable. The carts to bring up groceries to the room was a super game changer. We didn’t have to make several trips from vehicle to room. The room had all the amenities of home minus a washer and dryer. Those are located on the fourth floor. Overall we would love to stay here again.

Hi there Rodney, and thank you for your review of our property. Each unit is individually owned, so each one is decorated differently and has different updates and upgrades. As of 2023, we have a 3-tier pricing system to give guests options for unit upgrades and pricing. The less updated units are less money, the more updated units are more money, and there is only a small jump in rates between the tiers. Unit 719 is a premium unit, or middle tier. If you are wanting something more updated, you could try a luxury unit for your next visit. The front desk is also available to help you navigate the options to choose exactly what you want, just call them at. We hope to see you back again soon!

Room 719 at Holiday Surf and Racket was very nice with great views from the top floor. Had been 13 years since visiting Destin, just needing a few relaxing days at the beach, it did not disappoint! Good seafood, fishing with Hooked Charters inshore, and day of golf. Got to spend a lot of time with my son also, he is currently living in Destin.

Great views! We loved the beach service and the heated pool. The only thing is that our unit could use a few tiny updates. The shower head had pretty low pressure, outdated couch, our handbook had some incorrect information about linen exchanges so we missed that which was a little inconvenient, and the blender didn’t work, but we didn’t notice that until the last night. But I realize these are things for the owner to handle, not the staff at the resort. I can’t say enough good things about how friendly and kind the staff was! We also loved how quiet and peaceful it was, we were worried it would be paper thin walls and noisy, but it was the exact opposite. We will definitely be returning next year!

HSRC is an awesome “Destin” ation. We have been staying here for about 10 years and are never disappointed. Unit 719 has a great view and everything you need to make for a great stay. It’s a little dated, could use a face lift but the kitchen is so well equipped this foody lacked for nothing.

Great experience as always at Holiday Surf and Racquet Club. A/C was not working when we arrived. Within one hour problem was fixed and everyone was extremely professional and apologized for the problem. The unit was clean and the view was spectacular. The front desk very very helpful and the beach chair/umbrella guy was great. He goes out of his way to be helpful and handle situations immediately. As we spent most of our time on the beach his helpful friendly attitude was pretty awesome.

Second time to stay at Holiday Surf & Racquet, though 2 different units. Beach service is a plus, though can be crowded at times. Location was convenient to restaurants and activities. #719 was updated and met our needs. Morning sun is brutal in the bedroom window. Free DVD rental is a nice plus. Parking is great. Restaurant recommendations are: Boshamps, Callahans, The Local Market& McGuire's Irish Pub. Segway rental place is fantastic! Highly recommend and look forward to coming back to HS&R!

This was our first time to stay at the Holiday Surf and Racquet Club as well as to visit Destin. We were a little hesitant because many times the accomodations are not as advertised. So we were prepared to lower our expectations just a little. What a pleasant surprise. From the moment we arrived everything was exactly as we had expected. Check in was easy, staff very friendly and helpful and the property was beautiful. The room had a fantastic view and was very clean which is not always the case we have found at other properties. We stayed 5 nights and thouroughly enjoyed every minute. We have zero complaints and nothing but good things to say about the entire stay. We will be booking again for next year , or sooner. We and highly recommend this facility for anyone looking to experience the Destin beach. Also I have to mention the guys doing the setup everyday for the chairs and umbrellas. Absolutely super people, friendly, professional could not have been anymore helpful or accomodating. Thanks Russell and Scott for making the beach so enjoyable. Overall 5 stars for the staff and 5 stars for the Condo as a whole. can't wait to book again.

It had a great view. As soon as we got to our room, we could see dolphins in the water. The condo was very nice overall.. My only complaint is that the chain lock on the door was broke. The condo comes with a little tag that you take down to the beach and they give you two chairs and an umbrella (which was awesome and my favorite thing about the whole trip).

Kitchen is equipped with everything if wanting to stay in and cook. Only thing is that it was noisy in the night with some knocking sounds which make it hard for my husband to fall asleep. But overall a pleasant stay and we will definitely come back again.
