If you're seeking an unforgettable escape, look no further than Condo #509 at HSRC. From the moment we arrived, the exceptional service set the tone for a perfect getaway. The staff's attention to detail and genuine warmth made us feel like VIPs throughout our stay. They even went the extra mile and gave up new linens when we missed the day because we went out for an excursion to Crab Island.
The condo itself was a haven of comfort and elegance, boasting a stunning ocean view that was simply mesmerizing. It was impeccably clean, thoughtfully appointed, and equipped with all the amenities one could desire. Waking up to the sound of waves and stepping onto a private balcony was a daily highlight.
The beaches were pristine, offering a serene setting for relaxation or exploration. Whether lounging under an umbrella or taking a dip in the crystal-clear waters, the cleanliness and upkeep of the beach were evident.
The atmosphere at HSRC was both inviting and tranquil. It struck the perfect balance between luxury and homey comfort, making it an ideal retreat for both relaxation and adventure.
In summary, Condo #509 is a gem within a remarkable resort. With outstanding service, immaculate beaches, and an inviting ambiance, this is the place to stay for a truly memorable experience.

Absolutely a very relaxing vacation. Having the provided beach chairs & umbrella was huge. However to get the front row on the beach you had to get there by 7am as it is first come first serve. Beautiful beaches, very hot in July. June would probably be a better month to avoid 90+ degree temperatures. Condo was absolutely gorgeous!

This was our first time staying in Destin. The property was gorgeous and our condo was amazing. It was newly renovated and had everything we needed. The staff was amazing. I will definitely be making this a yearly trip for my family.

All of the staff was extremely helpful but more importantly knowledgeable!! Any little problem they were on the spot. Our coffee pot was broken, we had a brand new Mr Coffee in the box in 10 minutes. I highly recommend this condo.

Best beach condo my family and I have stayed in. Wonderful condition you can tell the owners put a lot of pride and hard work into this unit. It even smells new. We were very happy with our stay.

We have stayed at Holiday Surf four or five times already, and this had to be the best! The weather was perfect (we were a little concerned about the hurricane). But the condo exceeded our expectations! There was nothing we did not like about it. Everything, from the colors of the walls to the decor, and oh my goodness, the view! I would highly recommend this condo!

Overall very nice. Our unit needed attention with a bad carpet and insects in kitchen sink. Sink only.

The location was great! The beach and pool area were really clean! The check in area was super nice and smelled great. I reserved a room in March that we really liked but received an email in May saying we had a room change due to the condo being sold. That was upsetting but figured we wouldn’t be in the room too often anyways. So our new room 509 could have been cleaned better though. There was black hair in the floor of the bathroom and living room from past guests. There was a hot Cheeto and corn kernel in the floor in the living room from past guests. The DVD player did not work and the door was stuck open. The staircases were stinky and needed to be pressure washed. We really enjoyed being able to rent movies for free but had to go buy our own DVD player to watch them. Our door code didn’t work when we got there, but a really nice lady came to our room ASAP and fixed it for us. Overall we enjoyed ourselves but would have appreciated our room being more clean.

It was clean, great access to the beach and very nice staff. Better value than any other place we were looking at and great views of the ocean.

This was a great location and the beach service was a great bonus. Our unit was very nice and the property is kept clean. Our only complaint would be that it is very clearly marked in various locations that this is a non-smoking facility; however, we had neighbors smoking on their balcony which made it less enjoyable to be outside. Additionally we did not book in advance and contacted the property management company the day of our arrival to check for availability of a unit. The front desk representative said she would have to go manually check units to see what was clean and available and wasn't sure when she could do that due to being the only one there. She was very helpful; however it took a few hours to get an answer where we were considering leaving the area and moving on to Pensacola Beach. We were thankful she was able to find a unit for us and get us in after all as we ended up having a great stay.

We stayed several years at Holiday S&R Club In the 80’s & 90’s. Thought this year let’s stay there again for old times sake. So glad we did! It’s quieter on Holiday Isle & the beach is beautiful. Room was very nice & views from 5th floor gorgeous! Fun watching the fishing ships go in & out each day.

What an incredible resort! The room was wonderful except for the bed. It was horrendous and made it literally impossible to sleep.

There is so much space. The bed feels like a cloud and they provide a billion pillows and extra blankets. There was only 2 of us for this trip. They supply everything you would need in a kitchen. We went to the store to buy breakfast and lunch foods and put them in the fridge for the week so we wouldnt have to leave for town besides dinner. You are right on the beach with an AMAZING view. The cost to get to town via uber is roughly $8-$11 one way. So roughly a $16-$20 roundtrip visit to the harbor boardwalk area. It is about $35 to uber from destin-fort Walton airport to the racquette club as well! We loved our stay. They provide FREE movie rentals for your convenience in case the weather keeps you inside. It's sort of like a redbox but they give you a card that gives you unlimited movies for your stay. You'll have wifi and cable as well! Check in isn't til 4pm, but if you arrive early, they will let you in no earlier than 1pm if the room is already empty and clean. Check out is 10am. They will give you a little reservation card with a clip on it that way if you would like to reserve an umbrella and 2 chairs on the beach, you're welcome to go down around 8/9am and place your reservation on any untagged umbrella. Then you can just leave it there for the day and come back whenever you please and it will remain reserved for you. Just remember to go pick it up around 7/8 PM because that is when they put the chairs and umbrellas back up. They also offer surf board and paddleboard rentals right on the beach! I do recommend bringing something to float on if you can because trust me, you will want one eventually!

This room was clean and comfortable. My family and I enjoyed our stay. Thank you, we look forward to staying here again next year.

Perfect! I would only add to come off some of the rules a bit. We are responsible adults and we take care of our planet. We should not have to suffer for those other irresponsible individuals. Also put a floor mat inside the front entrance and down the ramp to elevators, with the rain wet floors, we almost broke our backs falling on the slippery floors...i had to put out wet floor signs and advise front desk to mop up the wet floors.

My wife and I stayed at Unit 509 for Memorial Day weekend and it was great! The unit was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The bedroom and bathroom could use some updating, but that's minor. Would recommend!
Submitted on May 30, 2019
It was a great experience and the facility was very clean and nice. The only negative take away we had was we the price of the rental they could have provided toilet paper. We ran out halfway through our stay. The front desk said it wasn't included.

Last week my husband and two small children ages 1 and 2 stayed in condo 509. I was extremely satisfied with how spacey and clean the condo was. This condo was equipped with everything you would need on a stay. We absolutely loved the views and the balcony. Would recommend this condo!!!

This is a really nice beach spot. The condo had a balcony with an ocean view. A pretty nice size for a one bedroom. The only drawback was that there wasn’t in unit laundry, only coin laundry on the floors above and below. Two complimentary beach chairs and an umbrella each day! Also, they gave you one free activity per person, per day- that was really unexpected.

We loved this rental. We booked at the last minute and was worried about not knowing anything about the property. We were nothing but pleased with the entire experience. Great location, great views, nice staff, clean. Loved having two beach chairs everyday without having to rent them. Will definitely be back!!

Overall was good. Bed way too soft though, was hard to even roll over and couch was super saggy. WiFi was very spotty. Property was extremely clean and management was friendly. Beach was perfect except for 1 day when a family was tossing glass bottles around, chain smoking, screaming and blasting music. The law was mentioned about glass on the beach, but the were belligerent and did not care. No one addressed it and many beachgoers left and went to the pool. Same family partied on their balcony late into the night. Other than that, great stay. We come every year.

Although we had one day of wind and rain, the entire week following Hurricane Irma held beautiful weather--warm and sunny. The beach chair staff as well as the entire staff of Holiday Surf and Racquet Club were professional and friendly. Thank you for a lovely (and much needed) vacation.

As a returning customer I continue to find the Holiday Surf and Racquet Club a great place to stay while working and vacationing in the Destin area. It is conveniently located to all the amenities of Destin and the Emerald Coast.
The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful.
A Great place.
