The property was really cute and well maintained. Checkin was easy and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Beach service was very much appreciated. Will look for a first floor unit next time. The walk to the beach is a little long for senior citizens depending on where your unit is.

Rental unit was superb with only one exception....the handle on the pantry door across from the island in the kitchen is a railroad spike. It needs to be changed because it protrudes into the walkway to the living room area and can cut or bruise your elbow or arm if you're not careful walking past it.

Beautifully renovated condo; it is a spacious unit, has very comfortable furniture/beds, and a million dollar view. You will not be disappointed if renting this unit.

The room and view was amazing. This is by far the best room we have stayed in at this location. Will be returning soon to this room. We did have an issue with the bed in the master bedroom but guest services had it repaired quickly. The two things I would say needs updating about this room is the showers need detachable sprayers. Sand does not wash off little ones easy. The room needs a cordless hardfloor vacuum. I like to keep our unit tidy while staying and it is impossible to get all of the sand from the floor. Other than that this room is perfect. Two king size beds with two bathrooms.

The location of the property is outstanding. The view is incredible. The beach is beautiful. 5 years of annual visits has been extraordinary. The one place of improvement is the staff and overall communication. Lost reservation turned out to be a misspelled last name. after 20 minutes of trying to figure out where the beach wheel chair rental it turned out to be in the office less than 100' away from check in. Staff needs to be problem solvers instead of problem creators. All in all we would come back again.

We’ve been renting at HSRC for 20 years. They never fail us. Always a great place.

I almost don't want to tell you about how great this place is because I want to keep this gem all to myself. Truly, we had a magical vacation in this property, and I can't wait to come back. I kept waiting to find something wrong with the place, but there isn't. The property was very family oriented, and has direct beach access. The unit is perfectly appointed, with tupperware, wonderful fridge, all the appliances you need. Water pressure was perfect. Beds were comfortable. When we had an issue with the cable, the maintenance crew was up within hours to fix. Free DVD rentals on property, the elevators were quick. There's laundry on the same floor as this unit for longer stays. We were right at home, and you will be too!

We spent two months in this unit. It is nicely updated. Kitchen had everything we needed, even new containers for leftovers which was really appreciated. Great view and lots of afternoon sun on the balcony. We booked it for two months next winter already. Great place to stay!

The condo was very well furnished with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The pictures were true with what we saw when we entered. The unit has a nice balcony with a great beach view. We will return for sure - enjoyed our stay.

My family loved our stay. A key criteria was a good view of the ocean and we had it. Surprisingly, the waves were even relatively loud from the balcony and open window! The building is older, but the maintenance and remodeling have been top notch. Desk workers and other guests were friendly. We will hopefully be back.

The farmhouse decor was nice. However, the paint was peeling from the guest bathroom and the exhaust vans didn’t work in either bathroom. This was reported to the from desk in our inspection report. The exterior of the building and the common areas are not very clean.

This was our fourth stay at Holiday Surf and Racquet Club and was just as great as the others. The guest check-in/lobby area could use some upgrades, but overall property amenities are very good.

Love staying on Holiday Isle! Have stayed at a few other rental properties on the Isle but this is the best! The unit we stayed in was very tastefully decorated with beautiful furnishings! Access to the beach is easy! The pool and pool area always nice and clean! Tennis courts and shuffleboard courts look top notch but did not play! Would definitely recommend!

November is the perfect time of year to visit. Not too hot on the beach and not cold! No crowds and the weather was perfect! The seashells were plentiful and the views were beautiful! The condo itself was pristine. Extremely clean and beautifully decorated! This is the only place we will stay from now on when we visit Destin now!

Great overall experience with condo staff and unit itself. Check-in was right at 4 pm. We arrived early but room was ready. Gave us time to grocery shop. The proximity to ocean is great. There are 2 elevators servicing the building. The 1 major knock is no in-unit washer/dryer. They are by elevators on every other floor. Good for us they were on the 6th floor where we stayed. The unit is newly renovated and looks great. 2 master beds and 1 queen blow up. Also a lot of couch space that could easily sleep 3 more people. The amenities were great. Pool, tennis, shuffle board, movie rentals for the kids on the 1 rainier day. We’d certainly stay in same unit again

I have been staying at HSRC for over 7 years. I have always enjoyed staying there. I was a little disappointed this year. First was our delayed check in. We were unable to check in until almost 5:30, even though we arrived around noon. In the past the staff has been really good about getting us in our room before the check in time when we arrive early. The most disappointing thing was being told we couldn't set up canopies on the beach. I have always been courteous and set up behind everyone. We had 10 people in our group and needed the shade. This would be a deal breaker for me staying there in the future. I pay a lot of money to stay there, and there is plenty of beach to allow for canopy set up. I result hope this changes before I come back, because I would really like to stay there in the future.

Our condo was perfect! It was clean and supplied with all necessities. We had a beautiful view of the ocean. All the furniture and beds were very comfortable. Even the outside deck furniture was comfortable. The location was quiet but convenient to shopping and restaurants. My only complaint would be the weather because it was cooler than I would have liked but I realize no one has control of the weather!

We had a great stay at the Holiday Surf & Racquet Club for spring break this year. Our unit was exceptionally clean and decorated beautifully. We appreciated the comfortable furnishings and the high-end finishes throughout the condo. One suggestion would be to provide instructions for how to use the TVs and DVD player. My husband almost had a heart attack not being able to figure out how to turn it on for the NCAA tournament. But we called maintenance and they responded VERY quickly and were able to get us set up in time for tip-off.
The beach area is stunning, and the heated pool was very nice in the mornings while it was still a bit too cool for the beach. The DVD rentals in the lobby were a great touch for evening entertainment for the kids, as well. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at the HSRC again and would definitely stay in unit 618 again, as well!

Our family has always loved Holiday Surf and Racquet Club. So even when we moved to California, we returned with children and grandchildren. Both of the condos we had were very nice but the people are the game changer. From the helpful people at the front desk to Scott on the beach, they all did their best to make our trip memorable. We will be back!!

Overall experience was good. It did take the refrigerator about 24 hrs. to get really cold. We called maintenance about it but they never showed up so since it eventually got cold we did not call back. The unit needs some updating, the blinds have slats missing and the tub grout was discolored. Otherwise, we would return to Holiday Surf and Racquet Club.
