Holiday Surf and Racquet Club 319

Not the cleanest unit we have ever stayed in at the Holiday Surf and Racquet club. The unit was dated with exception of new sleeper sofas in the living room. Bed mattress was worn out and the sink is in the oddest spot of the kitchen. Not very nonfunctional. Make sure you bring extra towels and wash clothes because you will only a days worth of towels and wash clothes for entire stay. They have a linen exchange on Monday and Thursday, you must wash in between days. It cost almost $10 to wash and dry 2 loads of laundry. They housekeepers are very stingy with linens. Views were good and grounds were clean. I would probably return to the HSRC but wouldn't stay in 319 and would definitely bring extra linens.

End of April-early May might be the perfect time to head to Destin. It was for us. Temps were perfect throughout each day. The location was an easy walk or quick drive to our favorite eateries. We saw dolphins galore and even had one afternoon where sealife was on full display where we could see a wide variety of fish and birds, including a couple of small sharks (scary thought for most, but was actually quite fascinating since they were in the water, and we were out). Condo was very clean, updated, and has risen to the top of our "room to beat" for future stays. Staff was friendly, and quick to respond to a couple of minor needs at the outset of our stay.

Best vacation in a long time.

This is about the 15th time we have stayed here. We always return because of the value, the location and the cleanliness and beauty of the property

This rental was exactly as described. We had a wonderful stay (despite the rain for 2 days). Look forward to staying here again next year.

Long weekend get away

The staff was great. They were very helpful if needed. All the extras were a nice surprise.

Would recommend to anyone. Clean and great view.

Great visit. Condo was clean and updated. Great view from balcony. We will be back!

This unit was fine for just the 2 of us, it is tile throughout and desperately needs some rugs to offset the high humidity in the room and comfort of the unit. Patio table needs replaced, rusted out. Bed was comfortable. The room itself was humid, the new thermostat is hard to figure out for comfortable setting but we did not ask maintenance to show us how to use it. Kitchen fairly well equipped except needs some non-stick skillets/pans.

The description of the property was accurate regarding location, layout, amenities, etc. The overall property was clean and well maintained. We had a problem with the garbage disposal and it was repaired within the hour. The front desk was cheerful and helpful. Some of the furniture in our unit had a slight odor...possibly mildew from being sat on with wet clothes. We have stayed here off and on since 1989 and will probably do so again.

I had a wonderful time staying at holiday surf and racquet club.

RU319 is in need of many repairs and upgrades. We left a long list at the front desk, but forgot to mention: kitchen wall clock is broken, small bedroom chair seat is not attached, bedroom needs blackout drapes, mattress pad needs replaced with better quality pad, wall art needs replaced with brighter colors. Worst thing about the unit was the difficulty opening/closing the sliding screen door.

Enjoyed the unit as it was clean and the finishes were very pleasant. Workout room about half the equipment didn't work. Fortunately, the weather was great to be outside and walk.
