We enjoyed our stay here! The views were stunning and the condo was very clean. Our boys loved playing shuffleboard and racquetball when we weren't swimming. The complementary beach umbrella and chair service was ideal! We will miss watching the dolphins out on the balcony!

Had a great stay here! Our unit was clean, well equipped and recently updated. The only negative thing I can say about the unit was the outdoor furniture needs to be replaced. The wooden table and chairs are very unstable and the other chairs had rust. Didn’t impact our trip and would still stay in this unit again, would’ve just been nice to be able to utilize the balcony better.

Overall Comment
We really felt at home in this condo. It was very clean (I’m picky when it comes to cleanliness of condos), the furniture was comfortable, the condo was spacious and the decor modern and updated. The view from the balcony was amazing. The only thing I would suggest is better kitchen tools. We had to buy a pan to cook in as the one in the condo was in bad shape and food was burning. There is a really nice dry bar but no wine bottle opener. So a few more and nicer kitchen items would be good. Also some better tall chairs on the balcony. The two there are wooden and falling apart and the other chairs are so low you can’t see over the railing. The noise from the pool at night is a bit loud when sitting on the balcony But having said all that, we would most definitely stay here again as the negatives are only minor and we really enjoyed our stay there. With it being only 3 fights up we could use the stairs instead of the elevators which was really nice. We enjoyed the location of this condo as well as it is in a less busy part of Destin.

Overall Comment
We loved the unit. We’ve been coming for several years and had stayed at another unit each time in the past. Both equally beautiful but this one feels more roomy for some reason. It might be the light colors and beach feel to it. We really liked the location of the unit but it is near the end and will require quite a bit of walking if that is a issue. But it is right next to the stairs and was a quick exit to the parking lot. We already booked the unit again for next year.

We loved this unit and the view of the beach. Everything was clean and all furniture/ flooring/appliances looked new and were in excellent condition. Front desk staff were nice and quick to get us checked in.
This wasn't an issue for us, but may be for some. The condo does have an elevator so getting to the third floor was not a problem, but this particular unit is at the farthest end of the building from the elevator so be prepared to walk and make sure you grab a luggage cart. There are stairs right outside the room that are just as quick as walking back to the elevator, but not ideal when loading/unloading car, groceries, etc.
Response from Holiday Surf and Racquet Club
We are glad you enjoyed your stay. The arrowhead design of our striking building does make for a bit of a walk to end, but the expansive views make it worth it. We hope to see you again soon.

The description of the property was accurate including the layout and amenities. The staff was very accommodating to us "newbies". I would certainly recommend this property to anyone wanting to spend time in Destin Beach. We enjoyed playing cards with the "snowbirds" but wished there were more organized activities almost on a nightly basis. We went to Pensacola to the Aviation Museum and Lighthouse, enjoyed eating at McGuire's Irish Pub, La Paz Cantina and enjoyed the Native people's museum nearby.

Glad you enjoyed your visit. The Aviation Museum is outstanding. It is even better if you visit while the Blue Angels are practicing. Please come back soon.

We had a wonderful trip. The room was beautiful we loved everything about it. We did have a little problem with the toilet just not flushing properly but maintenance fixed it right away and was very nice and helpful. Also the owners were so upset that happen to us they sent us pizza and cheese sticks and pop which we thought was very very nice of them we appreciated it alot plus it was very yummy. The view is just gorgeous from the room. Perfect location close to everything. Room is very updated and i highly recommend staying here. We will definitely be back!

Overall a great place to stay! Location a little ways away from commercial areas if you don't have transportation, but otherwise good. We had an issue with the gate to let cars into the parking area which they didn't resolve during our time there. At one point we had to get out, go through the pedestrian gate and ask them to open it so we could park our car. A bit annoying as it was raining and we rang for service 3 times before getting out and telling them to open it up. Additionally we were told no pets are allowed on the property. We expected this and experienced pets on the grounds. Apparently this rule only applies to guests, not residents of the property. The terms and conditions make you think otherwise. During our stay we also had "house keeping" open our door while we were there. Our contract said there was no such service other than towel service from house keeping. Upon opening the door we asked what is going on? The lady said the front desk said we had a problem and to check on us. We did not have a problem or report one and the lady said she had the wrong room and left. A bit odd and also a bit disturbing. Everything else was great. Great location, beach front property, friendly staff, nearby restaurants, amenities and the view. We would go back.

Our stay in Unit 302 has been the favorite of our family. The unit is just as beautiful as the pictures with an even better view and walk to the ocean than imagined. There was plenty of space for the four of us and my baby niece, and we enjoyed being close to plenty of restaurants and the Harbor Walk. The only issue we encountered was our gate code. We were given a different code each day because the previous would not work. It finally worked on the last day, but it was a mess getting back into the property when we would venture elsewhere. All in all, we look forward to visiting again!

The condo is just gorgeous. It's beautifully decorated and fully stocked. The location is perfect. Beach access is amazing and a gorgeous pool is on property. The owner had a new pack-n-play in the condo with sheets and additional padding. It really was a nice touch. Our only complaint would be the mattresses were really too firm. We didn't get great sleep there. But given everything else, it was still a really nice place. We are already planning to come back next summer. :)
