This was my family’s first trip to Destin and my youngest daughter’s(7) first ever beach trip! We arrived around 12:30 knowing we likely couldn’t check in until 4 or so. We were greeted well and check in was easy! We were able to go ahead and take the kids down to the beach while we waited for our unit to be ready. We were in our unit by 4:15 and it did not disappoint! 605 was beautiful and very clean! Great view of the beach and ocean. We loved being able to go out each morning and evening and listen to the waves and dolphin watch. The beach chair service was great also! It was nice not having to worry with carrying our own chairs. Overall, we had a wonderful time and plan to be back soon!

We greatly enjoyed our time in Destin. Early May was quiet, and the temps were perfect! The unit was clean and well maintained with updated bathrooms and kitchen. If you like to cook a lot, the kitchen may not be stocked with enough pots/pans, but we made do. We enjoyed how conveniently located the property is to restaurants, shopping, and being able to walk to the jetty and snorkel beach. We would love to return!

We had a great stay! The condo was spotless when we got there. We were so pleased with front desk service and just how friendly everyone was. Having the chair and umbrella service everyday was so nice. Made the mornings very easy. The condo looked even bigger and better in person than the pictures. We were very happy with the condo, the location, the people, everything was great! We were there with our three toddlers and everything was perfect for them to! The second bedroom has plenty of space for two pack and plays to be set up even with the two beds already in there. It was great!

We absolutely loved this condo. Perfect for our family with 2 boys. They were able to play tennis, shuffleboard, and the pool without leaving the property. The beach chairs were phenomenal as well since we didn’t have to worry about carrying ours. Dolphin watching every morning and evening was a success. The condo was updated and very clean. My husband and I joked we would miss the comfortable king size bed. Staff was very professional and the reservation process was smooth. I can’t say enough good things about our stay. We will be back!! Highly recommend!!!

And my family has been vacationing at Holiday Surf And Raquet club since it was built in 1973. Our condo had been beautifully renovated and nicely appointed. My husband and I appreciated having a king bed, and our children really liked having a double bed for our oldest son and a twin bed for our daughter in the second bedroom. Our other son used the couch in the den, but he didn’t use it as a fold out bed. He thought the couch was comfortable enough to sleep on as is using the provided sheets and blankets. The design of the resort really can’t be beat. It is a V-shaped building with a pool with a very large pool deck, followed by two tennis courts, and adjacent shuffleboard, followed by a boardwalk to the beach. Every single room has a balcony with gorgeous views of the beach. In the walk from the beach to the jetty is the perfect distance! Also, we love Holiday Isle and it’s location in the middle of town!!

Over all it was a great. Condo was nice except for the small bedroom it was hard to get around with the two bed. It would be much better with a queen size bed. You couldn't get into the closet very easy. Love that it was close to the beach.

The condo was very clean & all that we needed was provided. The kitchen was equipped with anything one needed to cook. The king size bed was comfortable. I loved the balcony looking out over the ocean. We sat out every morning for coffee & every evening after dinner. The sound of the surf was very relaxing. We were blessed with beautiful weather the entire time, so we spent a lot of time on the beach. The umbrellas & chairs were set up early every morning. I went down early & staked our claim on an umbrella in a great location on the beach. The sand is Snow White on the beach, & the water was beautiful. We saw dolphins most, but not every morning. I loved watching the seagulls & pelicans flying over the beach. All in all, it was a very relaxing stay,& I would stay at the same rental if I returned to Destin.
