As always, the condo associates are nice and so helpful. The lobby, grounds and unit were clean and beautiful. Unit 623 was beautifully decorated and the kitchen had most everything you could need. I've vacationed at HSRC every year for 15 years when I lived in New Orleans, and they seem to get better each time if vacation! The beach attendants were polite and nice, and of course the chairs and umbrella are so nice to have.

Beautiful place just too far from the elevator, the walk was just too much. I would love to stay again, but not that far from the elevator. I didn’t feel that

Hi there John, and thank you for your review. Our front desk has someone on property 24/7 for anything you may need. If you are low on kitchen supplies or they are not in good condition, just let the front desk know. If we do not have what you need in inventory, we will purchase the item. Also, we now have 3 tiers of pricing that is based on the upgrades of the particular unit. The unit you stayed in is a Premium unit, so it is a middle tier. For your next trip, the luxury units have the most updates and upgrades. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again soon!

This unit is ideally located if you want a full ocean view! The balcony was a lovely spot to enjoy our morning coffee or watch the thunderstorms roll in in the evening. The beds were very comfortable, and the furniture was nice and updated. The kitchen could use a frying pan and a cookie sheet, but was otherwise well-stocked. Holiday Surf in general is a great spot because if it’s quieter location and beach/amenities access. We will definitely stay here again on future Destin trips!

Sarah,
Thank you for being our guest. We are happy you had the chance to enjoy coffee in the morning while enjoying the views.

The room was very clean and nice! The weather was bad due to a tropical storm but Holiday Surf let us rent DVD's for the kiddos for free! Kitchen had all furnishings needed to cook. This is my second stay and I will be back. I do wish there was an indoor pool for when bad weather arrives.

Condo was nice. Cons: NO BEACH! Also when a 2 bedroom condo is rented for 4 adults there should be 4 beach chairs provided not just 2. If we wanted 2 more we had to pay $30 a day. I think we payed enough to get 2 more chairs provided.
Response from Holiday Surf and Racquet Club
Raynell,
Thank you for your feedback. We are expecting to have restoration done to the beach this fall. We do understand that sometimes the one set of complimentary beach chairs that we offer may not be enough but please keep in mind you can also bring chairs down to the beach. We do hope you were able to enjoy your stay and we hope to have the chance to host you again.

Our friends asked us why we would fly to Florida for a vacation when we live in California. Our family has been coming to the Holiday Surf and Raquet Club for 30 years and have loved every experience. I had always dreamed of bringing my grandchildren. So this year I fulfilled my dream. It was definitely worth it.

The view from the room was gorgeous. Staff nice as always. Not sure how well the “tag” system for chairs is working: same thing as placing towels to hold chairs- now you place a tag. Easier for the chair guys to see who’s belongs I guess. Disliked people setting up directly in front of said chairs that were not courteous to the view of chair holders. Families that spread out into personal spaces a problem, perhaps a sign posting rules / beach courtesies. We have been visiting Holiday Surf for about 10 years. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.
