“Unbelievable value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2011

people found this review helpful

Generally, you get what you pay for, but not with this place. The condo was larger than a hotel room, around 750 sf. It was super clean and stocked with every need: extra pillows, every imaginable kitchen need, books, etc. The other guests were super awesome. Laid backpeople looking to enjoythemselves. I expected rowdykids and there were none. 1st
row Beach setups were gone early,
but we got one every day but the
4th. There are units for sale and we're looking into buying one. I can't wait to go back!!! This is far and away the best Destin trip I've been on yet.

“Great family place”

We recently spend our spring break with the kids at Holiday Surf and Racket Club. We had a wonderful time. It is a very family friendly enviroment. Our boys loved it. Perfect place to bring the family. We stayed in Unit 711. Very nice two bedroom two bath unit with a great view of the swimming pool and beach. Can't wait to go back in the summer.

“Really good vacation spot for families great amenities wonderful location”

I would like to first say that the only reason that I ever write reviews on tripadvisor is because I have come to rely on what I hope are honest reviews on this site and I try to return the favor.

My husband and I stayed here two years ago on our anniversary trip. We were so pleased with the accomodations that we decided to bring our children here.

We always choose locations with full kitchens for our family trips so that we can save money on our eating expenses. The kitchen in this condo was well stocked and reasonably clean. A few dishes needed to be run in the dishwasher but we did that upon our arrival.
The view was wonderful and it was a quiet peaceful room to sleep in. It was confortable and the kids had good accomadations.
The pool was clean and uncrowded.
there is a computer in the lobby if one needs to utilize one and did not bring thier own.
The staff seemed friendly enough, however, our interaction with them was pretty limited.
There is a pay laundry on the fourth floor, there was no washer and dryer in our unit be that may be available others, i am not sure.

The master bedroom furnishings are a little dated but that didn't bother us at all. The bed was comfortable and the whole area was well kept. I felt comfortable with my family utilizing the space.

The grounds are well maintained and inviting.

“Great Long Weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2010

We decided to spend 9/30 - 10/4 at the Holiday Surf and Racket club . Thought that it was
a great value for the price, and they were offering a free night if you booked 4 night. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is an older complex but it is well maintained and right on the beach. We spent all day at the beach and hope to get back again.

“Just the place for a relaxing beach vacation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2010

The rates are very reasonable for the beachfront property. There was construction of a new seawall barrier that I am sure is a much needed upgrade. The only effect this construction had on the guest was walking around the construction site to the beach. No problem. The front desk staff was friendly and the laundry service employees went above and beyond always with a smile. We left some items in a drawer and realized many hours after we left Florida. The front desk staff sent it via UPS the next day. Thank you Holiday Surf for another excellent time to remember!
