Spent the week after Christmas 2011 in the HSRC in Destin. Overall a very nice property. Our condo was on the sixth floor, with a screened balcony. All the units have ocean view. Nice with everything you need for a relaxing week. SInce we were there in a true "off" week, the facility and town were not crowded at all.... More

We really had no issues at all. The place was quiet and right on a beautiful beach - it just doesn't get any better than that especially for the prices at HSR. We rented through Holiday Isle Properties which led to our only gotcha - most HSR rooms come with the fees built in for an umbrella and chairs but... More

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... More

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... More

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... More

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... More

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... More

Holiday Surf and Racquet Club use to be a fun place. Now the staff appears miserable, which I was told by a young lady, was primarily the result of the Board of directors receding the first raise the staff had received in 3+ years and not explaining why. Although the staff was helpful and was not by any means rude,... More

Holiday Surf & Racquet Club is a much different place since this review was written back when we were recovering from storm damage in Feb of 2010. Thanks to the hard work of our staff the place looks and feels great! Our people are friendly, helpful and have been serving our customers and making memories for years. We changed management...
