Great location and nice rooms. Yes, the building has some age to it but it's nicely maintained. The building is very clean. There are people that live at the condos full time while the other condo units are rented out to us vacation people. We needed the dishwasher fixed and it was done within the hour. The staff is very... More

We have been going to Destin for 25 years. We had always stayed on the very busy Crystal beach. After staying at HSRC I have to say it was like we were visiting Destin for the first time. Obviously we were very familiar with the ins and outs of Destin, but this place in a best kept secret. The beaches... More

I just returned from my first trip to the Destin area & found the HSRC to be a perfect place. The quality of the resort was very nice-very clean. The pool area was well stocked with abundant seating as well as the beach area is rather wide versus an area not 200 feet down the beach that is narrow with... More

This is not a spot to take your family too. The quality of the room does not surmount to the cost that they are asking for. This place is operated by gready and rude staff that do not grasp the meaning of qualify customer service. My advice find a place that is worth the money and the employees treat you... More

Disagree very strongly with the review that did not like new management. Having spent two months this year at the Holiday Surf and Racquet, I would like to say the well maintained and cleaniness of the club is due to the new management. During two months , the staff always seemed upbeat. We saw ;many encounters with the wonderful people... More

My family just returned home from Destin. This was our first time staying at the Holiday Surf & Racquet Club. We LOVED it! I would absolutely recommend it to any family. I love that we had a chance to check out rooms before reserving, I have young children and was glad I could be sure our condo seemed pretty kid... More

This is our third time staying here. We really enjoy this place. The staff is exceptional. They have tennis courts, a great beach. It is simply beautiful. I also like how everything is close so you don't have to drive a lot once you're here. Great restaurants & fun stuff to do. More

Wonderful place. Very well maintained. Staff are extremely helpful and personable and treat guests like family every year they return. My family would never stay anywhere else. Only complaint is the new management. The employees that have been there for years are still wonderful and exceed expectations. Will bend over backwards in order to please guests, all with a smile...

I am sorry that is the impression you took away from here. Our focus at Holiday Surf & Racquet Club is to be the "Best on the Beach" and we are working hard to do that. Our employees are great, the improvements and changes we have made over the last year are a direct result of all of us working... More

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
