Room 701

Overall Comment
We are a small girls group of 5. We arrived at 3 and we're allowed our room right away. Loved that. Gated community, loved that. Staff amazing,loved that. The view of the water,loved that. Internet down for 1 day,understandable. Staff came to help next day,loved that. Carts at door for groceries,loved that. In overall we loved our stay. With that being said our room was dirty to the point of gross. There was a very large dark stain on the carpet coming from under the couch. When we opened the couch to make the bed the bed liner had brown stuff smeared all over it. There was crackers under on the floor. Some throw pillows also had brown smears. We had to call for a new bed liner. There wasn't one on hand so had to use a king size. I do feel if the carpet was better maintained and a better overall check of the room we would not have felt so harsh about the room.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that many aspects of your stay, from the early check-in to the beautiful view and helpful staff, met your expectations. However, we’re truly sorry about the cleanliness issues you encountered in the condo. This is certainly not the standard we strive for, and we’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Your comments are invaluable in helping us improve, and we hope you’ll consider staying with us again so we can provide you with a flawless experience.
Destin Does Not Disappoint

Our Condo was on the seventh floor and we had a fantastic view. The condo was very, very clean and met all our needs since you basically just use it to sleep and spend the day outside.. we did feel that it was in desperate need of updating both the furniture and different areas of the condo that needed touchup paint or new wallpaper in the bathrooms. The grout in the showers needed to be grouted. The icemaker did not work. There was no ironing board. All in all the unit was cool and comfortable, and we would stay at this facility again in the future however, we would request not to get this particular unit. There was A noticeable lack of decor, which would have definitely added to the aesthetic of the condo we appreciated the front desk personnel, who were very helpful. Enjoyed the free beach service, and the ability to rent movies.

Disappointment

Room 701 is in desperate need for renovation. The receptacles are separated from the wall and dangerous, the cabinets and doors are frayed at the bottom, the closet door is off in the guest bedroom, the mirrors have black circles, and the kitchen smelled terrible. I had to go to the lobby to get Clorox wipes and Lysol to clean it myself. However, we were very pleased with the overall resort itself. It was clean and very well maintained.

Holiday Surf has wonderful facilities. The unit itself was disappointing. Had to go buy a cable to try to get TV in master to work; still didn't (could only get one channel). Also no batteries in some of the remotes, no cable, very high pressure in the showers, broken ironing board.

Couldn’t ask for a better location and view. However, for the price of the unit... furnishings needed to be updated badly. Some living room furniture was horribly worn out. The bed sheets were rough and covered in fuzz balls with no extras available. Overall it was a good stay due to the location.

The room was very nice and my stay was relaxing. An excellent view of the beach. The balcony had 4 chairs and a table - it might be a tad crowded if you had 4 adults on there at one time. I would have liked a chaise lounge for relaxing/napping but I'm sure space was an issue.

Great property - only basic units with no extras
by Ashwaubenon WI
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
Expect just the basics in these units. Our units had not coffee or basic needs covered. Beds were not very comfortable and linens were clean but not nice. Pillows were thin and not comfortable. Unit is old with broken drawers. Clean but expect no extras.
If you like to cook you will not like the provided kitchen basics. Stove burns uneven. Peeler, knives and cookware worn and frustrating to work with.
Property facilities were kept up nicely. Staff was nice. Gym was big enough but needs some equipment updates and missing pieces to the cross cable system. Gym opens late.
Liked location of facilities that were far enough away from the crowds but close drive for grocery and other basics you need.

Desperately Needs Updating
by Athens AL
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall Comment
First, the location of the condo is superb. The views are amazing. Management company was top notch with easy check in and check out. That being said, though, the condo itself needs some serious TLC. The carpet is worn and stained. The furniture is mismatched. The equipment in the kitchen is just sad. Sometimes the coffee maker worked; sometimes it did not. Mismatched silverware, dishes, glass ware, etc. The view and location is absolutely worth $250+ per night. The interior, though, reminded me of what you'd find in a cheap motel. Our kids rented two other units, and they were beautiful inside. We will definitely return to HSRC, but we will find a different unit.

Could use some updating in furnishings and fixtures. Twin beds in the 2nd bedroom were placed in a position that makes it impossible to open the closet so be prepared to move the bed a little. A cost of paint, some counter tops and a few things could really help this place. But it has all you need for a fun week at the beach.

Beachfront Condo with Great View
by Lithonia GA
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall Comment
Easy access to the beach for my 2-year-old was my first priority for choosing this unit. The condo is right on the beach and has the most amazing if not the best view of the ocean. However, the unit is far from the elevator which made it inconvenient going all the way up to the top floor and around the perimeter of the building just to get to the condo. Though the condo has a great view of the beach and ocean, the condo is in need of renovation in decor and style. The Holiday Isle Beach Service attendant, Andrew I believe is his name, was wonderful. He made sure we were comfortable and adjusted our umbrella to make sure we were out of the sun. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Just make sure to get down to the beach early to reserve a chair and umbrella (by 8am). The property is close to the Destin Commons which has a good selection of restaurants and shopping stores. Traffic is a bit of a pain, we visited in June, which is a busy time even during COVID19 Pandemic. Overall it was a pleasant stay for my family.

4th of July at the beach
by Clarksville TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
We love Holiday Surf & Racquet Club. This was our 3rd time staying and I think we found our favorite room. 701 was spacious and clean. The view was amazing.
My only recommendation would be to have the owners install a pull down sprayer in the shower to help with bathing children, especially getting sand out of their hair.
Also it would have been nice if the front desk would have informed us that on the 4th you dont have to go anywhere except your balcony to see plenty of fireworks.
The location of the condo is perfect. There are so many close option to eat and shop. We recommend Mello Mushroom, Jim and Nick's, and Fudpuckers. Riding the go carts at The Track is a must as well.
Can't wait to schedule our next trip!!!

The location was ideal, close to restaurants & grocery stores and Condo #701 was right on the beach , a bit of a walk but worth the view. A few complaints about the condo itself, the twin beds in the second bedroom need to be replaced, they were awful. I would suggest replacing the hot water heater, there were 3 of us, by the third person there was no hot water. The property needs to have more luggage racks, there only 4 and the amount of people checking in, we had to wait 30 minutes. Other than that, it was awesome !!
