Very good location/right on the beach. Umbrellas, chairs placed along the beach for relaxing. Courteous hotel and beach personnel. Nice room. Big bed. Decent small kitchen/stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, glasses, dishes, silverware, etc. TV in bedroom and living room. Shower only, no bath tub, but nice bathroom. Our room was quiet/7th floor. Good view of beach and ocean (dolphins swimming by).

We enjoyed our stay at 706. The unit was perfect for the 2 of us on our 25 year anniversary. The balcony was great. The rockers were fantastic. Loved sitting and listening to the waves. Unfortunately, I wasn’t feeling well that week, but we still enjoyed the time. WiFi we were given at checkin was wrong. TV was not working, so someone came up and had to switch TV to match the box. That seemed like something that should have been already taken care of prior to us arriving. The situation was resolved quickly. The front desk staff had replied to a couple texts, but then the communication stopped. We would return!

We spent 2 weeks at the Surf and Rackett Club. This was our second stay there. Both times we had a very nice unit. They were attractive, location great, the beach was beautiful, clean, and the dolphins gave a daily show. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. This would be the best place in or after late April or May or anytime if you don’t mind temperatures below 44-65 degrees and some do not. Again the units themselves are the best.

Our Honeymoon 2022
by Manchester KY
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
We were very pleased with our stay at Holiday Surf and Racquet. We stayed in room 706. It was beautiful! The pictures on the website do it no justice. We spent 6 nights here for our honeymoon and was very pleased with the location and how clean the property was. We were very impressed with the walkways down to the beach. Our only disappointment was the fact that you are given a tag for your beach service chairs and you have to go down before 7am every single morning to reserve a chair on the front row. with us being on vacation it would be nice to rest a morning or two instead of racing to the beach for a chair. All other places we have ever stayed, you get a tag and you tag your chair on day one and that is your chair for the remainder of the week so this was a bit of a surprise to us.

Hi Humbert,
Thank you for staying with us at Holiday Surf & Racquet Club. We are happy to hear that you were satisfied with your stay. We are unsure what extra fees you were referring to in your guest review. If you booked directly through our website all fees are stated and there are no extra fees unless you get extra beach service. I do hope this helps.

The condo was decorated in a soothing decor and the view from the private balcony was spectacular. Overall the condo was very nice and all extremely clean. I was disappointed that the A/C would not go below 72 degrees and being the property was managed by the owner we had to purchase umbrella and chairs that were not included with the room price (56.00/day). I would stay there again, however, it just would have been nice to know that fact in advance.

Hi Kimberly,
Thank you for staying with us at Holiday Surf & Racquet Club. We really appreciate your feedback. Any unit managed by Holiday Surf & Racquet Club does come with one complimentary beach service set for the duration of a guest's stay. If an extra set is needed then the guest would pay for the extra set. At the time of your stay, you did let us know about your friends that stayed in a unit that wasn't managed by us on the 7th floor. Guest that book rentals that aren't managed by us, unfortunately, would have to pay for beach service. We are sorry for any confusion. You are a valued guest and we would love to host you again.

Even though there was a lot of construction going on, it was still very nice. They kept everyone very informed of what was going on each day.
Still a little nervous riding the elevators. They’re very old & make a lot of strange sounds. One day they weren’t working at all..... had to walk up 7 flights of stairs. ��

Great view beautiful beach and beach set up was great. Unit was perfect for the two of us. Better equipped than expected with beach items - umbrella, chairs, board, sand molds, etc. Of course the provided set up by HSRC was all we needed but the extras were there. Kitchen had a few minor issues with older cabinets that did not affect our stay but we also understand owners are in the process of replacing. Sink had a seal leak upon arrival. Reported to management, went out to eat, upon return sink had been repaired and was fully functional. Very fast response for repair that needed to be done ASAP! Kitchen was well equipped with dishes/pots/pans/utensils. Coffee pot & toaster. Very comfortable bed. We had everything we needed for a comfortable relaxing vacation.

Great place to stay. The beach is so nice, well kept. Love that they have their chairs and umbrellas laid out so everyone gets a view. Room and view were perfect. Nice pool area. Great location Only complaint is they only had 2 washing machines and linen exchange 2 days a week. Everytime I tried to use the laundry the machines were was impossible to have clean towels the entire time with little kids in the sand all the time, which is a little gross.

Disappointed
by Thomasville AL
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall Comment
Last year, we stayed in unit 703 and absolutely LOVED it. This year, 703 was not available for our dates so we settled with unit 706. This unit did not meet our expectations. Of course, the view is fantastic but the bed was extremely uncomfortable. We even chose to sleep on the sofas our 3rd night. The first day, the shower rod and curtain fell while showering. Also, the shower drain does not drain. Unlike unit 703 (our favorite unit), 706 has nothing complimentary in the kitchen like coffee - it is the bare minimum. I would not recommend unit 706 to anyone and will not be returning. I encourage you to check out unit 703!!

Excellent in every way

Unit 706 was perfect for my husband and me. Very clean and everything in working order. Appreciated the starter products (like paper towels, TP, etc). Balcony view is very very nice. With just one bathroom, having the full capacity of 4 may be an issue. It's a little hike from the elevator, but carts are available to help you move in/out. We were there during peak rental times and still never had a long wait for the elevators. A huge plus for renting from HSRC is the included beach service (2 chairs and umbrella every day). Go early (7am-8am) and you will have a good choice of which to reserve. Just tag your umbrella and it's yours all day. Come and go as you please. Loved it.

Duuuude, wheres my beach chairs
by Avon IN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall Comment
We were told at the time of booking and at check in that we would be able to claim beach chairs and umbrella by using tag system. When we get down to the beach day 1, all chairs and umbrellas are tagged, although a good half of them were unoccupied. Guests were clearly claiming their spots then not using them. Guys on the beach would not make new spots. The next morning my wife goes down early in the morning to claim a spot and the beach guys are nowhere to be found, so she claimed a spot on her own. When we went back down the spot was gone ( apparently it was an owner spot unmarked by anything but different color umbrellas ). Beach kid was rude as **** to my wife. Asked for additional toilet paper ( started with 2 rolls for a 5 day stay ) was told I can go to Winn Dixie and get more. Couch was dirty and had random brown stains.
On a positive note the front desk staff were incredibly patient and helpful

This rental was clean and adequate in bath and kitchen. The art was old and cheap but that's ok with me. However, the carpet felt dirty! The sofa and loveseat were old and dirty. It seemed so concerning that I put the extra sheets over it to feel comfortable sitting on it! There was a leak by the patio door that made the carpet squishy wet and the water was never vacuumed during our 4 day stay. We love this property and have visited many times. This unit was very disappointing.
