If you are going with someone that can’t do a lot of walking or just want to be very close this Is the unit for you! Very close to the Jetty’s close walk down the Beach! And close to the Harbor walk & Crab Island! This is the best place to stay in Destin IMO!

Two bedroom, two bath ground floor condo with easy, direct access to the beach. Fully equipped kitchen, Harwood look, luxury vinyl flooring, updated bathrooms. The decor was not my taste but (plush sofas and sand and beach not a good mix) but it was nice. Looked like the unit had also been recently painted. The king bed was very firm, which I like but if you like a softer bed, just be aware. Lots of extra king pillows, which was also nice. We loved our stay and would recommend both Holiday Surf and this unit.

Reviewer Comments:
This was our third year at Holiday Surf and Racquet Club as we love the location and have been pleased with the condition of the property. However this year upon arrival we found our condo dirty and in need of owner attention.The kitchen counters were not wiped down as it was sticky and covered with crumbs. The ice maker leaked into the refrigerator, the coffee maker was broken, and the broiler did not work in the oven.We had to mop the entire condo by hand as the floors were dirty. When we turned on the vacuum cleaner it smelt like the motor was burning. On further investigating we found that the bag had been taken out and the vacuum had been run without a bag. Needless to say that tells me housekeeping isn't running a vacuum. Upon check-in we filled out the sheet annotating any damages we found upon entry which were a broken lamp and a loose toilet paper holder. The following day a young maintenance man came and picked up the broken lamp and then he decided to move the paper holder and towel rack which left two holes in the wall. We asked for them to be repaired before our midmonth guest arrived however they never were. Both bathrooms are out of date and need attention. Overall we were very surprised at the degradation of this condo compared to others we have stayed in. What we did love about 119 was the location, easy access to the beech, courts and pool. While the pictures look nice this unit needs some TLC. During our staff there was a great deal of maintenance work going on however there were several things we noticed that were not getting done as they have in the past. The sidewalks were never swept on the ground level the entire month. There was a great deal on the walks that could have easily been blown away each morning by HSRC maintenance. The swimming pool was not kept clean like it has in the past.

Great property in a great location. Condo was beautifully appointed with everything provided for an enjoyable stay. Beachfront was perfect.
This condo is great. The very short walk to the beach sold it for me. We never could get the TV in the living room figured out(1 remote did not have batteries)- may consider updating the notebook in the condo to include instructions for that TV. The updated decor is very nice. The location of this condo is right in the middle of all the great activities of Destin but is quiet Due to the condo facing the gulf. Will definitely recommend this place.

Thank you for staying with us at Holiday Surf & Racquet Club. We really appreciate your feedback. At Holiday Surf & Racquet Club we care deeply about our guest quality of stay. We are sorry to hear that the mattresses were uncomfortable for you. Mattresses sometimes can be hard to measure for comfortability because some guests prefer a firmer or softer mattress. We will be sure to look for more comments concerning the mattress to see if this issue is consistent and hopefully that will help us determine how we can address this issue. You are a valued guest and we do hope to have the chance to host you again.

Love the location and beach! However, it was time for the unit furniture to be replaced. The sofa was hard and it was like sitting on a bed frame. The master suite bed was sleeping in a V. Being a king size bed, you would think it would be big enough. Time to replace! Also, only 2 wash machines worked on 4th floor and 2 driers. Sooo frustrating. Loved the kitchen, 2nd bedroom, and dinning room.
