WOW….what a great vacation at a great price! Our family was looking for a place to enjoy the beautiful beaches and found it at Holiday Surf. We stayed in Unit 117, and the arrangement worked perfectly. Our car with luggage and groceries was ten steps out our front door while the sandy white beach was 20 steps out our back... More

Coming up on our 26th year visiting Destin. This is our favorite of all the places we've stayed. The quite beach, access to the harbor, just wonderful. Love taking the water taxi, love our unit #119, love being on the first floor. Clean, friendly, just love it!!!

This is my second stay at Holiday Surf and I love it! We are still here one more day! Is it an older facility---yes somewhat---but each owner of the condos can decorate and update if they choose to. Some have, some have not. We are in 418 and it is very nice and clean. The view is great. The beach... More

We had 3 people staying in the one bedroom condo. Elevator is only on one side of the bldg so it can be a bit of a walk to your room from the elevator. Everything was fine but the furniture was not comfortable. We took turns sitting in the recliner. The pull out bed on the couch was brand new... More

We spent a week here for Spring break April, 2013. Condo was pretty good; built in 1974 but we go for the beach. The property is in a v-shape so all rooms appear to have an ocean view which was amazing! 2 issues: 1) lost about $50 worth of towels and toys from the beach. You get two chairs and... More

I took my three teenage children to Destin over spring break 2013 and stayed here due to a friends recommendation. The beach was fabulous, gorgeous, clean, safe and beach access was very good. The condo was clean and somewhat updated, i go to the beach for the beach not because the condo is swanky. It was adequate for what we... More

I have been staying here since the late 1980's. Although it is an older development it is clean and beach access is perfect. I will say that in years past Karen has always be great and helpful but I do not like that after so many years of renting that now they choose to keep the $300 "deposit" as a... More

My husband and I stayed at HSRC last year with our 3 year old. We stayed for one week and could not have asked for a better experience! The room was nicely furnished (we stayed in unit 120) and clean. The bed was comfortable. The most important thing to us was the pool and the beach. Both were outstanding! While... More

This is the second time we've stayed at HSR. The first time we rented thru the company on site--they were wonderful. This time we rented thru Holiday Isle rentals--- oh boy... I'm sure the company does a good job overall (you don't stay in business if you don't), but they certainly didn't put their best foot forward this time. Our... More

Thank you for taking the time to post your review regarding your recent stay. We take all guest feedback seriously. I am sorry to hear that your experience of renting through an outside company didn't meet your expectations. We do not manage all the rental condos in our building and because of that we have little control over those units.... More
