About the property

Welcome to the Beach!

Unit 203 greets you with a one-of-a-kind mural of the beach, painted by the owner. This mural stretches the length of the entry hallway. Other unique artwork is found throughout the unit.

You can experience breathtaking Gulf views while preparing dinner in the fully equipped kitchen which features granite countertops and new cabinets. A smiling whale and an interesting frog are part of the unique artwork you will enjoy throughout the rest of the unit.

As you enter the living room you will be greeted by a large carving of a crane. Cranes are prevalent in the area. It is possible you will see them during your stay here.

The sofa features a built-in charging spot for your phone and a chaise section with storage for the bedding for the queen-size sleeper. The headrests are adjustable for a lower or higher profile to suit your likes. By lifting up on the back the armless chair, it turns into a comfy chaise. A curious Pelican keeps a watchful eye over the painting of a rustic boat and the rest of the room.

Delightful pictures of children playing at the beach and on the bayou are bound to bring a smile as you relax in the light airy bedroom.

In the adjoining bathroom, wall hangings of a Volkswagen bus and an Adirondack chair bring back memories of times gone by.
Unit 203 completed new duct work in Spring of 2025 and replaced the AC unit as well as the hot water unit.


Unit 203 is located near the west end of the building, allowing you to relax in the shade in the late afternoon on your own private balcony which has a high patio table with swivel chairs. In the morning you will enjoy the breathtaking sunrises, along with wonderful Gulf and beach views.

Nearby stairs allow you quick access to the beach without waiting for an elevator - It is just steps away!

We know you'll say, "We had the perfect beach vacation."

Holiday Surf and Racquet Club unit #203 accommodates up to 4 people with a King bed and a Queen sofa Sleeper. It has just a 3 night minimum stay year round.

Don't forget all the wonderful amenities Holiday Surf has to offer - a great outdoor heated pool, Fitness room, Sauna, Tennis and Pickleball
Courts, and Shuffleboard with Free equipment rentals.

Complimentary Beach Service (March 1 - Oct 31) comes with 2 chairs and an umbrella and is available for you daily!

Did we mention - We are located on our very own white sand private Gulf beach. What more could you ask for the perfect vacation?!

Great beach front condo with an excellent view. Easy access to the beach. Central location to everything in Destin. Kitchen was well equipped with utensils, dishes, pots and pans and coffee pot. Everything was nice and clean. LOVE THE CHAIRS AND UMBRELLA on the beach!! Would definitely stay here again.

This is by far the best place we have stayed in Destin so far. We had a view of the beach from our balcony and the walk to the beach was very short and easy. The condo was nice and the staff were friendly. We will definitely try to come back!

What a Beautiful condo. We enjoyed the view of the Emarald green gulf from the balcony and saw dolphins every morning! The condo was very clean with comfortable furnishings. The beach chair service was a great bonus.
This unit on the second floor was next to the stairs just steps from the beach.
It was only a short drive to restaurants and activities.
The Holiday Surf and Racquet Club was very well maintained and safe.
We would definitely stay at this complex and this condo again.

Fruita CO

The unit was in a great location. Being closer to the beach made for a better view. But the unit could use a update. Lots of paint and caulking covering up holes and stuff on walls. Little bugs in the kitchen at night .. The balcony chairs weren't tall enough to see over the railing. Just little things. Overall I'd probably stay again if they fixed the bug problem.

Love Holiday Surf and Racquet; been coming here for over 20 years. Every condo has a few glitches and this is no different. Just a couple of things would improve this condo immensely. The couch is visible faded, stained in a few places and has horribly sunken cushions. Very uncomfortable. We had to sit in the upright chairs instead. The skillets are non-stick and are chipping, peeling which is unsafe to use. The kitchen utensils are somewhat lacking as well. We improvised to make eggs for breakfast. And the towels appear wonderful - big and fluffy, but when you use them they have a faint musky smell - time to replace or do some sort of treatment. These problems could be remedied fairly inexpensively. Maybe no one else has mentioned these issues and the owners aren't aware. Please know that I would return even with these issues. We do not expect perfection.

We were very pleased with the location of our condo # 203. We had the warm morning sun and a beautiful view of the beach and gulf. The “beach boys” were very friendly and courteous as was the rest of the staff. The beach umbrella and chairs were the best! The condo was very roomy but we thought the furniture could be updated. The bed was very comfortable. The only negative was there were a few small bugs that came from under the refrigerator. I reported it at checkout and I’m sure it will be taken care of. Overall we would recommend Holiday Surf and Racquet Club.

Loved the location of the complex & the unit itself. We have the view of the tennis courts (in good condition)& of the gulf. Kitchen has the necessary utensils one needs; adequate bath towels. Cons: bed was on the firm-side; felt like I was sleeping on the floor. Couch looked & felt worn out. Not a deal-breaker for us but considering this is a Racquet Club complex we expected Tennis Channel to be available, especially since BNP Paribas was on that week.

North Richland Hills Tx

This was our second time at this facility. Staff was very nice and helpful. Our room view was outstanding, however our room was not as nice as our previous stay. The room furnishings are outdated and seating is uncomfortable. Bed was very comfortable. The bathroom needs special attention. Mold/mildew was visible in tub/shower. The toilet was continuously running, but maintenance took care of that. I attempted to fix myself, but when I took the top off the tank the underside of lid was totally covered in mold. Toilet had to be flushed twice on occasion. The mirror in the bathroom had toothpaste splashed on it. Balcony furniture has screws falling out of it and paint peeling and visibly worn. We looked at another 1 bedroom for future renting and it was obviously in much better shape. We will be back, but 203 won't be in our future.

This was a great location on the beach with great views. The condo was fairly clean and plenty of room for two people. Would not recommend sleeping on the couch as it is very uncomfortable and worn out. The other con is that there isn't any ventilation in the bathroom, so it gets very steamy and hot when taking a shower. Overall it was a decent place for two people.

good place to stay

Athens AL

5.0

Overall, this was a good place to stay. The room was a perfect size for my husband, myself, and my 11mo son. I wouldn’t recommend the room for 4 adults. The bed was very comfortable and slept well. The couch was uncomfortable but I cannot comment on the pull out bed. The hot water heater is very small so you cannot take showers back to back unless your showers are 5minutes long or less. The view from the room was great. It was far enough away from the pool that the noise from that was not annoying/overpowering. The walk to the beach was nice and short which is great when you’re carrying way too much stuff down to the beach. If we came back to Destin we would stay here again. Most of the staff was very friendly but I did have one encounter where the staff looked confused and annoyed that I was standing at the front desk waiting to ask a question. But again, this was only one instance.

The building and amenities were amazing! Amazing views - great access to the beach - the property was very well maintained, pool was excellent and tennis courts in great condition. We lived having the chairs and umbrella ready for us each morning! The actual condo we chose was not so great. It was very dated; not super clean; and the furniture was worn and not comfortable. The patio deck chairs were not comfortable and they were super cheap. I would stay at this resort again but not in this particular unit.

Bun was we walked down to the park across from the harbor and watched the fireworks the last night we were there! We will definitely be back!

Better than we expected from pictures. We thought condo would be old and dated but since it was a last minute booking we kept our expectations realistic. We were surprised kitchen was updated and it looked like floors were recently done too. Unit location was very convenient because we didn't have to go in the main building to use the elevator.

Condo perfect for R&R. Very quiet! Tastefully decorated. Beautiful view of the Gulf! 2nd floor convenient to stairs.
Destin has everything for the beach goers. Holiday Surf has the best staff.
The only draw back is uncomfortable lounge chairs at the beach. However, I shouldn’t complain for two chairs and an umbrella comes with the rental of the condo!
Already planning my next vacation there! Love it!

This was the 1st time staying at Holiday Surf. I was extremely pleased overall, the unit was exactly to the pictures and description as on the website. The location was minutes away from shopping, restaurants, grocery needs. They only downside to this unit and some others that I noticed, were that the balcony was fully screened in as opposed to being open. Check in was fast and efficient, staying on the 2nd floor towards the end of the complex made it a breeze to get down the steps and out to the boardwalk to the beach. Booking through Holiday was also a plus since during certain months they supply a beach set up with chairs and umbrella. Prices were very affordable taking into consideration that we went on a holiday weekend

We have been staying here for about 30 yrs now and always have a wonderful experience. We will be rethinking our stay next year due to the new rules. I completely understand no smoking in the room, but no smoking on the beach under my umbrella???? If people are allowed to play their loud boom boxes and disturb me then I shouldn't have to get up out of my beach chair and walk to a smoking area. With the increase in rates, I am not paying to be on vacation and not be able to relax. it is the beach for goodness sake and yes that is a big deal!

Unfortunately, we picked the week that tropical storm cindy decided to show up. Since we were paid in full and it was less than 10 days out we found out about the storm we went anyway. The room was great and the staff was great. I'd just recommend you to get insurance due to the 10 day cancellation policy.
