About this property

STUNNING GULF FRONT VIEW!

Recently remodeled, Unit #419 is a top renting unit at Holiday Surf, and it sits right on the beach. Enjoy your morning coffee on your private balcony while you take in stunning views of the beautiful white sand beach and emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. At sunset, listen to the hypnotic sound of the waves as you sip a glass of wine on the steps of the boardwalk.

Features of this cute little condo include a new kitchen with white shaker-style cabinets and granite countertops, breakfast bar, new appliances and adjoining dining area with dry bar. You'll love the beachy, wood-look tile in the main living areas and the new La-Z-Boy queen-size sleeper sofa with two matching recliners in the living room. You'll get a great night's sleep on the king-size bed in the master. For the little person in your family, you'll find a twin-size cot with bedding in the closet. The bathroom has plenty of extra storage, granite countertop and new vanity.

Never miss that big game with HD Cable and the SEC Channel in the living room! Complimentary high-speed WiFi is also included. There is a 42-inch HD flat screen in the living room and a 32-inch HD flat screen TV in the bedroom. Both TVs come with a DVD player and a nice selection of vintage DVDs.

Walk out the back door of the building to the private beach - no parking lots or streets to cross.

REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR BEACH TOWELS!!! THESE DAYS, IT IS PROBABLY ALSO ADVISABLE TO BRING A COUPLE ROLLS OF TOILET PAPER AND/OR A ROLL OF PAPER TOWELS.

Laundry facilities are conveniently located just a few steps down the hall, right on the same floor. Enjoy the heated pool, lighted tennis courts, pickle ball courts , exercise facilities and sauna on-site. Nearby activities include windsurfing, parasailing, snorkeling and deep sea fishing.

CANCELLATION POLICY: Travelers who cancel at least 30 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel between 14 and 30 days before check-in, they'll receive a 50% refund; otherwise, there will be no refund.

We will do our best to work with you.

Holiday Surf & Racquet Club is located on Holiday Isle, a quiet peninsula situated between the Gulf of Mexico and Destin Harbor, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Highway 98, yet still conveniently located near area family attractions and great dining experiences in and around the Destin Harbor area.

Here are a few nearby restaurants that we’ve tried and really like - in no particular order:

1. Dewey Destin's Harborside Restaurant

2. Boshamps Seafood and Oyster House

3. Marina Cafe (Destin’s “most awarded” restaurant)

4. Harbor Docks - a local favorite with an interesting "Thai" take on some dishes.

5. AJ’s - In addition to their restaurant and bar, AJ's also has a great party boat - you'll be singing YMCA like the Village People on your way back to the harbor. Seriously.

6. Margaritaville - They have gluten-free burger buns for those with issues who still enjoy a burger now and then.

7. McGuires Irish Pub - Great food, open late, and have their own micro brewery. Hubby says it might possibly be the best beer he's ever had. People rave about their steaks and prime rib. I love their corned beef and cabbage. O.M.G.!

8. The Donut Hole (we LOVE this place for breakfast). Outstanding donuts and desserts; check out the dieter's special (which we refer to as a heart attack on a plate - but OMG! It is delicious!!). The lines get long here for breakfast; takeout will be quicker.

9. Bric a Brac - Word from one of our guests is that the new Bric a Brac restaurant right there on Holiday Isle is a must see. According to the website there is great food and jazz on the weekends. Can't wait to try this one out!

10. The Back Porch - This is a local favorite, and right on the beach. Gluten-free options available. Best drinks in Destin. Hands down!

11. Pompano Joe's - The Travel Channel has featured Pompano Joe's as the ultimate beach shack and one of the world's best beach restaurants. Gluten-Free options available. Also right on the beach. Beach volleyball, anyone?

There are many, many other restaurants and steak houses - pretty much any food and price range you could imagine.

The condo is located close to Target, Winn Dixie grocery store, liquor store, the nail salon...

So many things to do at the Harbor. So much fun! Zipline, deep sea fishing charters, sunset wine cruise, dolphin cruises, parasailing - you name it! There are also a number of great bars and restaurants and small shops.

Big Kahuna's Water Park is located about 2 miles east of the condo. The kids will love it.

Great shopping at the Silver Sands Outlet Mall!

LINEN/HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE: Our unit will be cleaned to quality standards prior to your arrival and after your departure. Coin-operated laundry facilities are located on the fourth and sixth floors of the resort. The condo will be stocked with a STARTER SUPPLY of trash liners, toilet paper, bath soap and dishwasher soap.

This condo has a 3-night minimum stay.

Great place

The location is amazing. My only concern was the the rusted beach equipment that was available to use and there was a dead roach under the bed which I found because I lost my 2 yr old sock. Other than that the place was pretty clean and was what we expected. Thanks

Perfect getaway!

Loved the location of the property and the ease of getting to the beach. The common areas were centrally located and we never had an issue finding a close parking spot. I appreciated there were plenty of trash cans and two dishwasher pods provided, as well as liquid dish soap.

Great rental ON the beach

Description of property is accurate in listing. Cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. It was spotless. Paint, appliances, furniture: all in great shape. Would 100% stay again! Communication with owner top notch. Cold AC, hot shower, comfy beds. An adult used cot mattress on the floor & was very comfortable. Good sized bedroom closet with hangers. Big dresser & 2 nightstands with drawers. Kitchen had everything we needed. Nice cutlery. Good icemaker. Beach is just feet from back of the building and not too crowded (mid-July) You can rent beach equipment, like paddleboards from the reception area in the lobby. There are 2 outdoor showers on the boardwalk and a few foot washing hoses that were so convenient. Property: Laundry cost is $2.50 per machine, takes card or coins, closes at 10pm. Smoking is permitted only in smoking area. No smoking on balconies. There were a lot of luggage carts and shopping carts. There was plenty of parking. Tips: Bring extra garbage bags, paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher tabs, bath towels if you use hair and body towels, extra blankets if cold-natured. Would recommend bringing some over the door hooks to hang bath towels, swimsuits, etc. There are no hooks in the hallway or on balcony. Beach tip: Take snorkel gear to look for fish and see what is swimming around. Fun Go to O'Steen Beach Access for snorkeling. It is a 15 min walk or 5 min drive, but parking is limited and costs $20. So fun!

We had a wonderful stay at Holiday Surf in unit 419 during our recent trip to Destin. The condo was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We especially loved having easy access to the private beach and the view from the balcony was amazing. We would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Destin.

PERFECTION

The property was clean and as advertised. There was only 2 of us and plenty of room. Bathroom & kitchen ready to go with nice fluffy towels and plenty of dishes and silverware. The balcony view was absolutely beautiful and the table &chairs out there were just right to see over the rail and enjoy a cup of coffee or a meal. The building setup was well thought out and convenient. The walkway to the pool & beach was clear and level, just right for us to feel safe getting to & from the outside. We saw dolphins every day. We could not have been more pleased and hope to make this our vacation home again. This was our first stay in Destin. Thank you, Josh, for a great experience!!

Why they chose this property

We had been looking to purchase a unit at Holiday Surf for nearly two years. It took some time to find just the right one, but we were patient and we purchased our first unit, #415. We were able to renovate it and make it just what we wanted. When Unit #419 came available, we decided to repeat that positive experience with this little one-bedroom unit with the spectacular view. We love how close Holiday Surf is to Destin Harbor. Whether we want an evening of fine dining, or something more casual, there are many, many wonderful restaurants nearby on Destin Harbor. Of course, we also love to visit the Silver Sands Outlet Mall and the stores and restaurants in the Santa Rosa Beach area. It will take many trips to Destin to do it all!

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the quiet, low traffic area on Holiday Isle and appreciate the emphasis on guest comfort that we have found at Holiday Surf & Racquet Club. There is nothing like an early morning walk on the beach -- so quiet and peaceful. We love listening to families outside playing tennis or splashing in the pool or on the beach during the day. Their laughter is contagious! You'll leave for home relaxed and refreshed -- already thinking about next year's vacation.
