Holiday Surf --- you can't go wrong!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second trip to Destin to stay at Holiday Surf. It was fantastic -- could not have been better! The condo we stayed in was spotless and totally perfect! The view from the balcony (which is important to my hubby) was great. The pool was very handy and the boardwalk down to the beach was exactly how we wanted! You can not go wrong staying here! And their staff --- great great people, always so helpful and friendly. And for me - a big check mark is that they remembered our names when we walked thru the lobby and always spoke to us! Wayne Ledbetter is a gem and a super star! But all of the staff and property was first class!

And the furniture in the living area stayed damp the entire time we were there.... Cleaning products, maybe?

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our vacation rental place was great. It was reasonable priced, centrally located and nicely decorated. The bathtub in the master bedroom had a slow water drain problem, but this was the only we didn't like. Everything else worked as promised. The complementary set of beach chairs and umbrellas were very useful. The beach was top notch. Warm Emerald hued waters and sugar white sands.

Great Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 5th or 6th time to stay at HSRC our our first time in Unit 617. We will definitely rent this again. Kitchen was fully stocked and they even had a crock pot! Beds were very very comfortable. My only complaint this trip was the lack of washers and dryers. The property was fully booked so it made it hard to find available washers and dryers. The property should think about putting in another laundry room on another floor.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 July 2023
Kim, Thank you for staying with us again. We always enjoy having you as our guest. We did have a pretty big crowd this year and we apologize for any inconvenience in regards to there not being enough washers and dryers.
