Clean and comfortable

The unit was very clean and comfortable. Great location with amazing views. Staff was very friendly and professional. No stoppers for the bath tubs to take a bath so we settled for showers. A few wall sockets were not working but all in all I would highly recommend!

Overall good stay

Overall, the condo was good. However, the first night we slept in the queen bed and it was so uncomfortable we barely got any sleep. The bed was old and hard. We contacted the condo manager through Vrbo and they were very helpful. They brought a mattress topper and installed it. Unfortunately, the actual owners never responded or tried to solve the problem. My only other complaint would be the water pressure. Aside from that, we had a great stay.

Great Facility - Dolphins in the morning!

The only issue we had was at check-in. Our condo was given to another family prior to us arriving, so instead of walking the beach after we arrived, we had to wait in the lobby for them to move the wrong occupants out of our rental. The front desk staff seemed to handle it well, just frustrating after a long day of travel. The rest of the stay was wonderful. Mornings on the balcony watching dolphins while we ate our breakfast. Days on the beach, later afternoons by the pool. Close to a lot of different restaurants and shopping. Will definitely put this on our list of "will stay again" properties.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Very family oriented atmosphere safe and secure great unit with bad mattresses. The king bed in 708 is extremely noisy if you roll over the whole unit knows. With a business like this you’d think they’d replace mattresses every 5 years or so the mattresses we had were over 10 years old with broken down foam toppers

Dated Unit, needs attention

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were disappointed to see how much attention this unit needs. The paint is scuffed and chipped from walls and cabinets, the kitchen cabinets were sticky to the touch where you grab them to open them, many of the outlets don’t work and/or have gotten so loose that they don’t hold a plug in, and the lighting is extremely dim everywhere but the kitchen. There is a door from the main bedroom to the balcony that won’t open. We also wish these units had their own washer and dryer.

Wedding Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed in room 708 for my nieces destination wedding. I had the benefit of seeing several inside cabins and with the exception of 724 (which is REALLY nice) 708 was the best I saw. The carpet, which is in good shape add a definite level of comfort. The other all-tile rooms I saw were all very outdated and sterile. I told my sister her room felt like a room that conjucal visits happen (not that I would know). I read several reviews on the condo and many stated dissatisfaction with the beds. The owner responded acknowledgment for the bed issue so I hoped that issue would have been remedied prior to my state. It was not. The bed is hard (even with the addition of foam toppers) and squeaks very loudly anytime you move in bed. The sun shines in VERY brightly into the master bedroom at sunrise. After that morning I layed the extra blanket over the window to block the morning sun. I noticed from the outside that 90% of the condos have plantation shutters on that window, although there are shutters in the living room, only flimsy curtains in the master bedroom. Each TV had several remotes which were hard to figure out as each TV was different. There are are no restaurants within walking distance. The beach was nice and fun to walk down to in the AM. Beach service includes chairs and umbrellas. Hot tip- check-in desk sells ice bags for $3. I would stay in this or room 724 again but not the others I saw.

We stayed for a short while (Tues-Friday). Definitely not a long enough stay. Wasn’t a long walk right to the beach. Kids loved it. We will be back.

Unit 708

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our vacation was really great. Hokiday Surf and Racquet Club was in a perfect location and a great setting. It sits right on the beach and was quiet. The amenities were perfect. Unit 708 is nice but the kitchen is borderline gross. It needs a major upgrade. Cabinete are broke and sticky. The stove is old and chipped with avent hood that needs a serious cleaning. Pans are really old. The bathrooms could use exhaust fans. Bedrooms are really nice. The view from the units is spectacular.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Such a great location and the rental was just perfect for our family. There were a few minor things, such as a broken barstool, and the shower faucets that need fixed, but overall, a great condo. I read previously that the king size bed was in need of replacing, and that’s true! My husband had to sleep sideways!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We love Holiday Surf overall. This trip was disappointing. So much disruption due to maintenance and upgrades. Very noisy and A/C and water disruptions. Hope this time was the exception and all the major upgrades are done. The staff at HSRC is great. Always cheerful and helpful. The 708 unit we had was not nearly as nice as other units. It was clean, but very tired and out of date. The couch is extremely uncomfortable and saggy. Mattress should be replaced. Kitchen cabinets need to be replaced, they are original and feel sticky.

Some frustrations but we had an overall nice stay.

The room wasn’t clean/ ready by the 4pm check in time. We waited an hour and n the lobby with our one and three year olds for them to finish and the door code didn’t work when we got up there. The girl at the desk was very helpful when I went down to trouble shoot the code. I guess they take time to activate. The condo was clean, good repair, and exactly as pictured. The WiFi was great and we were able to stream movies and football games easily using our own Apple TV we brought. The beach front was apparently washed away in a storm. There is about 30 feet of beach in some places between the sand dune and water. In this distance chairs are packed in in double rows. Every morning we were there the umbrella/chair guy was 40-60 mins late. Check out was smooth and we still had fun on the narrow packed beach.
