Loved this place! Stayed here with my daughter and felt completely safe. We loved being on the beach and the views from our living room. The place was clean and well-supplied. Lots of restaurants and shopping close by. Will definitely be back!
My daughter and I stayed here while on a mini spring break trip. We absolutely loved the condo and the property. The management staff were all very nice and the complementary beach service was a great perk.
Upon arrival the unit was pristine! The check in/check out process was easy and the desk staff was friendly and helpful. We have never seen such a beautiful beach before. Beach service was essential to get a break from the heat and just what we needed. It was such a wonderful stay, we didn't want to leave!

We stayed in 209 for 4 nights and had a wonderful trip. The condo was super clean and the beds were very comfortable. The remodeled kitchen and bathroom were lovely and the furniture was very comfortable. The second floor view is really great and it is super easy to get to the beach or the parking lot from the stairs without using the elevators. We definitely would stay in 209 again.

Completely enjoyed my time at the Racquet Club. Clean atmosphere, easy beach access, and overall just quiet. I did however feel like the maintenance man who took care of the pool in the mornings was less than polite and almost rude.

Our room choices were limited bc we decided to go last minute and most of the lower floor 1BR condos were already rented.(Snowbirds) But our condo was nice and comfy and we had a great few days. Julian was just great as usual and the weather was very nice. Going back in May and cannot wait! HSRC never disappoints!

I’ve never had a bad experience at Holiday Surf & Racquet. The only problem we had with unit 209 is the toilet did not flush properly. We contacted maintenance and they came, but it still did not work as it should. Other than that everything was great as always.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Condo was great. Disappointed in the construction going on had we known may not of stayed there
Loved the view but elevators where closed due to construction. Exercise room closed for over a week due to construction. I work mornings remotely and construction noise bothered me. Went twice without water all day due to construction. Disappointed in all the construction and how it was handled Laundry was poor. Half the washers and most the dryers were out of order on 4th floor. Other than that people very nice and condo was very clean and loved decor
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. This place is located perfectly right above the pool and steps away from the beautiful beach. Came fully equipped for my stay absolutely wonderful place to stay. We definitely will be back!!
The condo was well stocked with kitchen items, beach accessories, boogie boards, snorkel gear, sand castle buckets, etc... There were 2 rolls of toilet paper, 2 packets dishwasher detergent, bottle of dish washing soap, 1 roll paper towels, 2 clean kitchen towels/wash cloths.
4 bath towels, 2 wash cloths, 2 hand towels. Hair dryer, ironing board, measuring cups, can opener, etc ...
Fitness center is nice. We are avid gym goers.
Laundry room on one of the floors.
They had some floats you could use under the bridge at the dunes. First come first serve.
Great place and beach was perfect. Only downfall was no washer or dryer in rooms.

Reviewer Comments:
The main complaint was some general maintenance needs. The bathroom sink and shower drains were clogged. Shower faucet needed to be replaced due to mold.
Condo was clean and beach access with chairs was very convenient. Beach was beautiful! Not super close to restaurants but inexpensive Uber. A few great restaurants were easy walking distance.
