Destin Penthouse Holiday Surf and Racquet

One of the cleanest units we've stayed in! Great view, great for a couple. The building only has 2 elevators in the middle (one was down a few times) so it makes for a bit of walking. Outside entry is fine unless it was raining and it rained a lot the week we were there. Lots and lots of families and kids.

Loved being right ON the beach with this rental. The views were immaculate. Sitting on the balcony with my breakfast was the best thing ever. Kitchen was well-stocked with pots/tools, it made cooking easy. Large TV. Comfy furniture. Bed is more on the firm side but I think it's new so that's nice. No tub, but shower did the job. Something to consider for certain people: it's a bit of walk in and out of the unit. It's on the far side of the building, top floor, and there was only 1 elevator working for the entire building April 2026. Carrying groceries and waiting for the elevator was a bit annoying. Just wanted to say that for older folks, disabled folks, families with little kids.

Wonderful ocean view, very clean and perfect for my husband and I. We enjoyed our stay!

Host was great to work with. Unit has a beautiful view of the gulf and is excellent shape.

This was our first trip to Destin. The room was beautiful and the view was amazing. Woke up to beautiful sunrises and most days could see dolphins out in the ocean. It was November so the place was pretty quite and relaxing.

Very clean condo. A great view of the ocean. Very satisfied with our stay!

Alicia’s property was beautiful! From the view from our balcony to the decorations and amenities! Alicia was a pleasure to work with and communication was awesome! My fiancé and I were visiting to check out possible ideas for our wedding in 2026 and we cannot wait to book! Thanks Alicia!!

The condo was nice and clean when we arrived. The bed sunk in on one side, we checked under the mattress and the box spring was broken and didn’t hold the mattress up on one side of the bed. We were only able to sleep on half the bed. Reached out to Alicia and she did not respond at all during our entire stay, 9 days. Very disappointing when you can’t sleep comfortably on vacation.

Place and cleanliness was fantastic. Communication was decent. Really the only negative was the bed. Not really comfortable. Would stay again, with only a tiny resentment.

Great condo and host.

Alicia was a wonderful host! She responded quickly to anything that I had questions about. The condo had an amazing view of the ocean. Super clean too may I add! I would definitely recommend this to anyone! Great stay A

Will stay again

Everything was great except the mattress.

We booked this unit for a 2 week stay. Condo was clean and pleasantly decorated. View of beach is great. Easy access to high rise property from main road. Long walk outside to reach the condo from the elevator but there are carts you can use for luggage and groceries. Bed was very uncomfortable. Bedding and linens were basic and poor quality. Dinette set had only 3 chairs (when I inquired, the owner said a previous tenant had broken a chair) so don’t invite another couple over for a meal. Couch is very worn. Keurig did not work at all. (There is also a coffee pot but we had already acquired k-cups for the keurig.) No clothes hangers in the condo.You cannot adjust the thermostat! Lots of rules about what you can and cannot do with a list on the counter that you don’t see until you arrive. Overall, we were disappointed. Would not recommend nor return.

Lovely condo overlooking the beach and pool.

The view was terrific even though we went during a stormy season, I enjoyed sitting on the patio. The internet was not great for working, my husband had a lot of difficulty with conference calls so I don’t recommend if you’re trying to get work done. If it’s only pleasure, then the property was great. The ammenities were unavailable during the entirety of my 2 week stay so if you want to swim in the pool , double check before booking.

Overall the stay was great, like others have said you can’t adjust the thermostat and that is frustrating for people who have medical reasons that need to sleep with it a few degrees cooler. The bed was a firm type which I normally don’t like but I slept amazingly on it. It was clean and easy access to the beach, this room does not come with an umbrella and chairs but you can pay for one to be set up. I would stay there again it is convenient to a lot of great restaurants and excursions.
