Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second visit from the UK and still love the location, but the large groups on the beach with no restriction on music volume led to a group of drunks playing loud music all day. There were 3 weddings whilst we were there and maybe this is what is behind the 'party atmosphere'. Our previous visit was quiet and idyllic, so now would question whether to return.The apartment was spotless and well fitted out, but the kitchen and bathrooms are looking a little 'tired'. ##### Kevin W.

I understood that Holiday Surf had 3 different standards of rooms. I saw pictures before I rented and it was stated as #2 premium. It is in definite need of an upgrade. Friends of ours were also in a premium room, but it was totally updated. I asked the staff and they said there was just 5 or 6 standard rooms and maybe our friends room had not been re-classified yet. I just know we payed the same amount for our rooms. ##### Terry W.

Cons:Needs new mattresses, you have to take your own garbage out which is in the parking lot and a long way from your room, could only get 1 of the 3 TVs to work..I didn't ask for help but I think in this day the TVs should just be smart TVs and drop the cable. Overall I would recommend to stay here but just be prepared to walk alot to get anywhere. ##### Erin S.

Reviewer Comments: Last year in 2023 we booked an impromptu 5 night vacation in room 422 and was first introduced to Holiday Surf and Racquet club. We fell in love with the property and had a wonderful vacation. This year, we booked another 5 nights and chose 523\. The condo was super clean as to be expected, but was very outdated. Cosmetics was not as much of a bother as the condition of the kitchenware. The pots and pans were all scratched and dented and we were afraid to even use them but had no choice. One of the showers had super low water pressure. Was overall surprised at condition of the unit for as premium of a property as it is. Still enjoyed our stay and love the property but will be more selective on the unit for our next trip. ##### Julie T.

The condo was clean and comfortable. We were not a fan of the long and winding walk to the room outside the building. It was scary after dark with all the hiding places along the way. Beautiful views. Hot afternoon sun on the patio. The staff was very nice and helpful. Lots of nearby restaurants but be prepared, the prices are HIGH but the food is good. We enjoyed the McGuires Irish Pub the most. The pool was beautiful and well maintained. ##### RENEE T.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked another unit & were forced to switch to another with under 30 days to check in due to unit sale. The photos are not very representative of actual unit. Housekeeping did a nice job with cleaning the damaged & old unit. Carpets were already showing some wear & tear. Painting needs to be completed. Entire unit #523 needs updating & basic needs were missing from kitchen (cutting board, sheet pan, scrub sponges). All kitchen pots & pans were old & damaged. The HSRC property management team (Brittany, Vicki & Michelle) stepped in & provided some new basic necessities for the kitchen. Unit has stained & broken furniture, very old decor, & lacks many cooking needs for folks that travel in to a beach town. Positives - Spectacular view, location & safety. I do not hold VRBO or HSRC responsible for these issues, but the owner of this property needs so help. Thank you! ##### Kathy P.

Reviewer Comments: Thus condo was adequate. Comfortable furniture but not colorful. I found the kitchen poorly equipped. Had to purchase a few things to leave for the next guest. Cookie sheet and a vegetable peeler. I have been staying with Holiday Surf for close to 20 years. And will return soon. But i think i will check with VRBO. The private owners give a much better ambiance. 524 is where i was back in April it was awsome. ##### Jim E.

Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Holiday Surf and Racquet Club multiple times and we will be returning. Loved this unit so much. The view was great and it has super easy beach access. We had a water leak while we were there so the water had to be turned off for a few hours at one point, but the property kept us completely updated so we could schedule accordingly. Overall, we loved Holiday Surf Unit 523 and we will be back! ##### ShayLee J.

It’s located close to the stairs so we were a few steps from our vehicle. Since we stayed during the winter, we spent more time in the room than usual. Loved having multiple TVs and WiFi access. The beach was great. Temps were in high 60s and low 70s. Beach was not crowded and we even swam a little in the ocean. Also, the pool is heated. We’ve stayed there 3 times. Going back next year! ##### Jerry Wayne F.

We arrived and check in was very easy. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The grounds were clean.
