The Surf and Racquet Club is a gorgeous, private, gated resort that is extremely well maintained. The resort offers DIRECT OCEAN ACCESS, 2 AMAZING POOLS and 4 HAR-TRU TENNIS COURTS that are meticulously maintained with a resident tennis pro. The lovely grounds and sweeping lawns are just steps away from the RITZ CARLTON via either the beach or a paved pathway draped by a live oak canopy.
Please note that this unit is set up for adults only... Although we love children (and have raised 2 ourselves!), there are NO child safety features in the condo, we have high end furnishings, high end original art, showers only and the 2 separate 6th floor balconies aren't child friendly, so we simply aren't comfortable hosting children. Thanks for understanding.
If you wish to book for more than 2 weeks (which is set as our maximum), contact us for additional information.
Guest accessThe location of this south end resort accessed from an idyllic tree canopied street just steps away from the Ritz Carlton can’t be beat! Miles of beachfront at the back of the complex and miles of pristine paved trails to the front with pools and tennis on the property and golf, restaurants and shopping all less than a mile away offer something for everyone! Parking is easy and free within the gated community.
Additional notesWe supply basic boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels and an umbrella. But, you can rent more elaborate chairs, umbrellas and boards to be brought to the beach and set up for you each day. Contact Riptide Beach Rental for more information
We also supply basic tennis racquets, but, professional racquets can be rented at the on-site Pro Shop.
Guest interactionWe have a keyless entry system that makes checking in easy and will be in touch before your visit with codes and other info for your visit.
