Here's what others have had to say about TOPS'L Beach & Racquet Resort.

• "Beautiful resort located on gorgeous white sand beaches with Bahamas like clear water. Resort has 12 excellent clay courts with a busy tennis group to play with. Located close to Sandestin Resort with excellent golf, dining, and recreational activities and boating nearby."—D.G., Adv., March 2024

• "We landed at Tops'l Tennis solely based on location, availability and price. We arrived in Miramar Beach area with no reservations or knowledge of the area. After two nights at the nearby Courtyard we ended up in a tennis condo at Tops'l. The first morning there, the clinic was cancelled due to the low temps, so I scheduled a lesson with Joe for the next day. Please note, I've played at facilities all over the country, some of the finest facilities out there. I've taken many lessons from top/name professionals, but the lesson from Joe.....best I've had in the last 15-20 years. He is quick to evaluate your game and where you need improvement. With me it was 'tweaks', fine tuning, minor adjustments, all of which he was very good to point out. There is a lot of activity around the courts. After the lesson Joe introduced me to a 'local', who in turn introduced me to others, and I ended up having a terrific tennis experience there. It is an open, friendly place that is welcoming to strangers and wants to make sure you have a good time. The courts are all har-tru, very well maintained and layed out in a very nice manner........no more than one adjacent/next to another. The layout requires you to walk amongst the courts which increases your interaction with others and the possibility of meeting other players. The courts are surrounded on 3 sides by condo's and by the clubhouse and pool facility on the other. It is a very appealing, comfortable setting."—J.K., Adv., December 2020

• "The worst condo I have ever staying in the 25 years I have been going. Nothing worked. Ice maker broken. The dryer didn't work. Water leak on floor right when we got there. The place was falling apart."—A.R., Pro, May 2019

• "We have a group of 12-15 that go every year for the excellent service we get from Joe D’Aleo the head tennis Pro who does a wonderful job of organizing our accommodations and court time. The courts are right out the back door of the condos and always in very good shape, ready for play. Being in San Destin Florida restaurants are very good and easy to get to. We will be back for sure with our group next year as our tennis destination!!"—T.C., Int., April 2019

• "Tops'l never fails to deliver! We recently returned to Tops'l for the Helen Drake tournament. Always a fan favorite. Probably our 7th or 8th time playing this event, and it continues to be one of the best in the south, and the nation. High level tennis, great scheduling, smooth running, and accommodating and professional staff. Joe and his staff are available during the entire span of the event. We travel to Tops'l from TN, and it's worth the 6.5 hour trip, every time. Go for the tournament, and return to enjoy fun round robins, pick up matches or a quick hit with a top pro! We try to get to Tops'l once or twice a season. The clay is spectacular and the beach is gorgeous. The pools at all the properties are fantastic, and so well maintained. We travel with our young son, and the kids activities and movie nights are fantastic! You can look hard, but you cannot find a better Tennis/Beach vacation for the entire family, then Tops'l."—T.G., Adv., April 2019

The design of the tennis facilities is the best I have seen near the ocean. The courts are protected from the wind and it is a very social place. It is extremely easy to get in a game. There are lots of tennis playing visitors and the best attribute is that the local players are very good in accommodating visitors into their tennis games."—S.B., Adv., May 2018

While I am a strong 4.0-4.5 player but my wife is a beginner n topsl has multiple clinics n program for both of us. All 3 teaching pros are excellent. I highly recommend a private lesson to improve your game. However if u prefer group lessons those are very beneficial as well. Recent major updates to the work out areas are fantastic. The spa, sauna n steam rooms are clean and kept in very good condition. Highly recommend Topsl with no reservations to every tennis play regardless of their skill level."—G.R., Adv. Int., April 2018

The Director of the tournament was very professional, as well as pleasant. Sadly, living on a VERY limited budget, I could never afford to stay on the property while at the tournament.
