About this property

Happy Joy- Pool-Sleeps 6- 2 Min Walk to Beach- Family Friendly and NO STEPS!

Welcome to Happy Joy, our bright and comfortable beach condo located just steps from the beautiful white sands of Dauphin Island, Alabama. Whether you’re planning a relaxing family vacation, a couples getaway, or a peaceful retreat by the water, this cozy condo is designed to help you slow down, unwind, and enjoy island life.

One of the things guests love most is the easy walk to the beach. Walk out the door and in about two minutes (yes, we timed it!) you’ll be standing on Dauphin Island’s quiet, uncrowded shoreline. On your way, you’ll pass the community pool and outdoor shower, making it easy to rinse off after a day in the sun.

We’ve tried to think of everything to make your beach trip easy and relaxing.
To help you pack lighter and enjoy your time on the island, we provide beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, an umbrella, and a beach cart so you can easily carry everything to the sand.

Happy Joy comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests and is perfect for families, couples, or small groups looking for a peaceful beach getaway.

Families love this space. It includes:
• Twin daybed with trundle

Living Area
The open living room is bright, welcoming, and perfect for relaxing together after a day outside. Comfortable seating and a large TV make it a great space for movie nights, board games, or simply unwinding.

An additional twin daybed with a trundle bed are located in this space with linen curtains for privacy.

Many guests comment that the beds in the condo are some of the most comfortable they’ve ever slept on!


Kitchen
The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed to prepare meals during your stay, including cookware, dishes, utensils, and small appliances. Whether you’re making breakfast before the beach or preparing a seafood dinner after a day of fishing, you’ll have what you need.

Bathrooms
The condo includes two full bathrooms, stocked with towels and essentials to make your stay comfortable. They are not large bathrooms, but they are clean and stocked.
