This place was great! Quaint, little peaceful island. The unit had an amazing view of the dunes and beach. The unit had lots of space and comfortable beds. We would highly recommend this location and unit.

Thank you for your kind words and we do hope you choose to stay with us again!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The unit and amenities were really nice. One of the best places I have stayed at over many years visiting the coast. The only thing that could be better was the 0.3 mile walk to water’s edge. The boardwalk was super but the equally long walk through loose sand was a struggle for this old lady.

We are so glad you enjoyed our home away from home.
Hope to see you guys again.
This condo was super nice, well appointed and very clean. It is floor unit so no elevator to deal with to get to pool, beach or car. Easily one of the nicest condos we have stayed in at the beach and we’ve been coming a couple of times a year for the past 30 years.

Thank you for your kind words. Please reach out again, we would love to see you in the future.
The condo was so beautiful and so cozy! My daughter and I loved the beachfront view, beach access, and indoor/outdoor pool. And the location is so convenient to any and everything. If I had to try and give any feedback to make our stay better; the boardwalk from the condo to the beach was under construction, but it is supposed to be finished any day now! We will definitely stay here again!!

Thank you for your kind review. We do apologize for the unexpected beach access construction. Our understanding is it will be completed by May 1st.
We do hope you choose to stay with us again in the future.
This is a great place to stay on a really quiet beach. It's in walking distance to a few different restaurants and all of them had great food at good prices. We were between renting here or at the complex next door but made the right decision for going in April since a couple of the days were cooler and we were able to hang out at the indoor pool and hot tub. We look forward to visiting here again when the walkway to the beach is complete.

About the host
Hosted by Derek Vance
Why they chose this property
Retaining wholesome family values and safety is growing more difficult in these times. Our family wanted a place where we feel comfortable allowing our children some freedom to roam. Our teens ride the bike paths to the market or to and from one of the local restaurants safely. You see tweens to Baby Boomers enjoying the bike paths. Holiday Isle (HI) is a gated facility with security personnel working 24 hours a day. All HI personnel make you feel right at home as do the locals. From the pool or beach you can see your patio and anyone on the patio. The beach at Holiday Isle is private, to the east is public and to the west are privately owned homes. The beach is about 10 miles long so from HI you can see to the end of the beach, east to west. Dauphin Island is "Mayberry on the beach" minus Otis. The only commercial business is a Subway located in the Circle K market. We love knowing that people who have lived here for generations own and operate the restaurants and stores on the Island. We were embraced by the locals hospitality from day one. Growing up in a small country town I knew this was where I wanted our children to bring friends and eventually, one day, bring their own children to escape the confines of an uncertain world. Here you can just absorb God's beauty untouched by franchised commercialism and truly enjoy your time together.
What makes this property unique
There is not a bad view from Holiday Isle. Every condo has an ocean view. We love our condo because you are on the beach. From the patio, palm trees and sand dunes are just beyond your reach. The pools and hot tub are literally two minutes away, no elevator required. Access the boardwalk to the beach from the pool area. Convenience, beach living, quiet, friendly, and natural beauty brought us here.
