About this property

Holiday Isle Unit 409 - Large, Luxurious & Family Friendly

Dauphin Island is a 16 mile long barrier island, located south of Mobile, AL with convenient access from I-65 and I-10. With only 1,300 permanent residents, Dauphin Island has a small town vibe and offers a peaceful, relaxing vacation. Situated on the Gulf of Mexico with direct views of the water, this 3-bed, 2-bath vacation rental condo is perfect for 8 guests.

Holiday Isle Resort is a luxury resort offering upscale amenities including an outdoor pool, indoor pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna, tennis courts, a fitness center and a private boardwalk to the beach. Privacy and security are ensured at Holiday Isle from the gated entrance and night security patrol. Each unit has granite kitchen and bath countertops and high end appliances. Our condo has beautiful hardwood flooring & has been recently repainted and redecorated. The living room has a large flat screen TV as well as TVs in the master & queen guest bedroom. Cable, free WIFI, and local calls are included. Playing cards, puzzles and other games are provided for your enjoyment.

Dauphin Island has a small town atmosphere and is the best kept secret on the Gulf Coast. There are no traffic lights, just miles of bike paths, walking trails and white sandy beaches. It is easily accessible from interstates 10 & 65 with a beautiful drive via the causeway and bridge. The island is on a major bird migratory path and is wonderful for bird watchers and outdoor nature enthusiasts with biking, boating, fishing, and golfing.

For history buffs, visit historic Fort Gaines on the island or take the Mobile Bay car ferry to Fort Morgan near Gulf Shores, both strategic locations during the civil war. Visit Dauphin Island Estuarium and Sea Lab, a showcase of the natural resources found in Mobile Bay Estuary, the 4th largest estuary system in the US. The kids will enjoy the many hands on exhibits such as the sting ray touch pool. Swamp and alligator tours are available nearby. An hour away, Gulf Shores, abounds with shopping and adventure opportunities and Biloxi, MS offers casino gambling and live entertainment.

Great stay on the beautiful Dauphin Island Beach

Cathy's communication was outstanding from the beginning. She gave me all the information I needed to get checked in and enjoy my stay and promptly answered any other questions I had before and during my stay. The condo is a couple hundred yards to the beach, but there is a nice, private boardwalk that takes you straight there. It's convenient to several restaurants and shops and even within walking distance to a few, including Island Rainbow (ice cream & snow cones), Pirates Pizza & Wings, and Dauphin Island Trading (souvenirs and small necessities) that are directly across the street. Beach items such as a canopy, chairs, a sand wagon, kids' floatation devices, beach towels, and beach toys were provided in the condo which was really nice. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for the 8 people in our group for sleeping and being comfortable while we were relaxing in the condo. The balcony is big and well-furnished and we enjoyed spending a good amount of time there. My group had 3 adults and 5 children - one child slept in a large bed with an adult and the other children slept in the bunk room (2 bunks for a total of 4 twin beds) and it worked perfectly for us! We really enjoyed our vacation and I would recommend this place to anyone with a similar size/style group of people. Much thanks to Cathy!

Family Vacation

I really liked the quietness of Dalpin Island. The place I stayed was really nice. The only thing was one of the cookers we were going to use had dried eggs in it and the coffee machine had coffee grounds left in it. The host of the property was an absolute blessing. Overall I’d stay again…I would just hope that the housekeeping did a better job!

Young child friendly vacation

We really enjoyed our stay here with our 4 yr old and 18 mo old. The wagon, toys, and chairs were clutch, as was being on the water, albeit it is a decent walk to the beach given wide sand dunes. Our condo was missed by the cleaner, but the owner was great in terms of arranging cleaning shortly after arrival and making the situation right. Would stay here again.

Fantastic Condo!

We loved everything about this rental and its owner. Everything was clean and in great condition. Beds were comfy. The deck furniture was wonderful - our family of 8 ate outside at the large table almost every meal. There was plenty of room for us to spread out in the living room. Both bathrooms were large with closed off toilet rooms - a nice feature when you have a large group. Th condo was loaded with everything we needed - beach towels, sand blankets, beach bags, a cart, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, toys, etc. The kitchen was also loaded - blender, crockpots, air fryer, muffin pans, a griddle, coffee pots, tools for grilling or for kebobs and fish, pitchers to make tea or lemonade, etc. The owner was friendly and very responsive. She gave great recommendations for where to put our kayaks in the water, etc. We were thoroughly pleased with every part of our trip and will certainly look no further and happily rent this unit again the next time we are in Dauphin Island.

Excellent host

This was our first visit to the property. Cathy is a first-rate host and the unit is nice and very well stocked. Among other kindnesses, she graciously allowed us some flexibility with check in/out times since other renters were not coming or going the same days. One of my favorite things about this unit is the extra-spacious balcony and its furnishings. There are two seating groups on either end, and a table set-up in the middle and still there was plenty of open space. We enjoyed the beach and both pools. The covered parking option was a plus, and there were plenty of luggage carts. We liked the complex and would go back!

Perfect Oceanview Stay

This condo exceeded our expectations! It was a pleasure to sit out on the balcony each morning (and throughout the day!), enjoying the serenity and the ocean view. Having the ocean and two pools (and a sauna, steam room, hot tub, workout room, and ping pong table!) at our fingertips was such a gift, and we enjoyed every minute! Other fun things included trying out restaurants and going to souvenir shops (just across the road), taking the kids to the playground and the beach on the other end of the island, and visiting Fort Gaines. Lighthouse Bakery was a hidden gem that we're also glad to have found. As for the condo itself, it was clean and well stocked with plenty of beach and pool toys, etc. The only improvement we could think of would be a bit more lighting in the living room. We're all hopeful we can stay here again!

Piece of Paradise

The unit is beautiful and well maintained. Everything we needed was already there (plus more)! Our teenagers enjoyed the crab nets and towels. My husband and I enjoyed the spices available for grilling, the eas of checking-in, the super fast communication with Mrs. Cathy throughout our entire stay, and the gorgeous view from the balcony. The beds were incredibly soft, too! Would definitely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Albright

Host profile image
Upon retirement from UPS, I wanted a vacation property to share with family and friends that would also let me be a winter snowbird. We named our property Santee Shores as we lived in Santee, CA for six years while my husband was serving in the US Navy submarine service stationed at Ballast Point, San Diego, CA.

Why they chose this property

We visited Gulf Shores 10 years ago and took the ferry to Dauphin Island. We fell in love with the small town atmosphere as we are from a small town in Indiana. When the opportunity recently came to purchase a beach property, Dauphin Island was my first choice. I never tire of the view from our balcony.

What makes this property unique

Holiday Isle is a fabulous family resort with all the amenities - beach, indoor and outdoor pools, spa, sauna, fitness center and tennis court. Regardless the weather, there are activities available.
