We had a wonderful time on Dauphin Island. Sandy’s place was fantastic! We spent most of our time on the comfy balcony or on the beach! Of note, the beds are very soft which most people like. We will definitely be back!

Perfect location and perfect for a small family!

Best location on the island and very close to the beach. The pools were a bonus for our children. The kitchen was perfect for cooking our own meals, and the electric grills were a fun challenge one night. Walking distance to a few restaurants and ice cream as well. Our entire stay was wonderful, and the host is super responsive and helpful. I would recommend this place to everyone looking to stay on the island. We would love to come back.

What more could you need!

Sandy's condo was absolutely beautiful and very spacious. I have never stayed at a place that was so well stocked. We're from NC and took a gamble on visiting a beach we've never been to, and boy did it pay off. Thank you Sandy for great communication and sharing your condo with us.

Great condo

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. The balcony was well furnished and very nice. Everything was decorated beautifully and well stocked. The pool was the best because part of it was shaded and a salt water pool.

Wonderful Well Equipped Condo

The condo was great for our family of five. Location is right on the beach and close to everything on the island, either a quick walk or a quick drive. Communication with Sandy was great. The condo had everything we needed, there wasn’t one thing we wished the condo had. If we return to Dauphin Island we will for sure stay at this condo! The complex itself was great for our family as well!

A fantastic beach retreat

Sandy was a pleasure to communicate with. She checked in with us every step along the way. The condo was great, and well stocked with everything you could need. There may be less options for activities or places to eat, but the beach is less busy than Destin or Orange Beach, and just as beautiful. We would definitely come here again and stay here.

Everything You Need for a Low-Key, Relaxed Vacay

This rental is quite possibly the nicest rental our family has ever used. We traveled with 4 adults and 3 kids under the age of 6, and this place was so comfortable and accommodating. The place comes with a totally stocked kitchen, more bath towels than you could ever use, nice-comfy bedding, and a view to boot. I highly recommend staying here. The owner, Sandy, is wonderful and informative on top of it all. We loved our stay!

Spring Break 2024

We needed this vacation so much and Sandy's place did not disappoint! The condo was well-stocked from dishes to condiments/spices, beds were super comfortable and the view from the balcony was spectacular. While it was a touch windy and chilly, we did enjoy the beautiful beach, bike rentals from Joey at Salty Dog rentals, the ferry ride to Fort Morgan and goodies from Lighthouse Bakery. Our son loved the indoor pool! A very relaxing and lovely break. We hope to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Walker

Host profile image
As we were growing up, our parents worked very hard, and could often be heard saying, 'I'll be fine if I can just sit for a minute and catch my second wind!' So the name of our home on Dauphin Island is called 'Second Wind', where we look forward to spending time with our children & grandchildren and those we love, just relaxing, laughing, enjoying the island, the beauty of the gulf, making memories as we catch our 'Second Wind'!

Why they chose this property

We loved the ocean view from the large balcony, and we so enjoy the sunsets here during all seasons! The huge kitchen and spacious living areas work well for our family. And, Dauphin Island is an easy drive from our home in Mississippi, as well as very drivable for our children in Nashville & South Georgia.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with Dauphin Island on our first visit! The 'simple life' was just perfect for sharing time with our family! The island doesn't have a stop-light! Who wouldn't love that after a work week in Memphis! We found that it creates many opportunities to make memories together on the beach enjoying nature! We feel that vacations should be enjoyed; not one spent in a waiting line for a restaurant!
Again, the island is a unique place, and our unit at the beautiful Holiday Isle complex offers everything for your comfort: luxury accommodations at a luxury complex with truly breathtaking views of the beach and Gulf of Mexico from this beautiful 5th floor location!
