The Best Kept Secret On The Gulf Coast! Family Friendly Breach Front Unit

SNOWBIRDS WELCOME! REDUCED RATES FOR NOV-FEB
Looking for a place where you can breath easy, disconnect, and relax from the daily grind. Begin your day on the balcony listening to the ocean, while your eyes enjoy the sand dunes and palm trees just beyond hands reach while sipping your coffee. Holiday Isle Resort offers upscale amenities comparable to other luxury resorts, these include: an outdoor pool, indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, fitness center(with beach front view), tennis courts, and a private boardwalk to the beach.

This beautifully decorated, stunning first floor(unit 117), luxurious 3 bedroom condo is stocked with top of the line amenities, upscale designer touches, coupled with quick access to the pools and beach-NO ELEVATOR RIDE! The kitchen is a chef's delight, fully equipped with a beautiful back-splash, granite counter-tops and high end appliances. You are just steps away from an indoor and outdoor pool(located on the first floor) which encompasses a Gulf view.

Enjoy a panoramic view while utilizing the workout facility. Take the boardwalk to the expansive white sand beach, or walk to the secluded end of the island for a tranquil get away. Fish Mobile bay, the Gulf, or direct from your lounger on the beach. Utilize the chef inspired kitchen to prepare your freshly caught sea trout or Spanish mackerel. Not biting, dine at one of the island's locally owned restaurants.

Embrace Dauphin Island's small town atmosphere complete with NO traffic lights, locally owned restaurants and local artisans. Explore the natural beauty of the island by bike and visit Dauphin Island's Estuarium and Sea Lab, the Audubon Bird Sanctuary or Putt Putt Golf and the skate park. Your children will love the hands on exhibits at the Sea Lab. Are you a history buff? Visit historic Fort Gaines on the East end of the Island.

Golfers take advantage of the Isle Dauphin Golf Club and the nineteenth hole, locally referred to as the Pirates Bar and Grill. Parasailing and other outdoor adventures are a short ride away on the Mobile Bay Ferry over to Gulf Shores. Or just spend the day on the beach and allow the ocean spray to soak into your pores. Embrace the evening with your favorite island beverage as the ocean breeze brushes across your skin on the large relaxing balcony with the one(s) you love forgetting the outside world.

The best place for a relaxing getaway!

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!!

Amazing Spring Break Trip

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.

We will definitely be back, beautiful condo that was well suited for our family. Enjoyed the pools and the beach. A new beach access is under construction and will be very nice once complete. The owner stocked the condo with everything we needed; great time.

Nice place

Being on the first floor a couple doors down from the pool/beach access was really convenient. The only mix up we had was the code for pool/beach - we were told a new code, but that actually didn’t go into effect until later in our stay. Not a huge deal though because we could talk to staff at the desk to confirm.

Beautiful but under construction

Condo was delightful. Everything we needed as a family of 5. Pictures really don’t do it justice. There is so much more natural light and the patio is huge. Only complaint is that the boardwalk to the beach was removed the second day we got there. This made getting to the beach with all out fishing and beach gear very difficult. Had we been notified construction was taking place we may have chose somewhere else. Let alone every morning we woke up to the sound of chainsaws and forklifts. Enjoying the outdoor pool or our patio was almost impossible with the noisy equipment. Understandable that improvements need to be made but we would have appreciated the notice. We learned of the removal from a resident of the condos not through our booking

Would Stay Again!

Very well kept condo, spacious throughout! Very easy walk from the parking lot to the condo and easy walk from condo to the pool (1st floor condo and pool). The only downside is the long walk to the beach. There is a boardwalk over the dunes that makes it somewhat easier. But it’s still a long, not easy walk to the sea. We would stay here again though!

Nice stay

We like Dauphin island because it is very quiet. This apartment is very nice and I like being on the first floor so that I never have to wait for the elevator. It makes it easy at check in and check out. The building in general is very well maintained and the staff is helpful

Beautiful Condo

This was the 3rd time staying at Holiday Isle and this was the best condo by far. Everything was well decorated and clean. There were plenty of beds for our large family. Plus they had everything you'll need for the beach and in the kitchen. We will definitely rent again next year!

Fabulous condo with cool decor.

This is one of the coolest condo we have rented at Holiday Isle. The decor was so fun and the condo was immaculate. The mounted paddle boards on the walls were so neat and it is as beautiful decorated. We also enjoy being on the 1st floor so quick walk to the hot top, pools, or cars. Definitely my favorite condo at this resort!

Nice Condo on the Beach

Enjoyed our stay at this condo - the location on Dauphin Island was great. The communication with the property manager was good and the check in process easy. Be aware there is paperwork to sign and a lengthy set of rules to sign off on when staying at this condo - none of the rules were unreasonable, it was just a little stressful knowing there were 3 pages of rules to follow.

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.
