The condo was absolutely beautiful! We had a great relaxing time with plenty of room for the 7 of us that stayed! Would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay at this condo. It was well stocked with all needed kitchen items plus some. I always bring everything because you never know what a place will have or not have but I was surprised by some of the things found (like seasonings besides salt and pepper). I wanted to make gravy one morning and forgot flour, but there was a small bag in the cabinet. Plenty of trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper. The condo complex itself had plenty of parking, a nice pool and a very long walk way to the beach. While the condo is beach front, it’s a very long walk. You will want to pack your needs for the day and limit trips back and forth. The patio was very nice and seating was comfortable. If you’re like me and you like to hang your clothes, bring your hangers. The master closet is closed off. Not a complaint, but an observation. I bought hangers at the dollar store and there were plenty of hooks elsewhere. The island itself was laid back and quiet. Everyone was friendly.

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!

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.
10.0
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

This was a very nice condo. It did not have much equipment for the beach but this was known prior to arriving. The AC unit did not work for about 24 hours but unit was replaced quickly and communication from owner was very good.

We loved our time! Only two things we were not aware of. There is not a coffee make for Kcups and the Master Suite does not have any closet space. Other than that it was great and we would stay again!

4 adults, 3 children (6-13): spent an entire week and enjoyed every minute of it. Property was perfectly located in the beach with easy access to restaurants. Plenty of space, easy parking, well supplied kitchen, and private balcony. Absolutely perfect condo!

Loved the condo, loved the hotel, loved the location! We were wanting a more “secluded” and not as busy beach to stay for the weekend and this condo provided just that and more! We loved the pools too! Such a great experience!! The owners were great with communication too!

We arrived on Thursday and the ac was running. It got a little warm in the condo. Friday it got warm in the condo. An ac guy came and confirmed it had frozen up. He said it was probably low in freon and that would be taken care of the next morning. He instructed us to turn unit off for 4 to 6 hours.
We did. The ac thawed and then cooled most of the night. But froze up again.
*Derek, the property manager did offer to relocate us to another condo. But it would have been so inconvenient.
Saturday night was pretty much unbearable. 76 degrees in a beach front room in May. Called Derek back and we did change condos.
Derek did work with us to help us continue our vacation peacefully.
The condos were clean and the manager was very kind.
Condo owners should have HVAC serviced each spring to prevent this type issue.

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!

We had an amazing trip! The property was even prettier than the pictures. Derek and Kim were excellent and quickly helped us fix the issue with the Direct TV since a storm knocked the signal out the night before. My husband was so thankful so that he didn't miss any basketball games. :) The beds were very cozy and we slept great. The kitchen had everything we needed and the large table was perfect for family dinners and game nights. The view from the large porch was amazing! The only thing we would have liked to have was beach chairs, although my kiddos loved the pool floats that were provided. They had a blast in the pool as well as the ocean! A great place that we would ABSOLUTELY recommend!

This condo was so wonderful. The interior furnishings were all very high quality, including the super nice furniture on the balcony! It was conveniently located on the first floor which was super convenient to the parking garage and exit to pool/beach. We have stayed in many condos but this one really had a fully stocked kitchen which was awesome since we like cooking some meals while on vacation. I would highly recommend this place!!

This was by far our favorite condo we have had anywhere!! Plenty of room, clean, and a great location! The huge balcony was amazing!

We rented this condo over the Thanksgiving holiday. We rent vacation homes a couple times a year and this was one of the best we have ever rented.
The condo is very well equipped. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen had everything we needed.
The condo is very spacious with lots of seating and cute décor. The beds in rental properties are often very cheap and uncomfortable. The bed in this condo are fantastic. I think the king bed was more comfortable than mine at home and my kids said the same thing.
The location and view are wonderful. My daughter also loved the indoor pool.
We are already talking about going to the island next Thanksgiving and I would rent this property again in a heartbeat!

Just right for us
I was really impressed with the property. I wasn't sure if I would like being on the first floor but it was just so nice not having to wait for the elevator! The bed in the master bedroom was comfortable. The pools are just as nice as they look in the pictures. The beach is not crowded at all. It's a really nice place to relax

Beautiful condo with a fantastic host!
Derek was nothing but wonderful. I had several questions and he was always quick to answer. We even had a scheduling mishap where we thought we were checking out Saturday but we had mistakenly booked leaving on a Friday. He was gracious and kind and gave us extra time to pack up! The property was just as described if not better. Gorgeous ocean views and very convenient being on the first floor. Everything was clean and in good condition. We would definitely consider staying here again if we visit Dauphin Island! Again, thank you Derek for your kind heart and great attitude! We need more hosts like you!

Perfect!!
It was a beautiful place. Very peaceful & Well kept. Only a few min walk to the beach. We didn't have the best weather (in mid April) but we did get a cpl days for a cpl hours at the beach and the kids still got to enjoy the inside pool. We also spent the rainy day at the aquarium there on the island. We arrived late (after 6) on the first day and everything (food wise) was closed so we had to drive back to the mainland (I know, we should have ate first) but we were excited to get there. Lol.
Great communication with the owner. We all deff had a great time! Highly recommend!

Ideal location
This condo was in an ideal location on the island. Just steps away from the beach and included an indoor and outdoor pool. Within walking distance of restaurants, shops or an ice cream after dinner. The condo itself provided everything you could need for the beach or just relaxing on the porch overlooking the gulf. My sisters and I enjoyed cooking our meals after our day of sight seeing or just relaxing by the pool. It was conveniently located for day trips to mobile for golfing and areas of interest. We also took advantage of the ferry for a trip to tour fort Morgan. This condo had everything we were looking for in a vacation. Thanks

Visiting our college kid
Our middle daughter goes to the University of South Alabama and we decided to stay on Dauphin Island instead of our normal Gulf Shores. Wanted to take a look at the island and this particular property as we are considering getting a place on the beach for ourselves. Fantastic location and to our surprise we think the island life style would be fine. The property was exactly as described and the only “complaint “ we had was no hair dryer! We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Condo
