About this property
Holiday Isle Unit 409 - Large & Family Friendly
- Weekly Discounts
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 (HI) Resort offers many amenities: outdoor pool, indoor pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna, tennis / pickleball courts, fitness center and a private boardwalk to the beach. Privacy and security are ensured at HI from the gated parking garage entrance and night security patrol. An EV charging station is available for guest. Our unit has granite kitchen and bath countertops and new appliances and beautiful hardwood flooring. The living room has a large flat screen TV as well as TVs in the master & queen guest bedroom. Free WIFI and U-Tube streaming local 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. The island is on a major bird migratory path and the Audubon Bird Sanctuary is wonderful for bird watchers. Outdoor nature enthusiasts can enjoy 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.

About the host
Hosted by Cathy Albright
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.
