Holiday Isle 218 - Dauphin Island, AL

The condo was really nice, with a wonderful view of the ocean. The king size bed was very comfortable, so we got really good rest. The only downsides were all the oil and gas rigs in the Gulf breaking up the view of the horizon.

Who is stayed there for 10 days in mid November. We had an unfortunate cold spell. It is about 400 yards to the beach which is beautiful. A good portion of that is on the boardwalk. Our view from the second floor was great with palm trees right off of our deck. The condo was very nicely apportioned. Plenty of towels, large kitchen, dining area, living room, spacious bedrooms, and two baths with Jacuzzi tub. Large deck with a large table to eat at and a couple of lounges and a couch. A bunkbed and queen and one bedroom and a king size bed in the master suite Our thermostat needed to be replaced which they addressed within 24 hours. We were given the wrong gate code to get in but we were able to reach somebody after hours and get another code. I covered parking and being 50 feet from her vehicle was a real plus. good security they keep the place very clean and there is a nice workout room if you’re so inclined

The condominium at Holiday Isle is beautifully furnished in a classy beach theme that is comfortable and appealing to the eye. There were plenty of towels and linens for the bedrooms and bathrooms. The king size bed was comfortable. There are floor to ceiling glass walls with sliding glass doors off the living room as well as the master bedroom with room darkening drapes for both. In the master bath, there is a nice size Jacuzzi tub supplied with plenty of hot water. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dishes, glassware, silverware, and cookware should you want to do a little cooking or eat in. Surprisingly, there was a very nice set of knives to use so often missing in most rentals. The view from the balcony is great. The complex has a nice indoor pool and larger outside pool. There is a hot tub by the indoor pool also. The boardwalk to the beach is a bit lengthy, but we didn’t mind the walk. Loved the parking near the door. We visited in the Fall during off season so the beach was sparsely populated and the community very quiet, but that’s just what we were looking for. If you are looking for a peaceful place for some R & R, this could be your place. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

This condo was perfect for a quiet trip to the beach.

Beautiful roomy condo, very well maintained.

Great condo, looks just like the pictures. Pretty much everything you need is provided. Full kitchen with kitchenware and a full size washer and dryer. The a/c didn't seem to be working when we stayed but I won't take any points off because it wasn't really hot. We had a great time though and are definitely going back to this place!!!!

Very spacious.

As soon as we got to the condo we discovered that the thermostat was broke, the pool was closed for almost two full days, the boardwalk to the beach was closed for 2 1/2 days and nobody was even working on it. This resulted in an even longer walk to the beach and with kids that’s tough.

easy check in. lots of parking. two types of coffee maker. bed fairly comfortable. walk to beach long, but worth it since it not ever very crowded. cleaning could have been a little better. and if you are renting beach chair/umbrella, you should plan ahead and call the day before to insure you get one.

The unit suited us very well. Very comfortable, welcoming and clean. This particular unit is a great location in the building with easy access to the beach. This would be a 5 star rating if Vacasa had been available and attentive. My wife reached out to Vacasa via text three times and once via cellphone concerning our inability to use the TV and also about a clogged drain in the master bath sink. They responded each time (with a response text, and actually had a conversation with someone at the main office via cellphone) and we were promised someone from the local office would get back to us to address our problems. They also promised a plumber would come the next day. No one locally ever called or texted. No plumber ever showed up.

We enjoyed our stay at Holiday Isle 218. The condo was well equipped and the facilities in the building were nice. The only downside was the extended walk out to the beach but this had nothing to do with the unit. Unfortunately, the sand build up at the beach and peninsula located in front of the building made for a rather long walk. It didn't bother us too much due to the fact that we were there for birding purposes and didn't use the beach much.

This condo has it all! Great views, clean everything, and the kitchen has everything you need. The Holiday Isle has great amenities as well. The steam room is perfect. Thank you. You made our stay great!

Everything was fantastic, would stay again!

Even though I live in California, Dauphin Island is my special place. I grew up nearby in Mobile and come home often and always take some time to stay on DI. I discovered Holiday Isle about 6 years ago and it is my favorite place to stay. I've stayed in 5 different condos there and this ranks in my top two. I've never been on the second floor before and it was great. The location is to the west of the pool and the boardwalk so very quiet and private and you feel like you are on the beach, but still a wonderful water and sky view. The furnishings are very comfortable and have an elegant, non-fussy/frilly beach/ocean vibe. There were plenty of drawers and closet space and most importantly the kitchen was very well equipped. As a food writer and recipe tester - I loved that! I am normally bringing two boxes of pots/pans/kitchen equipment when I go to a new condo anywhere. I won't need that next time. I liked that there was a keurig and a drip coffee maker, a blender, a hand mixer, good knives, great baking sheets and pots/pans. Bowls for mixing and bowls for serving. How can you go to the Island and not be cooking up fabulous seafood from there? The main bedroom King size bed was so comfortable and was a Serta with a remote to adjust for each side. So FYI it is two mattresses tightly side by side, but great for when one of you wants to sit up in bed and read while the other naps, but close enough to snuggle. It was just my husband and me, but the second bedroom has another king bed and bunk beds so you could easily sleep six and there are two great bathrooms. We loved it so much we wanted to extend our stay, but it was already booked. Can't wait to go back.
