Holiday Isle 218 - Dauphin Island, AL

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.

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.
