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.

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.
