Dauphin Island is a "rare find" barrier island off the coast of Alabama. Dauphin Island is a true barrier island essential to maintaining the estuarine ecosystem because physical nature of the island prevents the inflow of salt water from the Gulf of Mexico into the bays and sounds. While on Dauphin Island you will discover a true dune system, maritime forests, salt marshes, tidal flats and two fresh water lakes. Relax on the beach, relive history at Fort Gaines, bike to the Indian Mounds, pet a horseshoe crab at the Estuarium at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, hike the trails of the Audubon Bird Sanctuary or just lose yourself in the charm of Dauphin Island.
Another treasure to discover is Holiday Isle, a luxury beachside condominium situated on 665 front feet on the beautiful white sands of the Gulf of Mexico. This seven story, 144-unit resort is nestled near the Dauphin Island fishing pier and the Little Red School House and is scheduled for completion in May of 2007.
A 6-foot-diameter saltwater aquarium welcomes you into the well-appointed lobby. Amenities abound the resort with a spectacular outdoor pool, tennis court and indoor pool with hot tub, sauna and steam rooms while the state-of-the-art fitness facility and clubroom offer breathtaking views from the second floor. Covered parking is provided for this gated community. Each Holiday Isle home features nine-foot ceilings with recessed lighting and extensive crown molding throughout. Floor to ceiling glass in the living room and master bedroom maximizes beach and gulf views including Sand Island. Standard amenities include granite countertops with undermount sinks, stainless kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, and whirlpool tub and separate shower in the master bath. In select units, a wet bar with wine cooler and ice maker are included. No details were overlooked in these Holiday Isle homes ranging in size from 1,202 to 1,866 square feet.
