Perfect

This is our second time staying here. My family and I absolutely love this condo. We call it our vacation home. I have a five year old and teenagers. They were all perfectly entertained. The condo has everything you’ll need and Sandy is also wonderful. She’s part of the reason we keep on coming back. She’s organized and attentive. She responds right away to any requests you have and calls you weeks in advance to set up details and ask questions. I even brought my dad with me this year and she bought an air mattress for him since the pull out couch can’t be used. I’m so thankful for Sandy, this condo, the resort itself and Dauphin Island. I can’t wait to come back again and again. My home away from home. ❤️

What more could you need!

Sandy's condo was absolutely beautiful and very spacious. I have never stayed at a place that was so well stocked. We're from NC and took a gamble on visiting a beach we've never been to, and boy did it pay off. Thank you Sandy for great communication and sharing your condo with us.

We had a wonderful time on Dauphin Island. Sandy’s place was fantastic! We spent most of our time on the comfy balcony or on the beach! Of note, the beds are very soft which most people like. We will definitely be back!

Perfect location and perfect for a small family!

Best location on the island and very close to the beach. The pools were a bonus for our children. The kitchen was perfect for cooking our own meals, and the electric grills were a fun challenge one night. Walking distance to a few restaurants and ice cream as well. Our entire stay was wonderful, and the host is super responsive and helpful. I would recommend this place to everyone looking to stay on the island. We would love to come back.

Wonderful Well Equipped Condo

The condo was great for our family of five. Location is right on the beach and close to everything on the island, either a quick walk or a quick drive. Communication with Sandy was great. The condo had everything we needed, there wasn’t one thing we wished the condo had. If we return to Dauphin Island we will for sure stay at this condo! The complex itself was great for our family as well!

Spring Break 2024

We needed this vacation so much and Sandy's place did not disappoint! The condo was well-stocked from dishes to condiments/spices, beds were super comfortable and the view from the balcony was spectacular. While it was a touch windy and chilly, we did enjoy the beautiful beach, bike rentals from Joey at Salty Dog rentals, the ferry ride to Fort Morgan and goodies from Lighthouse Bakery. Our son loved the indoor pool! A very relaxing and lovely break. We hope to come back!

A fantastic beach retreat

Sandy was a pleasure to communicate with. She checked in with us every step along the way. The condo was great, and well stocked with everything you could need. There may be less options for activities or places to eat, but the beach is less busy than Destin or Orange Beach, and just as beautiful. We would definitely come here again and stay here.

An Amazing Vacation

We had an incredible vacation at Sandy’s condo. It had everything we needed. The location was perfect. We used our car very little and could walk almost everywhere we needed (shopping, good, ice cream). Sandy was always available for us when needed. She actually called me a few weeks before the trip to answer any questions we may have. That helped ease my mind tremendously. I’ve stayed in this condo building a couple other times before and this was my first time in Sandy’s condo. My family and I plan to continue staying here from here on out. She’s a wonderful host and that speaks volumes. I look forward to our next trip!

Perfect Vacation Spot!

This was our second time visiting Sandy's condo on Dauphin Island, and this trip was just as incredible as the first! Sandy is a perfect and friendly host, and is available for anything and everything you may need. Her place is fully-stocked, comfortable, clean, huge, and the balcony can't be beat! It is by far the best rental home we've stayed in and Sandy goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and taken care of. We can't wait to come back and would highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a relaxing getaway!

Very Nice Condo

Stayed here with four adults and two teenagers. The pros certainly outweigh the cons. The condo itself is beautiful and well stocked. Communication with the owner, Sandy, was excellent. We liked the less crowded environment on Dauphin Island and, during our two trips to Gulf Shores, we are sure we made the right choice. The beach is very nice, but the walk is a little burdensome if you are older or have a lot of beach gear to carry (on that note, the condo had chairs, towels and an umbrella - something we have never seen in any other condo). Going out to eat on the island can be a little problematic, so be prepared to wait. (On our last night we found a gem of a family restaurant called Catalina in Bayou La Batrie. Only a 20 minute drive and we highly recommend it). Being above the pool, it gets a little noisy, but pool closes at 10 PM, so not a problem for quiet evenings. I gave 4 stars, but this is probably more like 4 1/2, we recommend this location and would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Walker

As we were growing up, our parents worked very hard, and could often be heard saying, 'I'll be fine if I can just sit for a minute and catch my second wind!' So the name of our home on Dauphin Island is called 'Second Wind', where we look forward to spending time with our children & grandchildren and those we love, just relaxing, laughing, enjoying the island, the beauty of the gulf, making memories as we catch our 'Second Wind'!

Why they chose this property

We loved the ocean view from the large balcony, and we so enjoy the sunsets here during all seasons! The huge kitchen and spacious living areas work well for our family. And, Dauphin Island is an easy drive from our home in Mississippi, as well as very drivable for our children in Nashville & South Georgia.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with Dauphin Island on our first visit! The 'simple life' was just perfect for sharing time with our family! The island doesn't have a stop-light! Who wouldn't love that after a work week in Memphis! We found that it creates many opportunities to make memories together on the beach enjoying nature! We feel that vacations should be enjoyed; not one spent in a waiting line for a restaurant!
Again, the island is a unique place, and our unit at the beautiful Holiday Isle complex offers everything for your comfort: luxury accommodations at a luxury complex with truly breathtaking views of the beach and Gulf of Mexico from this beautiful 5th floor location!
