Experience top-floor, penthouse level luxury and relaxation with a beachfront view that seems like you can "Sea Forever"! Sea Forever is what we called our family’s personal Gulf of Mexico, top-level seventh-floor oceanfront retreat on Dauphin Island... and because we are offering it for sale by owner first, we are able to list it for sale below market value. It’s a 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo, offered fully-furnished and equipped with top-end quality.
There’s nothing quite like the seventh floor for luxuriousness, quietness, and a “Sea Forever” view at Holiday Isle here in the Sunset Capitol of Dauphin Island, AL. Uncrowded white sand beaches stretch for miles to the south, east, and west-- and panoramic bayside and bridge views greet you as you walk through the breezeway to the north. The extremely large beachfront balcony can be accessed through floor-to-ceiling glass sliders from both the living area and master bedroom, and the view stretches all the way from the kitchen to the dining, and even from the jetted tub in the fabulous master bath! The master bedroom also features a high quality king bedroom suite, a walk-in closet, a separate glass shower, and double sinks set into a granite-topped vanity. The second bedroom is bayside, with a queen bed, another walk-in closet, and a direct-access bathroom that can also be accessed through the living area. The kitchen has all stainless appliances, granite counters, ample storage, and quality furnishings, and the living area has a premium pull-out sofa bed. A separate utility room near the door houses the washer and dryer.
We have seldom rented our Sea Forever unit, keeping its penthouse view and furnishings mainly only for use by our own family and friends. However, we still have it fully equipped to rent, and it has already passed all short-term-rental inspections. From the fully-installed Ring doorbell to the Keurig, it even has beach towels and equipment and board games ready to go for you and your family-- or any rental guests! But maybe the best thing about our condo is that the top seventh-floor location insures a quieter stay, since fewer owners and guests pass through the seventh floor as they do when accessing lower-level amenities.
Holiday Isle itself is a gated, top-end condo complex with the most amenities and highest-end options of the entire island. It has both large indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, a grilling area, a sauna and steam room, a high end weight and work-out facility, a posh owners’ lounge fully equipped and available for owners’ events and gatherings, a ping pong table, atria gathering rooms on every floor, tennis courts, gated security, and ample covered parking. HOA dues cover those amenities, as well as cable, water, sewer, and exterior maintenance. The gold-standard construction includes full concrete frame with stucco exterior, steel studs, EFCO impacted rated glass windows and doors, 3 story gated poured concrete parking deck, and storm surge flow-through under the living units.
Every day feels like vacation on Dauphin Island with its bike trails, birding, rich historical sites, kayaking, sea research lab, and more. Dauphin Island itself is the way beaches used to be, unspoiled and uncrowded, with quaint restaurants and family-centered togetherness… and our Holiday Isle condo Sea Forever has been the best place for our family to make all those memories.
