About this apartment rental
Welcome to Happy Joy, our bright and comfortable beach condo located just steps from the beautiful white sands of Dauphin Island, Alabama. Whether you’re planning a relaxing family vacation, a couples getaway, or a peaceful retreat by the water, this cozy condo is designed to help you slow down, unwind, and enjoy island life.
One of the things guests love most is the easy walk to the beach. Walk out the door and in about two minutes (yes, we timed it!) you’ll be standing on Dauphin Island’s quiet, uncrowded shoreline. On your way, you’ll pass the community pool and outdoor shower, making it easy to rinse off after a day in the sun.
We’ve tried to think of everything to make your beach trip easy and relaxing.
To help you pack lighter and enjoy your time on the island, we provide beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, an umbrella, and a beach cart so you can easily carry everything to the sand.

My fiancée & I took a week at this amazing condo to ‘get away from it all,’ and are so happy with the result.The beach is so close you can hear the waves from the front door! Inside, the condo is super-clean, with amenities everywhere! Laundry detergent, dishwashing pods, black washcloths for makeup removal, decked out kitchen, good WiFi... you’d be hard put to find something missing.We spent plenty of time on the island, but you’re also in striking distance of Mobile, Biloxi, take the ferry to Gulf Shores, or take a short drive to Ocean Springs (the Walter Anderson museum is definitely worthwhile.)Yum it up at the Lighthouse Bakery on the island (danishes are crazy good,) Spot of Tea in Mobile, and Sugar Rush Doughnuts & Coffee in Bayou La Batre for breakfast. Po’ Boys for lunch at Pirate’s, and grab dinner at Catalina’s in Bayou La Batre or Islanders on Dauphin. Everyone is super-nice. We kinda had a hard time finding a bad meal.Joy was very receptive to our needs, and the on-site manager, Dee, seemed ready to help at a moment’s notice. We didn’t need her, though: the place was rock solid from the get-go!Go! Enjoy!
