My take on the social, vacation rental, vacation sales and lifestyle of living on Dauphin Island on Alabama's ForgottenGulf. Our island's official slogan is "the Family Beach Within reach". This is a very appropriate description. I also have Twitter feed as DauphinIsland and can be found on Facebook.

UPDATED on July 22nd, 2010.
Recent sales to date http://bit.ly/HolidayIsleSOLD20100722
As of this morning the auction is still on.
I have a list of some of the prime units or can send photos/videos of some these as well.
82 fantastic units at Holiday Isle condos on Dauphin Island are scheduled for lender foreclosure auction.
There are some truly stunning units included in this offering. If you need someone with local knowledge of all the units, the construction, the sales and the island market I am available to consult on this sale. Time is of the essence so contact me immediately.
Investors, the time is ripe to own practically a whole upper floor of Holiday Isle including a prime end unit. This has the potential to be a wonderful private floor or treated as a prime hotel-like setting.
This is the ONLY concrete constructed mid-rise on Gulf Front property on Dauphin Island. Construction costs were around $300 a sq ft. These units could sell for well below 170 a sq ft, the rates for some recent sales.
My fee to represent a buyer at this auction is 1%.

Firefighters to be on boats and "have verifiable HazWoper and/or Hazardous Materials Technician Certification. Individuals will be working on boats overseeing the collection of oil from the gulf. Due to federal requirements, each vessel must have one person on board that has one of the above-mentioned certifications before it can collect hazardous materials."
