Thank you Susan, for the memorable birthday we celebrated in your very special condo. It was a lovely setting and so well equipped in every way. Thanks for the information on the Light House Bakery. Miss Mary baked make my husband's cake. It was absolutely the most beautiful and delicious cake we have ever ordered! Thanks again for personalization of our stay and for making us feel so at home in your home!
Sincerely,

| We had a wonderful time at Dauphin Island and Susan's condo was the icing on the cake. It meet all our needs and was so comfortable. This was a perfect place for a "girls trip", myself, my daughter-in-law and my three granddaughters. We have talked about it so that the guys are saying they have to come with us next time. |

| Three generations of our family (grandparents, myself and spouse as well as a six year old, three year old and a one year old)recently spent a week at Susan's condo on Dauphin Island and cannot say enough about the location, details and overall comfort of her place. We saw dolphins swimming offshore one day while we were swimming at the beach! How's that for an added bonus! The condo is so family friendly and so nice. We cannot wait to plan a visit back to Dauphin Island and would call on Susan again. So many great memories were made with this vacation; if you are thinking of a beach vacation, this condo/location is great!!! |

| Thanks for being so very accommodating and gracious in taking care of our needs. The condo is beautiful and well furnished in all respects. The view is great from that spacious balcony - we loved it. The beach was wonderful as always and now it is even more inviting with such luxurious accommodations. Again, Thank you! |

| What a wonderful, WONDERFUL condo! The pictures on the website do not do it justice. Every detail was thought out and the beach and view at the condo was breathtaking. If you want peace and quiet and extremely comfortable beds, this is condo for you. The linens and towels are superb and everything you need for cooking a great meal as far as utensils is provided. Had a great experience at Skinners Seafood - the family is very knowledgeable about their shrimp/fish and their chowder is really yummy. Walking on the beach, which is so wide, was such a pleasure and the crowds are low. Our trip was a success and we will be back at this condo - as much as we travel, this is our favorite! |

AWESOME place to stay. I was down there last year
for a week while my grandparents rented the condo
for the month. We all loved it so much, we are
returning this February for another month! Very
quiet, lovely place to relax and get away from all of
the cold weather here in Michigan. I am 21 - my
grandparents in there 70's - always something to
do for everyone! My grandma can't stop raving
about Mrs. Strickler and how professional she was
to deal with. Great place to rent!! |

A very pleasant and relaxing place to stay. Tastefully and subtly decorated. Extremely convenient to all the right amenities -- beach, pool, fitness, parking.
The Stricklers were professional to deal with and the accommodation was as indicated in the description.
The result was a great vacation that was as relaxing as we hoped it would be. |

Susan,
Our family had a wonderful time. Your Holiday Isle unit is beautiful and very comfortable. The view was fabulous. Dauphin Island is very quaint and relaxing. We visited the Estuarium, Fort Gaines and took the Mobile Ferry to Ft. Morgan, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. We ate Skinners Seafood two nights, had pizza from Rainbow Island two nights, dinner at the Oar House and Crusty Crab and lunch at Lighthouse Bakery. All were delicious. Of course, we shopped at Ship and Shore (almost everyday). We spent a week of quality family time and that is difficult these days with a 21, 18 and 13 year old. Everyone enjoyed themselves. We took long walks on the beach, worked out with a view of the ocean, the boys fished everyday, swam in the ocean waves (the water temperature was perfect) and the pool, watched the dolphins play and enjoyed wonderful weather. We also visited West End Beach and rented a jet ski. On Friday night, they had a beach party there with games for the kids and tikki bar for the adults. It was really nice. We hope to come back soon. Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to visit your beach home. We highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Strickler's lovely condo in the Holiday Isle Resort. Although from the outside, it is rather dystopian looking as the parking deck faces the street, it was nice to pull up right in front of the unit and unload. The inside was lovely. All granite and stainless steel and very nice furniture and bedding. My family particularly enjoyed the large balcony and nice quality furniture out on the balcony. With a sofa, large chair (with cushions) and two chaise lounges, our family of four could all be out there at the same time reading and staring out at the ocean. Thank you for having such a well furnished and attractive unit. It was so nice to have all the appliances and pots and pans I needed to cook and all the games and movies for the kids. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I personally hope to revisit your unit this fall for a girl's weekend.

| We enjoyed our stay very much. The pools were great, especially the indoor one. We had a few days of rain. The unit was well equipped and tastefully decorated. It was very spacious. |

| This condo was a great place to spend a week. The kitchen is modern and open. The beds are very comfortable. I recommend eating on the lani as often as possible. It is also very quiet. Very little noise from the gulf or neighbors makes its way into the condo. It is a very natural area with lots of crabs, fish and birds to enjoy. The beach is not crowded. It is a quiet retreat or a short drive or boat ride to shopping or surf shops in either Mobile or Gulfshores- you choose. |

| We absolutely loved your condo!!! It was very well appointed with no details to design left unnoticed. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, relaxing in front of the great tv in the living room, and the bathrooms were extremely nice with huge tubs and glass shower. Breathtaking views and sounds of the ocean from the lanai made it the place to be first thing every morning and the last place before we slept in our extremely confortable beds at night. Our stay on Dauphin Island was amazing. Just one tip for people that haven't been there before...bring your bicycles! We purchased our 16 year old daughter one the 2nd day so she could explore all the trails. Thank you so much for your hospitality and The Holiday Isle Resort was the perfect place to find this gorgeous condo...we will definately be back. |

Homeowner Response:
I'm so glad you had a great time! You can certainly bring your own bikes. You can also rent bikes from the shop across the street from the condo.

| The time spent at Holiday Isle was wonderful. The staff there especially Vernel the guard at night was very attentive and went way beyond the guard role. Everytime he saw us he would ask "Is everything o.k., can I get you anything" Being in the hospitality industry myself, ill have about 10 of him. As for the unit itself the only suggestion I have, is maybe making a small handicap bar in one restroom and one shower. My father is 84 and has Parkinsons and had a little difficulty with this but overcame it. Thanks and I hope to see you next year. bob |

| Thank you, Susan, for allowing us to stay in your excellent condo! It was easily the best vacation rental we've ever had. The condo is truly magnificent, and the beach was awesome! The furnishings were amazingly kid friendly (smooth corners & tall surfaces) while still being extremely tasteful and comfortable. We really didn't want to leave. Holiday Isle was really great, too. We'll definitely be back! |
