The Fox Den was so cozy. We felt like we were in a cabin in the woods, but were so close to everything Dauphin Island had to offer. The host, Jennifer, was amazing. She made sure we knew about everything on Dauphin Island, groceries, activities, and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.
