Adorable Lil' Ol' Beach Shack

Escape to the tropics at Henry's House. It's a gem of a house, designed by renowned architect Eric Moser, with interiors by an HGTV insider. It's a classic coastal design, with high ceilings, big windows and lots of outdoor living spaces. There's a master bedroom downstairs that opens directly onto the deck and an upstairs bedroom that's washed in natural light. Outside, there's a wrap around deck with a dining table and shower. There's WiFi, of course, and a shady fenced yard so bring your pup.
It's a short bike ride or even shorter drive to The East End and Main public beaches, golf course, Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and DI town center. The house comes with 3 bikes, so you can get around the island like a local.
P.S. Henry's House is named for our Amazon parrot, Henry, who has been a regular on Dauphin Island for years.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a fenced private yard.

We had such a relaxing stay at the Beach Shack. It was just what we needed for a quiet get away. The house was very clean kitchen was well stocked. The bikes were great for exploring the island and the screen porch was a perfect place for our morning coffee. We couldn’t have picked a better spot!

The stay at Henry’s House was more than we had hoped for. It was peaceful and quaint! Sitting in the screened in porch area was one of our favorite things about it where we gathered and just enjoyed to outdoors. The weather was perfect to be either in the shade or out under the canopy of trees. We did not want or need anything else as everything was provided for our stay other than our meals, which we enjoyed on the island. I would recommend it here 10 out of 10 times and would stay here again. It captured a world on its own and was a lovely sanctuary away from reality for a spell. I can’t say enough positive things about Henry’s House.

Great quiet place!

Wonderful place to stay, quiet neighborhood with everything you need there at the home. Bikes, board games, privacy, the only knock, which it wasnt bad is the neighbors dogs run up to the fence and scare the mess out of you every now and then, but its just dogs being dogs. Overall we had a great time and would definitely recommend this home.

Beautiful House in a Relaxing Location

First time staying in a house on DI. Fantastic house with beautiful landscaping and interior design. Very functional for our family of 3 on a quiet street with easy access to the entire island. Well appointed with all the necessities, a grill, coffee maker, and plenty of towels. The deck and outside area is great and the bikes are a great addition. Nice and relaxing trip at a very affordable price for a holiday week! Glad we found this property and hope to stay again!

Excellent peaceful getaway in a really cute little house

The house was just perfect for the two of us and our dog. The house is located in the middle of a tree lined residential neighborhood It is quiet and convenient to beaches, stores restaurants etc, Everything in the house was great and the bikes were used to explore the island. East beach and Middle beach are a short drive or bike ride away. After staying there. Any help we need with appliances or information, the owners were quick to respond. we booked in again for next year before we even left.
